REV. FATHER HOTOVITzKY.

llLIl llO AIA1
ring remains with the groom, and the
groom's golden ring remains with the
bride. The rings are given in token Of
the lifelong union into which they
are entering.
Next comes the rite of marriage.
When this stage is reached the priest
asks them each separately whether
they have spontaneous wish and the
firm intention to contract the con-
jugal union with each other and
whether they have not promised to
contract that union with some one
else. On receiving their affirmative
answer to the first question and their
negative to the second, the priest pro-
ceeds to the actual rite of marriage.
This rite begins with blessing the
kingdom of the most holy Trinity, and
with the great Ectenia. To this Ec-
tenia are added petitions on behalf of
the new consorts, that they be granted
a blessing upon their marriage, chasti-
ty, w~ell-favored children and joy in
them; a blameless life, an unfading
crow of glory in the heavens, and an
abundance of the good things Of the
earth, so that they may be enabled to
assist the needy; that the Lord may
help the wife to obey her husband, and
the husband to be the head of his wife;
that he may remember also the parents
who reared them, as parents prayers
make firm the foundations Of houses.
Next the priest puts a crown on the
head Of tho 0pnnp1 rnnnnttnw tho
words: The servant of God, N, is
crowned for the handmade of God, N,
in the name of the Father and of the
Son and of the Holy Ghost This he
repeats, placing the crown on the
head of the bride, after which he
blesses them thrice, saying, oh, Lord,
our God, with glory and honor crown
them
After the ceremony of marriage and
the blessing a psalm is sung, in which
the essence of the sacrament of matri-
mony is set forth: Thou hast set upon
their heads crowns Of precious stones;
they asked life of thee, and thou CAV
est it them After this lessons from
the gospels and epistle are read. The
epistle lesson speaks of the Importance
and of the mutual duties of the CON
sorts; the gospel tells of Christ's
presence at the wedding at Cana in
Galilee. The readings are followed by
the triple Ectenia and the Ectenia of
duplication, ending with the chant
ing of the Lords prayer. Then a cup
of wine is brought. The priest blesses
the cup and presents it alternately to
! the husband and wife to drink from,
| three times to each. This common cup
signifies that they must live in an in
dissoluble union and share with each
other joy and sorrow. The priest then
takes the welded couple by the hands
and leads them three times around the
lectern; the best man and attendants
follow, holding the crowns above the
heads of the newly married pair.
During this, the same hymns are sung
| as at an ordination. This ceremony is
symbolical of the solemnity and indis-
solubility of the conjugal union. The
priest now takes the crown from the
pair and addresses to each words OF
greeting and goce wishes. To the hus-
band he gays: Be thou magnified. o
bridegroom like Abraham. and blessed

All of the glory that has come to

slowed upon Frederick V. McNair.
The latter officer was the commodore
in command of the Asiatic squadron
before Dewey was given the assign

OF sea duty and did not expect a wal
with Spain. Hence, when the navy de-
partment offered to relieve him Of

ODD FACTS ABOUT THE GEAR.

In Russia the cars will is the only
law, and it follows that he can name
any man he likes as his successor-a
barber, for example. AS a matter OF
fact, the cars have lately observed the
laws laid down by their predecessors,
but they used not to, and there is no
power to compel them to do so.

Although the position of the car
may appear an enviable one, it has
many disadvantages. The mortality
among czars is probably higher than
among match factory operatives. Peter
Ill, grandson of Peter the Great, was
murdered in 1862. Paul, son of Cath
crime H., was murdered in 1901. Alex
ander was assassinated by the Mini
lists in 1881. The late car, Alexander
Ill, died prematurely through the con-
slant fear of assassination. The czar
possesses the most splendid collection
of jewels of any person in the world
monarch or millionaire. These, OF
course, are of more Importance to his
wife than to him.

DIPLOMATIC CIPHERS.
From The London Outlook.

From The London Outlook
To Mr. Labouchere are due our heartiest
thanks. our warmest congratulations. Ever
since THE outlook" came into being we have
insisted In season and out OF season, upon the
folly of permitting every official and unofficial
telegraphic message to and from the Far East
to pass through an office in Hong Kong jointly
tenanted and controlled by Anglo and Russo
Danish companies. But" the companies have
said in reply to our remonstrances. what nom
sense you talk! Every important message
official and private goes under cover or code;
what could be more secure?" Let Mr.. La
bouchere reply. He was one OF the secretaries
OF Lord Napier Of Ettick when that diplomatist
was Ambassador at St Petersburg and here is
a pretty tale he tells in Truth
