Measuring Brides.

Measuring brides for legacies is the
remarkable ceremony which annually
takes place in st. Cyrus, a quaint little
village in Kincardineshire, Scotland,
on the brink of the German ocean.
More than fifty years ago a native OF
the village, who had been paymaster
general of the Indian army, beQueath-
ed sum of money, the interest of
which was, for all time coming, to be
d1sbursed in five equal parts every
year. One part was for the purchase
OF meal for the poor, while the remain
der was set aside to be divided among
each years four conspicuous brides
the Oldest, the youngest, the taIlest and
the shortest-whO were married in st.
Cyrus parish church.
The administration of the fund is in
the hands of the parish minister, and
unhappy at times is his task, such are
the jealOusieS which arise among the
competitors, for there is keen rivalry
for these legacies, which amount to
hardly more than $50 each But that
is quite an important sum in so remote
and simple a village. All St Cyrus
turns out on bride measuring day."
and the occasion is made a holiday.

The Girl of the Netherlands.

The Dutch girl does not enjoy any
thing like the amount of freedom
granted to her English or American
sister. She is a very carefully chap
erOned young person, and when she
goes to the theaCer it is with her elders,
not merely with a friend or two of her
own age. At the dances she attends,
songs, recitations and music for the
entertainment of the elders form
part of the regular programme, and the
chaperons sit at tables socially enjoy
ing their coffee or other refreshments,
while the young folk glide over the
waXed floor to the strains of the latest
waltz. Dutch maidens have to make
the best of their opportunities of
amusement, for when it pleases their
parents to seek the quiet of home they
must meekly accompany them. In
their country the idea of a girl being
unchaperoned at a dance is not to be
thought of-at any rate, not yet-Ex-

Good Play of a Golf Enthu.,..,

The W1lkie shot is what we call a
special stroke in the game of golf" said
New Orleans man. ''This stroke is
so called ali over the south and was
given its name because it was made
by man named Wilkie, a member of
the New Orleans Golf club.
1T was one of the prettiest plavs
ever saw and was made during a
match Wilkie drove off from the ninth
hole, and his ball landed in a small
creek, which was one of the hazards
IN the course. The ball was lighter
than the water and hoated. To take
1t out and begin play over again meant
the loss of two strokes and the hole. SO
WIlk1e Waded into the water which
was about two feet deep, and played
the ball from there. He made q pretty
stroke and was on the green, making
1t in two. He hOled out in three. which
is bogey for that hole. 1t was a cold
day, and that water was not pleasant.
but the act gained Wilkie lasting fame.
and his stroke will always with US
be called a Wilkie ot"-LouisvilIe

Aphasia and Amnesia.

Aphasia is an affection akin to am
nesia, both of them being the result of
a disease of the cerebrum. But ANNE
sia, or loss of memory. manifests it
self in an inability to recall events or
words and in the latter case the sub
stitution of wrong words in the place
of those Intended to be used. For in
stance. a brush might be spoken of a
a comb or a dog as a giraffe. There is
no loss of the power of articulation. In
aphasia. or loss of speech, on the other
hand, the sufferer is unable to utter
any connected sentence. His speech is
often the merest babble. with an occa-
sional word interjected. He may un-
derstand what is read to him, yet be
unable to read-be may have, that is,
word blindness" or be may have
word deafness and be unable to un-
derstand what is said to him.
