says recent report from London.
She received 72S presents, the esti-

S750,Oo0. About half the presents
were given by friends, the other half

Londonderry family or to secure a
place on the Londonderry visiting
list.
In more than 100 instances in which
pushing snobbishness was clearly
the motive in giving it is said that
the gifts were returned with a polite
intimation that the bride elect did
not feel justified in trespassing on
the donors good nature. The rap
idly growing ostentation of wedding
gifts amounts to a serious annual
charge upon the resources of even
the wealthy and aristocratic fam
lilies, for the offering of a simple

ness. A self-protective association is
being started in the highest circles

and you dursent." is quoted as at
fording the best hint of the real
truth. When once the mind conceives
the idea of possible poverty there is
scarcely anything it will not do to
avert the horrible contingency. Men
in battle, as our contemporary re-
minds US, have been known to shoot
themselves in the dread fear of being
shot by the advancing enemy. Fear
in money matters, as in all other,
paralyzes the Judgment and shakes
the reason. Misers are probably in
all other respects the unrest and
most moral of men; they are at any
rate as rigorous in their asceticism
as monk and friar. But such is the
force of this vice that it DESTROYS by
its own strong arm all the higher
emotions and aspirations of human
lty, leaving its victim a miserable
and negative creature, beneath the
contempt of his weaker brethren.

INSANITY RIFE In SIBERIA.
Startling Revelations Regarding Ex-

DR.. Briantsoff, an eminent special
ist in brain affections, has published
some startling details regarding the
high proportion of insane persons in
Siberia. On this side of the Ural
mountains one person in every 500
is weak in mind, in Siberia one in
224, says a recent report from ST.
Petersburg.
''To Siberia he says, 'are sent
the high criminal elements of Rus
sian society, the depraved, the alb
normal. Besides, drunkenness is
fearfully prevalent. In the province
of Tomsk, with an area of 100000
square miles and population of
100000, there is accommodation for
only eighty insane persons, and such
accommodation in other districts is
no better
DR.. Briantsoff has visited such es

GUTTA PERcHA FROM PEAT.
A Discovery ia Germany That May
Cheaper the Cost of Great
Ocean Cables.

Advices from Germany are to the
effect that a very satisfactory arti-
fetal gutta percha has been derived
from peat, and great things are ex-
pected to result from the discovery
in cheapening the cost of insulating
ocean cables. Gutta percha is the
only substance thus far discovered
for protecting a wire against the
corrosive action of salt water, and
the product is not only limited, but
is controlled by an English firm of
cable manufacturers, who own the
forests in the East Indies from which
the gutta percha is obtained.
Experiments to find a substitute
have been going on for years
throughout the world, but thus far
nothing has been entirely successful.
The price of gutta percha has been
advanced considerably by the de-
mands of the manufacturers Of golf
balls, which has almost doubled the
cost of cable manufacture, says the
New York Times, and if this German
inventor is able to make an equally
good insulator out of peat he will
make a very important contribution
to the worlds economy, for peat can
be found in almost every country on
the globe in quantities almost uniim-
tied

AIAIHsrIc EXPERIENCE.
An Instance Where wireless TeIeE-
raDhy Was Anything But q
BLESSING


a pathetic experience has been that
of Capt. Jorgensen, of the Hghtshup
on Nantucket shoals. That hghtship
is anchored out in the Atlantic some
distance from Nantucket. Communiea-
tion with the island of Nantucket is
kept up by wireless telegraphy, says
the Rochester Democrat and Chron-
icle.
The other day the mysterious cleo
tic impulses from the land informed
Capt. Jorgensen that his beloved 49,
year-old daughter at Braintree was
dangerously i'll. AT the time and since
the wild Atlantic was sending its
mighty rollers against the ightshiP,
and it was impossible for the father
to get away from it. Every day the
wireless messages came freighted with
gloomier tidings, until the announce
ment of the young girls death was
made. And still the captain could not
be taken from his floating but an
chOred prison. The winds and the
waves ragged about the Tlightship, and
no vessel could get near enough to take
him off.
This is one of the cases in which
wireless telegraphy was not blessing.
Many hours of mental anguish would
have been averted had Capt. Jorgen-
sen not had intelligence daily from his
daughters dea thbed.

He HAD HIS SUSPICION.
The COIOred Southern Minister
Locked AskRnce at Andrew
CaFHCsie's $50 Bill.

It is related that on the last tour of
President Mckinley in the south, An
drew Carnegie was in the party, and all
were asked to attend negro church in
Thomasville, Ga, where a very feryid
colored minister oficiated, says the
Des Moines Leader.
1t is said that whenever lull came
in the services the deacons took up a
collection, but through hospitable mo-
tives avoided passing the box to the
white visitors. The old pastor rose at
last and preached a sermon that was
at the same time eloquent, earnest and
misunderstanding right at the
white folks-and his description of the
poverty of the church was so impress
siVe that when the deacons passed the
contribution boxes around for the
third time Mr.. Carnegie intercepted
one and dropped $50 bill in the box.
The old preacher counted their con-
tents. When he had finished he placed
handful of small change on one side
and crisp grenback on the other.
Clearing his throat he said:
"Breddern, we has been greatly
blessed by dish yer contribution. We
has heah TO douahs an fo'ty cents dat
is good, an if de $50 bill put in by de
white gemman wild de gray whiskers is
