WEDDING IN THE WOODS.

A beautiful and unique wedding oc.
Cured recently in the mountain town
of Rockland, Sullivan County, N. T.,
the details of which have just reached
the outer world. The ceremony was
performed in the woods at Clear Lake
Cottage, near Beaverkill, by the Rev.
Thomas X. Beecher, OF Elmira, n Y. 4,
a brother OF the late Henry Ward
Beecher, and the Rev. A. L. Eastman,
also of Elmira. The bride was Miss
Theresa g. Hall, who has spent the
most OF her summers at this spot, and
the bridegroom, Lyman V. W. Brown,
a Californian, who is srcat lover OF
nature and outdoor life.
The spot chosen for the wedding was
on the wooded shores of the lake,
where encirciln9 trees and vines
formed q natural audience chamber.
around which rose slopins banks o..
ferns and shrubs. A company of about
twenty friends and relatives embarked
in small boats about o'clock in the
afternoon and were rowed to this
beautiful place.
The two ministers stood on the
mossy carpet In the centre Of the spot,
with the friends grouped around them.
The bride and groom came down a
path through the woods and took their
positions before the ministers, and the
nuptial VOWS were taken.
Congratulations and good wishes
were showered upon the nowly mar
ried pair as they stepped down to the
shore. The bride took her seat in the
bow of the boat, while the husband
piled the oars, and they were soon out
of sight.
1t Was scano never TO be forgotten.
1t tpresented picture of an ideal mar
riage, celebrated in an ideal way, and
in keeping with the simple tastes and
high ideals of the bride and groom. -

The distinguished scientist, Lord
Kelvin, who has been termed the
"prince OF living PHYSICISTS" has
placed on record this confession: :
"One word characterizes the most
strenuous of the efforts for the nd.
vancement of science that | have made
perseveringly Tor ffty-five years; that
word is failure. l know no more Of
electric and magnetic force, or of the
relations between ether, electricity
and ponderable matter, or of chemical
affinity, than l knew and tried to teach
my students fifty years ago, in my
first session as professor. Yet Light
ming, q London paper, suggests that
kelyin's failures may may be more
fruitful than some mems successes. 1t
likens the modern PHYSICISTS s humility
to that of the great Newton when he
compared himself to child playing
on the beach, and adds: "fhe riddle
of The universe is scarcely nearer being
solved now than it was in 1896, and if
our mathematical tools are better
tempered than those then used, they
have tougher metal to cut"

THE SHORT GIRL,

The short girl has everything on her
side SO far as the men are concerned !;
q man feels Immediately at ease with
a short girl, and to most men that is
half the battle. The tall girl may be
more imposing, but she cannot coax
and pout, and founce into pretty pas
sions with the same execution as the
short girl. No man likes to feel him
self dwarfed by comparison with the
girl he is fond of. and here again the
small woman has decided advantage.
The short woman nee Is n protecting
arm in crowd, and she does not take
up SO much room in the street cars.

Spain is having her hands full with
her colonies, exclaims the New York
Independent. In addition to the war
in Cuba there is considerable disturb.
ance in Puerto Rica, but more serious
still is the revolt in the Philippine
Islands. For years these have been
source of much revenue to the home
Government and very little expense.
The exports of tobacco and hemp, as
well as of coffee, cotton etc, have
been very heavy, and the Government
has been o curious mixture of Spanish
despotism and local self-government.
The original inhabitants have almost
disappeared; and the Malays, who
have to a great degree taken their
place, are for the most part quiet, in
dustrious, inoflensive people. Oflate
years numbers of Chinese have come
in from Hongkong, and they and the
MestiZoes (children of Chinese fathers
and Malay mothers) form the most
aggressive clement. A number OF
these, it is supposed, in connection
with flibusters from Hongkong and
secret societies in Japan, perhaps
brought over from Formosa, have
taken advantage of the small number
of Spaniards and the weak garrison at
Manila, have raised revolt, and, so
fur as can be learned from the meager
dispatches, have seriously endangered
the Spanish rule. Troops have been
sent from Barcelona, but it will be
some time before they can reach their
destination. Merchants have been
warned against shipping goods to the
Philippines, and British war ship re-
mains Mt Manila to protect British
subjects.

The Fooa of School Chill lren.

1t is lamentable fact that too little
attention is given to the hygienic sur
roundings OF the pupils in the schools,
and by far too little to the nature OF
the food and the manner of eating.
The aim often seems to be to so pr
pare the food that ii will re luire little
or no mastication before it is swal-
lowed, and when solid food is taken it
is not sufficiently masticatod to prop
erly prepare it for the digestive
organs. Some years ago n doctor re
quested many of his patients to report
as to the number of bites it required
to masticate different foods. He
especially desired to learn how much
less children chewed the food before
swallowing it than their parents. Ho
got reports from one hundred aud
fifty intelligent people, and learned
that practice IN this regard varies
very much, that children generally
were entirely too apt to bolt their
food. To encourage tho habit of
chewing it more thoroughly, he had
advised parents to give the children
chewing gum, much to the disgust OF
many of the parents. He thought
the habit OF swallowing food before it
was properly masticated the cause OF
insufficient nourishment in many
cases. - New York Ledger.

At the congress of the deaf mutes
lately held in Geneva, the surprising
fact was developed that these unfor-
tunates in general disapprove of the
comparatively new labial system of
instruction which in many schools has
been substituted for the old method of
digital signs. Many speakers, employ
ing the latter method, argued very
lucidly against tho innovation. Only
one advocated it. The ma jority said
that the reading Of the lips never
gives to the deaf mute an exact idea
of the thought or sentiment which it
is desired to express. 1t is to them
very much MS the reading of dead
language is to those who can hear, but
can only vaguely understand it. The
digital language, they declared, was
that which was most natural to deaf
mutes. These views are a great dis
appointment to many who have sup
posed that the teaching of the labial
system was one of the greatest booms
ever bestowed upon those who can
neither hear nor talk.

THROUGH FIELDS OF CORN,

In solemn hush OF dewy morn.
What glory crowns the fields of corn!
joy and gladness in the land
The 1.-the, green ranks of beauty stand;
Broad-acred wales from hill to hill
The lifted plumes and tasssls fill,
While birds sing in the cool. sweet morn
Through fields of corn.
Like palms that shade q hidden spring
The reeded columns sway aud sing;
The breathing censers swing Away,
The loafy cymbals clash and play,
And when the breezy voices call,
The sea-grown billows rise and fall,
And music swels and joy is born
Through fields of corn.
10 ieids OF corn the summer brings
The rustling blades. the blackbird's wing,
The shariel locust's strident tune,
Aud idle ravens mocking rune,
The bobolink's exulting strain,
And cuckoo prophesying rain
In low, sweet whistle in the morn
Through fields OF corn.
In hammered fields OF corn unfurlel
God grows the mama OF tho world;
He waits to bring the yellow CLEAN,
The harvest song, the reapcr's dream;
Aud still as through the Syrian gold
OF Galilee, in days Of OLD.
He leads again this Sabbath morn
Through fields Of corn.
Benjamin F. Leggctt.
