The Dank Could Stand It
A western lawyer tells of a remark
able instance of the convincing powei
of feminine logic as evidenced by an
occurrence which he once witnessed
while standing on the edge of a crowd
that was besieging the doors of a buufc

An shure Roger retorted Mary

A Furse For the Bride
Some brides may be inclined to re
gret that the old marriage custom ol
the dow purse has fallen into disuse
It was the custom of the bridegnon
to fill a purse with a goodly sum ol
money and present it to the bride oc
the wedding day as the price of th
purchase of her person It sounds lik
slavery like the buying of goods and
chattels yet the bride had a nice lit
tie sum of money for her own use
Some of the oldest inhabitants oi
Cumberland may remember a similai
custom In that county The bride
grcom provided himself with a num
ber of gold aud silver pieces and
the words with all my worldly goods
I thee endow he handed the clergy
man Ills fee and poured the othei
coins into a handkerchief hold out foi
that purpose by the bride In othei
places again the bride had the right
to aSk her husband for a gift of money
or property on the day after the wed
ding and he was bound in honor t
grant the request London Answers
Sixty Kinds of Bananas
To most persons in the temperate
zones a banana is a banana But tin
truth is- that there are over sixtj
known varieties of the fruit with as
great or greater variation in charactei
as in the different kinds of apples
Hawaii is said to have something ovei
forty distinct varieties of the fruit
most of which have been introduced
by the whites Some of these are ol
extremely delicate and delicious flavor
while other kinds are used if at all
only when cooked in various ways
There is scarcely a city house lot ol
