Orange Blossoms for Brides

Inc emblem may have been occa-
slonally worn by European brides ever
since the time of the crusades; but the
general adoption of orange blossoms
Tor brides is comparatively a modern
practlce' probably at first adopted be-
cause the orange flower was rare and
costly and it has always been the
practlce to be expensive at weddings.
Inc orange blossoms were found an
proprlate and suitable, the sentiment
under which it was used by the Sar-
acens was approved, and it became the
fashion for brides to wear orange blos-
sons The orange fruit was brought
TO England as early as 1890, but it was
long time before there was really anv
cultivation of the orange. The tree is
supposed by many to have been

THE HOT sIRocco.
Where 1t Originates and How 1t Travels
Northward to Europe.

Where 1t Originates and How 1t Travels
Northward to Europe.
Most of the hot winds of the Old
World are modified forms of the si-
moon. The sirocco originates in the
Sahara and travels northward to the
Mediterranean and Southern Europe,
but it is not so deadly as its prototype.
1t brings with it great quantities of
the desert sand, and the air becomes
so dense at times that the sun is OBJ
scured as if by London fog. While
it remains on the African mainland it
is characterized by very marked dry
ness, as there are no extensive water
surfaces to supply it with moisture.
As soon, however, as it Is launched
over the Mediterranean it begins to
take up copious draughts, so that
when it reaches Malta, Sicily and the
southern shores of Europe as a wind
from between southeast and southwest,
it has undergone a change from hot
dry wind to hot damp wind. The
result of this alteration is that it be-
comes most enervating to the human
constitution. Indeed, while it prevails,
from one to several days at a time, life
is scarcely worth living, so depressing
and burdensome is the wind. 1t is the
plum6euS AuSter of Horace. HUI
man energy is quite dissipated
under its fatiguing influence, and with
a temperature ranging between 95 de-
grees and 10 degrees the streets of the
towns affected by it are deserted. Ac-
cording to the Italians a stupid book
is put down as ''era scritto in tempo
del sciroccO." To the Sicilians the op-
pressive wind is a perfect plague, for,
although naturally indolent, they can
not stand the further loss of energy in
duced by it. During its prevalence
iron rusts, clothes spoil with mildew,
meat turns putrid, grapes and green
leaves wither, wine will not fine and
paint will not dry. Sicily experiences
the sirOcco about dozen ti1es year.
but it is not so frequently met with in
other parts of Europe. There is no
mistaking the origin of the wind, as
the reddish sand is still present when
the Mediterranean and causes a misty
atmosphere. In Turkey the sirocco is
known as the Samiel, or Sumyel, a
name identical in meaning with SIMEON.
1t is supposed to have some connection
with cattle disease in the south OF
Russia. On the Spanish Mediterranean
coast the wind draws more to the east
and is known locally as the solanO, a
damp wind, sometimes accompanied by
rain, causing feverishness, dizziness
and restlessness, and people are so
"dOne up" under it's debilitating in
fuence that we must Task no favors
during the solano." According to the
Spaniards only pig and an English
man are insensible to the wretched
breeze COrnhiU Magazine.

WASHINGTON MONUMENT.
The Effect of Heat and Cold on the
Great Stone Shaft.

Ene EHecG OF Heat ana CoIQ on the
Great Stone Shaft.
Great care is taken to note the
movements of the Washington Monu-
ment, for it does move. The Law of
contraction and expansion of material
by heat and cold operates here as well
as elsewhere. When the sun shines
full on the eastern face in the morning
the stones of that side expand and
throw the shaft slightly to the west.
Then the sun goes around to the south
and the apex of the monument makes
corresponding swing to the north.
AS the orb creeps about the sky to its
final setting in the evening the glitter
ing point on top of the monument
makes a contra-m,avement around
half a circle, gradually setting
back to its normal position after
the rays of the sun have lost their
power. This movement has never been
calculated, but is undoubtedly very
slight The wind, too. has an effect
upon the structure From the center
Of gravity of the shaft, located 174 feet
and 10 inches from the floor, is cross
beam from which is suspended fine
steel wire, protected by a galvanized
iron tube about four inches in diam
ster. This hangs to the floor at the
northwest corner Of the elevator well.
At the bottom is a plumb bob weigh
ing twenty-five pounds. suspended by
means of the wire, and hanging
In water. An iron cylinder pro-
tects the instrument from injury,
and little iron house about four feet
high keeps off the draught. Through
the cylinder is a telescope eyepiece, in
one end of which are two vertical wires
about one-quarter of an inch apart.
When candle is held at an opening
in the side of the box and the eye is
applied to the outside end of the tube,
the plumb line can be seen-a fine line
between the vertical marks. Any
movement i'll the shaft is recorded by
corresponding movement in the line.
When the structure is at rest, and in
its normal position. the line
hangs still, midway between
the others, but when the shaft is
disturbed by the action of the wind it
sways back and forth like the pendulum
Of a clock, always coming to rest in
the center. This is observed every
day, and if the custodian should ever
notice the line hanging still at any
point outside of the two cross lines he
will then know that the monument has
been permanently moved from its level
position. Until then, however, no one
need be alarmed by the oscillations of
the shaft from the action of the wind
Or the influence of the SUN flashing

How the Earlier Races Looked Upon I'M
married Men.
Although hardened bachelors are
treated with more respect than they
deserve in these degenerate days. they
were not in favor with the earlier
races of men. In the time of Moses,
with only rare exceptions, marriage
was obligatory among the Jews. Ly-
curgus treated bachelors with in
fanny. They were excluded from civil
and military positions and even from
ypectacle5 and public games. On GER
cain solemn occasions they were ex-
posed to the jeers of the populace and
paraded naked around the public
places. The lashing of bachelors was
an annual ceremony, publicly per-
formed in the Temple of Juno by the
women of Sparta. In other republics
of Greece there was established penal
laws against celibacy. Demosthenes
in pleading against Lescharia says that
certain emblems were placed upon the
tombs of bachelors, which were not
honorary to the deceased. 1t was the
custom for young men to rise and
surrender their seats to their elders.
But no one found fault with
the young man who refused this
courtesy to Ducyllidas, saying: mo
child of yours will ever make room for
me-" Plato exclaims against celibacy,
and imposes a penalty upon it in the
sixth book Of laws for his imaginary
Republic" He wished no Difference
to be paid to the unmarried. DiOny-
sius of Halicarnassus mentions an
ancient law by which persons of ma
ture age were obliged to marry At
Rome a penalty called the aes uxorium
was imposed, and after the siege of
Veil, Camillus forced the single men
20 marry the widows of those who had
fallen in defense of their country In
B. G. Is Augustus enacted law Ct
does not appear, however, to have
come into operation until B. e. 1O,
which was known originally as the Lex
Julia de Maritan dis Ordinibu and
afterwards as the Lex Julia ct Papia
Poppoea- By this law various penal
ties were imposed upon those who lived
in a state of celibacy after a certain
age. An unmarried person could not
take a legacy, unless he altered his
condition within one hundred days
after the death of the testator.-Notes
and Queries.
