Marrying i'm ths english stxIe

they are beginning to marry here now
IN the English STYLE" says the New
York World. A niece of ex-Secretary
Hamilton Fish was married recently to a
nr Roosevelt in the st. Johns Episcopal
church, Elizabeth, N. J.. The ceremony
was modelled after the English fashion
entirely. The bride entered the
church at noon, leaning ON her
fathers arm. She wore a ffty-
thousand-dollar necklace, the gift of the
groom. Her hands were ungloved. and
she carried tho family prayer-book. She
was met at the altar by the groom. The
alsies of the church were strewn with
autumn leaves. After the ceremony was
performed tie couple knelt and Bishop
futile, Of Utah, pronounced a blessing
upon them. This is understood to be the
correct thirg in marriages now.

The popular notion that the remains of
Byron were refused resting-place in
Westminster Abbey requires some quail

the appendix to Lord Broughton's Tour
in Albania" The body was brought to
London in July, 1924, and rumor prevail
ed at the time that a formal application
had been made by his executors to the
dean and chapter of Westminster for
permission to bury him in Poets Corner.
But no such formal application was
made. An inquiry was indeed made of
DIR. Ireland Dean of Westminster, with
out instructions from the executors,
whether the permission, if asked for
would be granted, and an answer was
given in the negative. Byron was accor-
dinghy buried at Hacnall Church near
Newstead Abbey. Ten years later DIR.
Ireland refused to allow the statue of the
poet by Thorwaldsen a place in the abbey.
II do indeed, he said, greatly wish for
a figure by Thorwaldsen here; but no
taste ought to be INDUCED to the preju-
dice of aduty."

Danger In Brick Walls.

A new danger has been discovered in
sanitary organization. The ubiquitous
bacterium, which proves to be the germ
of so many obscure diseases, has been
found by NJ. Parixe, French savant, to
take up its abode in brick walls Motto
ing some peculiar mark on the outside of
the wall, he scraped little off and plac-
ed it under magnifying power of 300,
the result of which was to show myriads
of organism moving about with extraor-
binary activity. 1t was the more singu-
lar that this red dust had been covered
with a layer of lime quarter of an inch
thick Under the impression that the
bacteria might have been a superficial de-
posit NJ. Parize then drilled hole into
the very centre of the brick, and to his
great surprise discovered that the pow
dered material was full of the same liv-
ing organisms, although not in such large
quantities as in the external layer. To
make sure that this was not an exception
al brick, he carried on his experiments at
various places in the wallis, and always
with the same result, that the bricks
were more or less impregnated with bac-
terra, which appear to flourish equally
we'll in brick wall as in saucer of some
fermenting substance. There can be
very little doubt that woodwork is often
a source of danger from the same cause,
perplexing malarious fever having been
traced by the doctors of San Francisco
to certain decayed foundations and wood
floors, which abound in that city, and
which, when taken down, were found to
be swarmir /, with organisms.
