A WEDDING IN NORWAY.
How the Bride Looks, Acts and Dresses
Up in the Far North.


A wedding is announced at the church.
whose bells are pealing. We invite our,
selves. A score of us enter the building.
1t is, like most Lutheran churches,
plain; but there is an altar, with 'seven
candlesticks" and candles; a large
cross, perfectly white; pulpit midway,
and commodious pews and seats. The
hour is two in the afternoon, not in the
morning, though as to lighting the
chnrch, it is ''all one" Some dozen or
so of the natives, all females, with
handkerchiefs upon their heads, are
present.
Our party is seated at the front.
remain at the door. My wedding gar
ment is not made up TO the highest
style, but as the procession enters the
door fall in behind with the small boy
of the family. The bride is tas' llg iifii
with inflammatory hair and cool de-
meanor. The groom is thick-set,
stout man, whose hair is erect, and
whose perturbability is quite equal to
that Of the woman whom he holds, we
hope gently, by the hand. A long
white veil depends from her back hair,
held by circlet Of ivy, plant in great
request and reputation here in Norway.
The friends of the bride and bride
groom, including parents, pass up to
the platform with them and take seats
on either side. A priest comes out from
the aaytum and stands before the altar
silently with his back to us, while the
precentor from a side platform raises a
sweet song, with whose music there is
not so much accord by the audience.
Then the bride and bridegroom kneel, a
prayer is said and the two are one, and
all are happy. The bride is arrayed at
the door, and the scene is concluded

AN INSULAR BARON.


Deserted Land.
On Great Maccatina, Alaska. where
Joliet once had sealing establishment,
lives Samuel Cement, who, besides his
family, consisting of wife and one or
two brothers, is the only inhabitant. He
was born on the island; has lived there
forty years without yearning for Qther
habitation and has grown 'rinh in Veateh-
ing seals-caught 5000 the last spring;
net profit to him of that achievement
something like $4,000, which is pretty
well for place where one would imagine
nothing could be expended. This,
however, as Mr.. Cement assured us, is
not the case, as trading boats visit the
island during the open season, laden
with all sorts of seductive wares. In
Mr.. GOment's hospitable cellar are ex.
celent brands of Macon, Vieux and
Rumart; and he lives here like an in
sular baron, though without retaners
or retinue, getting tribute and revenue
from the annually recurring seal. He
is well-to-do, contented and happy, sees
n little of the outside world, getting in
termittent glimpses of it through the
fortnightlv visit of the Government
mail boat, the Otter, whose black smoke
pennon we saw day bcfore,Our arrival,
and through the occasional visits of
fishing schooncrs from Newfoundland
and the MaydalenS, such as now lie at
anchor in the harbor Mr.. Cement

THE EGYPTIAN DONKEY.


Tourists.
The Egyptian donkey is a much
abused animal. If one were to believe
all that travellers say of him YOU would
suppose that his normal attitude was
with his heels in the air, while that of
his rider was prone in the mud before
him. The real donkey is exactly the
reverse of this ideal He is gentle,
intelligent, strong. enduring and almost
always sure footed. | have ridden Il
score at least and seen hundreds more
in use from day to day, and | have
never yet known one to lift his
heels higher than was necessary to
get over the inequalities of the
soil, refuse to 90 at a reasonable pace if
he was able. or stumble unless in the mud
of the Cairo streets, which is eXcusablc,
considering that they are profusely
watC~ed at all times of the day. An
iniintesimal donkey viii trot patiently
along with loads under which he is in
invisible from any point of view. He
will carry two hundred pound traveller
to the Pyramids and back apparently
without fatigue, the round trip being
twenty miles. He will stand any amount
Of beating with the donkey boys goad
or the travellers cane with the least
possible sign of resentment. He is
really altogether amiable, although, like
any animal. or like the worm, he may,
in extreme cases, turn on his oppressor.
Neither are the donkey boys so bad az
they are painted. Travellers accuse
them of malice, and say that it is theirs
delight to make their animals throw
riders over their heads. Nothing could be
more absurd. for, as no one will re-
! employ or again use mean donkey
boy or a vicious animal, good reputa-
ton becomes of the utmost Importance
to both. Besides, the donkeys are
usually owned by some well-to-do indi-
vidual who employs the young Arabs to
drive them, and prompt discharge
would at once follow any merited com
plant. This at least is the rule though
there are doubtless exceptions. Con-
siderable effort is made to take care of
those used by strangers for obvious
reasons, though as in Italy emaciated
donkeys not much larger than rabbits
can be seen staggering under the
| heaviest burdens. - San Francisco

GROWING OLD.

The fairest lilies drOop mt eventide
The sweetest roses fall from off the stem;
The rarest things of earth can not abide,
And we are passing, too, away like them
We're growing old
We had our dreams-those rosy dreams of
youth;
They faded, and twas well. This after
prime
Hath brought us fuller hopes;I and yet, for.
sOOth,
We drop tear now in this later time
To think we're old
We smile at those poor fancies of the past
saddened smile, almost akin to pain;
Those high desires, those purposes so vast,
All, our poor hearts, they can not come
again;
We're growing old.
Old? Well, the heavens are old; this earth
is, too;
Old wineis best, maturest fruit most sweet:
Much have we lost, more gained, although
tbs true
We tread Hfe's way with most uncertain
feet.
We're growing old.
We move along. ana scatter as we pace
SOFT grasses, tender hopes on every hand
AT last with gray-streaked hair and hollow
face,
We step across the boundary of the land
Where none are old.

Secretary Endicott's Office.

The Office of the Secretary of War at
Washington is said to be the most beau
tiful one at the Capital. On the walls
in front of Secretary Endicott hang the
pictures in oils of the Secretaries of the
past. Some of them are by noted
artists. The portrait of Calhoun was
found at West Point by Secretary Bel
KNAPP, with its face turned to the wall.
Timothy chickering's portrait is very
old, and, it is thought, was painted by
Waldo. 1t was accidentally discovered
by Secretary Belknap in an auction
store in New York, and was bought for
the Department. Simon Cameron )

A MEDICAL CURIOSITY.
Screaming Exchange Spectators and
Their Affections.

A medical curiosity was revealed to
me by a physician whose speciality is
throat diseases, and whose practice is
principally among members of the com.
mercial exchanges. Much of the bust
ness of the stock exchange, the pro-
duce exchange. and other speculative
marts, is done in whOops and yells.
The scene on the floor, with crowd OF
excited operators pushing and hauling,
gesticulating and screeching, has often
been described, but it had never struck
me that the wear and tear of vocal
chords was consequential
Nor would it be, - the physician
said, IF all the spectators and brok-
ers had strong, high voices. The
trouble comes to those who have to
strain their throats in making rHUm-
selves heard in the din. Acute bron-
chits, partial paralysis, or acute lesion

and they have to 90 to a doctor for
treatment. | happened somehow to

ECLIPSES.


The Superstitions Enter tanned by Various
Peoples About Their Causes.
From time immemOrial, and to the
present day, most peculiar ideas have
been entertained in different parts of
the world about eclipses and their
cause. The Hindoos believe that a
black demon seizes the moon with its
claws, and as long as darkness prevails
the air is filled with lamentations, men,
women and children entering the rivers,
where they remain up to their neck in
water until the return of light
The Siamese priests (talapoins) be-
lieve that when the moon is eclipsed 4
great dragon is devouring it, and in
order to oblige him to let go his prey
they make all sorts of abominable
noses.
The Chinese, Ike the Lapl anders, are
convinced that an eclipse is the work of
demons, and made a great hubbub to
frighten them away.
The Romans believed the eclipses to
be the work of magicanS, and that a
great noise could prevent them from
hurting the moon. Plutarch saws that
AglaOnice, during an eclipse of the
moon which she had predicted, per-
suaded the women of Thessalica that
by her magic songs she had not only
the power to darken the moon, but to
oblige it to descend upon the earth.
The Greeks, and the inhabitants of
e
Asia Minor stood 1m sacn ss, ), - s o.
eclipses that, according to Herodotus,
in the year 610 B. c., while battle be-
tween the Lydans and the Modes was
raging, an eclipse of the sun occurred,
as predicted by Phales of Millet. 1t
not only put an end to the fight, but the
contending parties fastened to make
peace, cementing the treaty by the mar
riage of Aryenis to Asivages.
If we now turn to America we find
that the Peruvians, MeXicans, and
others stood in great awe of the phenom-
enon. The Peruvians particularly
dreaded the eclipse of the moon; they
imagined that Luna was suffering from
one Of the mysterious diseases to which
she was supposed to be subject, and
feared that the queen of night might
burst open and fall upon them. TO
avoid such a terrible calamity, and
awaken her from her lcthargy, they
would sound loud Instruments, shout at
the top of their voices, and beat the
| dogs to make them howl.
The MeXicans imagined that eclipses
occurred in consequence of a family
squabblc between the sun aud the moon.
and that the moon was wounded in the
fray, The frightened men observed
rigorous fastS. the women inflicted
corporal punishment on themselves. and
young girls drew blood from their arms.
In Yucatan, the most interesting
State of Mexico, the descendants Of the
Mayas are convinced that when Luna
loses her brilliancy, she has sickened in
consequence of being bitten by some
large and very spiteful ants called
Aala5s, and that they will deyour her if
she is left without help. To BRIGHTEN
away her enemies they beat drums,
blow shell trumpets, shout, beat their
dogs, pinch the cats tails, and fire
rockets and guns toward the moon

crete, cases his ash-bins with brick and
threads his galleries with fire extin-
tinguishers. The chance of fire NAV
come once in a lifetime, but it is worth
all pains to be ready for it. Why should
not the chance of having a building
struck by lightning, which happens a
dozen times a season. be prepared
against by every device and forethouoht
imaginable?
The chances of accident from light
ming are about equal to those from shot
guns, yet people treat the latter with
great respect, while they laugh at any
one who is cautious of exposure TO the
former danger. As nearly all injuries
from it come of foolhardy exposure out
of doors or at open windows, the lest
does not lie with those who study to
avoid it. Children should be taught to
guard themselves in the few moments
of danger during a storm. to stay in
doors and keep away from windows,
chimnevS and large mirrors or metal
fiXturessof any sort. That their elders
should learn care seems past hoping for.
In the heaviest storm of the season doz-
ems of people went trooping from the
trains across open fields and country
roads, strung with telegraph and tele-
phone wires, Drawing all chances

in their narrow dens between the wire
and window are as exposed as it is pos
sible to be, and it is simply foolhardy
for them to stay in their offices in
storm. Nearly every country town has
its record of an operator struck from
the wires, though not all as sad as that
of the girl at the next station to this,
killed at her instrument two summers
ago. A telegrapher doesn't want to take
any chances. for the odds are against
him anyhow. Most mortals would rather
die than take care for their lives; still a
few are of sufficient value to themselves
to practice caution even against light
ming, For when people say it is no use
guarding against it, for it will strike
anyhow, they fly in the face of science
and fact, which comfort us with the as
surance that its stroke is to be prevented
as surely as cholera, with care.-Chtca-
