FEAR KEEPS MANY MEN FROM THE
BLISS OF WEDDED LIFE.

Trip to th Altar Varloaa llraaon
That All p'ell "Afral.l."
"Thero In a (treat deal of pecula
tion," unlil a well known lawyer, "a

llin npeculatorn, anil tlint In Hint tunny
of lliem nro afraid to. No, 1 am not

lilered sttiteineiit of fact, for which I
can adduce as many proofs an you
want, that ninny men would nlmoat as
noon think of patting a tierce bull on
the head or fiielng tho mlilnlRlit bur
glar na tnkltiK n trip to the altnr.
"I remember as a boy an amufllng
apeclnien of this kind of man In Iowa.
IIo wan a farmer and van aa notorious
for his nmorotis entniiuli'inents na for
his liiBenulty In fnrtt'.ng out ol them
when marrlnito begun to loom near.
It was nnld he had been cnnnKcd a
dozen times, and though he left all his
fiancees In the lurch ho never found
any difficulty In gcttlnn a siiccessor.
Ono day my father, who was his law
yer, aHked him: 'Why don't you get
mnrrled, John? it Isn't for want of
opportunities, you know, and it's quite
tlmo you thought of settling down.'
" 'Well, sir,' John answered, 'It's this
way: You see, I like coortlng well
enough, but I can nlvver summon up
pluck to go any further. To tell you
the truth, I'm nfoitrd of getting tied
for llfo to ono of 'em.'
"If you have heard many breach of
promise suits yon will havo observed
that this wholesome drend of matri
mony Is the cause of a good proportion
of them, though all tho defeiulantg
have not tho courage to suy so.
"One client of mine had allowed mat.
ters to proceed right to the eve of tho
wedding day, when ho disappeared
mysteriously and was not discovered
for some months. The young lady
promptly sued him for dnmnges for
breach, nnd nt the hearing the reason
for his conduct came out Ho admitted
thnt he wns fond of the girl, but sun
dry exhibitions of her temper nnd Jeal
ousy which ho had witnessed had so
Beared him Hint he simply hadn't tho
courage to marry her. 'I meant to
marry her right enough,' ho said, 'hut
when it camo to tho point my courage
failed me, nnd I thought it safer to
bolt.'
"In another enso In which a widow
sued a widower for playing her false
the defendant put lu a slngulnr plea. It
seems that the widow's family strongly
objected to tho match, nnd as pnssivo
opposition was useless to prevent It one
of tho sons, a stalwart young fellow,
called on the middle aged wooer and
told him thnt if he persisted In his suit
he (the son) would give him such a
thrashing' as would effectually euro
him of any further sentiment. 'So
what could I do?' tho defendant pathet
ically asked. '
"The more one sees behind the scenes
the more one realizes that there Is often
a great deal to be said for the man who
loves and runs away. One of my clients
a few years ago found himself In an
awkward quandary. He hnd engaged
himself to three girls at different times
and, having canceled his engagements
with two, was on tho eve of marrying
No.' 3. No sooner wns his Intention
known than tho two Jilted Indies threat
ened him with legal proceedings if he
persisted In bis proposed marriage, and
the favored lady In turn threatened a
similar fate If ho didn't.
"Here was a dilemma, for whatever
he did would end unplensantly. How
ever, like a prudent man, he decided to
run tho smaller risk. He pacified his
two former fiancees by canceling his
engagement and prepared to face the
music of tbe third lady.
"The mother-in-law is often a fatal
disturber of love's young dream. One
breach of promiso defendant declared
that he would willingly have married
tho plaintiff only he couldn't stand
her mother at any price, and tho pros
pect of having his married liapplness
disturbed by her Interference so scared
him that he decided it was more pru
dent to break off the engagement, whllo
another frail lover actually stated In
court that he was afraid to marry the
plaintiff lest she should 'grow np like
her mother,' whose- 'tongue and tem
per' had shown him some of the leas
desirable possibilities of married life.
"One man whom I defended lust year
seems to have had a constitutional
droad of matrimony. He had been en
gaged to the plaintiff no less than nine
years. Four times the wedding day
had been fixed, and as many tlincB it
was adjourned by his wish., Finally
he cried off altogether, and in court he
declared thut, although he loved the
girl, he felt be could never screw up
the courage to marry her. When he
tag asked the reason for his dlltideuce
said that he had seen so much of
the unhappy side of married life and
the difference between wooing and
wedding that he didn't feel equal to
running the risk.
"These are but a few from scores of
similar cases which have come within
my own knowledge. One man feared
to face matrimony on account of his
fiancee's extravagance, another quaint
ly confessed a horror of his wife's
cooking and domestic gifts generally,.
it uura aeienaunt was arruia to wea
because a distant relative of his lady
love had died in an asylum, and so on.
Hut, whatever the cause, you may take,
my word for It that tho men who are

The lantern of the east is as old as
tlvlllzatlon. Its primary object Is to
protect the flame from sudden drafts,
beyond this Is the concentration of
light for tho convenience of a reader
nnd, lust and least, the regard for beau
ty. The oldest form la a perforated
ryllnder or. rectangular box. Of this
type there are numberless varieties, old
and new. The nmient ones which have
been preserved are of Iron, copper and
brass, nearly all simple In construction
and lltilsh, but a few richly decorated.
Occasionally one runs across lanterns
liniile of silver or Ivory. These come
from paliices or temples nnd lu most
Instances are richly carved. Not In
frequently the iH'iforiitlons are fitted
with pieces of colored glass, rock crys
tal, amethyst and garnet.
In China and Japan the traveler's or
street lantern Is a feature. This Is a
sphere or ellipsoid ranging from six
Inches to two and even three feet In
(II 11 motor, made of oiled paper, cloth or
silk. In Cathay this lantern Is used to
show the rank of Its owner by the col
oring or inscriptions on Its exterior.
Tho humble citizen uses a small affair
In white or red, the ottlcial of low rank
a sphere a foot In diameter hanging In
front of his sednn chair, while the high
mniiiliiiin employs a huge lantern, re
splendent with his titles In colors, car
ried by an nbleboilled cooly who walks
a yard In advance.
It Is in house lanterns that the great
est variety Is found. Of these the gen
eral typo Is a four, five, six, seven,
eight or ten sided box, whose length Is
usually twice Its width. Kmii side Is
a pane of glass, plain, ground, frosted
or decorated. From tho angles hang
pendants of ninny sorts. Tho frnme
work is usually of teak, but ebony,
rosewood, mahogany and other woods
are employed, often the sides of the
lanterns are alternately wood and
glass, the latter Ining covered with
ground designs and tho former richly
carved In relief or Inset with Ivorj'i
moilier-of-penii or silver.
I'poii ttie pendants the artificers put
their hardest work.. Some nro made of
colored bends, strung qnd mussed with
fantastic hIiiix's and knots. Others
are strings of little bells, which ring
with every passing breeze. Lines of
glittering tinted glass balls betray the
origin of a favorite mode of decorating
Christmas trees. Quaint objects In
gnudy enamel or colored porcelain, con
nected by 'threads, chains or wires, con
stitute ' n fourth nnd very , pleasing
group. Floral festoons made of arti
ficial flowers are popular, especially
with the fair sex. New York Post.
ANCIENT CITIES. '
Jerusalem In the days of Solomon
probably did not contain 20,1)00 people.
Constantinople at the time of Its
greatest splendor as capital of the east
ern empire had a population of about
l.GOO.ooo.
Babylon, whoso name has conie to be
synonymous with dense population,
never had over 1,200,000 Inhabitants tn
Its palmiest days, so the archa-ologlsts
declare, '
Athens, when she led the Greek
states tn repelling the invasion of
Xerxes, hnd only 30,000 Inhabitants,
but Herodotus speaks of this number
as If it was something to boast of.
Home, the ui (stress of tho world, tho
great city to which all roads led, "Itome
the Eternal," did not exceed 2,000,000
In population. Gibbon, Indeed, believes
thnt it had only 1,200,000, and tn this
ecitlmato be und Mllmun agree.

At Boulogne, during a royal recep
tion, a number of Fnglish ladles lu
their anxiety to see everything pressed
with such force against the soldiers
who were keeping tho lino that the lnt
ter were forced to glvo way and gen
erally were to use tho expression of
policemen "hindered In tho execution
of their duty." 'Tho ofllcer in com
mand, observing tho state of affairs,
called out:
"One roll of the drum If they don't
stand back kiss them all."
After the first sound of tho drum
the Indies took to flight.'

I'nllfriuan'a Caution Wiimvil,
Just now the companions of a recent
recruit to the police force are poking
fun at him because of a remark be
mado a few nights ago when he found
It necessary to arrest a very old offend
er. Arrived at the police stutlon, he
ushered the culprit In with tbe injunc
tion to "mind tho steps."
"Giang with you!" said the prisoner
scornfully. "I knowed ticse steps
afore yon was born!" New York Press1.

"I have here," began the chairman of
the political caucus, "somo charges
against this organization which"
Ills voice was overwhelmed by the
rumble of rising Indignation. When
tho noise subsided he continued:
"which I will refer to the treasurer.
They're for ball rent and light"
And harmony continued to reign.

THE FISHER MARTEN.
Conceited, fanning and Intelligent
and Wlthoat I'rar,
The fisher marten deserves to be
m,iirli better known than he generally
Is, If only on account of his own good
opinion of himself, his wonderful cun
ning and shrewd Intelligence.
One of the largest and hnuilsomest
of the martens, ho has also nullity,
strength and einliirnticn for any two
of his kind put together. Measuring
11 1 int three feet III length, with a slim,
vigorous body, the Usher will travel
enormous distances In 11 single night,
hounding lll.il.v !:; Into the air, with
his nose turned up lu order to catch
every wlillT of scent, on! wit ting other
aiiliuals mid the cleverest trappers and
milking himself at home wherever he
happens to find himself.
He generally chooses ns his hunting
grounds the thickly covered hills and
ridges where the hemlock and spruce
grow lu nliunilnnce, but lie Is as much
nt home on the tree tops as on the
ground and can sleep ns soundly In n
low hollow of 11 tree as on n branch of
a tlr tree, whore he ill IIo stretched
out In tlie sunshine like nny old cnt.
As for fear, he does not know what
It Is. He will not only face but ac
tually kill a Canadian porcupine nnd
does not even appear tn mi ml the
quills which penetrate his body. Ho
Is not pitt'tlculiiiiy fond of meeting an
old hear with culm, but Is generally
clever enough to steal her cubs while
she goes off on some little expedition
of her owu, while Instances have been
related of the fishers In tho UoeUy
moiiiilnlns even killing young grizzlies.
As for man, be appears to laugh nt
him nnd his designs for trapping wild
minimis. He will pull 11 marten trap
open anil take out the bait, whether
alive or dead: be will tear a pine mar
ten or mini; to pieces In no time and
curry It off or drug the trap over some
rough projection In order to spring It
nnd make off more often than not
without having received as much ns n
scratch.
But perhaps his cleverest trick, when
he llai's 11 trapper Is following his
tin II. Is to get behind the t nipper nnd
follow his, so that while the uncon
scious trapper Is walking after tho
fisher the lishor Is keeping completely
out of ilnnger by following tho trap
per. Many a useless mile has tho
trapper walked lu this milliner, und
many good baits has he lost by tho
very same shrewd, cunning nnliual ho
Is trying to trace and catch. Colliers

, A l.uokr tin me at Chess.
A story Is told of the Moorish piinco
Abu! Hejex. who was thrown Into
prison for sedition by his brother Mo
hammed, king of Grnnnda. There bo
remained for several years until tho
king, fearing ho might escape, placed
himself at the head of n fresh revolt
and seined the crown, ordering one of
his pasluis to see to Ills llu mediate exe
cution. Abul Hejex was phiylngnt chess
when the piislin came and bade him
prepare for death. The prince naked
for two hours' respite, wlilcli was re
fused. After earnest entreaty he ob
tained permission to finish his game.
He was In no hurry about the moves,
we arc told, und well for him he was
not, for before 1111 hour hnd elapsed a
messenger brought the news thnt Slo
hniuiued had been struck dead by apo
plexy, and Abul wns forthwith pro
claimed king of Granada. It was in
deed a small favor for the piislm to

OUR INSTINCT TO CHEW.
It Manlfaate Itarlf In !nnrons and
Carious War.
Peeing thnt the maxillary apparatus
of man has for long ages past been put
to vigorous use. It Is not surprising that
the need to exercise It should express
Ityelf ns 11 powerful Instinct. This In
stinct manifests Itself In mivsy and
curious ways. Inning the early mouths
of life tho natural function of feeding
nt the breast provides the Infant's
Jaws, tongue and Hps with nil the need
ful exercise. This bottle feeding falls
to do, nnd we frequently find bottle fed
children seeking to satisfy the natural
Instinct by sucking their thumbs, fin
gers or any convenient object nt hand.
The teclli are a provision for biting
hard foods, but even before they nctu
ally 11 p cii r we find the chll.i seeking
to exercise his toothless gums oh nny
linrd substance he can lay hold of, and
there can be no doubt that exercise of
tills kind tends to facilitate the erup
tion of the teeth, n truth Indeed recog
nized universally, whether by the prim
itive mother who strings the tooth of
some wild animal round tho neck of
her Infant ur the up to date parent
who provides her child with a bejewel
ed Ivory or coral bauble.
When the teeth have erupted, the
masticatory Instinct finds aiming primi
tive peoples abundant satisfaction In
the chewing of the conrse, hard fissls
which constitute their dietary; but
among us moderns, subsisting, ns we
do, mainly on soft foods, affording but
little exercise for the masticatory ap
paratus. It dis not find Its proper ex
pression, and thus tends to die out.
Nevertheless It dies a hard dentil and
long continues to assert Itself. Witness
the tendency of children to bite their
pencils and penholders. I have known
a child to gnaw through a bono pen
holder much In the same way as a
carnivorous 11 11 1 11 111 1 gnaws at n bone.
This Instinct to chew for chewlng's
sake iiiaiilfi-sts Itself all over the world.
In our own country not only do chil
dren bite pencils and penholders, but
they will chew small pieces of India
rubber for hours together. The prac
tice of gum chewing, so common among
our American cousins, evidently comes
down from furoff times, for the primi
tive Australians chew several kinds of
gum. attributing to them nutrient
qualities, nnd the Piitngonlans arc said
to keep their teeth white and clean by
chewing matrl, a gum which exudes

When tho Spaniards landed lu South

mirrors were mudo In Germany by a
