Gov. Mcclellan, of Nova Scotia,
has received a memorial from the W.

to discard intoXicants at government

a lifelong abstainer.
Justice Shields has directed the re-

BY MRS. t. A. DUNLAP.
The City Union voted to meet every
Thursday instead of semi-monthly, as
heretofore.
Mrs. 0. P. Haney, of Russellville,
mother of our Mrs. Fife Cronin, is in
the city, visiting her daughter.
Mrs. Alfred Noon, president of the
Little Rock Union, has returned from
an extended visit in Massachusetts.
We welcome her.
Mrs. Chace starts east on Monday.
She will visit relatives and friends I'M
til the 18th, when she goes to New
York to the National.
We now have on hand at headquar-
tiers all kinds of literature. Can fur
nish you at Chicago prices. No
Union ought to be without supply.
We ought to scatter the good seed.
Little Rock Union voted to pay
state dues for seventy-ive members
($30) at their meeting Thursday.
Last year $11.50 was paid for state
dues. You can understand some
thing of the growth and vigor of the
Union by these figures.
We hope the Unions throughout
the state will remember that we must
make up the treasurer's report to the
National by the 30th. Send on your
dues, my sisters. If you send them
one day late we cannot report them
this year.
At the meeting on Thursday even
ing Mrs. Myra Vaughn, state super
intendent of White Cross and White
Shield, read an article on this all i'm
portant work that would do credit to
national superintendent. The
Union asked to have it published in
the CHRONICLE.
Hazen Union sent beautiful flow
ers, with apples, to the women and
sick at the penitentiary and hospital.
They were distributed by the direc-
ton of Miss Langley, state superin-
tendent of the Flower Mission. There
was one bouquet sent especially to
an old man seventy-seven years old,
who is in the penitentiary. 1t was
beautiful to see and hear him express
his admiration for all things in nature,
especially flowers. The press of Ha-
zen notes the preparation and send
ing of these flowers has been a great
blessing to one Union, if not to those
who received them.

necessary to keep saying it over and
over until the public ear gets
thoroughly used to it. 1t is only in
this way that one can explain the
curious manner in which certain pre-
posterous exaggerations come to be
accepted, and with constant enlarge
ment. The excess of women in our
older states, for instance, keeps grow
ing larger and larger in the news
papers. This is not so strange, but
when we find an educated Boston
physician, in what purports to be a
serious work-vouched for, moreover,
by New York physician and a
Boston clergyman-putting the ex-
cess of women in Massachusetts at
100000, it shakes ones confidence
in the common sense of the community.
AS matter of fact, the actual excess
of women in Massachusetts, by the
census of 1880, was not much more
than half this number, being 5000.
The total number of the male popu-
lation of that state, as then recorded
was 858, 440, and of the femalep opu-
lation 924, 645.
1t has been shown by the returns
of the Massachusetts census that this
excess of women does not largely
consist, as was once supposed, of the
unmarried, nor yet of the divorced,
but that it consists almost wholly of
widows. By the state census OF
1875, when the excess of women was
GO, LAG, it appears that the excess of
widows over widowers in Massa-
chusetts was 50, 1903, thus accounting
for nearly the whole excess of women
over men. This large number of
widows is explained in manufacturing
towns by the fact that they seek sup
port for themselves and their children
in the mills; in seaport towns, by the
large mortality among sailors and
fishermen, so that single gale on the
banks may leave fifty widows; and in
the state as a whole by the fact that
it is one of the older states from
which many young men have gone
westward, and that in the event of
their death their widows and children
are very apt to return to the old nest.
To this may be added the influence
of the schools and colleges of Massa-
chusetts, which bring many women
there to educate their children. In
street with which the writer is
familiar, in the state, there are seven
teen houses, of which eight are oc-
cupied by widows; and four of these
ladies have come into Massachusetts
within a few years, either for the
education of their own children or to
assist in the education of the children
of other people. If this is the case
in one short street of suburban city
it will not take long to make up such
instances to many thousand. Under
these circumstances some of the sur
plus women of a state must certainly
be counted to its credit they create
the presumption that it is community
which attracts those who have families
of children to be educated on

head to foot. This she carefully puts
away, for on her death it is destined
to be her shroud.
A young man in Persia sends a
horse to his sweetheart's home. She
mounts, closely yelled, and rides to
her future home holding a looking
glass before her all the way to inn
press upon her that she therein be-
holds herself for the last time single;
henceforth she is practically a slave
of her husband.
A peculiar custom is in vogue with
some of the North American Indians.
The Cherokee bridegroom conducts
his bride to a narrow stream of water,
which he crosses. They then join
hands over the running water, and
the marriage is complete.
An Egyptian bridegroom, when all
arrangements have been made by his
parents, sends a number of persons
to his brides dwelling. Their duty
is to tear her violently out of her
mothers arms, and convey her in
triumph to her husband. The pro-
cession is headed by dancers, then
follow slaves exhibiting different
articles destined for her use. The
bride comes next, closely yelled,
carried by slaves under a splendid
canopy; numerous torch bearers
close the procession. At the BRIDE
groom's house, during the evenings
entertainment, the young wife passes
several times before her husband
(always closely veiled) to display her
wealth and elegance. When the
guests retire, the married couple see
each other for the first time in their
lives.
In some parts of India the man
conducts his beloved into some water,
They are accompanied by priest
and also take with them COW and a
calf. The man places his hand by
the priests hand, and the young
woman places hers next that of the
bridegroom; they all three catch hold
of the cows tail, and some water is
poured over it. The two are then
made husband and wife by their
clothes being tied together by the
priest. The latter receives the COW
and calf as a present, and the happy
pair 60 and deposit money presents
on the various idols. This money, of
course, also finds its way into the
priests exchequer. Taking all to-
gether, the priest is handsomely re-
warded for his trouble.
The Brahmins kindle q fire made OF
sacred wood, and the priest opens
the service by prayer, after which the
bridegroom thows rice on the head OF
the bride, who Immediately returns
the compliment. Her father then
makes presents according to his
means to his daughter and son-in-law,
and washes the feet of the latter. He
then takes his daughters hand and
holds it in the water he has just used,
while he makes declaration to the
effect that he henceforth gives up all
authority over her. That being done
he gives her hand to his son-in-law
and also gives the latter small jewel
suspended by a string, to which the
head of an idol is fixed. This is

Mr.. Oldcastle, "he made great friends. !"
Mr.. Oldcastle also gives an example Of

The hunting society of Konitz has
imported wild turkeys, with which to
stock the forests of that region. 1t is
supposed that this game will readily
acclimatize, and in order to facilitate
the naturalization, it has been agreed
by the members of the society that for
the next three years the animals are
not to be disturbed. The recent trial
in Lower Austria has been most sue

Wonderful Mirages.

A great deal has been written upon
the subject of miTages. For d long
time Swedish sailors went in search for
magic island that seemed to rise be-
tween Aland and Upland. At last
they discovered that the supposed isle
was an optical illusion. In 1917 NJ
Grellois was travelling with a friend
one hot day in Southern France. They
were suddenly halted at turn of the
road by the appearance, upon what
they knew to be sandy plain, of
vast and beautiful CITY, adorned with
monuments, domes, and steeples The
illusion was SO complete that for time
reason refused to believe that the
scene was not real. The most won
derful part of the phenomenon was
that the city resembled none in that
whole region. A beautiful mirage was
seen in Paris in 1869, when the whole
city was teheld inverted in the atmos-
phere above.
Scoresby relates that in one of his
Arctic expeditions he beheld the mi
rage of q vessel, which was below the
horizon, and, of course, was not WISH
BILE. Through glass he discovered
that this vessel belonged to his father,
and it was afterwards ascertained that
they were then thirty-four miles apart.
The mirage often reveals objects vast
distances, so distant as to render the
stories told almost incred BILE.
While in the mountains of Thuringia,
Hem beheld the peaks, usually hid
den by intervening eminences, sudden
ly rise into view, and everything was SO
clearly defined that he was enabled to
distinguish with glass tufts of grass
which were over eighteen English
miles away. CrauZ, while in Green
land, saw the shores of the Kokernen
Islands, while it is claimed chat the
Allegheny Mountains have been made
visible in this way from the peak of
the Tenerihe. This latter story, how
ever, is not generally credited. While
on the shores of Orinoco, Humboldt
beheld the mirage of a mountain chain
situated three or four leagues away.
and also the beautiful spectacle of
herd of cattle apparently feeding in the
air.

There was very little sign of human
