News from the bedside of the Presi-
dent Is Of such continuously cheering
nature as to displace hope for his re-
covery with reasonable confidence that
the day Is not far distant when he will
ne able to resume his official duties.
The wounds Of the President are not
necessarily fasal, and there Is every in
dication that his strong constitution
coupled with unfailng courage and
good spirits will carry him through
the crisis to robust health. The Presi-
dents age and the strain which has
always told on the health of every In
Cumbent OF his Office are against him,
but the fatalities attendant to the In
Jury OF other Presidents Is by no means
n proper criterion on which to base
pcssmistic view of Mckinley 5
chances. There Is no cause for the
physicians in charge to give the pe0-
pie false hope or to assume confidence
when they are In fact dubious over the
result. Our government Is not In that
critical state requiring any diplomatic
falsitications. Physicians in attend
ance are doing their duty by giving
facts and II Is a blessing to know that
these facts are such as to fulfill tho
iondest hope OF the people.

But there Is more to II than the mere
fact that the home has succeeded the
church as Il place for such affairs.
With the change the whole tone of the
function has changed, the bride Is no
longer so deliberately gowned, the deco
ratlons are not so extravagant, the
bridesmaids and groomsmen are not
SO numerous and the guest list Is es-
sentially much reduced. The wedding
is still pretty affair, but 1t Is not
gorgeous and the efforts of the most
imaginative society editor could not
make II so. One maid of honor and
one bridesmaid are at most the attend
ants of the party and frequently the
maid OF honor alone accompanies the
bride. while the groom has no attend
ant. The bride Is gowned simply yet
with all the adornments necessary to
the proverbial bride and the costume
of her maid is likewise simple.
In spite OF all Its apparent simplicity.
the home wedding Is not small affair,
200 or 800 guests are frequently In at
tendance and the reception which fol-
lows Is always largely attended. Take
Il all In all, the home function Is no
less brilliant. though less showy, than
that OF the church and even when 1t
is announced as simply family affair
there Is reception afterward for
friends. There Is still the "Lohengrin"
wedding march and the "Oh. Promise
Me" played softly through the service,
and there IL always the bride, hap
nv and altogether charming person,
who is after all the center of general
interest. And there Is still wedding
ring, although there is no page In

Age of Big Trees.

Referring to the age of the big trees of
California, Prof. @. Il. Bessy records in
Science" that he once counted with
much care the rings of growth of the
tree Of which the stump constitutes the
floor OF the so-called dancing pavilion.
This count was made from clrcumfer-
ence to center, and every ring in all that
distance was counted. no estimates or
guesses being made. The result was
that 1.147 rings Were counted and ac-
cordingly 1t is safe TO say that this tree,
which was fully "a or % feet In dia-
meter, and considerably more than 300
feet In height, acquired these dlmen-
sions In eleven hundred and forty seven
years. Prof. Bessey doubts whether
any Of the existing trees approach the
age OF two thousand years.
