An l-M(M-triral Wedding.
The bride was Miss Jeanette Hies
(now Mrs. Lewis S. (ireeiisfelden), and
the nuptial novelty was due to the en
thusiasm of her brother, the electrician
and inventor.
Electrician Hies was master of cere
monies. The marriage was at the
house of the bride's mother, Mrs. K. K.
Ries, and, of course, there was no un
seemly spectacular interruption of the
solemn knot tying.
But no sooner had the company been
comfortably seated at the banquet
table than the mom burst into a Hood
of light from numerous vari colored in
candescent electric lamps hidden among
the decorations and suspended at vari
ous points above the heavily laden
tables. The entrance of the bride and
groom was welcomed by the automatic
ringing of electric bells and the playing
of electrical musical instruments.
After the first course had Ix'cn served
the room was plunged into semi-darkness,
when suddenly from among the
floral decorations upon the table there
glowed tiny electric lamps, lending an
exquisite charm and attraction to the
scene. Xot only the flowers, but the
interior of the translucent vases in
which some of them were gathered
scintillated with flashes of liulit. After
a while a miniature electric lamp, w liicli
in some unexplained manner had a'
taehed itself to the bride's hair, was
seen to glow with dazzling brightness.
Mr. E. E. Hies gave a toast to the
couple, wishing long life and an enjoy
ment of good things like those spread
before them, lie concluded with an
injunction to be temperate in all things,
at the same time touching an electric
button, when two serpents slowly un
coiled themselves ami issued from the
wine bottle thatstood before the bridal
couple.
Cigars and eolTee were served, and
the cigars were lighted by an electric
heater, while the coffee was boiled in
full view of the company by an electric
lighter. The speeches that were made
were liberally applauded by an electric
kettle drum placed under the table. It
treated all with impartiality. As the
company dispersed the electric current
set off a novel pyrotechnic display,
amid the crimson glare of which the
festivities ended. lialthnore Sun.

Even tin extremely aggressive enemy
can be easily conquered by strategy; it
' is only a question of employing the
stratagem exactly fitted to the case.
An open air preacher of East London
understood this very well, and his
stratagem fitted to a charm, lie was
addressing a crowd, when a soldier who
had been drinking came up and loudly
ridiculed the service.
Finding that it was useless to ignore
the man, the preacher said, "Ah, my
friend, you're no soldier; you've only
borrowed those gay, red clothes: No
servant of the queen would get drunk
and interrupt a peaceful service."
The man wnrmly protested that he
was a soldier, and invited the preacher
to test him.
"Very well," was the reply. "I will.
Now then, 'Stand utease!'"
This the soldier did as wo! ;w ;tg
condition allowed. "Rightabout face!"
This order was also obeyed, though
with some trouble.
"Now, quick march .'" arid off went
the valiant soldier, marching down the
Mile-end road at a vigorous pace, while
the preacher resumed his discourse.
