Nuremberg.

Nuremberg, whose walls are report
ed to be showing signs of rapid decay,
was once almost the richest and most
famous town in Europe. The well
known saying Of Pope Plus 1l.-that
a Nuremberg citizen was better or
than a Scottish king-was justified by
the accounts that have been preserved
of the town and its burghers. In the
fifteenth century there came from
Nuremberg the first watches known as
Nuremberg eggs;;" the first cannon,
the first gun lock, the first wire draw
ing machine, the clarinet, certain de-
scriptions of pottery and the art OF
painting on glass. For 800 years its
now decaying walls defended the val
ley of the Pegnitz against all enemies.
Four hundred towers once topped the
walls, but only about a third OF them
now remain.

A wedding In Holland.

A Dutch wedding is curious con-
trast to an English one. In Holland
the wedding party enters the church
two and two, the procession being
headed by the bride and bridegroom
Forms are arranged in a semicircle
round the pulpit, and there the young
people with their friends and relatives
seat themselves. The ceremony con-
sists of the reading Of portion OF
Scripture and long admonition to the
bride and bridegroom, delivered extern
pore by the black gowned minister
The prayers are sat through like the
rest of the service, for it is against
Calvinistic custom to kneel to pray
At the close of the service Bibles are
presented to the young couple and to
certain of their relatives. Then the
marriage is registered. This free dis
tribution of Bibles, which is made by
the state, accounts for the very small
sale there is for the Holy Scriptures
in Holland.

The millionaire Malady.

Men who have sacrificed health and
youth. scrimped their families and in
iured their digestion in the acquire
ment of 'pile" often think they are
public benefactors and that humanity
in general owes them debt Of graft
tude for being so rich. In consequence
they resent as cruel injustice the IA
tigue, chagrin and newspaper notoriety
that money invariably brings in its
trail. 1t would be about as consistent
for a little boy who had gorged himself
on purloined apples to feel injured
when an avenging stomach ache fol-
lowed gluttony.-Eliot Gregory in Cen
