MARRIED MILES APART.
But the Obligation is Binding to
the Man and Woman.

The oldest marriage in the history of
South Africa has just taken place at
Pretoria and in Holland. The bride and
the groom were the trifle of 5000 miles
apart, and yet all the clergy of the
world could not make the tie between
them more strong than it is to-day The
circumstances surrounding the case
make it almost an international mar
riage. The bridegroom was Ernest Van
Trotsenburg, the head of the State Tel
egraphic Department. The bride was
Miss f. H. Morsman, a resident of Am
sterdam, Holland 1t was, in fact, a
marriage by proxy with the aid of the
cable. The circumstances were so odd
that they are we'll worth relating in de-
tail.
All arrangements for the marriage
had been made by letter and cable the
time having been agreed upon the diff
ference in time between Pretoria and
Amsterdam being allowed for, and each
party knew at a certain moment just
exactly where the other was, and what
it was prepared to do. In the hotel
Kruger the bridegroom and his friends
met. a wire from the cable had been
run to the room, and the arrangement

sible to secure direct connection with
Amsterdam, and therefore it was almost
as easy for the bride and the groom
to speak to each other as if they had
been in adjoining rooms with the door
open.
There were ten friends accompanying
the bridegroom, who sat beside the little
table of the cable operator. and when
the proper moment came sent message
saying that he was all ready and anx-
ious to become the husband of the
young woman. Mr.. Van Trotsenburg
knew that in her pleasant home in Am
sterdam Miss Morsman and a party of
friends We're awaiting the cable from
him TO begin the ceremony. The bride

proxy at the wedding. This proxy

A Law of the Badger Hen.

We have read of Maud on summer
day. who raked, barefooted, the new
mown hay; we have read of the maid
in the early morn, who milked the cow
with the crumpled horn, and we've read
the laws that the poets sing, of the
rustling corn and the flowers of spring;
but of all the lays of tongue or pen,
there's naught like the lays of the
Badger hen. Long, long before Maud
rakes her hay, the Badger hen has be-
gun to lay, and ere the milkma1d stlrS
a peg, the hen is up and has dropped
her egg The corn must rustic ana
flowers must spring if they hold their
own with the barnyard ring Il Maud
is needing hat and gown she doesn't
hustle her hay to town; she goes to
the store and obtains her SUIT with
basketful of fresh hen fruit. II the
milkmaid's beau makes Sunday call,
she doesn't feed him on milk at all, put
works up eggs in custard pie and stuffs
him full of chicken fry; and when the
old man wants a horn, does he take the
druggist a load of corn? Not much!
He simply robs a nest and HES him
townward-you know the rest. His
poor wife stays at home and scowls, but
is saved from want by those self-same
fowls; for while the husband fingers
there, she watches the cackling hen
with care, and gathers eggs, and the
eggs she'll hide till she gets enough to
stem the tide. Then hail, all hail 10

ing to the bridegroom, while the bride
took hold of the, other end.
1t is this feature of the marriage by
proxy which gives it its name. ''the
glove marriage" One of the numerous
technicalitieS of the Dutch marriage
law renders the holding of the glove an
absolute necessity. If this action is
omitted, the marriage is not legal. Only
two cablegrams are necessary nova
days, one stating that the bridegroom
is ready to begin. and the other from
the bride saying that all is over and that
the change of name has been success
fully accomplished. Then the bride has
a wedding breakfast, at which the
proxy, who is really the best man, as
ssts her. After that, the young wife
goes aboard the steamer and sets out for
the land in which her husband dwells.
In this instance, the wedding break
fast at Amsterdam was an exceedingly
elaborate affair, and the dinner given by
the bridegroom in Pretoria was one Of
the most notable events of the sort that
has occurred in many a long day. Both
events were rendered more Joyful by
Ethe constant exchange of cablegrams.
In this way a regular conversation was
received and sent, and words that were
relative to future bliss were whispered
into the ears of groom and bride
through the medium of electricity.
The practice of marriage by prcyy
dates back to the old Dutch Colonial
days. In those times it was quite r
fashion for the young colonist to so to
far-away land to found a home, and
then, when he had laid that foundation
to send back to the old country for the
fraulien who had promised to be his be-
fore he left his native soil.
Mr.. Van Trotsenburg had expected to
return to Holland to be married at a GER
tain time, but business events trans
pired which rendered such journey an
inpossibility. He was in despair until
someone suggested the proxy marriage,
and then the way seemed smo 0tn. So
it is that Mr.. Van Trotsenburg has his
cake and has eaten it, too. He has not
neglected his business, bat he has a
wife, who will probably be with him be-
fore these words are printed.-New
York Herald.

NEW ZEALAND DOGS.
Remarkable Intelligence shown In
Their Care of sheep.

New Zealand is a country that relies
largely upon the labor of dogs, as OPP
posed to the toll of men. a man with
several dogs, trained one and all to
4 proper pitch, can cope with the du-
ties of a large number of men without
dogs in any work that is purely pas
toral.
Last year sheep dogs were an inn
portant factor in the care of 100000
sheep, which produced so,OoO,OOO
pounds of wool. The dogs are almost
as great sight as the sheep on the
four annual events of mastering, named
respectively shearing muster (Noyem-
ber), stragglers' muster february,
weaving muster (March), autumn mus
ter (May). The muster of every sheep
On the run is imperative, and those are
rare exceptions where less than four
musters are deemed sufficient. A mus

nearly as possible the men work in line.
within sight of each other. The top
man drives the sheep gradually down
to the man below him, who passes
them on till they reach the man work
ing the flats. There is no precise rule.
as each man can keep his mob of sheep
till the beat is mustered. All this time
the dogs have been working in every
course on the beat, not en- masse, but
each in his own sphere, as the shepherd
commands. Should he have half a dozen
dogs, they should comprise two "head-
h,g" or "leading" dogs, two driving"
OF "huntaways" and two handy dogs.
The handy" dog is a dog able to turn
its attention witt equal eNactness to
anything. There is little erring; once
his education is accomplished his own
er can depend upon him in any crisis.
The dogs used in this colony on sheep
farms are selected from Scots and Ger
man collies, and the Smithfield sheep
dogs, and vary as much in size and class
as they do in price. a dog fitted for the
capabilities of a small farm should be
purchased for a sovereign, while men
who are in residence on back county
