It cannot be denied that the Utah
delegation to st. Louis acted in rather
a mean and petty spirit in its treat
ment of Trumbo. 1t really looks as
though the delegation were jealous
of him. 1t also seemed somewhat
spiteful toward Senator Brown.

And now it is the heir of the Earl of
Aran who is being sued for $4,000 by a

a ravishingly beautiful actress either, ac-

recall her appearance on the stage in
sundry shows in this country. The taste

Tails on the Moon.

The moon had two tails last night
long, narrow, feecy streaks of light
tx ending across the eastern sky and
fading away in the north. From the
orb they depended in slightly diverg
ing lines for some distance. Then the
lower tail dropped in graceful curve,
rising again until it intersected the
other tail, beyond which point the two
streaks of light faded gradually until
they were extinct. The moon rode
through an almost cloudless sky at 10
o'clock, at which hour the "tails" be-
came visible, and the conditions con-
tinued unchanged for over half an
hour, when light clouds intervened
When they passed away the long
streaks of white were not to be seen,
The "tais" were not the only at
traction the moon presented. 1t
showed also four broad marks Of light,
very distinct and widening toward
the ends, which radiated from the
four quarters of the disk, so that the

Ancient Marriage Customs,

Marriage celebrations and marriage
customs followed in the new world
many of the customs OF the Old World
Sack-posset, the drink OF Shakespeare's
time-a rich, thick connection Of boiled
ale, eggs and spices-was drunk at
New Fngland weddings, as we learn
from the pages of Judge SewalPs
dairy, but it didn't furnish very gay
wsssail, for the Puritan posset drink
ing was preceded and followed by the
singing Of psalms.
The bride and groom and bridal
party walked in little procession to
the meeting house on the Sabbath
following the marriage. We read in
the Sewall diary of a Sewall bride thus
coming out" as it was called in New
buryport. Cotton Mather thought il
expedlent to thus make public with
due dignity the marriage. In some
communities the attention OF the in.
terested public was further drawn to
the newly married couple in what
seems to us very comic fashion. On
the Sabbath following the wedding the
gayly dressed bride aud groom occu.
pied prominent seat in the gallery of
the meeting house, and in The middle
of the sermon they rose and turned
slowly around TO display complacently
on every side their wedding fnery.
In Larned's "History of Windham
County" Connecticut, we read a
description OF such scene in Brook.
lyn, Conn. Further attention was
paid to the bride by allowing her t.
choose the text for the sermon preach.
ed on the first Sunday OF the coming
out Of the newly married couple. Much
ingenuity was exercised in finding ap
propriate and unusual Bible texts for
these wedding sermons. The in
stances are we'll known OF the marriage
of Parson Smiths two daughters, one
OF whom selected the text. "Mary hath
chosen that good part" while the
daughter Abby, who married John
Adams, decided upon the text, "Johu
came neither eating bread nor drink
ing wine, and ye say he hath the
devil" This latter ingenious and
curious choice has given rise to an To-
correct notion that the marriage OF
Abigail Smith with John Adams was
distasteful to her father and family.
