Aerlnl Tramway fop the Transporta tion of Tea In the Inland of Ceylon. One of the most Interesting oerinl rope ways lias recently been con structed on the island of Ceylon, Hritish India, for the transportation of tea, this up-to-iinte system dis pensing with the services of hundreds of men and beasts which were for merely maintained and employed in carrying the tea over the miles of mountainous country. The tramway, w.hleh runs In almost. direct line, says the Philadelphia Ueeord, is three miles long; the road which was fol lowed by the flesh and blood carrier! was 0 much greater distance. This three miles of tramway passes over several ridges, one of which has a considerable elevation. The tea leaves, in bags, are placed in the great carriers, which are in the form of a banging cage, as the latter pass the driving terminal, by wire-rope transmissions from a turbine three quarters of a mile distant. The la bor required to work the entire line need not exceed six men. The tramway lias been In use for four months and has given the most satisfactory service The delivery of the tea is performed quite as reliably as heretofore and is done in much less time nnd much more cheaply.

A contemporary which is devoted to ihe discussion of hygienic subjects makes a somewhat alarming eupges- tion. It maintain that high straight backed chairs are responsible for a great many of the ills to which woman are prone. Neuralgia, backache, headaches, de pression, and mi on may be directly traced to troubles engendered inter nally by the postures we are compelled to continually assume on these cluiirs. The suggestion is put forth, there fore, that we should lie about on soft rugs on the no or, adapting these, aa fancy dictated, to our own ideas of comfort. 1 his eastern seraglio kind of ar rangement would give in our much- needed rest, as well as suppleness of form, we are assured, but how would it fit in with out fashions, our mode of entertuining, and our general house hold arrangements? The spectacle of the average matron flopping about w ith a number of smart ly-attired guests on the draw ing room floor docs not present itself to the minds eye in other than a grotesquely comical form. DIDN'T KNOW KING EDWARD. Sfcopk-eepera In Paris Would Not Ao eept KitK'Uith Coin llenjMns Ilia Face. A correspondent of the London Ex press in I'aris describes his experiences in trying to change a sovereign with the king's head on it for French mon ey. The first place was at a stall of a leading Parish bookseller. "It ib not good buid the woman be hind the Counter. 'Ves, it was tjie reply. "It is an English soereign and it worth 25 francs." "Ah, no; It medal." "No, no; good English money. "Hut I have not secu one like it, I am afraid." "Neer mind whether you have seen one like it. It is the head of Edward the new king, and the gold is good," "No, no. I want to see the queen'a head, and then I will take it." Finally the woman caid she would give 20 francs for it. Four other peo ple who were tried argued in a similar manner, and were a U of raid to take t he risk. The sovereign was eventually changed at a restaurant. AmenicTuua Grltinu- C'ontructa.

Humble Cottaicer In CaVfornlaTakea aa Idea from Ancl-eat Homa and la Quite Ha, PT- Ilaving discharged the family watchdog in disgrace, J. 0.

The average burglar who noars about Ifuebner's geese will doubtless be of the idea that one has only to say "Shoo, chicky," to send them scuttling. Any burglar whti knows about geese will know better. A big" gray gander isn't afraid of anything. These two will attack anything that comes in the front gate with the savageueas of a bulldog. And they are able to do about as much dam age. They take flying leaps at the intruder, beating him about the head with their whips nnd punching him In the face with their bills.

Bo.li Marnlaae Service bf IViepltnn-e There are more ways than one of get ting married, and taut is said without reference to the different cuutoms pre vailing in different countries. There are more ways than one of getting , married in this country, where the ap- 1 pearauce of bride and groom before a minister or justice with a marriage li-et-uae is Hcctpled hi the proper way. Accident lias stepped in to prevent some of the veitiih-ii in which the persons chiefly concerned have refused to be delayed by circumstances and the j marriage services have proceeded un der diiliculties and in strange forms, but still being marriage ceremonies. Of all these, one of the stiangestia that of Mr. and Mrs. Allen Bush. They were to meet in a city where the bride had friends end were to be married the following day. lloth carried out this part of the agreement, but two days before that set for the ceremony the bride was taken ill with diphtheria. The house of the friend with whom she was stopping was immediately quarantined and the bridegroom was refused entrance. That looked like a postponement of the wedding, but the bridegroom thought differently. He tet his wits to work and hit upon a plan. Two phonographs were secured. Bo were a marriage license and a minister. Two cylinders were used. In one the clergyman propounded the questions to the bridegroom and the man gave his answers. The other cylinder was left untouched. Iloth instruments then were taken to the bride's sick room by the nurse. They were placed on a table nnd the wedding began. One phonograph poke the clergyman's questions, gi- MARRIED BY TELEPHONE!. ing at the same time the bridegroom'a answers. When the clergyman addressed th bride, through the phonograph, she an swered into the cylinder of the unused one. When he asked questions of the bridegroom the answers were given at once through the phonograph. The minister and the bridegroom in reality were sitting below in the parlor of the house, probably smoking cigars and wondering how the ceremony wat progressing upstairs. Finally the nurse brought the two Instruments downstairs and they knew that the service was over. They knew that the. other' cylinder con tained the bride's answers and her final "yes." The clergyman shook hands with Mr. Bush nnd congratu lated him on being a married man. Any time Mr. and Mrs. Bush wish to hear the wedding service repeat ed all they have to do is to set two phonographs to going and the whole affair is gone over again. That is a useful institution to have in household on wedding anniversaries and the like. MIbs Agnes Charter waa a telephone girl. She was engaged to marry a Kansas man and the wedding was to take place in her home town of Denver. On the day set for the wed ding several of the telephone girls were taken suddenly ill, and Miss Charter was obliged to work. Charles Carver, the bridegroom, was a traveling man. Oft the morn ing of the day set for the wedding he was ordered to take a train for Omaha in three hours. It admitted of no delay. The two were confront ed with the necessity of finding some way of holding the service or of post poning it for a month. Miss Charter could not leave the office, but Carver thought of a plan. He placed the minister at a telephone and himself stood at the side. The minister- went through the essential portions of the service rapidly. Miss Charter gave her answers from her seat in the telephone exchange and be from his position beside the min ister. The minister, with the receiver in his ear, heard the answers of both bride and groom. The bridegroom had to-take the word of the minister for the fact that his wife had ac cepted him. The shor t-ervice over, the bride groom took the telephone, told his wife to tuke a train as soon as she could for Omaha, and then left the city. 6he joined him in two days. GrrmiBl Are EcoaomlpaJ.
