An Egyptian Bride.

At the marriage in Egypt of Prin-
cess Minet Hanen, sister of the Khe-
dive, the bride came in preceded by a
woman musician all dressed in white
satin. She was supported by two
bridesmaids. Her gown was of white
satin, but one corld scarcely see the
material because of the heavy gold
embroidery. Hcr neck and arms were
simply covered with diamonds, and on
her head she wore high crown of pre-
cious stones, to which was attached her
vail Of silk and gold. On either side Of
her head were ornaments of gold and
jewels. with heads of gold reach
ing to the ground. of such weight that
the bridesmaids had to carry them.
She was one Of the most beautiful
women ever seen, and when she was
seated on the throne it was a picture.
She and her surroundings were beau
tiful beyond description. When she re-
tired the Khedive stood on the throne
and threw newly-coined money among
the ladies for luck.

Grandma's Wedding Gown.

Grandma's Wedding Gown.
Lo! here is grandma, just stepped
down
From the picture on the wall,
Dressed in her famous wedding gown
To attend the fancy ball!
No wrinkle mars her dear, sweet face,
She looks with cheeks aglow,
Just as she looked, in pearls and lace,
Seventy years ago!
No wonder she was worshiped then
In all the countryside!
No wonder hearts were broken when
She wore this gown. a bride!
And o! tonight she's just as fair,
AS when she wore it so,
With girdled waist and powdered hair,
Seventy years ago!
The satin, once of spotless white,
Is yellowed with the years;
The veil that fell in folds of light
Is stained, but not with tears;
For grandma's life was one long May,
AS free from i'll and woe
AS was her perfect wedding day,
Seventy years ago!
Tonight, in all her youth and grace,
For all to praise that see,
The old love-light upon her face,
She comes to dance with me.
All, rose so like the parent flower!
Full soon our love shall know
The Joy that crowned her bridal hour
Seventy years ago!

years that they have developed such

But it is not surprising that Mrs.
Davis and her sisters should have such
browning glory" to boast Of, for the
mother of this interesting family had
hair that dangled FIVE feet from the
crown of her head. Mrs. Davis seems
to have lived all her life among long
haired people, for her sister-in-law,
with whom she now resides at the
Union hotel in the PotrerO, has over
four feet of hair, and her niece. little
girl, scarcely three years old. has a
braid twenty-0ne inches in length,

does penance when the comb is applied.

with very fine hairs, and soon re-

insurance company on record. They
declare in a circular letter that the old

the adventists because no provision is

when men are bodily carried up into

zone morning when l reported at
Headquarters the chief said that re-
tired business man, who lived on one OF
the cross streets near Fifth avenue,
wanted him to send up one of his men
to investigate into the loss of valuable
diamond. The chief assigned me to the
job, and in half an hour l was at the
house.
This is the story as the man gave 1t
to me. He was widower, and among
his deceased wifes jewels was pair or
large diamond earrings. Having no use
for them he had tried to sell them, but
the diamond dealers would not give
him more than half their cost, so he ad-
vertised them.
THE next day Pine street broker,
whose name he mentioned, and whom
l knew well, called on him and looked
ut the stones. He took quite a fancy
to them, but said he only wanted one
of them, which he intended to have set
as scarf pin. The owner fixed price
upon it--something like twelve hun
dred dollars. The broker did not object
to the price, but wanted to have the
stone passed upon by jeweler, say
ing he would send check for 1t If the
report was favorable. He took the stone
away with him.
''The day following the broker called
upon the owner Of the diamond and in.
