Flr t Silver Wcddlnjr. According to a historian , this lg the way the Orst silver wedding came about. It was In the time of Iluguca \ Caput. Two of his most faithful serv ants , n man nud n woman , had grown < gray In his employ , now could ho re I ward them ? Calling the woman , he said : "Your service Is great , gruater than theman's , whose service Is great enough , for the woman always finds work harder than a man , and therefore I will give you n reward. At your ngo I know of none better thnn a dowry nnd n husband. The dowry Is here. This fnrm from this tlino forth belongs to you. If this man who has worked with you for five and twenty years Is willing to marry you , then the husband Is ready. " "Your majesty , " said the old peasant , "how Is it possible thnt we should mar ry , having already silver hairs ? " "Then it shall be a silver wedding. " And the king gave the couple silver enough to keep thorn Iu plenty. Such was the origin of the silver wedding , n custom which , spreading all through France , subsequently became known to the world. 1'olntn on n Lobster. A lobster la found in the water , but not nlwnys in fact , some of tlio most successful lobsters thnt ever lobstercd were born nnd raised on dry land. Ono cnn usually toll n lobster by Its actions. For Instance , If n young man enters a crowded drawing room nnd walks all over the foot of the assem bled guests without their consent or approval the young man at once be comes n lobster. The fathers of lobsters usually have money. In fact , It Is difficult to bo a real stand up and fall down lobster unless the lobster's father has money. It Is nn odd fact thnt many girls seem to admire lobsters. It would seem that a girl ought to know bettor , but she doesn't until she marries a lobster. Then she tumbles. Lobsters have no brains. If you don't believe it , split a lobster's head open with an as if you don't care any thing about the ax. This world would bo a much more desirable abiding place If there were no lobsters In It.
