TWO VANDERBILT WEDDINGS.
Matrimony in the Early Days of the
Republic and now.

Matrimony in the Early Days of the
Republic and now.
When Alfred G. Vanderbilt led the
charming Miss Elsie French to the
altar in Newport the other day, the
present house of Vanderbilt stood in
remarkable contrast to that of former
days.
Society watched with interest the
ricn accessories which the present
head of the Vanderbilt family cast
around the ceremony that united him
to Miss French The wedding break
fast cost SO many thousands of dol
lars, the gifts 10 the bridal party so
mary thousands more, and SO on and
so forth until the climax of this roy u
wedding was reached when the bride
| opened a bow containing securities
amounting to $3,70O,0O0, the gift of the
groom. Private detectives guarded
the mass of valuable presents. The
wedding over, Mr. and Mrs. Wander
bit stepped aboard a Pullman and are
now travelling in Canada-rich, happy,
loving and with 30 cloud OF the
future.
Entirely different was a wedding in
the Vanderbilt family little over a
century ago. In 1887 a young man be.
gan his work in life by farming n
little patch of land on Staten Island.
Two years later he had saved enough
to buy ferry, which he ran between
the island and the mainland. So
successful was he that he was able,
to use his own language, ''to stay
ashore and rest two days out Of
seven" His name was John Wander
bilt.
But, as usually happens, the little
prosperity which he enjoyed brought
him a wife who worked for clergy
man in the nolther,l portion of the
island. Six months after becoming
acquainted they were married in the
westinghouse adjoining the clergy
mans residence. The bride, gowned
in homesHun, was attended by two
girls in their working dresses. Be
fore the ceremony Phoebe's employer
preached brief sermon to the au-
dience Of 20 persons. Then the
Forty-ffth Psalm was read, the audi
ence singing it to the 'Old Windsor"
tune. When the ceremony was
finished it is written that the bride
kissed all present with the greatest
heartiness, her bridegroom last, as
was fitting.

Don't Soki.

Of all forms of human effort and ex-
ecution scolding is TIE most useless.
When parrot, chipnunk, a squirrel
or bluejay scolds he is ludicrous. For
people to scold is fudicrous, 1oo, but
with a difference, and assuredly the
difference is on the unfavorable side.
1t never did and never will do any one
any good. 1t has done much harm.
Besides, scolding grows to be a habit.
We have all suffered because Of the
shortcomings of some one else, re-
ceiving tremendous TRADES over what
we had no hand in. because we hap
pened to be present when the scold-
ing habit was yielded to by one OF it's
victims. Scolding is easy. It takes
neither power OF brain nor heart TO
, soold. 1t does not even make any
great draft upon the physical being.

the voice, the eye, the facial
should be trained not to scold; yes,
and the pen, for of all things a scold-
| ing pen is the worst. And the habit

to be entirely shaken off-Ada C.

CALIFORNIA; REDWOOD,
John Muir's Work to Protect the
Tree.

John Muir's Work to Protect the
Tree.
Adeline Knapp in Ainslee's.-"One
of the greatest services John Muir
has done for his adopted state, and,
incidentally, for the country at large,
has been his aid in procuring legisla-
ton for the protection Of the forests
The forestry problem, in California
has long been serious one. Among
all the forest reservations within the
state none includes that most charac-
teristic Californian tree, the sequoia
semper virens, commonly known as
the redwood. This grows nowhere
outside California; yet the state now
owns not one acre of redwood forest.
Every foot of it has been sold to pri-
vate parties, and the trees are rapidly
being converted into lumber. But with
the history of every forest reservation
in the state the name of John Muir is
closely associated. He loves trees
as most of us love kindred spirits
among human kind, and is even now
engaged in an exhaustive work, deal
ing with the national parks and forest
reservations of this country, a subject
to handle which he is prominently
well qualified.
Do you know the sugar pine? he
once asked of me- The high priest
among trees; look at this one,' and hs
showed me photograph of a magnifi-
cent specimen. I wish he added
that the whole world could go out and
listen to him. We should not need
then to implore protection for our
forests.
TO John Muir, trees are individual
and characteristic. Each one that ne
meets becomes an acquaintance; but
for the rest of us it is as he himself
says, Few have lived long enough
with the trees to gain anything like a
loving conception of their grandeur
and significance as manifested in the
harmonies OF their distribution and
varying aspects"

shouldered. All through his youth
and early middle age his frame was
sinewy, like that of man accustomed
to athletic exercises, although he play
ed no games. His head was held erect
the cold blue-g eyes ever on the
alert. His hair was red, and he wore
bushy beard, which was lately be-
ginning to turn grizzled The clear
ness of his pink complexion and the
fineness and smoothness of his skin
were noticeable quite late on in his
life. The most remarkable feature OF
his face, without doubt, was his curl
oHs mouth, sensitive and mobile, yet
constantly closing with snap in the
act of will. Nothing was more notable
and pleasing than the way in which
his severe, keen face, braced by the
aqulhne nose to a disciplinariau
,austerity, lightened up and softened
with this necessarily recurrent smile
Such, in outward .guise, was one OF

nantly regrettable men whom England

years of the nineteenth century.

RELIC CE ANTIQUITY,
Cid Roman Wall in the Cid Bailey,
Unearthed in 1900.

Oneartned IN 19UO.
At a meeting of the London and
Middlesex Archaeological association,
held at the London Institution, Fins
bury Square, says the London Stand
ard, a paper by Mr.. John Terry, city
clerk of the works, Guildhall, on a
Recently Discovered Portion of the
Roman Wall, was read by the senior
honorable secretary, Charles Welcn,
F. S. A, owing to the absence of tie
author through indisposition. These
remains were unearthed in March,
1900 about Is inches below the SUE
face at the rear of No. in the Old
Bailey, adjoining the Sessions house.
The wall was built about A. D. sos,
and extended along the river front
from Blackfriars to the Tower, the
bank of the Thames being strength
ened by piles, and it was finished by
bastions and other defenses at the
angles. The course of the wall ran
from the river to Ludgate Ito use
modern names), then to Newgate, on
to point between st. Bartholomew S
and Christ's hospital, and successfully
to Aldersgate, Cripplegate, and
Bishopsgate, whence it was carried
south to near where the White tower
now stands. This piece is about y
feet high, feet inches thick above
the foundation, which is IA inches
wider. From the base of the founda-
ton there is feet inches of rubble
work of large rag-stones, then come
three courses of tiles, then feet
inches of smaller rag-stones, and two
courses of tiles, on the top of which is
other rubble work. The interior Of
the wall is rag-stone, roughly tumbled
in, and grouted with lime mortar OF
excellent quality, the whole forming a
hard concrete mass The inner face,
where not mutilated, is in a good
state of preservation, but the outer
face shows the effect OF the water of
the old Fleet ditch. Mr.. Terry had
also sent some notes on the restora
ton of the bastion of the London Wal
in Cripplegate churchyard. Ex-
cavations showed that the founda-
lions were, at least in part, Roman,
but in the upper portion though
Roman materials were largely use1,
the work was medieval, and the
mortar was of inferior quality. The
wall rises 81 feet from the founda-
lions, Is feet below the ground, and :.
feet above, with d width of feet q
inches at ground level. During the
excavation curious old tunnel
was discovered. From a passage in
Harrison's England this appears to
have been continuation of the work
draining the old More Ditch from Bish-
opsgate to Moregate, in 1888, the rest
OF the ditch from Moorgate to Cripple
gate being arched over 10 years later.

AS TO IMMUNITY FROM GRIP.
An investigation on the Subject of Re.
lapSeS.

Iapses.
The present epidemic of grip does
not tend to support the opinions of
those who have predicted that An
immunity from this disease would
gradually be established, and that In
| fiuenza itself would die a natural
death for want of material upon
which to feed. On the contrary, the
very first appearance, about 10 years
ago, of this prevailing infection, that
the grip has had tendency to attack
the same victim repeatedly, and that
it has slowly and surely become an
epidemic disease amongst us This In
certainly contrary to what we expect
to see in an infectious disease, and
to what we actually do see in most OF
the other so-called zymotic disease.
And yet that grip is an infectious
disease, or the product of a microbe,
there is no reason to doubt That
it is contagious, in the sense that as
in any microbian disease the spores
or the bacilli themselves can be-
passed from one person to another, Is
not to be doubted; and yet il is
probably not so highly contagious as
some observers contend. Certainly.
with our present knowledge, it is not
desirable that alarming statements TO
that effect should issue from the
medical profession. Where all rer-
sons are exposed to the same cause,
many may be affected without direct
personal contagion.
With reference to the subject OF
immunity from grip, we wish we
could chronicle some more encourag-
ing facts. Turney Uancet, February
5, 1889 made a special investigation
on the subject of relapses, and found
in England that quite 10 per cent. of
the cases relapse. How many per-
sons have second, and even third and
fourth attacks in succeeding years,
we do not know. Turney thinks that
if any immunity is conferred it is un-
important, and that a first attack
even seems to predispose to a second
Many observers in America will con-
firm this statement. Gresswell
| claimed that healthy persons are
hiOl y llobiC W UC dLIdChCu Ludu juOSB
who have been in bad health. With
reference to the complications and
sequelae of grip, it is well to remem-
Der that many of these are probably
| due to secondary infection Thus the
pyogenic microbes may cause puru-
| lent pleurisy, or the pneumococci may
case a pneumonia. For these and
other infections the grip merely pre-
pares the soil. The disturbances In
the nervous system are probably due
to toxins, although some of them
closely simulate organic LESSONS.
Thus a paralysis of the sixth nerve,
occurring as an early symptom, was
observed in a case in this city last
year. In the present epidemic
Philadelphia grave complications OF
any kind are not so common as in the
earlier years.
With reference to treatment, there
seems to be nothing new, and nothing
very effective. There is no specific
for grip, and until we have a protec-
tive or curative serum there
probably will be none-Philadelph

At the Set of the Sun.

At the set of the sun.
When our work is done.
With all it's tangled web;
When the clouds drift low,
And the stream runs slow,
And life is at its ebb;
AS we near the goal,
When the golden bowl
Shall be broken at its fount,
With what sweetest thought
Shall the hour be fraught,
What precious most shall we count
Not the flame of the sword,
Nor the wealth we have stored
In perishable things of earth
Not the way we have trod
With the intellect broad,
Though that were of precious worth
Nor the gain we achieved
Through the hearts we have grieved
And left unhelped by the way;
Nor the laurel of fame,
When, for worldly acclaim,
We toiled in the heat and the fray
All, no! Ills not these
Will give our hearts ease
When life sinks low in the west,
But the passing sweet thought
Of the good we have wrought,
The saddened lives we have blest.
And the love we have won,
And the love reckoning on
From His islands far and dim;
Love out of the light,
Shining into the night,
The night which leadeth to Him.
