Bits of Wedding Tradition.

Knives formerly formed part of the
accouterments of bride. This is easily
accounted for by the fact that anciently
it formed part of the dress for women
to wear knife sheathed and suspended
from their girdles A bride says to her
jealous husband in Dekker's Match
Me In London" 1851:
See, at my girdle hangs my wedding knives.
With those dispatch me.
The use of bridesmaids at weddings is
of remote antiquity. Among the Anglo
Saxons the bride was led to the church
by matron, who was called the BRIDES
woman, and followed by company of
young girls, who were called bride
maids. 1t was at one time the custom
for the bridesmaids to lead the brides
groom to church, and for the bride
groom's men to conduct the bride This
is clearly alluded to in the "Collier's
Wedding:"
Two lusty lads, well drest and strong,
Step'd out to lead the bride along,
And two young maids Of equal size
AS soon the bridegrooms hands surprise.
The bridegroom IS men were anciently
called bride knights, which was an APP
propriate name at tbs period when they
actually fulfilled that Office. -Philadel-

Kent and Cox put in several charges

next morning (Friday) Cox went to
work shoveling the debris into the bot
tom OF the shaft. Kent was on the
ladder above, and saw Cox shove him
self off the ledge on which he was
standing and fall down the shaft. He
found him part way down lodged on
some projecting timbsrs in ga uncon-
scious condition. Kent lowered him TO
the bottom of the shaft and placed a
can of water by him AMI started out to
get help. When Kent returned with
another man they found Cox's body
part way up the shaft hanging to the
ladder. From all appearances, in Kent's
absence Cox had partially regained
consciousness and had attempted
to climb out of the shaft. In doing go
ne had suffered another fsll, as his right
cheek proved, and his skull was smashed
in and his right eyebrow WAS torn off.

Success.
TERMINAL ISLAND, May 20.-The ball
and reception at the pavilion Saturday
night rendered by the Palos Verdes Parlor
of the N. S. G. W. to Captain Dave
Weldt. their representative at the late
state convention held in Eureka, was
not only an exceedingly graceful and
complimentary tribute to their genial
delegate, but something which, from its
very inception to it's brilliant consum-
nation, reflected the greatest credit on
the young parlor giving it.
A large delegation of members of both
parlors from Los Angeles with their
lady friends came down on the special
train that the Terminal ran for the
occasion, and were met at the pavilion
by reception committee of The Palos
Verdes parlor OF San Pedro, whose guests
they were. The pavilion was tastefuilv
decorated with the national colors; the
flag OF Captain Weldt's pilot boat, the
Lizzie Bell W., occupying a conspicuous
place to the right OF the band platform.
The train from Los Angeles was crowded,
many having to stand, and the con-

THE FIRST PHOTOGRAPHER.
How Johann Heinrich Schulze Came to
Make q Sun Print.


The first photographer, Johann Helm
rich Schulze--often spelled Schultze-
was a professor of medicine in the Uni
versity of Halle, and he wrote a great
number Of medical works, most of
which are in the British museum libra
n.y. He was BORN at Coblitz, in the duchy
of Magdeburg, May 10, 1887. When at
school, and before he was 10 years of
age, Corvinus, the priest of his native
hamlet, was struck with his ability.
Indeed one day he found him in the gar
den studying a Greek Testament. His
father was poor tailor at Colbitz. In
1897 young Schulze was sent to the Roy
al P8dagogium at the University of
Halle to continue his education.
In 1901 he began the study Of orien-
tai languages, and in 1904 he was admit
ted into the University of Halle as a stu
dent Of medicine. He was trained by
Professors Stahl, Richter and Ecke-
brecht. He at the same time gave some
attention to antiquarian research and to
rabbinic lore. In 1908 he accepted an
appointment as teacher in the school Of
the university, and worked in it for
seven years, at the same time carrying
ON the study of several eastern dead Ian
guages. He then attracted the attention
of Frederick Hoffman, the Boerhaave OF
Germany, who engaged him to aid him
in his literary and medical work. He
made so much progress that in two years
he took the degree Of doctor Of medicine
and shortly afterward began to obtain
public reputation because of his medical
writings. After his marriage in 1870
to a relative of Corvinus he was ap-
pointed professor Of anatomy at the Uni
versity of Altdorf
In 1929 he was appointed professor Of
Greek, and later on that of Arabic. The
Prussian government in 1882 appointed
him professor of elocution and antiqui-
ties at the University of Halle. IN 173e
he was nominated foreign member OF
the Academy Of Sciences at st. Peters
burg as successor to Bayer, and in 1877
he was professor Of theology at Halle.
He died Oct. 10, 1744. Schulze was the
first to print an image of an object by
the agency of light. In 1877 he poured
nitrate of silver upon chalk, proving that
its darkening in sunlight was due tt
light and not to heat. Then he printed
upon the deposit the image of a piece o.
string tied round the containing glass
This was the first photograph ever tax
en- in the world. Next he pasted printed
matter round the glasses containing thu
deposits and photographed words anc
sentences. st. Louis Dispatch.

A PLAGUE FROM EUROPE
The "PHYP0PTUS PYRI" COME
10 WITHER BARTLETT PEARS.
The Sacramento Valley Discovered q
Bo Invaded by an Industrious Mite
That Claims Pear Orchards
as Its Own.

The terrible phytoptus pyri has come.
1t is the latest plague visited upon the
California horticulturist, who will now
have to buy moro sulphur, says the
San Francisco Examiner.
1t is an entirely new pest here. II
was never heard of on the Pacific coast
until month ago, when Alexander
Craw, entomoogist of the state board OF
horticulture, received from the upper
Sacramento valley some pear leaves that
were discolored and withered Mr.
Crow got his most powerful microscope
into operation, hunted through a lot OF
foreign reports and scientific books and
found that he had the phytoptus pyri
He beheld the insect for the first time
In California.
he at once correaponded with owners
OF pear orchards all over the Sacramento
valley and elsewhere, and has found
that the peat has already spread by mil
lions over the Upper Sacramento, and
he secured some specimens from Idaho.
La the natural course of events the pest
will spread over the entire state.
The phytoptus pyri is microscopic
gall mite, called the pear leaf blister
mite. 1t cannot be seen with the naked
eye except on a bit OF clear glass held up
in the light, when it appears as minute
speck. 1t is not as long by considerable
as the diameter OF hair. 1t has some
queer habits of life. Except when trav-
cling it can never be found except on
leaves OF a pear tree, which are exclu-
slvely its home. l. is long, shrimp-like
insect that lives in caves in the leaves
1t burrows into the pulp of the leaves
between the under and upper sides,
and then feeds and multiplies. A colony
will work out an excavation which be-
comes slight puff or dark-colored gall
on the leaf from q speck to an eighth of
an inch in size. One leaf will become
spotted with these gals and all the
leaves on a tree will soon become
affected. The mite keeps open hole
| for doorway On the under eide OF the
leaf. The leaves become dead and the
fruit drops off or fails to mature. One
of the mites many cousins is the ply
toplus olivarus, or orange-rust mite,
which has so far been kept out OF Cali
fornia, but which turns thousands of
Florida oranges rusty brown.
This enemy of the pear tree comes
from Europe. 1t is serious pest both
| there and in Australia. As California
| nurserymen get practically all their
| p, o stock from France, it undoubtedly
has come from that country in spite OF
/ rigid distinction. Mr.. Craw will issue
bulletin soon telling about the pear
leaf blister mite and how to save pear
crops with sulphur fumes.

There is one specially good feature Of
the bath honae which many might not
note. Namely, the wash and dry rooms,
which are as near perfection as human
ingenuity can command, backed by a
liberal purse. 1t will hereafter make no
difference how big the crowd, all can get
suits and dry ones too, with dry towels
etc. thrown in. This heretofore has
been a convenience lacking on rush
days, but with their $500 suits and
patent washers and dryers at work, it is
only few moments to have suit clean

ture, and those who do not like the surf
