Passing of Orange blossoms.

Reports of the fashionable weddings
in England in the last few months
seem to show that orange blossoms,
once an essential part of the bridal
toilet everywhere in the British Isles.
are declining in favor with English
brides. One distinguished maiden
went to the altar in St Georges, Lon
don, wearing wreath of myrtle. an
otser with white heather and myrtle,
several with lilies of the valley and
one or two with tiny Marechal Mel
roses.
The principal objection raised to
orange blossoms is that as natural
flowers their perfume is oppressive
and brides dislike the artificial substi-
tutes. But love of change and a wish
to bring little originality into wed
ding attire probably has more than
anything else to do with introducing
the new fashion.

What bliss to have mobiles in the fam

So it was all arranged between Miss
Astor and the Duke OF Roxburghe. But
n grave omission was made in the ar

the duke really fell in love with the
girl that everybody said he ought to

But she dldn't fall in love with him.
Contrariwise. she fell in love with

nothing, but the handsomest man in

Lord Gresham, who kept his fifty
first birthday last week, was doubly
connected and in curious way, with
the late Duke of Westminster, who was
not only his brother-in-law, but also
his father-in-law, as Lord Gresham
married his Graces daughter by his
first wife. Lady Gresham was, in con-
sequence of this double alliance. sis

Duchess of Westminster became moth

by his second wife were at the same
time his great-nephews and nieces.

father was particularly anxious to keep
Captain Fraser out of her tight, be-
cause he was too attractive for man

How the two met is not known.
Some say when riding in the park In

Astor saw Captain Fraser sitting his

never forgot him.

Elunders in the Type.

Errors of the press often begin with
errors of the reporters who have
misunderstood spoken words. The
rule of follow copy compels the COM
positor to repeat the exact words writ
ten by the reporter and the following
plumbers are the result of obedience to
this rule. A speaker made this state
ment:
In these days clergymen are ex-
pected to have the wisdom and learn
ing of Jeremy Taylor" But the re-
porter wrote, and the compositor re-
peated: so the wisdom and
learning of a journeyman tailor"
Another speaker quoted these lines:
Oh, come. thou goddess fair and free,
In heaven yclept Euphroyne.
They were printed as written:
Oh, come, thou goddess fair and free,
In heaven she crept and froze her
knee.
Another orator quoted this line
from Tennyson's ''Locksley Halr'
Better fifty years of Europe than a
cycle of Cathay.
But the quotation was written and
printed:
Better fifty years in Europe than a
circus in Bombay.
One of the worst perversions of a
hackneyed quotation incorrectly Civ

seems to be the joint work of the zeal

A Crusoe coincidence.

The Rev DR. Everett Hale calls at
tention to some quaint and curious
features in connection with Robinson
Crusoe. which have not hitherto been
Dointed out He writes:
Readers who are curious in Eng
lish history must not fail to observe
that Robinson Crusoe was shipwreck-
ed on his island the 30th of September,
1859. 1t was in that month that the
English commonwealth ended. and
Richard Cromwell left the palace at
Whitehall Robinson lived in this
island home for twenty-eight years.
These twenty-eight years covered the
exact period of the Stuart reign in
England. Robinson Crusoe returned
TO England in June, 1887; the conven-
,tion Parliament, which established
William III, met in London at the
same time. All this could not be &C
cidental coincidence. Defoe must

Ivory at Antwerp.

Since 1895 Antwerp has held the first
place in the world as the market for
the importation and sale of ivory. 1t
sold in the three months ending Oct.
80 last 1870, 900 pounds Of ivory. of which
LAG. 900 pounds came from the Congo
basin, now the largest source OF this
commodity.
It is interesting to observe in the
report of the last quarterly sales that
130.7s9 pounds, or nearly the entire
quantity coming from the Congo. Is
classified as hard ivory" This means
that most of the ivory now coming out
OF Africa is from animals not recently
killed. but from those that may have
been dead for years. In other words,
the greater part of the ivory industry
at this time has to do with ivory which
traders are now collecting from the
natives. which is not the result Of re-
cent hunting.
Millions of dollars worth Of this
ivory has undoubtedly been lost to
commerce in the past century. Scarce

England In EcYpt.

The abstract of the Egyptian budget
which we receive from Cairo is an
other proof of the great material i'm
provement which has befallen that
land since English administrators
brought honesty to the task of gov
erning it. Each year the surplus
grows. and what is even more satisfac-
tory to the poor Egyptian, each year
the taxation is diminished. The present
budget, in spite of reduction of
6 CO. 900 in taxes, shows surplus of
G2i0,000, after the due installment of
over 100000 has been paid into the
caisse of the public debt. 1t is true
that expenses have been high owing
to an extra expenditure of 100000 on
the railway, but that is an outlay
which may safely be counted upon to
repay itself both in revenue and in
the general increase of agricultural
and other prosperity. The savings has
chiefly been in army expenses and the
suppression of useless officials.
