Red Bridal Gowns.

1t Is of interest to note that the
choice of white for wedding gowns Is
comparatively of modern origin. The
Roman brides wore yellow. and In
most eastern countries pink is the
bridal color. During the middle ages
and in the renaissance period brides
wore crimson to the exclusion Of ali
other colors. Most of the Plantagenet
and Tudor queens were married In that
vivid hue, which is still popular In
parts Of Brittany. where the bride Is
usually dressed In crimson brotade. II

in 1858, which took place not befoge the

Notre Dame, she was gowned in W, lite
brocade, with train of pale blue ar

innovation caused great stir in the
fashionable world of that time. 1t was
not, however, until quite the end of the
seventeenth century that pure white

came popular for bridal garments.

A Speedy Recovery.

On one of the visits of the American
feet to English waters Admiral Erben
was In command, with Captain Alfred
T. Mahan, the writer on naval affairs,
as his flag captain. One morning Cap
tain Nahan came to his admiral with
an invitation TO dine with duke which
he had received
II can't accept" said Captain Ma
han, ''as they forgot to invite you
Il should say you couldn't" growled
the admiral I'm answer for you"
Whereupon the admiral wrote:
Admiral Erben, United States navy,
regrets that Captain Mahan. his flag
captain, cannot accept the invitation Of
the Duke of Blank. Captain Mahan is
on the sick list"
An hour or so later messenger from
the duke returned with invitations for
the admiral and the captain. where
upon the admiral wrote again:
Admiral Erben accepts with pleas
ure the invitation for Captain Mahan
and himself. He wishes also to adj
wise the Duke of Blank that he has
taken Captain Mahan off the sick list"

An English traveller through Kash-
mir found In practice there novel
method Of putting fodder up for win
ter use. The country lies in valley
among the Himalayas. The chief in
dustry of the people consists in raising
fine wool and in making this into fab
rics which have carried the name Of
the country all over the world. A Gu
rious custom in some places is that of
hanging quantities Of hay up among
the branches of trees. Why 1t was
done was more than could guess, till
my guide informed me that in winter
the snow lies five and six yards In
depth and that the supplies of hay,
which now look only as il they were
meant for camelopards. are then easily
reached by the hocks of sheep which
abound there.

Success.

A Boston firm offered a prize of $3.50 to
the person WHO would submit the best
definition of success. The prize was
won by lady in Nebraska, Mrs. Stanton.
This is what she wrote:
"He has achieved success who has lived
well, laughed often, and loved much; who
has gained the respect of intelligent men
and the love of little children; who has
filled his niche and accomplished his task;
who has left the world better then he
found IT, whether by an improved poppy,
perfect poem or a rescued soul; who has
never lacked appreciation of earth's
beauty, or failed to express it; who has
always looked for the best in others and
given the best he had; whose life was an
inspiration; whose memory bene-
diction."

NEW YORK, Nov 2S.-There was an
hour of moderately active trading in
stocks after the opening today and the
market settled down into the usual pre-
holiday dullness.
The dullness resulted in the conces-
sion of the gains which were establish
ed in the first hour The tone was
heavy afterward. Professional traders
were evidently disposed to close zip
their contracts over the holiday.
The effect of the preparations for the
December settlements was perceptible
in the money market and the. rise in the
call loan market had some depressing
effect The whole market was narrow
and almost entirely professional and
therefore caused slight Significance.
The Union Pacific annual report con-
tinued to occupy large share of at
tention. The stock was not active In
the market. however, and there was
some apprehension that the good news
on the stock had already been dis
counted. as in other instances lately.
The powerful position of the company
in the matter of cash assets was much
commented upon. the item showing q
total of over $56,000, 000, of which nearly
$35, 100000 were placed in demand loans.
To the apprehension of the Wall
street public demand loans are sug-
gestive of facilities for holding of stock
on margins and the immunity of i'm
portant speculative holdings from the
subject of constant comment. The fact
is cited in the same connection with the
Pacific stocks have held a foremost
place in the speculation for many
months past.
The Bank of England made a gain of
upward of $2,000,0000 in gold today, of
which $1.000,000 came from Paris. The
London market was affected, however
by reports that further engagements of
gold for shipment to Brazil are inn
pending.
The compilation of the condition OF
the New York trust companies as OF
November IA showed the effects of the
operation of the new reserve law
Compared with the August report there
is shown a decrease in loans of $4,027,.
500 and an increase of specie holding o.
$5.3SS, 800. In the yearly comparison
there is a contraction in the loan item
of $6,75S,S00, a growth in specie Of
24115,100 and in legal tenders of 81
T11.200
|. The strong report of Rock Island net
clearings for October helped to explain
the recent advance in the stock. Buy
ing of New York Central was attributed
to the approaching period of subscrip-
tion rights to new stock.
The market was lethargic for the
latter part of the day and closed
irregular.
