Every now and thou one hears of largo fees laid to olorgymen by rejoicing bride. grooms. One does not so often hear of the tmpositioos sometimes put upon those who tie the metrimenial knot and who saner under the social custom which forbids a minister to perform the service of marrying lovers at a fixed rate stipulated for by con. tract, But love and marriage do not change the nature of men, and there aro mean—very mean—bridegrooms who do not hesitate to trick and cheat the good pastors who bind them in the ties of matrimony. There is a minister in Brooklyn who told the writer a harrowing; talo of cleseption of which he was the victim. After he had performed the marriage ceremony for a young couple at the parsonage, the bride. groom slipped a fat envelope between the leaves of the family Bible, nodding pleasant. ly as if to say ; " Yoe'vo well earned it," The clergymen nodded thaukfully. " Whom I opened that envelope." he said, What do you suppose I found in it ?" " A goodly sum in outs 1" " No, sir ! No, sir ! Twenty sheets of tope. paper 5011 as reporters nee. And on the last sheet was written : ' Economy is Wealth, Please don't squander this. Wipe .your razor on it.' " "I think," said the dominie, "that minis- ters should be empowered to declare some marriages void." Dr. Howard, whom everybody in Flat - bush, L. I., will remember, had a similar experience. He was routed outat midnight to marry a couple and was dampened to arouse his family to act as witnesses. Ho Was given a fat pack -age by the bridegroom Upon the letter's departure. The good doc- tor speht half an hour or so unwinding pm bier after paper froaf that package .only to Ind at last a silver quarter which had been Used nee sleeve -button. One face had been ground smooth and ornamented with a mon- ogram. Dom'nie Johnson, whom old Brooklynites will recollect, was ' ` taken in " once in much the sane way. A wonld-be benediet wrote to hint to engage hos services in tying tho matrimonial knot, and hinted that he was saving a roll of $5 gohl pieces with which to fee the doctor. • "An evening or two later," said the cler- gymen, in telling the story, "lee honored me with a call. He was taocohnpanied by one of the prettiest little women I ever saw, I ;performed the ceremony, and he insisted upon my kissing the bride. He made an officious display of a long thin roll well wrapped up in tin foil, and as I bowers hint out he slid it slyly into my side pocket. When 1 returners to my library I examined the roll and found---," " What 1" "A clothespin surrounded with teupenny Mails '. Amnouth or two afterwards he wrote to me from St. Louis saying that he had charged me the wedding feu 1 was to have received for kissing his bride," "There is a halter awaiting that knave," concluded the clergymen warmly, "pond I never read eta hanging that I do not, won. t er if he isn't the victim traveling to glory under an alias." A clergymen who once held a °Borg° sea• Wyandotte, des., was given a horse and car- riage bye, c'mple whom he had Just married. They had driven to his parsonage from 'Wichita and they left by train. Soon after• w ards the parson drove his new horse to Wichita. ` I didn't get bask for n week," said the clergyman, shaking his head dolefully. "The man not only stole the woman, but the horse and waggon from her husband, and the rig was recognized and I was clapp- ed into jail on a charge of horse -stealing, Of course everything was finally straightened out, but somehow nr other 1 could never make up my mind to forgive that man," The " Girls'" Side of the Question. 11rs, Iielen Campbell bee collected a largo mmnher of testimonials from working girls in seeking for reasons why young women prefer shops to domestic service, and finds these counts against mistresses: I. That mistresses do not knew what a clay's work means, and will seldom, if eget, guarantee any payment for over -tithe, or I• give any portion of the day absolutely from to the worker, especially le the position of child's nurse, 3• That acomfortably warm and decently furnished room with operate bode, if two nest occupy it, is almost unknown, and decent appointments for mottle equally so. 3. That even when the servant is willing to take less wages, the nlst'ees fs seldom willing to bane the heaviest work arrangers ; this meaniee carrying coal up many flights of stairs, eerubbing pavenrente, washing, etc. 4, That often a livery is required, thus setting the servant apart, and forcing her to take a social position wbioh most regard as degrading. 5.

'The Boston J'our'nal gjJfeaihh states very strongly that eon teary 10 thepcpnhtr notion, the free use of good ripe frust 311 summer does not tend to give rise to bowel trouble. Ib really tombs to prevent it, Fruits, when rightly indulged, are easy of digestion ; they promote the health of the organs' which die- poso of them, and keep the hntosthual canal free and open, Of course unripe or "puffed fruits are a menace, and liable to excite summer complaint; lint, beyond adnnht, this is far the most often caused by milk and moats that have undergone poisonous changes. The fact is universally recognized that flesh of all kinds dc0om poses very rapidly on keeping in hot weather. It cannot be es Well known that the samekl i im c is of food also decompose more gmekly within the hotly during that 50asen than they do in cold weather. The poison whboh results from rh000lmposltion acts powerfully, bulk as en merle au3 a purgative ; in a word, it eathae5 severe cholera morbus. l'ot'tunately, the liver is able to dootroy some of this poison, There is, however, a limit to such a power ; and if ton emelt enters or Is gen- erated with the system, the livor cannot turn it all book, but Ionto passes Into the general circulation, where it does serious mischief. To forego meat:" entirely, and live upon fruits, vegetal:les, and farinaceous foods, is infinitely the wisest and safest plan to follow during the hot season, To Be Beautiful is Woman's Duty. I have small sympathy with aly woman who manifests a stolid indifierence to her own dress, and for the sake of being eousid• ere, "lovably"end " eccentric "elbows her- self to appear in public in a slatternly and unbecoming dress. It is a duty overt' wo- man owes the Lord who made her anal the beautiful world she lives in to make the most of herself, both physieaiy, mentally and otherwise. If God had not loved boanty he would not have sown it so broad -cast and lavished it so bounteously upon 51010501 sloes, tulip beds and an leaves, But there are other alms in life besides the purpose to be beautiful and well dressed. The woman who thinks of nothing else is stupid and tiresome, And if ono is too poor to gratify the liking for pretty clothes itis infinitely more to one's credit that one goes unbecomingly gowned and. shabby as to foot• wear, etc., than if one ran into debt to keep up appearances, or defrauded another to make her gains. Do not judge always by appearances, then; it is an unsafe thing to do in a world whore every face is colored by a ciroumstamoe, like the water iu thejar behind slimeliglitsd apoth• wary window. TERRIBLE TALE OP THE SEA. Wee eked sailers Pivoted 1-p by the('. el.en,na'r " 1Jn Powe er,lalan." Private Melees received in Belfast from Hong Kong state that the steamer Empress of Japan, which arrived there on J1tly 126, brought 12 survivors of the week of a Chin- ese junk who told a thrilling title of ship wreck and suffering. While on a voyage from Vancouver the ofieet• on the bridge descried an object floating on the water close to the horizon. On approaching near. er it was found to be a raft on which a shirt bad been hoisted as a signal of distress, and which bore the inanimate bodies of twelve Chinamen.

The men's tongues had been swollen to a painful degree in consequence of the intol- erable thirst experienced, tend in some in- stances protruded from their mouths ; and in addition their feet, bands, and faces were fearfully blistered by exposure to the sun's rays. Towards the end of a week they had partially recovered under the ship's doctor, and from their story it appears that their junk, which carried a Drew of 26 men, had left Swatow a fortnight previous. On the fleet night out they were caught un a typ- hoon, and the junk was upset. Those who succeeded in remaining above the serfaes cotst'ucted the raft from floating debris, and to this they clung for three days and three nights without food or drink, The Victoria Cross, The question has Leen asked—apropos of the honor conferred on Major Grant of Timbal fame—how many officers are entitled to wear the Victoria cross? I am able to answer the question. The more statement of number reveals at once the exclusive °harae- ter of this reward for valor. No less, how- ever, than 39 general ol8ros are entitled to wea0 11-011 indication of the fact that pro. motion to exalted military rank in England has in a great many eases been the reward of (heroic merit. Thirty colonels and lieet- snant-colonels are entitled to wear the de. aeration ; 29 majors, 11 captains, 8 lieuten- ants and 5 quartermasters possess the same privilege, Fifty-nine of the medals, how- ever, are held by nom commissioned officers and privates, tbirtyfour being in the posses- sion of privates, five of lance corporals, three of corporals, seven of sergeants, six of color -sergeants, two of quartermaster sergeants, and two of sergeant•nhajors. One clergyman possesses the medal, and the act which won the honor for the Rev. J. W.

Seizure in Behring Sea, O'reewe, Oct,—Admiral Hotbam, 311 com- mand of the Britielt Nerthl Paeillosquadron, has requested the Collector of Customs to make me investigation into the facts coiuleat- e I with the 0500114 seizure of the Canadian sealer Otto in Behring Sea by the United ltame man-of-war Mohican. The Otto woos towed to Ounalaska and thence sent to Victoria. Admiral Hallam considers that as the seizure was not made on account of any breach of the compact made between Orme Britain and the United States for the protection of the Behring Sea seal tishories, 0t was a violation of the International law, The reason given by the of tier in command of the Mohican was that the Otto's papers were irregular.

It will do the parent no h00m to practice the lesson occasionally himself, In this manner one can save more teeth, using no instruments but the brush toed pick (and, by the way, one should use noth- ing but t4 quill tooth pick) and silk thread, than all the dentists can by performing their usual dental operations.
