Music and Attendants—The Dress of
*omen and Men,
The wedding dance was being hold in
is long, narrow building near a fountain,
and we entered on a smooth earth floor;
seats were ranged about the sides of the
\whitewashed room, and the low raft-
ers were draped and testooned with fancy
wall paper, with gold scrollsQin it.
The music was furnished by a piano
organ at one end cf the long room, turn-
ed in rotation by a number of small boys
in their clean, blue blouses and brown
corduroy breeches, who felt their im-
portance, and at the other end of the
room a table was spread with cakes and
bread and a wine concoction very sweet
and pleasant, but seductive.
The women, some bringing their ba-
bies, were a pleasant set, but not beau-
tiful, although a few, with their large
dark eyes, came very near to it. They
did not wear the gay costumes of my
€maw nation, but their dresses showed
great care and conscientious patching. A
gay handkerchief was often folded round
the neck and across the breast and large
earrings and big breast -pins were the
vogue even among the young women.
The men wore broad. brimmed black
felt hats and clean blue blouses, cordur-
oy trousers, either light tan or brown,
and the long red or black sash belt called
tt "faja," wound many times abort the
waist, the folds serving. as pockets for
cigarettes, tobacco pouch and the vil-
lainous knife that every one carries.
The dances were "round," interspers-
ed with a square dance, where four peo-
ple comprised a set — a sort of fandango
with lots of stamping and attempts at
lithe, serpentine motions. with the hands
raised above the head. There was a veru
old man who danced with great gusto
and amused the crowd of young people,
who encouraged hitt: with clapping' of the
hands.—From Sehribner'e Ma'tazine.
Only One Wish Honored.
The latest arrival in Shadeland was very
eros?. "What is the hatter?" blew from
the lips of the shade floating near. "I see."
said the cross n.le, "that el cry rt'•sir•a I 'x -
pressed in regard to my funeral was ig-
nored." "That's nothing," replied the old
timer in Shadelt nd. 'The only s:tadcs whose
wishes are carried nut are th.• wom:n who
express the desire that their husbands marry
again.'

Party Machines Losing Power.
(Washington Post,)
'Fhe spirit of the twentieth century thus far
Itas been decidedly Inimical to the customary
methods of the party machine. Never before
since government by party became the rule
in this republic has the Independent voter
been so persistently, if not +pugnaciously, in-
dependent as he is showing himself to be
in these strenuous times. As things are, a
party leader is oomputted to do his leading
very adroitly, must disguise his handling
of patronage with artistic skill, acting the
roll of statesman while still carefully pro-
vidtng,for• his henchmen, and use patronage,
the cerin of politics, with consummate sagacity
if he would escape the odium that is at-
tached to the role of boss.

WRESTLER
ssays;—
"After my great wrestling match with
J. Mellor, of Staleybridge, at the Crystal
Palace, England, for the international
Championship, 1 was covered with cuts
and bruises. 1 applied my favorite balm,
Zam-Buk, and in a marvellously short
time the abrasions and cuts were healed,
and I was fit and well again. At another
time I had a piece of flesh almost torn
completely off my arm above the elbow.
1 anticipated being unable to do anything
with the arm for a long time ; to my
delight, however, Zam-Buk dosed ug
the. wound in two days. In three days
it was covered with new skin, and a few
days after there was no trace of the
injury. 1 recommend Zam-Buk for cuts,
bruises or skin injuries of any kind.

Shelter Tents in Favor.
There is a probability of the Austra-
lian military authorities encouraging
the manufacture or importation of shel-
ter tents, as used in Japan during the
late war. The tent consists of a water-
proof sheet with hooks and eyelets, the
u-eieht being trifling. Each Japanese
soldier carries one of these sheets in. his
kit, and any number of thein can be
laced together, the custom being for four
men to form a bivouac. Arms are piled
in the usual way, and the sheets are
spread over the piled weapons, affording
shelter from both heat and rain. They
can be utilized in many ways for shel-
tering• the soldiers.

The Summer Engagement.
The summer girl and the summer young
man met again.
"Darling!" he cried, advancing with open
arms, "do you recignize me?"
Throwing herself upon bis manly bosom,
she said: `Well, dear, your face looks fa-
miliar, but I can't recall your name."
And thus the summer engagement was
renewed for the season,

Heat of an Oven.
The man who first thought of placing
a thermometer in the oven door will
cause a revision of all cook books. Such'
phrases as "bake in a slow oven," "bake
in a quick oven," bake in a moderate
oven," will soon be obsolete, and our
favorite recipts for bread and cake will
be changed. to "bake in an oven of 200
degrees," or "bake in an oven of 235 de-
grees." Possibly there is not a house-
wife in all America who can tell you
to -day what is the temperature of a
"hot' oven or of a "moderate," "slow,"
"quick" or "brisk" oven. And perhaps
ther is not one who knows at what tem-
perature Fahrenheit or centigrade an
oven should be for cooking different
foods.
The figures I have used in the fore-
going paragraphs are merely for the sake
of illustration. As a matter of absolute
fact the temperature for baking meat
is about 300 degrees, and that for bak-
ing bread about 400. Layer cake re-
quires from 230 to 300 degrees. A "mo-
derate" oven is 220 degrees Fahrenheit.
Some cakes cook at 212 degrees, such as
angles' cake. It is said that if you plane
a pan of water in the oven it is impos-
sible to get the temperature higher than
212 degrees. I have no experience on that
subject. But all these details will be
easily earnt when the whole output of
stoves and ranges is supplied with ther-
mometers and all the cook books name
the desired degree of heat.—New York

ably have permanent historical interest
for America, The importance of the un-
dertaking eau be estimated by eonsid-
ering the present value ofvoice records

William Demosththe. Genes, ,Sreathakespeare or Emperor
,
The Emperor consented and the appar-
atus was set up in the palace. I asked for
four records.,.one for each of the institu-
tions mentioned and one for my own
scientific investigations. The Emperor,
however, made only two records, desig-
nating one for .Harvard University and
the other for the other purposes .The
two records were made by a phonograph
with specially selected recorders on wax
cylinders. Such cylinders are of no per-
manent value because they are often in-
jured by mould and sooner or later they
always crack, "'lag to 'changes in tem-
perature.
From each original "master record" a
metal matrix was made by coating it
with graphite and then galvanoplating
it. The wax master record was then re-
moved (beingdestroyed in the process),
leaving a mould from which "positives—
that is, copies of the original—could be
cast. Durable positives were cast in a
hard shellac composition and in .:ellaloid.
Some casts were also made in wax, and
new metal matrices were made from
these. In this manner the following ma-
terial was obtained: (1) A metal matrix
and positive of Record No. 1, deposited
in the National Museum at Washington;
(2) a similar Set of Record No. 1, de-
posited in the Congressional Library at U
Washington; (3) a similar set of Re-
cord No. 2. deposited in Barran].ni-
versity; (4) a complete set for both re-
' cords (a metal matrix and positive cf
each), which I presented to the Emper-
or; and (5) a reserve set of both, l'l ere
are the only records of the German Em-
peror's voice which exist at the present
time.

Danger of Railway Drawbridges.
(Philadelphia Record.)
Drawbridges add to the danger of railroad
travel wherever they exist. They compel the
trains to slow lip and the jar when the weight
of the train Is thrown upon the draw is felt
by every pars. r The failure of the draw-
bridge tender to do his whole duty in clos-
ing the draw means a wreak ,whenever the
human instrument falls short of the require-
ments. It 1s therefore desirable to abolish
the drawbridge wherever it is possible.

Taking a Husband's Name.
The custom which makes it proper for
the wife to assume the name of her hus-
band at marriage is involved in much
obscurity. A recent authority advances
the opinion that it originated from a
Roman custom and became common af-
ter the Roman occupation of England.
Thus Julia and Octavia, married to
Pompey and Cicero, were called by the
Romans Julia of Pompey and Octavia
of Cicero and in later times the mar-
ried women of most European countries
signed their names the same way, but
omitted the "of." In spite of this theory
it is a fact that as late as the sixteenth
and the beginning of the seventeenth
cientury a Catharine Parr signed her
name without change, though she had
ben twice married.

World's Supply of Iron.
It will surprise a great many people to learn
that we are likely to run short of iron in-
side of a single century if we keep up the
present rate of consumption. As a matter
of fact, we are more likely to increase the
consumption than we are to reduce it. The
world has only 10,000,000,000 tons of iron
ore available. Of these Germany bas twice
as many tons as the United States. Russia
and France each have 400,000,000 tons more
than this country. Our consumption is placed
at 35,000,000, which Is more than a third of
the world's total consumption.
