new home
GRETNA GREEN was commonly chosen.
for place of marriage by English
runaway couples. as it was the first
village across the border ON the west
coast road, and the laxity OF Scottish
marriage laws allowed almost any
kind of ceremony.
The Rarens of Burmah have their
marriages at funeral feast. When

porarily disposed of until one or more
marriages can be arranged. when they

WHEN a Chinese girl is married her
attendants are always the oldest and
ugliest women to be found in the

NIGH GROWTH.

Natures Best Work Is Done During the
Hours of RepOse.
It is a curious fact that night is the
time which nature utilities for growth.
Plants grow much more in the night
than in the daytime, as can be proved
any time by measurement. Measure a
vine at night, then measure il
again in the morning. and the
next night, and it will be found
that the night growth is two
or three times that accomplished dur
ing the day. During the day the plant
is very busy gathering nourishment
from various sources. and during the
night this raw material is assimilated
into the plant life.
The same fact is true of the animal
during the night. In the daytime.
while the child is awake and active.
the system is kept busy disposing of
the wastes consequent on this activity;
but during sleep the system is free to
extend its operations beyond the mere
replacing of WORKOUT particles; hence
the rapid growth.
This is why so many lnvalids need so
much rest and sleep. The system has
been taxed for years beyond its ability
to repair the tissues. and hence the or
ganism has become worn and disabled
from the accumulation of waste prod
ucts, and disease has resulted. With
the proper conditions restored and a
dense of perfect rest. nature viii re-
assert herself, clearing up the clogged
and dirty tissues and restoring the or
