Time Wae When He Used to Assist In Abducting the Bride. Do you know why the bridegroom’s attendant at the wedding is_called “best man” and how he happetis to. be such an important factor at a society wedding? He is supposed to look after the ushers, the carriage, the wedding ring and a host of other things that the fortunate lover could not be ex- pected to concern himself with at such a time. But there was a period in the history of the human family when the best man had other duties than these to perform. It was when there was no church ceremony and when primitive people had come to the conclusion that marriage within the tribe was not good for the race. Then it became the fash- ion for the young man of marriageable age to go forth in quest of a bride, the daughter of some neighboring tribe. Perhaps the girls were not entirely unwilling to be captured, but no girl, either ancient or modern, would admit for a moment that she had wandered away from the protection of her male relatives for the actual purpose of be- ing abducted. Even if there was no brother at hand the girl was likely to put up a game fight, and the prospec- tive bridegroom had need of the assist- ance of a strong muscled friend to aid him in subduing her. There was very little to the ceremony once the girl had been taken to the home cf her future lord, but the “best man” was always a honored guest in her home, especially if the marriage turned out well. In many mountainous parts of the clivi- lized world where old customs obtain the “best man” still pretends to assist in abducting the bride.—St. Louis Globe-Democrat. EATING TO LIVE. Rules by Which Good Health May Be Gained and Retained. Herewith 1 give a few general sug- gestions for those who desire health, writes Edward B. Warman, A. M., in the Nautilus: No one can have health who eats too much. No one can have health who eats too often. No one can have health who eats too many kinds of food at the same meal. No one can have health who eats when tired, hurried, worrfed, anxious or excited. No one can have health who rises late, gulps down a hearty breakfast and then sprints for the car. When you have eaten do not wonder if it will agree with you. When you be- gin to wonder trouble begins. Say goodby to it, not expecting to hear from it again. If you fear it do not eat it; if you eat it do not fear it. Be cheerful at your meals. A sour countenance will give you a sour stom- ach, Praise your wife’s cooking—if you can conscientiously. If you go home with a grouch leave it out of doors, where the dog will get it—then shoot the dog. The majority of people do not know how to live until they are ready to die, and then they are not ready to die be- cause they have not . rightly lived. Genesis of the Playhouse. Thespis in 536 B. C. acted his plays in a wagon. In 499 B. C, during the time of Aeschylus, creator of drama, the performances took place upon tem- porary wooden scaffolds, one of which, having collapsed during a representa- tion, the Athenians were induced to build the great theater of Dionysius, calling it the Lenalon, which was the first permanent stone structure of its kind. It required 160 years to erect it. There was no scenery, but the scene was decorated so as to represent the locality in which the action was going on. Roofless was his structure, but around the building were porticoes, to which the people retreated during rain- storms. Sometimes awnings were used to ward off the sun’s heat. Card Playing. Card playing began in India in the ninth century. It was introduced into Europe by orientals some time prior to the thirteenth century. Saracens popularized the amusement in Spain and Italy. The taste for the game afterward spread to Germany, where it commenced to be indulged in about 1275. Its appearance in France was mentioned in the records of that coun- try in 1393. Heraldic cards were first known in England in 1660. Genuinely. Dry.
