Br,stal Proee.ssop.

A picture of primitive simplicity was witnessed on Western avenue and Partridge street Wednesday evening. It was bridal party, which walked from the brides resi- dence to the church and back again. The pink robes of the bride were lifted from the pavement with one hand while the other hand was drawn through the doubled arm of the groom. Her long white veil stood out like flag in the brisk breeze which prevailed. Behind the bride and groom walked the bess man and bridesmaid, docking arms, and back of them relatives, friends and curious girls and boys, who joined the procession p-Al- bany Journal.

oddltes About Rats.

Rats are natives of Asia and their raids westward belong to compara lively modern times. From the fact that the rat is not mentioned by any of the early Europeans 1t is sur missed that 1t was unknown west of the Ganges in ancient times. The hlack rat first came from Asia to Europe in the sixteenth century, along with the plague-and was first known as the graveyard specter, because he preyed on the flesh of those who died during that awful visitation He was also known as the plague cat, because the com mon house cat had similar habit of feasting on the dead. The black rat was the common house rat until the brown or gray rat made his ap pearance in 1775. The gray rat came to Europe from India, by way of Russia, and is now popularly known as the Norway rat, from mistaken tradition that Is came from Norway to England and from the latter country to Ameriea.-Ameri- can Naturalist

A German statistician has re- gently published the results of his investigation of the relative ages of husbands and wives in the various capitals of Europe.
 He ascertained that marriages are the most frequent where the husband Is two or three years older than the wife. Women under 20 years of age, however, usually take unto themselves husbands six or seven years older than themselves. The cases in which the man was year younger than the woman were al most as numerous as those in which he was six or seven years older. The first condition was true of 6.7 per cent. of all married couples and the latter condition of 6.4 Fer cent. The cases where the husband was six or seven years younger than the wife were also just as numerous as those where he was thirteen or four teen years older. Only two cases where the husband was thirty years the senior; one case where he was forty seven years older, and one case where he was older by forty six years. One case was dis covered where the wife was thirty-four years older than her husband. Twelve and three-tenths per cent of all men who marry women under 20 years of age, according to the statistician, are between 26 and 27 years old. - Boston Courier.

 A SIAsCONsET FISH STORY. An oIe whaier's Delsshtful Way of Enter
 tasnsng sauamer visitors
 A number of ancient fishermen were telling stories of their early days in the quaint little village of Siasconset. There were number of summer visitors in the room, and they seemed to enjoy the yarns which were being spun immensely. Finally an old, dried-up man with g purple wen on his reck and hand ful of white chin whiskers, said
 Talk about the whaling days in Siaseonset, why l can remember when the whales were So thick around here that it was a common thing for them to crawl upon the shore like turtles to sun them selves.
 "How loIg ago was thatf'' asked an anxious hystander
 About forty years ago, replied the old man. "and in those days the whales had oil in them, too, that was worth talking about. l have seen them tap a whale and by the time the cil was out of him there didn't seem to be skin enough left to cover base ball. But now they are kinder non-explosiye. z
 "What do you mean by non-ex pIosivef'' asked a bystander, as he handed the hoary grandsire of Sias- conset d flask with which to warm himself up bit.
 aI mean" replied the Siascon- setter, as he handed the flask back with a smile, ''that the whales used to be so full of oil that if you put g wick in one of them and lit it, 1t would burn for almost six months. z
 The crowd became very attentive as the old man continued:
 "We used to burn chunks of whale in the stove and it made the finest fire you ever saw We had whale or part of one, hanging up ike sheep in the back yard, and whenever we wanted to start a fire we would just step out with hatehet and chop chunk or two that would just fit the stove
 Have another drink, " inter rupted the man with the flask.
 Don't mind if I do.n replied the ancient Siasconseter.
 Here he took a good pull and handing the flask back, continued in a sad, reflective tore.
 . once knew an old whaler who has been dead great many years. His end was very sad. 2
 How did he diefD asked by stander.
 Killed by a whale" said the grand sire of Siasconset.
 "0ut on the water, of course" suggested the stranger.
 No; out in his back yard. "
 s'Hit him with his tailf'
 No" replied the Siasconset TO- mancer. .You see the old man hauled off at the whale with his hatchet-"
 "And the whale bit him in half before he could strikei"
 Not much; the whale was ssad. !"
 "Then how could he have killed your ancient friendf"
 "This way" said the old man deliberately, "he dropped spark by accident out of his pipe and it fell upon the whale. The whale ex- ploded like kerosene oil lamp, and scattered my friend from Siasconset to Tuckanoe. As it was night the. ocean was lighted up for miles, and over at Martha's Vineyard they thought that Nantucket was having its first volcano. 1 tel you the whales in the old days were Here the old Siasconseter looked 1 around to find that all his hearers had slipped softly away, the summer visitors, in all probability, over come by his graceful, easy going ! style of dealing with the truth, and his eompatriots sick to the core with 1 envy.-Detroit Free Press.

RED CROSS CONFERENCE

Representatives from Every Civillzed
Country In the World Now IA Rome.
ROME, April 23~-Th0 fifth interna-
tional conference of the Red Gross was
opened here Thursday, by the syndic ot
Rome, president OF the Italian central
committee. Delegates are present from
every civilized country in the world.
Russia's delegation is led by the Grand
Duke Alexandrovitch and GGmany's by
Prince Henry, brother of Emperor
William. Among the many delegates
were members of almost every pariia-
ment in Europe.
After the syndtc had delivered his ad-
dress of welcome, General Riciotn,
minister of wA, spoke briefly and ex-
pressed the hope that the world peeog-
nize the necessity nj keeping the peaee
and would strive toward that end.
Henry Won Kelnr amid great enthu-
siasm, announced that the King
and Queen of Italy had offered a prize
of 4. 900 francs 10 the person elabolat-
ing in essay the best plan for removing
speedily the wounded from the field f

trate walls and trees that had hitherto
served as protection to soldiers and
would pass through bodies in successive
lines of battle. The aim with the new
rifle was also truer and the rapidtty with
which successive shots could be deliver
cd surpassed anything conceived OF IN
former years SmokeleSs powder and
electric lights for illuminating fields at
night would aggravate the slaughter.
The percentage of troops wounded In
the next war, therefore. would exceed
enormously the percentage OF former
wears, The dangers of the sanitary
service would also be increased. The
slaughter in the front lines would be
tremendous, In battle IN which 49,
600 OF 90. 900 were wounded, no fewer
than | 900 stretchers and 1000 porters
would be needed, and then 1t would
take eight or nine hours rapid work t6
cover the field.
In addition TO such great force OF
porters must be reckoned the doctor
and nurses who must be more numerous
than before. 1t was for tho Red Cross
to find improvements in the sanitary
service to correspond with the improve
ments in the weapons OF warfare. TC
