UNIQUE WEDDING OF MUTES.
Bride and Groom Speak Different
LtaguagM in Flnper Talk and Ar*
Acquainted Four Day*.
A wedding with unusual features
was held the other morning at the
residence of Justice N. A. Ladd, at
Madison, Wis., when Michael Wolf, of
Arcadia, Wis., and Miss Bessie Ander
■on, a pretty Madison girl, both
deaf mutes, were married. The
couple met for the first time
only four days ago and spent
the intervening time in courting, get
ting acquainted and devising a com
mon language, for the groom, being
a German, cannot understand writ
ten English nor the reading of the
lips, by which his more accomplished
bride receives communication from
friends. He uses “finger talk" entire
ly. None of the parents of either of
the principals is a deaf mute. Mr.
Wolf is a stone cutter, the son of
well-to-do parents, while his bride
lived at Madison with her mother and
„ stepfather. Owing to the language
difficulty, the questions and answers
of the wedding ceremony were re
duced to writing, a long, amusing
and pantomimic performance. They
were attended by Mr. and Mrs. Robert
Pedder, of Arcadia, also deaf mutes,
but who have a bright, talkative lit
tle son with them. It wus through
Mrs. Pedder that their union was
brought about. She was the girl
chum of the bride at a deaf mute
school. Recently she proposed mar
riage to her two friends. They found
the idea agreeable and she came on
and assisted in the detnils. The bride
and groom left for Arcadia, where
they wid live.

SCIENTIFIC BILL OF FARE.
—
! A Good, Wholesome Meal Need Cost
No More Than 22 Cents—
An Experiment.
To live luxuriously on GG cents
a day has been made easy by the
department of dom tic science at
Teachers’ college, Columbia uni
versity. Meals at 22 cents apiece
have been prepared, and, what is
more to the point, eaten with ap
parent relish by unbiased per
sons, says the New York Sun.
In addition, the chemical constit
uents in the food have been care
i fully weighed and measured, and
I it has been discovered that
j enough proteids, fats and carbo
| hydrates exist in the 22-cent meal
to support men working with the
customary expenditure of force.
At least, the text-books say that
i the quantities are all right.
The manner in which thediscov
; ery was made is somewhat as fol
lows: Dean Russell planned a
luncheon to some friends, and
thought it would be a clever idea
to have the meal prepared by the
department of domestic science.
The teachers laid out the plan of
battle and the students did the
cooking.
The luncheon was served to six
persons. The total cost of materi
als was $2.02, from which was de
ducted the value of the food not
actually consumed. This brought
the total cost down to $1.28 for the
six persons.
This was the menu:
Grapefruit ...$ .26
Baked haddock .58
Hollandalse sauce .10
Potatoes on the half shell.13
I Rolls .17
Butter . 08
I Pickles .01 I
I Tea .02
I Lettuce salad.16
Wafers . 01
Cheese .*.10
i Pineapple Sherbet.24
I Angel cake .13
Total . $2.02
The food value of the things con
Burned amounted to 0,491 calories, j
This made the average amount i
1 consumed 1,081.8 calories. Ac
! cording to the textbook prepared |
I bv Mrs. Ellen H. Richards, of the I
i j
! Boston Science school, only 956.3 J
| calories are necessary to sustain
men and women'working moder-j
ately hard. .
Miss M. B. Vail, insructor in do- |
mestic science at Teachers’ col- i
lege, who had charge of the lunch
eon, says that 22 cents would be a
fair average for all meals, so that
persons who pay more than
a year are aomg injustice
to themselves and their pockt
books.
THE BOASTER SUBSIDED.
Drummer Bragged of Getting a Big
Order, Then Was Cleverly Ex
posed by a Joker.
The habitues of a certain sub
urban hostelry had long been
weary of the boastful chatter of
an intermittent guest of the com
mercial fraternity, and it was
with rare satisfaction that they
fecently saw him annihilated, so j
to speak, says the New York
Times.
“Had a splendid day,” he opened
up as usual; “spent an hour in
old Simons’ store over in Rye and
j came out with a $2,000 order.”
He produced a notebook in sub
! stantiation, as ‘Old Simons’” atti- j
tude toward gentlemen of his ilk
j was well known, and the incredul- j
ity of his audience was not
masked. The notebook was hand
ed around for inspection and halt-!
ed with a gray-haired stranger j
over in the corner.
“Oh, yet—the entry’s all right
enough,” he said, mildly, “but— I
it’s very strange!”
“What’s strange?” demanded
the commercial man of might.
“Why, how it got there. I have
no recollection of giving any such
order, and if you will kindly tell
me which of my employes author
ized it you will be conferring a fa
vor upon me. You evidently don’t
recognize me as Mr. Simons, of the
Rye firm, but—”
But Jihe erstwhile boaster had
wilted out of sight. His quondam
victims roared with delight.
“I sav, that’s rich!” exclaimed
one of them; “it’s worth $50 to see
you take him down like that, Mr.
Simons!”
“I didn’t say I was Mr. Simons,1
sir,” returned the meek-looking
stranger; “in fact, I don’t know
the gentleman—any more than
the young man himself did!”
Wise Men and Fools.
As the wise man knows he is a
fool he is miserable; the fool irnag- ]

Bad blood shows itself in a thousand familiar ways.
Pimples, boils, muddy complexion, headache, backache and
a general tired-out feeling are among the more common
results of impure blood. Johnston’s Tonic Capsules purify
and enrich the blood.
Rheraatism, gout, eczema, catarrh, anemia, scurvy, scrofula, etc.,
result from impurities forced into the blood with food or drink, or from
the lack of certain necessary food substances.
Johnston’s Tonic Capsules are the surest, safest, most reliable, conven
ient and satisfactory medicine that can be taken to purify and enrich the blood.
They unload it of every impurity and at the same time so promote the nutritive
functions as to abundantly supply it with new, rich and self-sustaining
qualities. They make the blood pure and rich, and through pure blood the
bodily structures come right because they depend on the blood for nourish
ment and renewal.
For over 40 years Johnston’s Tonic Capsules have been held in high
esteem as a most reliable and satisfactory remedy for scrofula, rheumatism,
eczema, old sores, painful swellings, kernels and enlarged glands, catarrh,
scurvy, boils, liver complaint, dyspepsia, jaundice, constipation, kidney
troubles and a long list of common ails and ills.
We have great confidence in this medicine, a confidence born of many
years’ experience with it, and we make the following extraordinary offer:
Send us a dollar for a large box of Johnston’s Tonic Capsules, or buy the same
of dealer whose name appears below, use half of them, and if you are not
satisfied, mail the balance to us and we will return your money. Test them at
our risk and be your own judge. Michigan Drug Co., Detroit, Mich.

Time Tells
The Story.
There is a big difference be
tween the cost of making a first
class sewing machine, embodying
the best materials and workman
ship, and one which is made in the
cheapest manner. The buyer of
the cheap machine soon pays the
difference of price in the constant
cost for repairs, to say nothing of
its annoying inefficiency.
