The case altered.

The sort of sentiment which the
French system of marriages de conve-
nance, or in plain English, of marriage
for money, produces is well illustrated
by story which French paper tells.
Marie, young lady, announces to
her parents that she has accepted the
hand of Monsieur Y.
Child, you are crazy" exclaims Ma
rie's mother.
But why, mamma?'
"Young Y will have no money for
many years, because it all belongs to
his grandfather, and after that comes
his father and you will be old before
you get at the property"
But, mamma"
"No butts about it-you are bad and
undutiful childw
But, mamma, it is the grandfather
whom I've accepted"
"The grandfather! Oh, you little

The marriage of the Gar Nicholas of
Russia and Princess Alix of Hesse-
Darmstardt took place at st. Peters
burg at the winter palace amid n scene
of picturesqueness and splendor which
well-nigh defies description. The i'm
perial bride was attired in white, with
mantle of purple velvet, lined with
ermine, falling from the shoulders and
flowing in very long train, which was
borne by four court dignitaries, the
grand chamberlain holding the ex-
tIeme end. She wore, on entering the

that 1t is supposed to have contained
about 160,000,000 cubic meters of solid
masonry, we may gain some idea of the
enormous labor involved in its con-
struction. But it did not take very
great many years to build it. The
Emperor Chi Hoangti was very sure he
needed that wall when he began the
great work twenty-one centuries ago.
1t cost as much in human life and treas
ure as great war, and cost all the
more because so much haste was made
to erect it. Several hundred thousand
men are believed to have perished
while they were at work on the wall
which was to be at once protection
against their country's enemies and a
memorial of their martyrdom.

church, long white veil over her face,
and nearly touching the ground. A
few sprays Of orange blossoms orna-
mented her dress, and she wore n small
crown Of diamonds, diamond necklace,
etc. The marriage service was pre-
ceded by that known as the espousals,
during which the bride and bridegroom
exchange rings. This having been COM
pleted, a rich silken carpet was laid
down In front of the bridal pair. To
this carpet the priest conducted the
bride and bridegroom, holding lighted
tapers, and while the choir chanted the

Paris Ever Famous.

Paris was a famous and cultivated
city ages before Venice. If we search
for them, we may find in il historical
associations that may vie with those of
any city in the world, except Rome and
Constantinople; and even its antigua
rian and artistic remains are seldom
equaled or surpassed. At Rome, Flor
ence, or Venice, the tourist talks of old
churches, palaces, and remains; at
Paris he gives himself up to the boule-
wards, the theaters, shops, and races.

any of the original wall Is shown in
the picture, for this sketch is in the

the priest addressed the pair. Special
prayers and litanies followed and on
their conclusion the priest took the two
crowns of gold and precious stones,
which, during this portion of the SER
vice, had been held over the heads of
the bride and bridegroom by grand
dukes, who officiated alternately at in
tervals of few moments in this capac-
ity, so that all the grand dukes took
part in this portion of what was from
first to last solemn and striking cere-
monial. After another prayer he
placed one crown upon the head of the
Gar and similarly crowned the bride.

Do Not Sleep on the Left Side.
There is little doubt that an immense
number of persons habitually sleep on
the left side, and those who do so can
never, it is said, be strictly healthy. II
is the most prolific cause of nightmare,
and also of the unpleasant taste in the
mouth on arising in the morning. All
food enters and leaves the stomach on
the right side, and hence sleeping on the
left side soon after eating involves a
sort of pumping operation, which is
anything but conducive of sound re-
pose. The action of the heart is also
seriously interfered with and the lungs
unduly compressed. Hence it is best to
cultivate the habit of always sleeping
on the right side, although Sandow and
other strong men are said to invaria-
bly, sleep on their backs.

Long Time Making an Appointment.

The State Superintendent OF Free
Schools, on whom is devolved the duty
of appointing music teacher at Shep-
herd College, has so far failed to make
the appointment. Last year there
were both vocal and instrumental
teachers, but the board of regents last
summer determined, we understand,
to have one teacher to fill both posi-
tons, authorizing Superintendent Lew
is to make the appointment. He has
for some unexplained reason failed to
name teacher, though there have
been several competent applicants for
the place who would have accepted his
own terms. The indifference, or negh-
gence, OF whatever it may be, of Su-
perintendent Lewis is an injury to the
school. Itadvertises course IN music
and it was by direction of the board OF
regents that music was made part OF
the course. It is to be hoped that the
State Superintendent will soon appoint
some one to the position.

A shepherdstowner in Distress.

The Morning Journal, published at
Hannibal, Mo-, of a week or two ago
contained a letter written by j. A.
Wilson from Cincinnati, III which he
speaks of man named Hiram Virgin
ius Miller, Is years old, who was born
in Shepherdstown. Mr.. Wilson says
that Mr.. Miller, who is in Cincinnati,
is very poor and about homeless, and
as he is old and feeble cannot make a
living. He said he had son in Han
nibal, Mo-, and three married daugh-
tiers in the same section of country,
but was too proud to go to them or to
apply for help. The writer of the let
ter goes on to say that the old man
evidently contemplates suicide as the
only way out of his troubles. Mr..
Benz. Hartzell, of this place, has the
paper containing the letter. J. A.
Wilson, who wrote it, is now in Boons-
boro, Nd.

to be the Hiram Miller who was a
