which lay before the two countries, liber-
ating the oppressed and throwing wide the

one thing you can give to your brother

BRIDAL GIFTS.
Silver is no Longer in Vogue; China,
Glass and EtchiDgs Take it's Place.

Silver is no Longer in Vogue; China,
Glass and EtchiDgs Take its Place.
There are distinct fashions in we'd
ding presents, and the changes this
spring from the customs of previous
years are very marked. No longer is
silver to be given, especially such ar
ticles as loving cups, bowls, tea and
coffee sets aud the like. The giving Of
small pieces-kpives, forks, spoons and
tiny articles for the DIRE ssing table,
with, perhaps, candlesticks-is still
80 the relatives and very close friends
of the bride aud bridegroom.
AS for several years silver has been
the great thing for bridal gifte, the
reason for this rad cal change on the
part of fashion is interesting. 1t lie
foolish, society says, unless the young
BRIDE and bridegroom be of great
wealth, to load them down with silver.
They will not have servants enough to
clean it, let alone everything else, and
it will fit in with nothing 1u their daily
lives.
So the wedding presents of this
spiog at all the important bridals will
be chiefly china, glass and etchings.
Literally hundre's Of the latter will
go to New York brides this spring.
One wealthy New York woman who
sent a silver loving cup last spring 10
q girl friend Of her daughter on the oc-
casion of her wedding has bought S75
etching for another girl friend tn g
year. And this instance shows the
trend of the new wedding prese idea.
The useful, and articles that can be
easily taken care of, are what will be
given.
China tea sets, for example, will be q
very popular present this spring. China
and cut glass flower vases, very tall and
greatly in fashion just now, will also be
in vogue. Sofa cushions and lamps
are being very generally bought for
presents. Desks, tables, chairs and
other small articles of furoiture will
come by the dozen to every bride of
this Springtime
Sets of furniture will not be uncom-
mon wedding presents, when the bride
and bridegroom are known to have
plann d to go housekeeping at once.
But these. naturally, can come from
close friends only. Among all the
wedding presents talked about silver
is heard of hardly at all.
For the girl who has many wedding
pre- sents t. make to her feminine
friends there is nothing more correct
this year than one of the tiny oil paint
inRs, framed in gold metal, that sell
from one dollar to five. A present like
this is taking the pla-e of q spoon or
some article of that sort, and will be
highly priced.

Miss Wizards Successor in

ability, are so blended as 10 the subject
of this sketch. Born in Dover, Me-,
Mrs. Stevens's home has always been

Destruction of Birds.

Something very decided must be done
soon to stop the cruel aud senseless
destruction of the birds. Mr. Frank M
Chapman of the American Society OF
Natural History, at Washington, D. c.
said recently: The greatest enemies
the birds have are the milliners and
the women who wear feathers that
come from dead birds, aud in that
way become exponeu's Of a savage,
heartless spirit. Fully 200 900, 600
birds are annually killed to satisfy the
dictate OF heartess fashion. Yet the
world would became uninhabitable
should the birds become extinct, and
they surely will if the present warfare
on them is continued. The duty of
Audubon Societies is to teach people,
especially young people, more of birds,
of their usefulness and of their hom e
life, for once Known, no one will call
for or permit their destruction.

All four accounts of the triumphal

are Mark IL: Ill, Like 10: 28-44, John

choice of the animal showed his pur-

idea associated with the ass in that

used for ordinary travel. The disciples
must have wondered at the meaning of

and that he knew who was meant by

Z. Matthew plainly states that the
dis ciples brought both the ass and the
colt, in harmony with the passage
