The bride and groom ride to the church In a closed carriage, With a footman and a driver In white trousers and correct English livery. The horses have docked tails and heavy white leather collars, besides .white cockades streaming from their bridles. The real picture, however, Is said to be Inside the carriage, which Is completely lined with satin in a sort of tufted effect The contracting parties sit beside each other. The bride wears conventional white and the groom evenlog clothes. Directly opposite them is a small child dressed in white velvet with the ring pillow on his lap. The wedding ceremony contains many picturesque symbols. The climax of the affair comes when the bride and groom are bound together with a heavy string. Immediately after the ceremony the whole party goes to the photographer's.-- Pathfinder Magazine. Every Fifteen Year» to Honor Deity On the great hill of Sravanbelgola, ill Mysore state, southern India, stands a colossal image over 00 feet high ' of the god Komateswara. Every 15 years a great festival is held in honor of the deity, and hundreds of thousands of Jains come from all parts of India to participate In It. One of the principal events of the feetival is the ceremonial anointing of the image with ghee, milk, sandalwood oil and other liquids. A huge scaffolding Is erected around the figure to render it accessible, and the right to anoint It put up at auction--a curious feature of a religious festival. The figi^re of the god Is a huge monolith-- probably the largest In the world, it was hewn out of solid rock at least a thousand years ago and la In a wonderful state of preservation.-- Wide World Magazine. Victim Turned Lore While In the Hawaiian islands Mark Twain was assaulted unmerctfully by mosquitoes. Attempting to j fool them, he had a fine netting put all around his bed. In spite of this precaution, however, the pests managed to find their way Inside and nearly tormented the life out of him. After careful Investigation the victim decided that after they once got inside of the netting the mosquitoes were unable to find their way out Consequently, every evening Mark would crswl Inside the netting, wait patiently as s lure until he figured that all of the pests were Inside, then lift the covering csutlously and sneak outside to spend the night on the floor. Moreover, be always declared that be was never afterwards bothered. Pat Beat the Lnl ®>e story of dogs is closely connected with the story of man. For ln- - stance, there Is the legend that relates how lap dogs came to Ireland. { In the beginning Britain seems to have had a monopoly on tiny and It was forbidden to give or --ii a tiny dog to an Irishman. Then parliament passed a law which decreed that a criminal should be given to the man he had wronged. So a clever Irishman, as the slo^y goes, succeeded In getting a tinv lan dog to bite him. The ruse succeeded, and the dog was taken to Ireland, where all the kings fought among themselves for the possession of her, until she brought peace fey producing a large litter of puppies.

With the coming of antisepsis and later of asepsis, following the work of Lister and Pasteur, the mortality which resulted from surgery was greatly reduced through the elimination of bacterial Infection following operation. With the development of anesthesia, beginning with the work of Morton and Long on ether, and following with chloroform, nitrous oxld-oxygen gas, stovain and Intraspinal anesthesia, the use of narcotics preliminary to operation to reduce the patient's sensibility and, more recently, the development of another gas anesthetic, ethylene, physicians have been able to work more slowly, more carefully and more accurately, extending surgical procedures to organs heretofore unapproachable by the surgeon's knife, thereby saving many lives In conditions previously called Inoperable. Moreover, continued study of nerve routes and nerve paths, with the development of anesthetic substances which may be applied directly to nerves, permits effectively blocking the sense of pain which may proceed along the nerves to the brain. So-called local anesthesia with such drugs as procaln and butyn enables surgeons to operate«j A than made a bet with his wif%-- wMch was indiscreet. The wife won--which was fore-ordained. The man wrote the wife a check I for five dollars in payment of the [ beit--which was sad. i The wile cached the check at the 1 grocery, but forgot to endorse it-- which was natural. The grocer, despite the lack of endorsement, paid it to a packing house collector--which was careless. The packing house collector turned it in--which was all in a day's work. The packing house office man discovered the lack of endorsement-- which was good work. He handed it back to the driver and docked the driver's salary--which was system. The driver placed the check in his white duck coat and sent it to the laundry--which was unwise. The laundry mutilated the check beyond recognition--which was expected. Which is why the driver asked the cashier to ask the grocer to ask the man's wife to ask her husband to write a duplicate check. Which is why the man feels like he is paying that bet twice.

The women, who had been parties to our conversation In Its beginning, It seems, had switched to the subject of their own names snd those of their families, while we were still talking dogs, and when there came a moment of silence between Mr. B and me I heard the end of Mrs. B 's remark about "Fanny." Wishing to show my Interest and having noted a rather disgusted inflection In my hostess' voice, I said sympathetically, "Fanny, good Lord, who's dog's that?" I never have been more embarrassed in my life than when, after an awkward pause, my wife said: "Mrs. B 's name is Fanny."--Chicago Tribune. Faithful bat Fractious Some of these young women treat love as though It was a naughty boy who should be made to stand In a corner except as a great treat once In six weeks. ... Women can be very tiresome. Wives can be intolerable. England and America are strewn with good men suffering from their wives' virtues. It Is damnable. When a woman is faithful to her husband she generally manages to take it out of him in some other way. The mere fact that she is faithful makes her think that she has a right to be --well, disagreeable. Fidelity can cause the devil of a lot of trouble In the home unless It Is well managed. Fidelity needs Just as much good management as infidelity.--From "May Fair," by Michael Arlen. The Shorthorn and the Chester White would keep a fellow up at night, the Angus and the Galloway will fatten well on corn and hay. The Clydesdale and the -Belgian can pull most any tiuck or van, the Perchon and Hereford will help the farm to pay its board; In fact, this show of classy stock that's bred up for the farm or block will make a feller's farm a prison until he's got such stock for his'n. My neighbor missed the best of all, he didn't see no show at all, while he lookin' at a pig I watched the chorus ladies' jig, I cheered until I shook the roof, they sure can shake a wicked hoof. While neighbor watched Galloways I went to two or three good plays, he'd stand around and cheer and shout when they had picked the winner out, but in the Follies where I be they all :ooked pretty good to me At stock shows neighbor gets a thrill while I get mine in vaudeville! The absent -minded professor had left his berth in the sleeper to get a drink of water. Then he realized he had forgotten *vhere his berth was and began wander- • ing up and down the aisle trying to find it. "Don't you remember the number of your berth?" asked ithe conductor. "I'm afraid I don't," sheepishly admitted the professor. "Haven't you any idea where it was?--can't you remember some litt'e thing that would help you locate it?" "Why--er--oh, yes, to be sure!" and the professor brightened visibly.

Is to avoid getting "walloped by adversity." He says-- "Who spends his Income as it comes and saves no systematic sums may some day find himself In dutch and need his money very much. "If you would prosper and progress and crown your future with success, adopt some systematic plan of banking all the caiih you can.

Secret of Sce«ft Scent Is still In many respects an unsolved mystery. We know that almost every object gives out tiny particles which produce the sensation of Scent. But the size of these particles Is minute beyond belief, for a grain ©f musk will scent a drawer for a generation without losing any weight Again, why is it that on one day a fox leaves a scent which hounds can follow at full speed, while on the next there Is so little that the pack Is ut terly at loss? Scent does not depend upon the weather--that much we know.

The "Scotch shield contained the lion rampant (standing on its hind legs) on a field of gold. Old Egyptian Delia Judging by findings amongst the wrappings of mummified Infants, the favorite toys In ancient Egypt were dolls. Some have a grotesque eppear ance, but a common kind of doll consisted of a flat board--like a large, bowlless spoon--the round part paiift ed or carved to represent a face. Legs were usually absent. Others are so small that they can be strung like big beads, on threads that make a mop of hairier the doll's head. , t * (Manafinp Editor, Tha Amerieem \ 5 Golfer; j In a qualifying round a play$r putts Kit ball to within a foot of tkt cup, then with one hand taps it carelessly, thinking to hole it, but the ball misses the cup. The player loses his temper and lenoclcs the ball thirty or forty yards off the green into high grass and weeds.

Was he entitled to do this or not, under a penalty of two strokest Although It was never Intended to cover stfrhscsses, the present rule on a ball in ah unplayable lie permits the player to replace the ball and hole out, adding two strokes to his actual score for what he did, provided he chose to call the ball unplayable as he found It In the grass and weeds. In other words, any time that a player deems his ball unplayable, he Is entitled to lift it and play again from the plsce where the previous stroke was played, counting the previous stroke and adding one penalty stroke. Knocking the ball sway counts as a stroke, and then the player mast add a penalty for lifting and playing Again from where the ball lay near the hole.

Announcing that he Intends to do ell within his power to make the highways of Illinois safe for automobile drivers, Secretary of State Louis L. Rmmerson today Instructed the automobile lnv«stigatorg working under him to exert themselves to the utmost In enforcing all automobile laws. "Automobile fatalities in the United States last year totaled 22,GOO," Secretary Eminerson said. "This is approximately 2,200 more than Were killed by automobiles In 1924. "In Illinois according to reports compiled by the health department, 1,548 deaths resulted from automobile accidents, an increase of 28 per cent over the previous yesr. Due to lsck of an adequate system for reporting automobile accidents in Illinois, It Is Impossible to say how many persons were Injured and whether or not the number of fatalities given is the actual number of persons killed. More Cars; Mors Danger. "Although the number of sccldents by automobiles Is decreasing somewhat, the increase in the number of automobiles in operation results In a steady Increase In the total number of fatalities. It is evident that unless something Is done towsrd curbing recklessness and making highways safer the annual death toll will continue to grow from year to year. "In this state we have a million and a quarter automobiles. There is one for every B.5 persons. "But while this state ranks fourth In total number of automobiles. It ranks twenty-second in per capita ownership. It is reasonsble to presume that In this wealthy state, as our good roads increase in mileage, we shall eventually reach the ratio of some of the other states which hsve one car for every three or four persons. That will mean another million motor vehlclee on the highways of the state at some future date. "Evidently, therefore, the problem of safety on the highways must continue to become more acute in Illinois. To reduce accidents and save lives we must do more than merely discuss the problem. Lsws Must Be Enforced. "Enforcement of the law Is absolutely essentlsl. This state ranks smong the best In the country, so far as motor vehicle legislation Is concerned. There Is enough law if It were properly observed. Our problem Is to secure more general observance. "8trlct enforcement by local authorities would be most beneficial, but we must also arouse the interest of sutomoblle drivers to their responsibility. "The greet majority of automobile drivers sre law-abiding and operate their cars safely, showing the proper degree of courtesy to other drivers. The smsll percentage of reckless drivers who csre nothing for the ssfety of others should be made to feel the weight of the hand of the law. "The limited number of Investigators working out of my ofllce have been Instructed to co-operate with local officials and make every possible effort to secure better observance of the laws of the road. Experlenoe Best Teacher. . "We need some adequate system 6t securing reports of accidents after they have occurred. Only through experience can we hope to build up the probable prevention and unlees we know the causes of accidents and all of the facts relative to them and compile this information where It will be available we cannot properly plan legislation and enforcement or sufficiently drive home to automoblllsts the need of co-operation. "I hope that we shall be able to work out something along this line In time for the next General Assembly." Good Manners in, Motoring One should show hfS breedlng when he Is driving a car as well as when he Is In the drawing £oom. The boorish driver Is not truly a gentleman. Robbins B. Stoeckel, commissioner of motor vehicles of the state of Connecticut has prepared a code of ethics or good manners for motorists. Among other things he points out thst drivers should avoid driving through water or mud In such a way as to splash It on to pedestrians; should give proper warning to pedestrians and others using the streets or highways; should not use the horn to signal persons Inside of a house, thus disturbing the whole neighborhood; should manipulate headlights properly; should remain In the proper place when halted by a traffic officer. Instead of crowding out among the pedestrians; should not try to "hog" the middle of the road; should at all times show consideration for and due courtesy toward others on the road. The Golden Rule for automobile drivers Is: "Drive as you would hsve others drive." Mrs. M. L. Welter and family and Mrs. Abe Lawrence spent Sunday morning at McHenry.
