RUSSIA'S NOBILITY TITLES.
No Real Aristocracy in tho Land Of
tho Gear in Its True
Sense.

In appraising the value Of the title
which the car has conferred upon Ser.
gius Witte in creating him a count, in
recognition Of his great services to
Russia at Portsmouth, 1t may be we'll
to look into the subject Of titles of no.
biltty in the Russian empire, says the
Philadelphia Ledger.
perhaps an exaggerated idea has
teen given of the lowliness of Whites
family origin. and the ennoblement
may therefore seem to be OF greater
consequence than 1t really Is. But it
must be understood that the no
blesse" In Russia can in no sense be
compared with those of England and
tho countries Of western Europe In
the case Of England, France and Ger
many the noble families have behind
them the traditions Of centuries OF
ftruggle to protect their position from
encroachment both from above and be-
low. They were not only united to re-
sist the growing political power of tn ,
sovereign, but they had to protect
their caste from contamination by the
flower classes" Under different mol
ern conditions their influence and posi-
ton have been greatly modified, but
they still retain the traditions of Gull
ture and refinement and enjoy certain
privileges-social and political - Of
more or less Importance. Whether they
sre entitled to it, or not, they all re-
tain an innate feeling of superiority
over their fellows and so have deve!-
oped an esprit de corps which is dis
tinguishing characteristic of the Co.
man baron, the English noble and the
French gentleman alike. greatly as
they may differ in actual privileges a.: i
influence.
In Russia, on the other hand, it has
been said that in the true sense there
is no aristocracy. There are great couit
families, Of course but these owe
their position not to birth but to Off
cial rank. Russian "princes' are so
numerous that the title means little or
nothing and the story is told of one Of
the rank who earned his livelihood by
driving cab in the Russian capital
This is easily understood when it is re-
membered that in Russia all the chill
cren bear the titles of their parents
and that there are hosts of legitimate
bearers of tho rank who would not be-
received into polite society anywhere,
much less in their own country. Fur
thermore, the titles of count and baron
are Of foreign origin, dating only from
the time of Peter the Great, and the
latter being held chiefly by descend
ants of court bankers. To these must
be added the German counts and bar

THE UNDER MARRIAGE.


Wedding Customs and FrOIics That
Prevail In Holland.
In Holland two weeks before a mar
rage takes place cards are sent out de-
cIaring that the banns have been pub
IIshed. This is called an under mar
riage." The card also announces when
the final marriage is to take place. The
wedding itself is a small affair, and
the civil marriage is the only one rec
ognized by law. A church wedding is
usually looked upon as a concession to
either fashion or sentimentality and is
called "consecration of the marriage"
The couple enter the church behind the
family members, bridesmaids and 9th
or attendants. They are shown to seats
before the whole assembly, and the
clergyman comes in with two witness
es .ong after the others have been seat
ed. He first makes a prayer, then de-
Hyers a sermon on a suitable text,
which usually brings the bride to tears.
After that the couple are married. Then
a hymn is sung and the blessing given.
The whole occupies about an hour and
a quarter. Before leaving the church
a huge Bible is presented to the bride
groom. During the two weeks of wait
ing between the under marriage" and
the real marriage all the wedding fes-
tivities take place. The happy couple
are literally surfeited with dinners,
balls and theater parties. and all man
ner of practical jokes are played on the
pair. At the dinner toasts innumerable
are given, and at each the whole COM
pany rises from the table to sound and
touch glasses with the bride and groom,
who never rise. Among their friends
the idea is not to allow the couple a
night of sleep, if possible, before the
wedding day,

Racing Ponies In India.

Not much more enviable than the lot
of the unfortunate man who is reported
to have grown shorter is that of racing
ponies in India, Egypt and elsewhere,
which are made to measure from three
quarters of an inch to a full inch lower
than their natural measurements. Par
ing the hoof can only be done to a GER
tain extent But ponies can be educat-
ed TO stand with their heels apart, and
if the head is tied up for some time
before they are put under the standard
they will stand to their best advantage
Two pounds avoirdupois per quarter
inch is the regular allowance in the
"scale for age class and inches. Lon

A FRIENDS TRIBUTE.
In Memory of Mr.. I. Hurley


'In the midst of life We are In
DEATH
| have before my mind the picture
OF two incidents which have occurred
in our city in less than two years, one
of which was fully described by The
Journals society editor at the time, viz.
the wedding of Mr.. 7. Hurley to Miss
Anita LangfOrd, on the 9th OF Sep
TENDER, 1903. Hardly ever has there
been seen a more lovely bride or a
finer groom than came down the aisle
of ST. Michaels church that evening.
She, the loved daughter of fond pa
rents. had married a truly good man,
well pleasing to all her dear ones, and
the bright rainbow of promise seemed
to gid their every prospect.
Alas! for human hopes,
How soon they fade and pass away!
Like fairest. richest blossoms,
Their breath is but decay.
Within the last three weeks the
other picture has come before us:
The lovely home which was at first
filed with a happy thrOng of guests
and cheerful merry voices, was hushed
and darkened. The same guests came
again, but with sObs of sympathy in
stead of bright greetings of congratu-
latiOn. Slowly they moved from that
home now all dark and sOmbre. The
father, who before so proudly carried
his daughter on his arm, arrayed in
bridal robes, up st. MichaePs aisle
and gave her to a noble husband, has
carried her up that aisle again, now
covered with a widows robes, and fol-
lowing the bier of the loved one she
before met at that altar.
Not two years have passed away,
yet so much of joy and woe has come
To her! A wife is left to mourn one
of the best of husbands and a little
girl of five months will never know a
human fathers love.
But the Father of the fatherlesS
knOweth best,
He has only gathered his own to his
breast;
Fleeing time will bring them together
again,
Where is naught of sorrow, parting
or pain.
During the short interval of Mr..
Hurley's married life he had endeaTed
himself to every member of Mr.. Lang
fOrd's household. to father and mother
as a dearly beloved son, and to sister
and brothers as one of themselves.

HINDOO CREMATION.
The Funeral Pyre and the Rites Be-
fore the Burning.

The Funeral Pyre and the Rites Be-
fore the Burning.
Toward the upper end of the CHATS
is the burning ground. There are no
steps here, but a slope of beaten dirt.
Stop half an hour and you may see
every step of the cremation rites. Sit
ting on stone ramparts above, to the
right and left, are friends and relatives
of the dead ones. The figure to the
right, huddled up in a bright green
wrap, is of the lowest caste of HindOo
and keeps the mat shed near by, where
the sacred fire for igniting every corpse
is for sale. You hear hoarse, loud cries
of "Raml Ramana!' and, behold,
burial procession is coming down the
slope. -Four men carry the corpse
slung between two bamboo poles and
cry to the god Ram. He is the persona
fication of f1Iial love, and thus it is
meet that they should call him to wit
ness. They swing down to the river
and immense the corpse. 1t is wrap
ped in a white Shroud stained with red
blotches. Then they lift the head
slightly out of the water and remove
the shroud from the face, splashing
water five times upon the mouth.
Others in the meantime are building
wooden pyre, made of fagOts sold
near by and when finished standing
three feet or more above ground. The
corpse, its dark color showing through
the dripping shroud, is then placed on
the wooden altar and covered with
fagots. This done, all but two mount
the ramparts and watch the final cere-
mony. OF the two remaining, one
pours oil upon the wood from small
clay dish, while the other goes to the
fire house above. He soon returns with
a long straw wisp, blazing at one end.
He advances to the corpse's head,
touches it with the wisp and then cir
cles the pyre five times, touching the
head each time until the fifth, when
he places the blazing wisp beneath the
feet. and the whole pile bursts into
fame. When all is consumed the ashes
are raked into the river and float away

CLEANING UP IS
PROGRESSING
NICELY
And City Authorities Are Well
Pleased With the Work
Being Done.

The work of cleaning up the city
and placing it in a first-class sanitary
condition is proceeding nicely, and the
city authorities are well pleased with
the progress made. In fact il has ex-
ceeded their expectations. Citizens
have taken a hand in the work with a
will and many yards and gardens have
been placed in good condition, the
weeds and grass being cut out. and oil
placed in all cesspools and places
where stagnant water has formed.
Mayor Bliss stated yesterday after
noon that the work of placing Pensa-
cola in the best possible sanitary con-
ditiOn was going on rapidly, and he
was well satisfied with the work that
has been accomplished during the past
two days. The big force of men under
Street superintendent Gingles has sue
ceeded in clearing many of the streets
of weeds, while the force of sanitary
inspectors is making the rounds in all
portions of the city ordering the
cleaning up of premises, and as each
( inspector is equipped with a can of oil
they also assist in the good work, as
! oil is poured in every cesspool or Wher-
ever stagnant water is found.
! The street force has been working
! so fast that the city carts have been
unable to keep pace with them, and
the latter are now at least one hundred
: loads behind the street force. 1t is
respected that additional drays will
have to be employed to carry away the
weeds that are being cut down in va
rious sections of the city.

THE ESSENCE OF
LIFE.
THE BLOOD

is the very essence of life. Keep the
blood healthy and the various organs
will be healthy. The way by which
the blood is to be kept pure and
healthy is not by administering So
called blood tonics, but by keeping the
glands of the body pure, sweet and
clean, and this is to be accomplished
by a gentle assistance to nature.
Nature rebels against the powerful
drugs that are administered to-day for
her assistance. She does not stand in
need Of them; they always do her
harm. Do not put powerful drugs into
your stomach.
