A WONDERFUL WEDDING.
Ten Thousand Couples We're United in Mar
riage Al One Time.

The largest and most remarkable
wedding since the world began took
place at Susa. When the great Alex
ander had conquered Persia, wishing
to unite victors and vanquished by the
strongest ties possible, he decreed a
wedding festival. Now guess how
many people he ordered to be married.
You could never do it. Well, Alex
ander himself was to marry Statira,
the daughter of Darius; 100 of his
chief officers were to be united to
ladies from the noblest Persian and
Medean families, and 10000 of his
Greek soldiers were to marry 10000
Aslatic o,2o2 people mar
ried at once.
l don't see how they managed to
get up feast for SO many, but they
did and for vast multitude of guests
besides. They had the most splendid
arrangements. On plain near the
city vast pavilion was erected on
pillars 60 feet high. 1t was hung and
spread with the richest tissues, while
the gold and precious stones orna
mented it would have made your eyes
blink.
Adjoining this building were 100
gorgeous chambers for the hundred
bridegrooms, while for the remaining
10000 an outer court was enclosed
and hung with costly tapestry, and
tables were spread outside for the
multitude. A separate seat was as
signed each pair, and all were ar
ranged in a semi-circle on either hand
of the royal throne Each bridegroom
had received golden vessel for his
llbation, and when the last of these
had been announced by trumpets to
the multitudes without, the brides
entered the banquet hall and took
their places.
And now don't you think each
bridegroom stood up separately and
vowed, "NVith this ring | now thee
We'd" and SO on. No, the ceremony
was very simple; the king gave his
hand to Statira and kissed her as his
wife, and the other bridegrooms fol
lowed his example.

Railroaders Have Their Markers.

All railroad men who are properly
acquainted with their division on VIII ch
they they run have their "markers," :"
and many of these old markers are
fast disappearing to make room for
Improvements of all kinds. Engineers
have their markers at different points
for shutting Off when desiring to
make regular stop. The marker
may be building, tree, stump or
stone. Brakemen take advantage of
these markers also in their line of
business, and they are an indispe. ..sible
article to the success of the engineer
and flagman at night and In heavy
fogs. By the old land or road marks
railroad men know just where tney
are under all circumstances. A man
can ne fixed up in a fog on the rail
road Just the same as a man at sea or
anywhere else. Some may think
these queer statements, nevertheless
they are true.

Miners as Mail Carriers.

A free delivery system is in vogue
in the mining districts of the Rocky
mountains, though the portal authori-
ties have nothing to do with it. From
every mountain, post Office trails di-
verge up every draw and gulch. A
miner setting out for his cabin, perched
somewhere far up on mountain, will
take with him all the mail belonging
to his neighbors, though they may
live miles from his place.
AT each turning point a small box
will be found nailed securely to the
trunk of stout old pine tree, and
upon this box is scrawled the names
of all the miners who must pass that
tree in going to their respective cabins.
Into this box the last man from town
deposits all the mail belonging to
miners living up that particular gulch.
From that gulch a miner will occasion
ally descend for mail, and as he returns
to his trail he deposits IN turn the
several pieces of mail in other boxes
placed at convenient points. In this
way one man can save many weary
step to the other miners who live out
the long winters in the very heart Of
the Rocky mountains. Small errands
are done in a similar manner.
Money, tobacco and other notions
in light weight is always properly re-
spected and the mission fulfilled, no
matter how much the snowshoe pedes-
trian may be under the influence of
good fellowship as he returns from
town after an hour with jolly com
panions.

FEMININE ORANKS.
Three Sisters Who Only Talk to Each Other
Once a Year.

There is, in Tennessee, a family Of
three sisters which presents sonhe Of
the most startling peculiarities imagin-
able. The three sisters, all of whom
are old maids, live together on farm,
their sole means of subsistence, and
work early and late to earn liveli-
hood. Two Of them work in the field;
the third does the cooking and other
housework.
There is but one period of the year
when any member ofthe trio has any
thing to say to any other member. All
during the Winter, Spring, and Sum
mer they 60 about their business with
the seal of silence on their lips. When
Fall comes and the crop is harvested,
they break the silence, and then only
to quarrel over the division of the
proceeds. When each has succeed
cd in getting all that she thinks posi-
bic, silence reigns again until the next
harvest time. The sisters have made
name for themselves They are
known far and near as the "dcaf and
dumb triplets," although this title is
scarcely appropriate.

Here is an idea for a teagown, trifie
elaborate, perhaps. but none the less
lovely, for that. 1t is of white satin,
having Watteau plait and a long
train in the back. The neck is cut
square in both front and back, and 1t is
fastened with diamond buttons. Long,
flowing ends Of white chiffon fall from
the lowcut throat to the very edge of
the skirt.
How very often smart gown is ut
terly ruined by the wearing Of an ugly
hat or Inappropriate gloves. Much Of
this the fault ofindiscriminate shop
ping. One thing chosen without refer
ence to the other, with conglomeration
as the result. It's wonderfully good

worn in ones purse. Try the effect
OF 1t with the gloves. and lots Of trou-
BILE will be saved.

Light the gum with a match. As the

A shelf over the door in a dining
room Is an excellent place for large and
highly colored pieces of china, which
may thus be made very ornamental
TO the room. Many of the new houses
are finished with c narrow shelf around
The dininG-room walls at the height
of the door; 1t is intended for plaques.
A hanging bookshelf may be render
ed more ornamental If made with the
lower shelf extending on either side
so as to form a bracket for a vase or

to construct one with a small supboard
enclosing the two lower shelves, or with
portions of two shelves irregularly
rallied off to hold curios.
Palms, rubber plants, and foliage
plants used in the house should have a

leaces, and cannot grow well unless
they are kept free from dust

We live in a country of which the
principal scourge is stomach-trouble.
1t is more widespread than any
other disease, and, very nearly more
dangerous.
One thing that makes it SO danger
Gus is that it is so little understood,
If it were better understood, it
would be more feared, more easily
cured, less universal than it is now.
So, those who wish to be cured,
take Shaker Digestive Cordial, be-
cause it goes to the root ofthe trouble
as no other medicine does. The pure,
harmless, curative herbs and plants,
of which 1t is composed, are what
render it SO certain and, at the same
time, SO gentle cure.
1t helps and strengthens the sto-
mach, purifes and tones up the sys-
tenn.
