At some ef the Mexican marriages a eilver cortl with two loops is fastened around. the neck of the bride and groom, and the groom gives the bride money as it sign that she is to have hoe hand in the family pocketbook.

Fig,nros About Waists. Dr. J. C. Kellogg. Battle Crook, Mich. spoke at the Washington high school to the girls of the school during his visit recenhly. He opened his remarks by announcing that he WU going to say some very unpleasant, things about young ladies. Notwithstaud. ing their godelooking bow, he said, most of them am crippled and deformed. The clootor has devoted fifteen years to the study of the lannan figura.

The doctoe said that those organs which should be above the waist line are so pressed down by tight clothing as to make women deformed, Ho °idled perticnar atteetion to the fact that although 0. woman doubled in weight, the ineasmiemout, of her weist didn't increese at. all.

The Town of Trues. The number of pilgrims who will visit Troves will mount to the hundreds of thou- sands. The preparations made for the re- ception of vlsitors are something startling. The railroad authorities have had throe new tempotary statione erected, with spacious waiting and refreshment rooms, The local tramway companies have laid down two 1101V sets of rails. As many as 1,300 citizens have petitioned the Town Counoil for licenses to set 1193 temporary beer saloons and public houses for the eccommodation of the pilgrims during the period of the exhi- bition of the sacred garment. Special ar- rangements have been made to take tour- ists from England to Troves, and many pil- grims have gone across the Atlentiethither. As in the year 1844, the exhibition may be expected to induce avast amount of contro- versial litera.,ure, touching the authenticity of the sacred relic. In that year the dis- turbances mused by the exhibition became so serious ita to assume a political hue and brought about the interference of the Prussian Government. Even /1011, the op - peewits of the authenticity havebeen heard. The first was a sub-eclitor of a Silesian news- paper, who WM condemned to fourteen days' unpritsonment on account of some dis- respectful remark he had published in refer- ence to the holy garment.
