Famous Weddings and brides,

tho altar simply appareled. when Louis XIII.
married Anne OF Austria, her robe was of white
satin, and her hair was simply dressed, without
crown or wreath. Isabella of Portugal, as the
bride of the Duke of Burgundy, wore a dress Of
splendid embroidery, stomacher of ermlne,
tight sleeves, cloak bordered with ermIne falling
from her shoulders TO the ground; but she had
no ornaments, and her headdress was white
muslin. When Anne of France, finding the Arch.
duke Macmillan tardy In his wooing, gave her.

call him the champion of constitu-

great Tribunal. We could have said this
of any other Republican member of the
Commission had he been placed in Justice
BRADLEY's position. But as fate would
have It, Justice BRADLEY became the fifth
man, the observ ed of all observers, the
mighty settler Of the great political muddle,
and he has done his work with unflinching
courage in the face OF an avalanche OF
abuse from the opposition. He has been
the chief target for the spleen. shafts of the
violent, peppery headed Dem ocracy, but

nomore harm than puf.balls hurled against

THE LITTLE RE.fR.

The Little Bear Is a small but most interest
ing constellation. l do not think that the Little
Bear, like the larger one, was so named because
OF any magined resemblance to o bear. Tho
original constellation Of tho Great Bear was
much older than the Little Bear, and so many
din crent nations agreed In comparing the group
to bear, that there must have been q rosl re-
semblance to that animal IN the constellation as
frst figured. Later, when star.maps came to
be arranged by astronomers who had never
seen bears, they supposed the three bright
stars forming the handle OF tho Dipper 10
represent the tail of the bear though the bear is
stars for the bears tail, and the quadrangle OF
stars forming the dippcr for the bears body. II
was not formed BY fancifnl folks in the childhood
ofthe world but by astronomers. Yet 1t must
not be imagined that the constellation IS a mod.
ern one. 1t not only belongs to old Ptolemy's,
