Pretty wedding Custom.

A pretty custom at English royal
weddings has been in vogue since the
marriage Of Queen Victoria. A sprig
of myrtle from her bridal wreath
was planted. When the princess roy
al, the late Empress Frederick of
Germany, became bride, the little
branch had grown to be tree, and
in turn contributed to her chaplet.
She followed her mothers example,
and when the present emperor of Ger
many was married his bride wore
sprigs cut from his mothers tree.
The practice was observed in the mar
riage of the prince of Wales, and has
been adopted by all of Queen Vic.

HAND LOSES ITS CUM ING.

The brain of great man remains
in fine working order long after his
hands, directed by that brain, have
lost their dizziness. That is one Of the
curious things of life. There are
plenty of instances Of men who have
reached the allotted age Of life con-
tinuing in the activities of the world
as long as those activities are of the
brain and not of the hand. But the
mechanics highest skill is shown
when he is between the ages OF 80
and 40. After the latter age his hand
loses its cunning, but If his brain has
been taught to work he can continue
to labor and may even surpass the
earning power of his hand. After 40
the muscles do not respond nearly
as certainly and readily to the orders
and the willingness of the brain. and
a mans handiwork begins to. fall off
in its earning capacity. Yet in the
case Of the brain it is only after 40
that it really begins its best work
the work that Nendnres and is called
famous long after the man has ceased
to be, says the New York Press.
A good instance of the early death
of manual activity is seen in the but
ton trade. A skillful button maker
in his prime, between 80 and 40 years
of age, can make $11 or $12 week.

six or seven dollars week he is
lucky, while 20 years later, even if he
still enjoys sound health and facul-
ties, all he can make is five dollars a
week. In this trade, of course, one
hand is used. principally. In farming
or seafaring, or in some other voca-
tons in which the energy Of the mus

photographers of stars. In her pur-
suit of this work she has been accus-
toned to go up in balloon. She
is an absolutely fearless aeronaut.
DR.. Roberts accompanied her in sew
eral of these balloon ascents as q
humble admirer and acquirer of
knowledge. 1t was on one of these
ascents that he at last found time to
propose.
Partisan friends and admirers of
Miss Klumpke thus described the
scene: 1t was a gorgeous night, with
myriad of stars shining clearly in
the heavens. Below were the twink
ling lights of Paris family indicating
the outlines of houses and buildings.
The balloon was sailing through the
pure and silent upper air. The
charming astronomer, her evenings
work done, fingered with her hand on
the telescope to mediate and enjoy
the beauty of the scene.
1t was the psychological moment.
She was gently aroused from her rev.
erie by the pleading of her learned
companion. She remembered his
worth and his devotion. He won his
cause. Hereafter the two astrono-
mers will share their study of the
stars. I'll
It is significant fact that Venus
was the star which Miss Klumpke
was chiefly observing when this ro-
nance occurred. The superstitious
will Immediately draw their conclu-
sions from that. The moon was also
photographed, but whether that had
any influence one would hardly ven
ture to say.
In spite of her profound scientific
attainments Miss Klumpke is of pleas
ing appearance and dresses quite
tastefnlly. She won her place in the
Paris astronomical observation over
the heads of the SO Frenchmen who
were competing, and she now has
charge of the department which COM
putes the measurements Of the stars
in the Paris belt, with several young
Frenchwomen under her direction.
She has a special bureau of her own
in the great observatory garden, and
it is covered with ivy and surrounded
by flowers. Here Mrs. Klumpke
works eagerly from nine in the morn
ing until five in the afternoon, and
at night she stays up in the round
tower with her telescope turned
searchingly upon the stars or goes up
in balloon to study them better.
She delights in it, and the heavens
to her are as intimate as the little
garden of her bureau, where the
snails crawl over the paths and the
French roses bloom.
