HOW CANYONS WERE FORMED.
The Deep Gullies Are Due to the Ac-
ton of Rivers Through Count
less Ages.

The secret of the great denuda ton
and OF this wonderful achievement of
the Colorado in carving out of rock
series Of canyons about 500 miles
long. and, in one place at least, more
than a mile deep, with s multitude of
tributary chasms and gorges, is very
simple, when you know it, says Har-
per's Magazine. The old lake bed
slowly rose. AT first the Colorado river
nnd its tribute ries, or some nameless
monstrous ancestor of these, sweep
Ing over the slowly rising surfaces,
planed them down in most relentless
fashion, and then began wearing out
broad shallow stream beds. But then
the country rose more rapidly, and the
water had to cut deeper channels In
the rocks in order to get out and away
to sea. Owing in part to the wear
OF the water itself, but more to the
ceaseless bombardment Of the sus-
pended sand which 1t bore from the
up country, or picked up as 1t went
along. and to the thump of pebbles
and powders which it swept on IN
flood time, the river kept cutting down
as the strata rose, until finally, when
what was left of our inland sea bottom
got thrust up so that, towering far
above its erstwhile rocky shores, it
had to be called plateau, the Colo
rodo and its auxiliaries found them
selves at the bottom of O series of
colossal canyons and gorges, where
they are to-day.

MODERN FRENCH TRAGEDY.
How a Pair of Paris Lovers Attempt
ed to End Their Unhappy
Existence.

French tragedy in these degenerate
days is seldom without Its flavor of
burlesque or opera bouffe. Take the
recent case of the Partisan Romeo and
Juliet. Georges Vavian and Marie
Machine are about the age of the i'm.
mortal lovers of Verona, and a feud
divides their houses. They determined
to carry out the likeness to the end.
The first time every requisite for the
tragic dcnoument was prepared.
Georges had provided pistols, and the
occasion was to be walk In q de-
serted garden at nightfall. When the
final crisis was at hand, however, the
pair found they had omitted to pro-
vide themselves with sufficient forti-
tude on this first occasion to carry out
their foolish project. Nothing 10th,
they determined upon making SEQ
ond attempt.
This time well-known recipe for In
stilling artificial bravery was put into
use. Hoping to compensate with
Dutch courage his natural lack of
valor, Vavian drank quantity of
brandy, and took up o pistol to shoot
his betrothed. Again his nerve failed
him. Still undeterred, Vavian imbibed
more brandy. Having at last screwed
his courage up to the sticking place
by these artificial means, he leveled his
weapon at Marie Machine. this time
with serious results. He fired and
wounded her in the forehead. Sud-
denly, aghsst at what he had done,
he threw the pistol away instead Of
pointing it at himself, and shouted
Justify for help. Fortunately, the
boys hand appears to have shaken,
possibly under the influence of drink,
when he took aim at Marie Machine.
and the life of the latter was spared.

FLAG OF THE CUBAN PEOPLE.
1t Was First Carried by NnrcisO Loo
peg In 1S5O-51-Vcrsions as
TO Its Meaning.

The Cuban flag was first carried by
Narciso Lopez about 1s5O.1s51, when
he invaded Cuba and lost his life.
There are quite number of versions
as to the meaning of this flag; one Is
that the red equilateral triangle
stands for equality; the white star
represents Cuba, which would gain her
independence through q sea of blood,
and the three blue stripes for the
three departments into which they In
tended TO divide the island-eastern
Cuba, central Cuba and western Cuba
There is another version, that once
about 1850 or 1881 a group of Cuban en-
lies were talking OF the new flag that
should be adopted, and trying to get
suitable design, when one of them
went to the window Of the room In
which they were holding their discus
sion and saw tina evening star shining
brightly in the heavens, surrounded
by the glare of the setting sun, while
still higher the aky was blue, striped
with white clouds.
: The revolutionary flag of Puerto
leo is Of the same proportions and de-
sign Us the Cuban flag. only the colors
ore changed. Where the Cuban flag
Is red the Puerto Rican flag Is blue. and
where the Cuban flag is blue the Puer-
to Rican flag Is red. 1t is singular to
notice that in almost every country of
which liberty is the wutchword and
guiding idea the flag is composed of
the three colors-red. white and blue.

WEDDINGS IN BRITTANY.
There Is No Limit to the Guests Bid
den and No stint to the Feast
ing or the Frolic.

The Bretons are most sentimental
people. Their wooings and their we'd
dings are most picturesque. Some of
the prettiest things that have ever
been said about women have been said
in Brittany by Breton men. Some of
the very finest saws imaginable about
marriage and love are Breton prov
cribs.
A Breton bride must wear silken
.,irdle or sash, so tied hat il falls, not
in single ends, but in long double loops.
When the wedding party has formed
INTO procession, and is about to walk
to church. it is arrested by the brides
mother. who cuts the loops of her
child's sash, embraces her, blesses
her, and says: The tie which has SO
!ong united us, my child. is hencefor
ward rent asunder and am forced
to yield TO another the authority
which God gave me over thee. If thou
art happy-and may God ever grant it
this will be no longer thy home; but
should misfortune visit thee, mother
is still mother, and her arms are
ever open to her children. Like thee,
quilted my mothers side TO follow
husband. Thy children will also, in
their turn, leave thee. When the birds
are grown, the maternal nest cannot
hold them. May God bless thee, my
