AS stated IN the Review last week
the wedding Of DR.. J. II. Vogel and
Miss Antoinette Crone took place at
the home of the brides parents. The
wedding was beautiful as much because
of ms simplicity and lack OF formality
as for any other reason. Exquisite
taste prevailed in the arrangements
and the decorations made the room
look almost like fairy land.
Carl Crone and Chas. Schorregge
ushered the wedding couple to their
places and Miss Jennie Crone and Mr.
Chas. Stueoe accompanied them. The
ceremony was performed by Rev. c.
j. Albrecht OF the Lutheran church
after which there was a sumptuous
wedding dinner and the guests were
then permitted to do as they pleased.

THE POWER OF ATTENTION.
When Exceptional It Results in Ge-
MUS or in Great Accomplishments.

From the Century Magazine.
The fact that the mind of man is easily
distracted from any subject in contempla-
ton accounts for the slowness of the de-
velopment of most minds. and for the ex-
treme slowness OF the development Of the
human mind collectively. There histor-
ical periods when general enlightenment
seems to have advanced by leaps and
bounds, but when one takes cognizance OF
the tens of thousands of years that man
has been at play In the kindergarten OF
creation one Is aware of the very gradual
and deliberate character of human progress
as whole, and this deliberativeness of
growth and the remains of ignorance and
superstition even in minds regarded as
educated comes largely from the inability
of men to keep their thoughts employed
steadfastly on the various objects and
problems of matter, mind and l!fe. The fac
ulty of attention is strikingly lacking In
the savage man; It increases as civilization
increases, and is a large factor In the ad-
vance of civilization and of culture.
When the power of attention is excep-
tional In the individual he is set apart
from his fellows: he is a genius In the bust
ness world, or perhaps poet. artist, IN
ventor, discoverer, philosopher. reformer,
statesman. or conqueror. When the power
Of attention in a community has been slim
ulated by one attentive mind or by group
of attentive minds the world passes through
periods OF great mental ACTIVITY great re-
forms take place: there is great material or
intellectual advance. or there are revivals
in letters and in the plastic arts.
The supreme object of the teacher is to
cultivate attention in his or her charges.
When a child has learned how to pay atten-
ton he has learned how to study and to
learn object lessons" are favorite devices
for fixing attention. According TO the ortho-
dox theologies religion has been taught TO
mankind largely through. object lessons, In
the form sometimes of progressive revela-
tions:" and the systems of symbols in all
religions NAV be called simply devices for
fixing the wandering attention of souls for
their sustenance and lasting benefit.
We see. wear in and out. the coming and
going of beliefs customs. popular heroes or
mere popular pets: best sellers among
books, sports. movements and fads of all
kinds, which figure prominently only as
long as they are able to claim the attention
of large groups of the entire community.
The whole system of business advertising
and the infinite number of publicity depart
ments-publicity as to all sorts of wares and
all manner of cauSeS-are nothing but
means of securing attention, of spreading
information and inducing action through
suggestion.

EDWARD AND HIS CLOTHES.
Averages Two Suits Week, Not
Counting His Uniforms.


From the Cleveland Plain Dealer
King Edwards tailors have a standing or
der to provide him with about one hundred
suits year. exclusive of military uniforms
and court costumes.
These suits cost between $50 and 500
each The king selects cloth and patterns
and Is said to make his selections so rapid
iy that in ten minutes he will choose 81 600
worth of clothes. When the king has Sc
lected certain cloth the tailor uses 1t for
no other customer His hour for a seance
with the tailor is IL am. and he is said
to be a marvel of punctuality. He is also
pretty good lightning change artist for
a mere monarch. He gets out OF and into
his clothes with extreme dispatch
There Is only one other man In the world
William the Second to None, who pos
sesses more uniforms than King Edward
The kaisers outfit, it is said, includes 1000
of them. But the kaiser delights in dom
ming gorgeous costumes
King Edward wears them only when the
exigencies of the king business demand
that he should make show of himself.
He Is however, most particular about what
might be called the official part of his out
fit.
He has an inventory made once month
OF his uniforms in stock accompanied by
carefully prepared statement of their con-
dition. They are never allowed to get
shabby The slightest blemish on u uni
form condemns it and 1t becomes the per-
quisite of the superintendent of the ward
robe or one of his assistants. OF these
there are four, two of them being expert
tailors.
The room which is called the royal ward
robe at Buckingham Palace is 80 feet long
by SO wide, and with its accumulation of
coats, overcoats. waistcoats. trousers,
shirts, underwear, ties, boots, shoes, socks,
stockings. hats in great variety, etc. it
looks much like the stockroom of a ready
made Quitting establishment The apart
ment devoted to the kings official clothes
Is still larger
When there are big functions on hand the
king sometimes is obliged to make dozen
changes a day, and he never puts on fewer
than three different suits daily.
The statement made that he never wears
the same suit twice is erroneous. He does
make it rule never to wear the same suit
twice on consecutive days
AS are most stout men, he is hardest on
his trousers. Because he will not tolerate
the suggestion of wrinkle in his neither
garments, he rarely wears a pair of trousers
more than three four times. In this
way he gets through quite 100 pairs In the
course of year.
gard to overcoats. He INDUCES in great
variety of headgear, and his experiments
in hats and caps from time to time have
resulted in popularizing no less than seven
distinct varieties.

SMOKE TO PROTECT VINES.
Plan of a Grape Grower to Save His
Crop From Frost.

From London rit-Bits
One of the most successful growers OF
grapes In France today Is NJ. Bgnon, a
scientist as well as an agriculturist. who has
lately been explaining to the members of
the Frer Oh National Society Of Agriculture
the methods he adopts for saving his vine
yards from late frosts. NJ. Bignon declares
that for many years he has employed arti-
fetal clouds for the prevention of frosts,
and that. had his example been followed
by others, millions of francs worth of wine
might have been saved.
My plan of operation" says NJ Bignon
sis very simple. Along my walks, at a
distance of some fifty feet apart, l have
basins sunk into the earth to the depth of
about a foot. Into these basins I place
from fifteen to twenty pounds of resinous
matter and some pieces of, pine and other
vegetable debris. This makes cloud OF
sufficient size to keep any ordinary frost
from affecting my vines. The amount of
material used, of course, depends On the
length OF the frost.

Gus. and IL We get three or four during a
season we consider ourselves very badly
used. In 1908 the frosts were bad, and
l had recourse to these artificial fires four
times with perfect success. The resinous
matter creates a dense cloud which hangs
over the vines like a curtain, producing
a temperature which successfully keeps at
| a distance those blighting frosts SO destruc-

The English Ha-Ha.
rom Country Life IN America.


Literally IT is an extremely clever ar
rangement of the landscape gardener Of
long ago (for one may suppose he was of
long ago. as the ha-ha is found oftenest in
old places) and IT is the device of one who
dealt with English gardens attached to
broad English private parks. Its raison
d'etre is the following:
In most private parks deer. cattle or
sheep are usually pastured partly for the
unitarian purpose of fertilization and close
cropping of the turf ard partly because Of
their forming a picturesque detail Deer
are obviously ornamental, so are fine cattle,
especially small herds of the shaggy black
Highland bulls or stag-eyed Jerseys, and
nothing produces q softly completing
effect than a scattered flock of snow white
sheep straying and nibbling or resting in
groups under spreading boughs of oaks and
beeches. From these, of course. the garden
must be protected by some sufficient bar
rter. and for this purpose the ha-ha was in
vented.
A feature OF most park surrounded pleas
ure grounds is that it has been part of the
designers plan that they shall not appear
to be limited by any stretch of fence or
hedge which would break the line of sight.
but that the garden shall produce the effect
of melting into the sward of the park and
seem to be part of its broad sweeps and
spaces. A hedge or fence would form an
obvious boundary, and the ha-ha was the
ingenious alternative
A dry moat is dug where lawns Join park
lands. One side, that toward the lawns, is
perpendicular; the other gently slopes; the
tops are carefully leveled with each other
and the whole neatly turfed. The perpen-
dicular side is usually fitted with a short
horizontal fence of wire netting to prevent
ineursions of rabbits. No animal can cross
this and when It is carefully leveled the
result achieved is that. even when one
stands at a distance of only a few yards
from IT, the eve notes no break in the
sweep of the turf and nothing of the
barrier either depression or fencing the
moat being below the line Of view instead
of forming q limiting obstruction to it.
