Peter the Great. Zotof. His Dwarf, and the
Dwarf's Marriage.
! In 171O, Zotof and his royal master
arranged a wedding between two
dwarfs. This was celebrated at st.
Petersburg with great show and parade.
Zotof, as a high official, was head and
front of the performance. It took a
long time TO prepare for this great
event. Invitations to the wedding were
sent out several months before the da tie
appointed for the ceremony. and all
the courtierS and ambassadors were
hidden TO the marriage of this tiny
man and woman. All the dwarfs liv-
ing within two hundred miles of the
capital were commanded to be present.
The bride and groom rode on an ele-
plant under canopy; some OF the
midgets followed on camelS. or rode in
sledgeS carved in the shape of various
animals. Many of the vehicles con-
tanned a dozen Gwarfs at a time. Some
of these small people did not like the
idea of being hidden or commanded in
this way. OF course the procession of
dwarfs was followed to the city by
laughing mob, and the pigmies object
ed to being made sport of: but Peters
word was law, and he punished the dis
obedient ones by making them wait
at the banquet on those who were
docile.
Seventy dwarfs sat down 10 table,
besides the tiny bride and bridegroom,
who were richly adorned in the height
of tho o-ar.iIir1or Ruucian unoJa ZptoF
took care that everything provided for
this marriage should be of suitable
size. A low table was set with small
dishes, glasses, plates, and other ar
ticles, all arranged according to the
size of the guests. The dwarfs, we
are told, contended with much pride
and gravity as to which should be
first, but it was finally settled that
the smallest should take the lead; and
then there arose disputes, as none OF
them would admit he was smaller than
the others. The car, who was pres
ent. finally interfered, order was re-
stored, and the banquet proceeded.
Dancing followed. The bridegroom,
who was thirty-eight inches high,
opened the ball with a minuet. The
company soon followed the example Of
the groom, and entered into the dance
ing with great spirit, and after all
their trouble, became very gay and
had a good time generally.
As has been before remarked, Peter
was very fond of the pygmy tribe, and
at the funeral of one who had long
been attached to his court, twenty
four male and twenty-four female
tdwarfs walked in procession, followed
by the emperor in person and his min
listers and guards. / never heard of
his being cruel to a dwarf, although
he frequently made sport of them. and
his love for practical joking was so
great that even Zotof did not always

a Washington woman Whose Taste for

A comical experience of a friend of

other women who mediate defving the
milliner by original methods of bonnet
trimming.
Looking from her window one Sun
day morning when tie tulip trees were
in bloom, it flashed upon her mind
that one of those yollow and green
striped buds would be just the touch Of
color needed at the back of her new
black lace bonnet, the present som Der
pess of which did not please her. Two
buds were finally secured. and nestled
down in the lace, where the effect was
eminertly satisfactory.
Pleased with the result of her ex-
pedient, the bonnet was donned. and
my friend serenely made her way dow n
the aisle to her pew in blissful uncon
sciousness of the sensation she was to
create ere she left the church As the
service progressed all thought of the
tulip bud passed from her mind as com
pletely as though 1t had never existed
to tempt her errant fancy.
Gradually, however. She became con
scious that a great amount Of sur
pressed laughter was going on in her
immediate vicinity during the sermon.
Annoyed that she should have her at

All TO no purpose. however. for after
each such silent rebUl5e the evidences

turned home at the conclusion OF the
service, and. while descanting 10 her
family upon the irreverent behavior of
the people behind her in church, she

As she did 50 she gave a gasp. for the
