Chlorine.

Chlorine, which in its liquid form the Germans are said to be using in their poison bombs, owes its 1 discovery as an element, as well as its name, to a British scientist, Humphrey Davy. It was in 1810 that he found the inysterious gas to be undecomposable into other elements. Should we decide to flatter the Germans by imitating them there would be no difficulty in finding the chlorine. The earth and the sea are full of it, in the form of salt. It would indeed be difficult not to find chlorine—in one or other of its combinations—whenever one tried, in earth, air or water; but it would be impossible to find it anywhere except in alliance with another element. Workmen who split up common salt —chlorine of sodium—ln order to get the chlorine grow fat In the proget the chlorine, grow fat in the procay.—London Chronicle.’

Cold-Blooded Marriage.

Kansas City, Mo., July 6.—A girl in town had a proposal of marriage and asked a week to consider it before filing her answer, testified T. A. Sawhill. She then organized herself into an investigating committee and commenced taking testimony from the married ladies of her acquaintance. The first one she visited used to be a belle and the most admired girl in the town before she was married six years ago,’ The cross-examination brought out the fact that she had three children, did all her own work, including her washing and ironing, and hadn’t been downtown for four weeks, and that her husband had given her but $2 since she was married, and that he had borrowed and forgot to pay back $lO which her brother once gave her for a Christmas present. He bought a new overcoat with the money, while she wore the same plush coast she wore when he was courting her. Another woman whom she visited quit teaching school three years ago to marry “the handsomest and bestdressed man in town,’’ and she ds now supporting him, A third didn’t dare say her soul was her own when her nusband was around, though she used to write some lovely essays when she was at school on “The Emancipation of Woman,” and the fourth woman she visited was divorced. After visiting them and summing tip the evidence she went home and wrote to the young man. She will be married to him next month.

year for entering upon matrimonial relations. The Romans held that June weddings were likely to be happier than alliances contracted in any other month of the year, especially if the day chosen were that of the full moon or the conjunction of the sun and moon. They also held that of all months May was to be most avoided, as in that month new-ly-weds would come under the influence of spirits adverse to happy households. These ancient marriage superstitions were retained by the Christians In the middle ages and even today June Is considered by many to be pre-emlnately the month of marriages.—New Orleans States.

Hats Off to the Flag.

“The greatest tribute 1 ever saw paid to the stars and stripes,” says Col. Bradley, past commander of the Massachusetts Grand Army, “was not on American soil. When the ancient and honorable artillery landed at Liverpool on its visit to England in 1896, the line of march "was crowded witli over 106,000 persons. When we unfolded ‘Old Glory’ we were struck with surprise at the cheers which went up from those English people. As we marched along, every man from the Prince of Wales .to the lowest bootblack took off his that while the stars and stripes passed. I would like to see that happen once in Boston or New York before I die.”—Boston Record. Call at The Democrat office and get one of the new style pencil holders with the perpetual calendar.
