WAR WEDDINGS.

One of the most notable features in
connection with the siege of Kimberley
is the callous way in which the inhabi-
tants treated the Boer bombardment,
yer finding time to celebrate three we'd
dings during the progress of hostilities.
However unique this may seem. refer
ence to past campaigns will eveal other
cases of a similar nature. Even after
the slaughter Of Waterloo two weddings
came off on the field, one being especially
pathetic in detail. A young officer in a
well-knOwn cavalry regiment sent d.
rect from England was ordered to leave
been married, and his fiancee. disappoint-
ed and anxious at the turn things had
taken. decided to follow him despite his
protests. This she did unknown to her
lover, and was in the neighbOrhOOd when
the great battle was fought.
After the victory she failed to gain any
new of him. so thinking that he must
have fallen, employed a peasant, and to-
gether they searched the field before the
work of rescuing the wounded was begun,
After some hours she came upon him ~
ing half buried beneath a bloody heap OF
his W comrades and dead horses in that
part of the field where the conflict had
ragged fiercest. He was not dead, and al
his request she sent the peasant for a
priest, and not lOngsafterward they were
mated where he lay only to be separated
a little later by death.
A burly ~guardsman furnished the next
case in point, which was a happier one,
for beyond a wound in the right arm thu
bridegroom was in excellent health and
spirits. The marriage was celebrated al
daybreak on the. morning after the battle

London, Jan. IL had an interview to-
day with Alfred Harmsworth, that as
tonishing young man who is called the
Nestor Of London journalism.
The ak took place in his luxurious Of
fees in the Daily Mail, but though I con-
versed with him for half an hour, l came

Harmsworth has a way Of sizing you
up. of drinking you in, of learning all
there is to learn in you, in a very short
time.
AS for himself, he impresses you just as
a handsomely bound volume impresses
the gazer. Solidity stares you, through
the volume may not be heavy. but you
are sure there is something worth read
ing n knowing inside. That is the
way with this young mar whose enter
prise is the talk of literary and business
London.
Mr.. Harmsworth is about thirty-fou1
years ole. He has been in business eight
cen years. In that time he has made
$40. 900, 900, or over two millions q year;
not a bad business record.
He began when he was sixteen. a boy

Harmsworth thought it was wise to get a
wife, so he married a very pretty and
well-bred London girl who proved Of the
greatest assistance to him in his work.
When he bought the first publication,
Mrs. Harmsworth worked by his side in
the office because he was poor and could
not hire many clerks. At night they
went home together and were happy
through it all.
To-day Mrs. Harmsworth is one of the
most elegant women in London Still
young, more than pretty, slender, delight

dressed, she is the center Of every circle
which she will consent to grace: Mr..

ing it easy. Upon his table lay a type
written manuscript, the leading editorial
for the London Mail, and Mr.. HARMS
worth. who is the editor-in-chief, was
going over it carefully making corrections
in it by hand.

A man must have some pleasure in life;

FEEDING THE MULTITUDE.

the hordes that flock into Paris at eXhi-

In 1889 the quantity of butchers meat
brought into Paris was 7,140 tons greater
than the total of the previous year. Game
and poultry showed an increase of neaar-
ly 5000 tons, fish an increase of 600 tons,
and butter of 1,120 tons. The number OF
eggs again went up to the extent of &c.
600, 900. The total of these commodities
brought into the capital during 1889 was
1914, 900 tons of butchers meat, 1900 tons
of game and poultry y, 25,400 tons of fish,

THE LAKES OF ASPHALT.

Nearly everyone has some vague
knowledge Of the source of asphalt or
%asphaltum. This pitchy substance is
one of the queerest things in nature.
Its chemical name is bitumen, and it
belongs to the series Of hydrocarbons,
with petroleum and similar products.
It exists in various parts OF the world,
or the Dead sea, on the Caspian, in
Switzerland, Cuba, Mexico, Kentucky.
Texas, etc. Blu the great source Of
the mineral is the wonderful asphalt
lakes Of Venezuela and Trinidad. The
Venezuela lake is about 1000 acres in
extent, the Trinidad one about 1l5
acres. The surface Is just sufficiently
firm to support the weight Of q man.
and may be walked upon with ordinary
p%recaution. 1t would not do to stand
still in one place for a great length Of
time, however, as an article the weight
of a man if left in the lake over night.
for instance, is swallowed up by morn
ing.
The lakes have been sounded to a
depth of over 200 feet and no bottom
reached. SO it may be said that the
supply is practically inexhaustible AS
the stuff is dug out more or it oozes
up into the hole thus made, and in a
short time, although carloads may ave
been carted away, the surafce of the
lake is perfectly even, and there is no
external evidence that the deposit has
been disturbed For making pavement
the asphalt is melted up with sand and
powdered limestone and the mixture is
laid on a pounded-stone foundation and
rolled to a proper surface The paving
contractors are usually required to
guarantee the pavement to last five
years, but in New York a fi~fteen-year
guaranty is required, the contractor be-
ing required to relay or patch the ave
ment as it wears out within the period.
Asphaltum when dissolved in turpentine
also makes an excellent and cheap paint
for iron, resembling Japan varnish.
