The work OF searching for the bodies
of the victims OF Monday : disaster 5
going on as rapidly as possible. sew
eral unidentified bodies were removed
from the debris yesterday, and imme-
diately placed in collins and buried
without ceremony. The death list is
SO and It is expected that the NUMBER
will be augmented to at least ITO ana
It may reach 125 or 1870. There were
so many. strangers in the city when the
tornado struck that complete list OF
the victims cannot be had for many
days. .... TQa. ruins Of only afeM q

When the final CHASTITY roll is com
pletad it will be found that for once IN
the history OF disasters of this kind
the dead outnumber the wounded.
This can only be accounted for by he
fact that wherever the frightful funnel
shaped cloud struck the ground, It's
force was so terrible that hardly any
thing could survive the horrid twisting

NEW FAD IN WEDDING GIFTS.
Costly Books Presented to the Daugh-

One Of the interesting features OF the
wedding of Lady Peggy Primrose to the
earl of Crews was the presents.
In such a fashionable wedding what

set on this day was the sending of rare
books as bridal gifts.
1t is not an expensive gift. The
string Of your purse must be quite long
and your judgment of the best quality
to make such a gift and make it in
good taste. The books that are sen
must not be modern, but classic, in

For example, Lady Peggy received a
very select copy Of Jane Austen's
works; Skeletons edition Of Mary

her an excellent edition of Pilgrims
Progress, and if she is a loyal British
subject she must have been very happy
over receiving two royal editions CT
Mr.. William Watson's collected poems
Mr.. Watson sending her one edition

Another superb edition she received
was Matthew Aynold's poems, and the

received was a rare and quaint edi-
