No Such Place As Grefna Green.

The noveliStS have woven romance
about Gretna Green and it's village
blacksmith which will last for all time,
and which for all time will supply 4
denOuement to the wares of successive
professional story tellers. The sordid
facts of Gretna Green marriages and
the still more sordid details of the
Gretna Green registers are widely diff
ferent from the picturesque romance
which we associate with the days Of
poStbOyS and the mad racing and chaS-
ing through Carlisle. The history of
Gretna Green and it's marriages rests
upon the abominable marriage laws
of Scotland. We call them abOmina-
BILE, for they are the curse of the Scot
tish genealogy. The marriage laws in
Scotland were and are for they re-
main unaltered) atrOciOuSly simple,
and therein lay the temptation and at
traction of Gretna Green. Probably
the novel-reading public will be shock
ed to hear that there is no such de-
finite place as Gretna Green: the name
applies to a district comprising SON u
number of villages or hamletS some
miles apart. All that was necessary
was to get over the border into Scot
land. and there make the necessary
contract before witnesses. The black
smiths shop on the high road north
from Carlisle was\the most easily ac-
cessible, and was probably the best
known. but there were some houses
just over the border which kept wit
nesSeS at hand and retained a register
of the contracts entered into. The
registers were secondary matter.
and the fees demanded were freQuent-
ly large and, where secrecy was an
object. eXtortiOnate.
Those Gretna Green marriages still
occasionally take place. though now
ONLY between residents in the neigh
borhood: but as similar ceremonies
take place all over Scotland. there is
nothing especially distinct We about
! the contracts made at these Gretna
Green marrying shops. But unless an
actual and proper ceremony takes
! place, il is said these Scot tiSh mar
riages are not valid upon persons
where both are of English domicile,
, though those intending to elOpe can
| have the consolation of the fact that
| the preliminary residence aad adve"-
| tiscment necessary in England are not
! compulsory in Scotland. and a mar
riage in a Scottish church il binding.
! So n couple of return tickets to Scot
| land NAV still carry matrimonial ad-
yantages. The English law attaches

The Angler.

Big and clumsy as it is and lacking
in senStiyenesS as ii may seem. the
angler is difficult to keep alive in cap
tivity. one reason being thai ii is hard
to get il to eat. Anglers have been
kept at the aquarium i'm New York six
months. but that is believed to he rec
ord time. While as a rule the angler
in captivity refuses food. aud can be
brought TO eat only after a long time
and 10y persistent effort. there comes
in occasionally an angler that has not
left an appetite behind it. There is n
thrty-pound angler at the Aquarium
now and has been there about ten days
and began to eat within two or three
days after its arrival. taking for its
first meal n founder weighing about
pound.
The founder is. in its shape. we'll
adapted TO fit the anglers mouth.
which is. in proportion TO he size of
its body. even bigger than the mouth
of an alligator. The angler is of a very
different shape from the alligator. he
ing more scow built. and with its for
ward end rounding like the end of Il
great Stubby-Shaped platter. Itsmouth.
which opens from side to side. extends
back about a third of the leagth of its
body. making it. instead o. long and
deep, like the alligator's mouth. broad
and deep or more on the cellar door
pattern.
A day or two after eating the floun-
der, this angler took two pound hake
whole. and. as ii prefers its food alive.
the hake was imnaled on the end of
rod. aud held down in the water and
shaken gently to give il the semblance
Of life 1t was held thus for moment
in the anglers mouth. and presently
the angler dropped its trunklid and
shut the bake in and gulped it down.

A TIP TO SOLDIERS.
The War is Not Over Until Notifications ays
 Exchanged.

Washington, Feb. 9.-It was said at the war department that the decision respecting the status quo in the Phil ippines, and the restrictions imposed on American operations there also covers the question of the disbanding of the army. There is quite a large proportion of the increase of the regu- lar army that was mustered in "for the war" with the specific pledge that on the return of peace these men, all though regulars, and mustered in nominally for three years, would be given their discharge at any time on their own request. If advantage were generally taken of this pledge by the department it would seriously deplete the American forces in the field, but the time for the redemption of the promise has not yet arrived and, ac- cording to the ruling of the depart ment, the war continues till after the exchange of notifications of the peace treaty by the two countries. After that the end Of the war, in all proba- bility, will be formally announced by executive proclamation, as was the declaration of the war last spring.

A DAY OF MATING.
St. Valentine's Day, as Celebrated by the Romans, Was the Time
 to Choose Mates.

Mir. Donce, in his illustrations of Shakespeare, says, regarding St. Val entine's day: Ut was the practice in ancient Rome, during greater part O. the month of February, to celebrate the Lupercalia, which were feasts in honor of Pan and Juno, whence the lat ter deity was named Februata, Febru- alis and Februella. On this occasion amidst variety of ceremonies, the names of young women were put in a box, from which they were drawn by the men as chance directed. The pas. tors of the early Christian church, who by every possible means endeavored to eradicate the vestiges of pagan su- perstitions, substituted in the presen :. instance the names of the particular saints instead of those of the women and as the festival of Lupercalia had commenced about the middle of Feb ruary, they appear to have chosen St Valentines day for celebrating the new feast, because it occurred at nearly the same time. This is, in part, the opin- ion of the learned compiler of the lives that it was utterly impossible to extir- pate altogether any ceremony to which the common people had been much ac- customed, a fact which it is easy to prove in tracing the origin of various other popular superstitions, and ac- cording the outline of ancient ceremo- nies was preserved, but modified by some adaptation to the Christian sys- tenn. It is reasonable to suppose that the above practice of choosing mates would gradually become reciprocal in the sexes, and that all persons so chosen would, be called valentines, from the day on which the ceremony took place" |" Pittsburgh Dispatch.
