A PEASANT WEDDING.

Mrs. Alec Tweedie, in her journey
ings through Finland, appears to have
displayed happy aptitude for forming
friendly relations with all sorts and
conditions Of people. At one peasant
cottage of the poorest sort, where she
stopped to buy a bowl Of milk, she fell
into conversation with its mistress, a
very clean and apparently very aged
woman, clad in short serge skirt, a
loose white chemise and a striped
apron of many colors-these simple
garments being all of her own weav-
ing. Over her head she wore black
cashmere kerchief. Her face might
have belonged to a woman of a hun
dred or witch of ancient times, it
was so wrinkled and tanned; her
hands were hard and horny; and yet,
after half an hours conversation, we
discovered she was only about fifty
five. Hard work, poor food and life
in dark, ill-ventilated, smoky cottages
age the peasants fast; at seventeen
many girl begins to look like an old
woman. The old, or middle-aged,
woman was a cheerful and friendly
soul, and was soon beguiled, by the
hanging in sight, into narrating an
episode Of family history. 1t had been
one of the presents given by her son
on his marriage, to his groomsman.
He had married a girl Of another vii
lage-asking her hand in accordance
with immemorial Finnish custom,
through puhemies, or spokesman, a
kind of preliminary best man, who
must do all the talking while the suit
or himself sits dumb. Being accepted,
he exchanged rings with his betrothed
and gave her father the usual kihlarat.
What is that?" the visitor asked.
''Why, it is a sort of deposit given to
the girls father to show he really
means to marry the girl-a COW or
something of that sort" A two
years engagement, during which the
young people were earning their house
hold equipment, was followed by
grand wedding, celebrated, as usual in
Finland, at the bridegroom's house.
at is a very expensive thing to get
married." said the mother, "and my
son had to give many presents to the
father-in-law, mother-in-law, brides
maids and groomsmen. To all the
brides maids he gave stockings, that
being the fashion of our country; to
the groomsmen he gave shirts; to his
mother-in-law a dress; to the father
in-law belt, and to other friends head
handkerchiefs. In short, she confessed
that the occasion was very serious
drain upon the family resources. "But,
oh, it was lovely time," she added.
"a wedding is a splendid thing. We
had a feast all one day and the next,
and then the priest came and they
were married. Every one we knew
came from miles around. Some
brought can of milk, and some of them
brought corn brandy, and others
brought porridge, and Johansen had
been to town, so he brought back with
him some white bread. Aye, it was a
grand feastl We danced and ate and
sand and made merry for two days,and
then we all walked with my son and
his bride to that little cottage on the
other side of the wood and left them
there, where they have lived ever
since"

WASHINGTON, July 9-The navy de-
partment has been informed that a
Spanish privateer, carrying five guns,
is lowering off the coast of British Co
lumbia. According to last accounts
the privateer was between Prince Char
lotte Sonnd and Dixon's entrance. In
structions have been sent to the mill
tary authorities of the northwest coast
to prepare for o visitation.
San FRANCISCO, July 9.-The report
from Washington that Spanish priva-
teer is hoveriag off the coast of British
Columbia is not credited here. Some
time ago it was reported that a man
named Brown had cabled from Victoria
to the Spanish authorities at Madrid
asking for letters Of marque to fit out a
priyateer and prey upon the treasure
ships coming from the KlondiBe.
The steamers Roanoke and st. Paul
are due to arrive almost any day from
st. Michaels with big shipments of
treasure to the North American Trad
ing and transportation companies and
the Alaska Commercial company. The
steamer Lelanaw is also due with re-
turning prospectors and their cleanups.

ADMIRATION FOR CERVERA.
Government Not Decided What to ID,
With the Old Admiral.


With the Old Admiral.
WASHINGTON, July 9.-The govern
ment has not yer determined how to
dispose of Admiral Ceryera. A feeling
of the highest admiration prevails here
at the gallantry displayed by the old
warrior and the noble spirit exhibited
by him under misfortune. The dispo-
sition is to treat him with as great lib
crafty as conditions will permit.
1t has been proposed that he be re-
leased on parole not to engage in hos
tilities against the United States until
the end of the war, but it has not yet
been decided whether to do this or to
confine the admiral technically within
t5le limits of the naval academy reser-
walton at Anna polls. All the other
captured Spanish naval officers will he
confined there save the surgeons, who
will be allowed to remain with the en-
listed men Us the prison station at
Seayy' island, Portsmouth harbor, New
Hampshire.

hardly walk, was picked up by men
from the United States gunboat An
napolis yesterday at point near the
entrance to the upper bay. He had no
rifle and he was too weak to have car

are many spanish soldiers in Guantan-
Rmo in the same condition of starva-
lion.
He says there is absolutely nothing to
eat there, but that the Spaniards are
daily told that if they surrender to the
Americans they are sure to be muir
dered.
A capt n and three privates from
Baracoa came i'll the bay yesterday in a
small sailboat and were picked up by
the cruiser Marblehead. They were os-
tensibly greatly surprised and claimed
not to have known that the bay was in
the possession of the Americans. They
report that there is a great scarcity of
food at Baracao and that the Spanish
troops there are in bad shape.
Over 1000 rations for reconcentra-
dos have been landed across the bay by
Commander McCalla of the Marble
head, and the half starved Cubans are
foclsing in from the hills for food.

Nervousness is the frequent cause
OF much misery and suffering, one OF
the effects Of this breaking up Of the
nerves, particularly among young
people, being chorea or ST. Vitus'
dance. A correspondent tells of
young lady at Selby (Canads) who
was badly afflicted with this trouble.
He says; 81 never saw anyone suffer
ing so badly before from nervous dis
order. She was violently jerking
and twitching all the time, and
could not use her right hand at all
Anything she would try to pick up
with it would instantly fall. When
she would attempt to walk, her
limbs would twist and turn, the
ankle often doubling down and
throwing her. Lately | heard that
she had been cured but doubted the
truth of the statement and went out
to see her. The statement proved
quite true, and believing that re-
cital Of the facts OF the case would
be OF advantage to some one who
might be similarly suffering, l asked
permission to make them known.
which was readily granted. The
young lady is Miss II. M. Gonyou, a
general favorite among her acquain-
tances, and it is thought that her
trouble, as it is not infrequently the
case, was brought on by hard study
in school," Miss Gonyou gave the
following statement: "All through
the fall OF 1894 l had been feeling
unwell. | did not speak to anyone
about it for | was going to school
aud was afraid if | said anything
about it to my parents they would
keep me at home. kept getting
worse, and at last grew so nervous
that / could not hold my pencil. My
right side was affected most, though
the trouble seemed to go through
my whole system. In January

going to school, and | was con-
stantly growing worse. l could not
use my hands, because l would let
everything drop, and frequently
when | attempted to walk, l would
fall. My brother had been ailing
for long time and was then using
DR.. Williams Pink Pills and getting
better, SO l thought as they were
helping him so much they would be

much better, and after using the
pills for about month, my health
