THE RIVER BED SUNK.

Special to The Sentinel
stockton, Cal. May . II has been
discovered that in the vicinity Of
Woodbridge the Mokelmune river
has fallen twelve feet, the head of
the river having dropped from the eff
fects OF the recent earthquake.
The stream had been carrying a
lot of water when 1t was noticed that
the river was steadily falling. con
trary to all precedent An investi-
cation showed that the bed was al
most twelve feet lower than before.
As the waterway has been stead
lily filling mp the past year with silt
from the upper portion of the river,
farmers along that stream are high
ly pleased with the change since il
can carry far more water than here
tofore. and not endanger their lands
on either side of it.

MARRIAGE EASY IN SCOTLAND.
Simple Declaration suffices to Mako
Couple Man and Wife.

To be married by Scotch laws one
must have resided for fortnight IN
the country. After that it is quite suf-
fcient for two people to say before
witnesses that they take each other
as man and wife to marry them as
legally and as firmly as If the arch
bishop of Canterbury himself had per-
formed the ceremony. 1t is not alone
when the declaration is solemn and In
territorial that the marriage is bind.
ing. Such a declaration made in jest
is enough to hold as firmly as IL 1t
were in earnest. Many young people
have thus slipped into matrimony I'M
Willingly
Even for a man TO address a woman
as his wife, either by writing or by
speech, and for her to respond in the
same terms, constitutes marriage In
Scotland. Anyone who has ever read
Wilkie Collins novel, Man and
Wife," will remember there a case in
point. The heroine sends note to
the hero, signing herself Your Wife;
he is sufficiently careless and indif-
o. her own letter, and sign himself
Your Husband" This note, crumpled
up and tossed aside as of no value,
falls into the hands of an unscrupu-
lous person, who, to levy blackmail
on the hero, keeps 1t, and produces
it as evidence OF marriage. No other
form had been gone through and yet
the couple were married legally.
