The Wedding of He -Haw Wilde.

London Truth remarks that Nellie
went to see Oscar Wilde's wedding,
and was immensely amused, On arriving
at the church (St. Jamse's, Sussex Gar
dens), to find that the bridegroom had
given orders thae none should be ad-
mitted unless they had his card. OF
course, it was quite right that a certain
portion of the church should be set apart
at weddings for the friends of the bride
and bridegroom but for man to issue
his commands as to who shall and who
shall not, be admitted to public place
of worship is little too ridiculous.
Nellie got in, however. Notwithstanding
her being unprovided with Mr.. OSCAR
Wi1de's visiting card. She says the
brides dress was pretty, chiefly on &C.
count of its, perfect simplicity, Her
veil was peculiar, being Of gauze or
open-meshed spun silk, OF something
unusual. The bridesmaids harmonies
of terracotta and primrose were spoiled
by white hats and feathers. Nellie says
it was the funniest thing III the world
to see the contracting parties and the
best man posing in studied attitudes
during the ceremony. Fancy man
being married with his head on one side,
like a ''tlred" lily, his hand on his hip
and his legs disposed according to pre-
concerted arrangement. The brides
maids carried lovely lilies. Lady Wilde
"snatched" her new daughter to her
heart with some effusion, and the bride"
groom kissed the bride. }~-

Twenty-Five Mormon missionaries,

The discussion of the Mexican pension bill in
the senate brought out some queer statistics
about the pensioners Of the war of 1912. That
war WAS ended nearly seventy years ago, and
the number of troops engaged in it was not
remarkable, yet to-day there are actually 2l,-
600 pensioners On the roll, as widows Of that
war. They drew last year s1,oS2, 600, or five
and a half times as much rs the few old soldiers
surviving OF course, the explanation is that
some of the widows were married to the veter-
an warriors half a century or SO after the war
was over and they became entitled to their
pensions in due time, when their husbands
died. Thus it is not impossible that in the
twentieth century greater part Of the q, 600
widows will stlll be drawing pensions on &C

The origin of Wheat.

Evolution claims at length TO have
solved the problem of the origin Of
wheat. The noted botanist, Grant Al
len, says
wheat ranks by origin as a degen-
crate and degraded lily. The primitive
ancestor of the lily was very simple
plant, with triple set of pollen bearing
stalncns, fertilized by insects. 1t thus
acquired those bright colors and that
beauty which riyalcd Solomon in all
his glory. The development was
through many stages, through the alesi-
na an IN irsh arrow grass an / unnumer
able forms, until it reached the perfect
lily. The first downward step seems
TO have been Standardization, taking the
place of the insect aid. Afterwards the
winds brought the varied fertilizing poll
len dust, and so came the PUSHES, plain
Iiule lilies, with dry brownish flowers;
then die wood rushes, something be
tween the true rush and grasses. The
Eascaulon, a common. American water
plant, rush-like in character. bridCed
over the gap between the rushes AMI the
=
grasses, and then step BY step tho chang
es in the part of the flower eliminated
in our wheat plant With the wood
rush commenced the habit of storing
gluten and starch along with tt e embryo,
which has made the cereal . valuable
FIR human food and raised our wheat,
the descendent of the lily, the queen Of
the floral world, to the prince ofgrains,
bearing its princely sway upon all the
goldon harvest fields Of every civilized
s.c. and nation Of the globe.

The effect that the disappearance of
forests has upon climate receives fresh
illustration almost every day. In Italy
the clearing of the Apennines is be-
heved to have seriously changed the
climate of the Pc valley, and now the
African s~irocco, never known to the
armies of ancient Rome, breathes its
hot, blithing breath over the right bank
of the river in the territory of Parma.
The removal CT the pine forests near
Ravenna induced the same desolating
wind; and the same destruction of the
old forests of Vosges and of the Ce-
venues has had like d~eteriorating in
fuences upon the climate. In Egypt.
where, during the French occupation in
1898, not a drop of rain fell for sixteen
months, and where from time immem-
orial the country has been a ~rainless bed
of sand, Mohammed Ali, by planting
his millions of fig and orange trees, has
seen his country blessed with an annual
rainfall of several inches.

An Egyptian Battalion 400 q. C.

The formation Of the battalion for
combat was as follows:
The 100 captains formed the front
rank of the battalion, and each cap
tain had his 100 men in file behind him
a corporal at the head of each nine men.
The chief of each 1000 men was in front
of the center of his two companies,
while the colonel commanding the
grand battalion wa in front of its cen
ter.
The leaders were not mounted on
horseback, but were mounted in two
wheeled chariots drawn usually by two
horses. In the chariots were carried a
supply of javeline and arrows for the
use of the chief, who usually had in the
chariot with him a soldier, who held a
buckIer to cover him from the arrows
of the enemy, while he dealt about him
with his bow and spears.
In the early days, and down to the
time of Sesostris, the officers and non
commissioned officers carried bucklers
and swords, while the private soldiers
of infantry carried each a buckler and
q battle-ax. Sometimes the battle-ax
was accompanied by, and sometimes re-
placed by a spear.
1t is easy to see that Moses drew from
the military organization of Egypt that
which he adopted for the Israelites, and
later OF the Greeks their formations.
Both these nations took their first les
sons in civilization and organization
from Egypt.
In the earliest monuments and re-
cords of the Egyptian army there is no
sign of the existence of the horse as a
military animal, while in the monu-
ments of the Eighteenth dynasty, the
war-horse is everywhere indicated. It
is probable that the war-horse was first
introduced by the Shepherd Kings, who
came IN from Syria about 1000 years
ago. It's certain that the horse formed
an important agent in the military es-
adjustment of Egypt, under the legiti-
mate Kings of the country, LOO years
before the Christian era, and the lack
Oh monuments erected during the 500
years OF struggle between the Shep-
nerd Kings and the Thebans explains
easily the lack of record on this subject. !
