WORLDWIDE WREATHS.

For many centuries the recognized
thing for a bride in this country has
been a wreath OF orange blossoms.
The question Is especially interesting
when the fact is noted that in many
countries the orange blossom is entire
~ tabooed.
The German bride wears myrtle, the
girl Of the Black Forest takes thehower
Of the hawthorn when she can get it.
The brides of Italy and the French prov
lnces OF Switzerland use white roses.
Spanish brides go in for pinks. carna-
lions, and red roses.
In Norway, Sweden, and Servia the
bridal crown Is Of silver. In Bavaria
are used. In the Islands Of Greece, vine
leaves; IN Bohemia, rosemary, and so
on.
The Roman bridal wreath was OF YER
bena. Holly wreaths were sent as tok-
ems Of congratulation. and wreaths OF
parsley and rue were given under the
idea that they were the best preventives
OF the influence OF evil spirits.
The practice Of wearing the ORANGE
blossom has been been derived from the
Saracens, among whom the particular
blossom was regarded as "A symbol Of
prosperous marriage, circumstances
the fact that I'm the East the orange
tree bears ripe fruit, and blossoms at
the same time. You will also read that
the flower was introduced into the we'd
ding customs Of our country by French
milliners, having been selected for its
beauty rather than for any symbolical
meaning.

DUSTLESS HIGHWAYS.

How to obtain Justices highways has
long been a problem TO which NUM-
cipal supervisors In all parts of the
world have been devotjng a great deal
OF attention. An official report Of the
Department OF Bridges and Roads in
France shows the continuance OF good
results obtained in rendering roads free
from. dust by coating the surface with
tar. The engineer for the Siene and
Marine Departments reports that after
al unsuccessful trial OF a mixture Of
oil and petroleum a coating Of tar was
In the summer of 1902 laid down on
seven different lengths of the road
a period OF twelve months. he finds the
dust and mud have wholly disappeared
and the cost OF maintenance OF the
roads has been considerably reduced
Further comparing the previous out
lay on the roads with that OF those with
torred surface, he says: 1T appears
that the tarrinR method requires no
greater outlay and at the same time
very considerably improves the con-
dition or the roadway. In La Cher two
lengths OF the Chausee Rationale were
coated with tar I'm June and August of
1902 Both these experiments have been
entirely successful, the road now being
covered with elastic skin, while the
sound Of foot passengers tread Is muf-
fed and horses and oxen require only
one-half the effort they put forth be
fore. The noise and vibration caused
Oy vehicular traffic is much reduced
ana neither dust nor mud Is formed on

SHE HAS SEVERAL ARRESTED

INDIANAPOLIS, June I1.-Mrs. Al
eXanter Laughlin, a widow, who owns
some fine farming lands in the edge OF
Brown county, has blocked the con-
struction Of the Indianapolis Southern
Railroad. Forty men turned away
from the proposed roadbed rather than
come in contact with the determined
woman.
The construction gang had just
reached her land wnen she appearer
and ordered them TO quit work. When
they attempted to drive on she got in
front of the teams and turned them in
the opposite direction.
The pick and shovel men ignored her
commands. She went away and re-
turned with a revolver. The next COM
mand to quit work was oDeyed with
alacrity.
Then the woman mounted a horse,
rode to Nashville, and had the foreman
and several others arrested for tres
pass.
The officers of the company say some
mistake has been made. as they have
purchased the entire right or way rOr

lieved to be the son OF wealthy parents
and a graduate Of Packard University Of
Virginia
The man. who Is an artist, has been
occupying a small hut near the edge OF
the wood for some months. During that
time he has made several creditabie
sketches of surrounding landscapes. and
the interior Of his abode is covered with
fine paintings.
