How Are tho mighty raIlsn.

In view of the fact that Egypt was
once the center of civilization and
learning, whence science radiated to
every corner of the globe, vestiges of
Egyptian lore being found even in this
hemisphere, il is somewhat painful to
think that the only item which the land
of the Pharaohs now contributes to the
world is o1hons, which are being
shipped in huge quantities to the
United States. And to make matters
worse we are informed that the pop
ular ''baeli," as the Egyptian onion is
called, owes it's fine flavor as well as its
size to the fact that the fields in which
it is grown are fertilized with the
powdered mummies of the sages who
Ifiourished on the banks of the Nile
three thousand and four thousand years
ago.

when rney May Be Married.

In Hungary man may marry at the
age of IS and the girl at 10. In Spain,
Portugal and Greece the respective ages
are only IA for the man(?) and IL for
the prospective bride. In France he
must be IS and she Is. In Russia the
laws vary between IS and 20 for the
men and Is and 16 for the women. In
Switzerland the various cantons have
different laws, and the minimum ages
for marrying are 10 and 20 for the men
and from IS to II for girls, In Austria
and Germany men seldom marry under
21, although the law allows it at 10.
Girls may wed at 16 in these countries.
In Egypt boys at 10 are often married,
and brides of 10 and IL are not scarce
by any means. But India carries off
the palm. Here marriages are closed
in infancy, and girl of 2 is sometimes
married to a groom of or 5years.

white flowers that costs s25.
zone never sees such bouquets in
America-beautiful cascades of flowers
built on frail foundation of chiffon
and trailing from ones hand to the

huge bouquets to every function during
all seasons, so that bouquet building
has become great art with them.
SAT the glover's one must have a
vastly long pair of IS gloves, lovely

less than $40 for the service.
Reckon all those amounts up and the

Mr.. Norris might have said more, but
three o'clock rung out; game was called
and he had to go to bat. His eight dol
lars and his duty called.
Things had simmered to a system in
this business of marriage at wholesale.
The preliminary canter, as it were, con-
sisted of a fashion of wedding march
when, one after another, each couple
paraded before the preachers desk and
replied to such queries as the law pre-
scribes They did this readily.
The first couple to score were John
Jones and Della Merriman. Johns age
gained him this precedence. He was
wrinkled and bent, with wool as white

worst was over, convinced that they
were morally cured and ready to meet
on even terms any angel of their COM

questions he addressed the multitude

PRESENTED AT COURT.
An Unnamed Correspondent Who Has Had
Experience Gives an Itemized Ac-
count-Queen victoria's De-
mands Are Exacting.

A London journal quotes an unnamed
correspondent, who says that a pres
entation at Queen Victoria's draw
| ing-room requires an outlay of at least
1915. II have been to Buckingham
palace, y she says, 'for three such func-
tions, and never did it for less, which
is more than my wedding finery cost.
There are women who have done it for
less, but it's pinch and l shouldn't
like to try.
"You see, you can't go in gown that
has ever been worn before. nor in a cos
tune that is not made of the very best
materials. You can't, because you will
perish of shame when you stand in line
with women who are in the richest and
freshest that Lyons looms and French
dressmakers can turn out Any woman
has sense enough to recognize that it
is better not to go at all than go made
quately, to stand there in the fierce
light reflected from the throne. Hav-
ing this conviction firmly fastened in
your MIND, consult some French dress
maker of note in London. Trot your
self around to the smartest of the smart
English modistes and look over samples
of brocade. satin, velvet and silk, rang
ing in price from SO to So yard. If
you are an unmarried woman, any
where on the sunny side of so, you
wear white. Debutantes look at tulle,
and silk, and lace, and wreaths of
French flowers, silver embroidery,
pearls and ribbons, and middle-aged
matrons ponder over velvet, purple, red,
black, etc. Young married persons go
in for the heavier white brocades or
hrocades with colored coverings.
Now, the result of long hours of
solemn consideration among pillows of
splendid fabrics sends you contempla-
lively off-you wonder in what humor
ones obliging papa or generous hus-
band will accept the news that one can
not be made decent for court for less
than $500. One must appear as well as

Our Population in 1900.

The estimated population of the
United States in 1900, according to the
best authorities, will be 76,639,s This
estimate is made by Carroll d. Wright,
superintendent of the department Of
labor. 1t is based upon the estimates
made by well-known statisticians, the
known rates of increase and the vari-
GUS facts bearing upon the growth of
population. The population on jan
uary /, 1894, was 67,6so,740, and the
estimated growth is therefore rather
more than 1915 per cent. in six years.
