Mute During His Marriage Service

Detroit Dispatch to the ST. Louis Globe Democrat
1t was noticed at the wedding OF ex-Minister
Lothrop's daughter Anne to the Baron Huene, OF
81. Petersburg, at St. Paul's church, last week,
Thursday night, that the bridegroom did not
make any OF the responses called for in the Epis-
copal marriage service, while the brides responses
were clear and distinct. This was commented on
at the time, but nothing more was thought OF It
than that the baron did not consider IL essential
IL transpired to-day, however, that the reason ne
was silent was that he did not understand q word
OF the service, which Was In English. 1t was all
Greek to him.
Upon reaching Mr.. Lothrops house after the
ceremony al the church, and before the beginning
OF the reception, the barOns embarrassment was
discussed and IL was decided for his satisfaction
TO have the ceremony performed q second time by
minister whom the baron could understand.
The gallant lieutenant OF her Russian MaJestys
Guards Is fluent In the German tongue, and 80 the
Lutheran minister was summoned, and the whole
business was gone through with once more, nut
very quickly and with less Formally. The baron
now made the responses, and, after the ceremony,
expressed the greatest Keller, but OF course there
was doubt OF the entire force and legality OF the
church performance.

Apple Love.


From Chamber Journal.
In scotland and In England the apple Is a very
popular divining medium in love matters Part OF
this popularity is probably due to the coramon no
ton that the tree Of knowledge OF good and evil
was an apple tree. Horace mentions the use of
apple pips In love affairs. lover would take
pip between the finger and thumb and shoot it up
70 the ceiling, and II 1t struck IT, his or her wish
the fidelity Of her beloved by putting pip in the
nre, at the same time pronounciag his name. II
the pip bursts with q report, it Is q sign that he
loves her; but should II burn silently She Is con-
WINGED OF bis want OF true affection for her. This
Is often performed with nuts instead OF pips GAYS
on each cheek, one for Lubberkin and The other
for Boobyclod:
But Boobyclod soon drops upon the ground
A certain token that his loves unsound;
While Lubberkin sticks firmly to the last"
Gay also mentions the very common amusement
OF pairing an apple without breaking the peel and
then throwing the strip over the left shoulder in
order 10 see the initial letter OF the lovers name

From the Boston Courier
1t is great pity that there cannot be organized
society for the suppression or az least for the
regulation OF stained glass. The doors OF all the
new apartment houses. with not q few Of their
windows, show examples Of color gone mad and
designs in chaos The one idea of the makers OF
these monstrosities seems to be TO get In as many
crude coiors as possible, to put no two tints that
harmonic side by side, 10 have no appreciate de-
Sign, and, above ALL to impart TO The whole air
OF shoddy cheapnesS. Stained glass Is q material
which Can only be effectively used with the Ut
most care and at considerable expense. Incompe-
TENT handling anu economy turned into an tntoer-
able nuisance what should be one OF the most
pleasing OF all the artistic effects in architectural
detail The only relief from fashion OF this kind

From Garden and Forest
writer In q recent issue Of the Rurul New
Yorker calls attention To the beauty and value Of
the much-abused ailanthus tree for planting in
city streets II is indeed Of the best trees that
has ever been tried for this purpose either In this
country or In Europe, and no exotic tree with the
exception, perhaps, OF the white willow, has yet
SHOWN Such capacity FOR adapting itself to the
peculiarities OF the American climate The only
possible objection TO the ailanthus Is that the
flowers OF the male plants have an exceedingly
po,ien II supposed 70 produce catarrhal troubles
But as the above writer points out this objection
can De very readily obviated by raising plants
from root-cuttings taken from the female plants
only, and by avoiding the use Of seedlings. among
which there might be expected TO be as many
males as females. AS the ailanLhus grows RAPIDLY
quickly In this way. A moderately severe pruning

Our contemporary hardly does justice, however
to the great economic value OF this tree which IS
surpassed, In the value OF the material which &c
Yields oy lew North American trees; and certainly
United States which can produce so much valua-
BILE wood In such short time. The wood OF the
ailanthus must be compared in heat producing
properties with white oak, black walnut and bircn

out a clear, bright flame and leaving good bed OF
Goals. The amount OF ash left after the combus-
ton Of the wood IL remarkably small. The great
value OF the ailanthus, however, As q source OF
fuel supply, lies in the fact that It makes wood.
even In poor soil, more than twice as rapidly as
any Of our trees which produce fuel of anything
like the same value. The tact has not been demon.
strated by experiment, but IT Is safe to say that
an acre Of ground planted with ailanthus would
yield at the end OF thirty years more than twice
as much fuel, IN bulk and IN actual heat product,
or oak.
Ailanthus wood, In spite of the rapid growth
which this tree makes, is both heavy and very
strong. II neither shrinks nor warps in season
Ing, and as material for the cabinet-maker IL has
few superlOrs among woods grown without the
tropics. In color, II Is clear, bright yellow and
although coarse grained, IL can be made to take
f1ne polish.
Take 1t all in all, for hardness and rapidity of
growth, for the power to adapt itself TO the dirt
and smoke the dust and drought OF cities, for the
lnablty 10 thrive In the poorest soil. Tor beauty
and for usefulness, this tree, which the Able
d'Incaville brought back with him from CHINA
