VAST ESTATES.
The Eake of Cleveland and the Acres He
Was Lord Over.

The late Duke OF Cleveland possessed
immense estates and vast wealth, and
the whole of his property was at his
own disposal. He always lived in great
state, and particularly at Raby, where
he was quite grand seigneur. His
Durham estate, which extends over
55,SS7 acres, included large portion of
the borough o: Darlington, but the land
was sold by him for building purposes
about twenty years ago, as north coun-
try people usually refuse positively to
build on leasehold tenure. The Duke
owned the great 1.-THE of Darlington.
Raby is a magnificent place, the cas-
tie dating from the fourteenth century,
and it stands in a finely wooded deer
park of Thousand acres. Lord Bea-
consfeld described it as the only place
in England, except Ainwicll, which
came fully up to his ideas of the coun-
try seat of "a great noble" The Duke
always passed the autumn at Raby. lie
was an excellent landlord. and there
never were any vacant farms on the
Raby estate, the tenants, as n rule,
having lived on the property for gen.
erations. No estate has been more in-
proved, and, in addition to rebuilding
farm-houses and steadings and erecting
cottages, miles of land in Upper Tees
dale, which were formerly barren moor,
have been drained, and so well man
aged that the land is now productive.
Besides an estate of 25,604 acres in
Shropshire the Duke owned another of
3,S42 acres in Northants and another Of
1897 acres in Cornwall, while he also
had LOSS acres in Devonshirc and 4,7S4
acres in Somersetshire, the last domain
including considerable portion of the
famous Vale of Wrington, and also the
valuable Bathwick property in the city
of Bath, from which he drew large
rental. These were his family estates;
but, before succeeding to the dukedom,
he bought the Battle Abbey property
of G, O25 acres from Sir Godfrey Vassall,
and the beautiful old abbey became
and always continued to be his favorite
residence. Truth

ODD DUTIES OF BRIDESMAIDS.
Once Had to Dress the Bride as Well as
walk Before Her.

Instead of being so many graceful Or
naments at the marriage ceremony, as
nowadays, the bridesmaids in olden
times had various duties assigned to
them. Thus one of their principal
tasks was dressing the bride on her
wedding morning, when any omission
in her toilet was laid to their charge.
At wedding, too, where it was ar
ranged that the bride should be fol-
lowed by numerous train of her lady
friends, it was the first bridesmaids
duty to play the part of drill mis-
treSs, sizing" them, so that mo pair
in the procession were followed by a
taller couple" She was also expected
to see that each bridesmaid was not
only duly provided with sprig of rose
mary, or a floral posy pinned to the
breastfolds of her dress but had sym
bolical chaplet in her hand
In many parts of Germany it is still
customary for the bridesmaids to bring
the myrtle wreath, which they have
subscribed together to purchase, to the
house of the bride, and to remove it
from her head at the close of the we'd
ding day
After this has been done the bride is
blindfolded, and the myrtle wreath
being put into her hand, she tries to
place it on the head of one of her
bridesmaids as they dance around her,
for, in accordance with an old belief
whoever she crowns is sure to be mar
ried within year from that date.
AS may be imagined, this ceremony
is the source of no small excitement,
each bridesmaid being naturally anX-
ious to follow the example of the bride.
1t is still current notion in many
parts of England that Che bride in re-
moving the bridal wreath must take
especial care that her bridesmaids throw
away every pin. Not only is it affirmed
that misfortune will overtaiie the bride
who retains even one pin used in her
marriage toilet, but woe also to the
bridesmaids if they keep any of them,
as their prospects of marriage will
thereby be materially lessened. - Bos-

SEAWEED IN CHINA.
Gathered by the Natives and Used a
Food.

ny tue -NAiifeS anu OSeu as
Food.
About five hundred thousand pools of
sea wrack, valued at one ruble and six
ty kopeckS per pood, is exported from
Saghalin and neighboring Russia coasts
in Tartary to China every year. The
weed is considered great delicacy in
China, and the largest market for it is
in Ching Foo. The best sorts are
shipped to Shanghai. The gathering of
the weed begins early in March and
continues until late in the autumn,
when the sea gets too stormy for the
small craft employed in the trade. The
more northeriy the spot from which the
wracR is tishcd the better is its quality.
The best weeds come from a depth of
twenty-five feet or more below the SUR
face of the water. AS broken leaves
are of no value, the wrack gatherers
are provided with long ralies, which are
let down in the water and the wrack
pulled gently up by the roots. The
roots arc cut off and thrown into the
water, and the leaves are sent to the
shore, where they are carefully spread
out and dried in the sun. When the
weather Is oau they are quickly covered
up, for moisture spoils them. In shall
low places the wrack is cut from the
root with a knife in the form of a long
scythe attached to pole. The wrack
gatherers are very careful to restore the
roots to the water as soon as they get
the weed, for the same roots will pro-
duce new crop of wracll in two years.
The weed is of a brownish green color
when over-ripe and bright green when
young. 1t is very long and thick, and
does not change in color or shape when
dried. The best wrack is produced
from March to July. The later crops
are of inferior value. The Chinese cut
the wrack in thin slices like noodles
and use it as soup vegetable, boiled
with fish or meath. Y. Sun.

as if nothing more had been expected.
Again and again the two NEITHER
eyes cleaning with rage, their struggles
filling the air with dust, until finally,
the bull refused to fight so handicapped,
and the bear was dragged ANONYMOUSLY
from the ring for failing to Stay its ad-
versary.
This duel, one-sided and unsatisfac-
tory to those who desired to see blood
shed, was eminently more to the taste
of the Americans, who were repaid in
seeing the maneuvers of the bear in
avoiding unnecessary work. In all its
movements bruin reminded one of the
typical prize fighter, hulking, SLOUGH
ing fellow, suggestive of reserve force
and not little slyness.
The bear evidently believed in the
economy Of wind, allowing the bull to
do all the paving and snorting, remain
ing passive spectator while its enemy
worked itself into a passion or was en-
couraged by its attendants. When the
rush came its motions were surprisingly
rapid, and its strength, under certain
conditions, evidently sufficient to have
broken a cows neck.
In the contests of twenty or more
years ago before the fastidious Ameri-
cans secured so firm hold in southern
California, there were no precautions
taken. The bull was released with the
sharpest horns, while the bear had been
kept on short allowance for a week OF
more, and was in no amiable mood.
