WORLDS GREATEST WEDDING.
Over Twenty Thousand Persons Mar
ried by Ono Ceremony.

Over Twenty Thousand Persons Mar
ried by Ono Ceremony.
The biggest wedding ever known to
history was when Alexander the Great
and over 10000 of his soldiers took
part In a wedding in the court OF
Darius, king of Persia, after the lat
ter's conquest by Alexander. Twenty
thousand, two hundred and two per-
sons were made husbands and wives
in one ceremony.
The facts are these, says the Chi
cago Tribune. After conquering King
Darius, Alexander determined to wed
Statiro. daughter Of the conquered
king, and issued a decree that on that
occasion 100 of his chief officers
should marry 100 women from the
noblest Persian and Medean families.
He further stipulated that 10000 OF
his Greek soldiers should take to wire
1000 Asiatic women.
For this purpose a vast paVlilon
was erected, the pillars being sixty
feet high. One hundred gorgeous
chambers adjoined this for the 1OO
noble brldegrooms. while for the o.
600 soldiers an outer court was in
closed. Outside of this tables were
spread for the multitude.
Each pair had seats and ranged
themselves in a semi-circle round the
royal throne. AS 1t would have taken
several weeks for the few priests to
have married this vast number or
couples had the ceremony been per-
formed in the ordinary way, Alexan-
der invented a simple way out OF the
difficulty. He gave his hand to Sta
tiro and kissed her, and all the re-
naming bridegrooms did the same to
the women beside them, and thus
ended the ceremony that united the
greatest number of people at one time
ever known.
Then occurred a five days festival,
which for grandeur and magnificence
never has since been equaled.

to reach the beach, where he sank
down in distress. The hook he man
aged to tear from his hand with his
teeth.
For two weeks Kocht suffered pri-
vations to which but for his superb
vitality he must have succumbed. On
the fourth day Of his stay on the is
land he found dead crab lying in the
sand. Upon this he lived for three
days without water.
There was no refuge where he might
seek shelter, and he was compelled to
pace the beach during the night to
keep warm. Almost crazed with
thirst, Kocht wandered thirty miles
inland in search of water, at last find
ing 1t in some small clefts in the rocks.
Refreshed with the water, Kocht
once more wandered back to the shore
to set up a lonely vigil for a passing
ship. There, cast upon the beach, he
found the body of a seal, and upon the
carcass the marooned man contrived
to exist, sleeping in the daytime when
the sun warmed the sand and pacing
the shore during the cool nights.
From a piece Of canvas from the
wrecked dory Kocht manufactured a
signal, and twice a day, as long as his
strength lasted, climbed to a pinnacle
of rock, where he kept a lookout for
a passing SAIL
When the schooner Alice hove In
sight Kocht was so weakened from his
suffering that he could barely creep
upon his knees. The schooner stood
off from the shore and the skipper
motioned for him to swim. Fearful
lest the vessel might pass him BY
Kocht sank unconscious on the sand,
and 1t was thus that the fishermen
found him.
1t was not until he was revived on
board the schooner that Kocht learn
ed that within forty miles Of the place
where he was stranded there Is
lighthouse. Captain Wallstedt, Of the
schooner Stanley, stated that follow
ing Kocht's disappearance he sent out
two dories, but was unable to find a
trace Of him.

GREAT MEN OFTEN SMALL.
What They Lack In Stature The,
Make un In Intellect.

Don't be ashamed Of being small Of
stature. The finest brains are often
found in the heads Of little men, says
the Baltimore American. Alexander.
Napoleon, Uladislaus Cubitalis, the
pigmy king of Poland; Characus, the
wisest counsellor that was about Sal
adm, the great conqueror Of the east;
Marius Maximus, Marcus Tullius, and
to drop down to this day and gener-
alton, Alexander H. Stephens, Steph-
en- A. Douglas, Jay Gould, Samuel
Spencer, Senator Knox, Abe Gruber,
Phil Sheridan and a host Of others
all were small men; yet, as they say
in the Bowery, they got there.
Alypius Of Alexandria, a most ex-
cellent logician and philosopher, was
only one foot and five inches in
height. Augustus Caesar exhibited IN
his plays one Lucius, a young man
twenty three inches high and weighed
seventeen pounds; yet he had strong
tenor voice and could sing like
nightingale. In the time Of Theodo-
sius there was a pigmy in Egypt SO
small of body that he resembled
partridge; yet he exercised all the
functions of a man and could sing
merrily. He lived to be %. Julia,
niece of Emperor Augustus, had
dwarfish fellow of the name Of Cano-
pas, to whom she was much devoted.
He was twenty-eight inches high.
Andromeda, free maid of Julia, was
of the same height.
Just about a hundred years ago, In
Wurtemburg, at the nuptials OF the
duke Of Bavaria, a great pie was set
upon the table. On being opened out
stepped a dwarf, armed cap-a-pie,
girt with a sword and having spear
in his hand. He walked around the
table in a swashbuckler style, sword
drawn, and caused the greatest
amusement and interest.
There was a little fellow in Italy
who was carried around in a parrots
cage and exhibited for money. He
was only thirteen inches high. A
Frenchman Of Limonsin, with a for
NAL beard, was also shown in a cage
for money. He was about fifteen
inches high. At the end of the cage
was a little hutch into which he re-
tired. When the house was full he
stepped forth and played tune on an
instrument.
Going away back-without sitting
down-Jeffrey Hudson was the Won
der of his age. His father was
butcher, stout and Of good height. and
his mother was a large woman. At
the age of eight he was sixteen inches
in height The Duchess Of Bucking-
ham adopted him. She clothed him
always in satin. At a royal feast he
was served in a cold pie, walking
forth in complete armor. Being pre-
sented to Queen Henrietta Maria, ne
offered her much amusement. The
king had a gigantic porter, William
Evans. In a mask ball at court,
Evans hauled out Of one pocket long
loaf Of bread and out Of the other lit
tie Jeffrey. This dwarf was employed
upon a delicate mission to France as
ambassador. On his way home he
was captured by a Flemish pirate.
His captivity Is the subject Of a poem
by Sir William Davenant, entitled
"Jeffredos." He lived to be go years
of age.

YOUNG MEN FOR WAR.
Value of Navy Depends Upon Its Ef-
fieieney In Emergency.

The proposition to relegate to shore
duty many Of the commanders OF bat
tleships in order that younger men
may have the benefit Of the experience
Of the cruise of the fleet in Pacific
waters is one which will commend it
self to the judgment of the American
people, says the Chicago Tribune.
The most important reason for the
sending of the fleet from the Atlantic
to the Pacific Is that officers and men
may gain skill in handling the vessels
and have the advantage Of actual ex-
perience in manoeuvres on a large
scale.
The value of the navy is largely de-
pendent upon the efficiency Of its men
in the time of emergency. The gov
ernment is looking toward the future.
1t has $100,OO0,000 invested in great
fleet, which must have actual expert
ence on the sea in order to make II
most effective. In the case Of IL or II
of the IS commanders Of vessels In
the fleet which is going to the Pacific
they are so we'll along in years that
retirement under the usual order OF
things will come before many more
seasons. The knowledge to be gained
from the movements of the fleet will
not be used by them, and so much of
the value of the cruise will be lost.
In such a situation the plan to give
the older men shore duty in order to
permit younger captains to gain ex-
perience for use in future years seems
reasonable and proper. Such change
of commanders carries with 1t no re-
Election upon the men who have rem
dered loyal service during many years
1t is a business proposition, entirely
analogous to what is taking place con-
stantly in many other fields of activi-
ty. 1t will work no hardship to the
older men. 1t ought to be possible
to make the changes with little friction
and with no resultant i'll feeling.
The man who has borne the heat
and burden of the day always dislikes
the thought of retirement while he
feels himself strong and able. But
there must be constant training OF
Younger men. They must have oppor-
tunity to show their ability in import
ant places. The situation is plain.

BET AND JM.-In the northwest
part of our country there lives well
known Irish magistrate. A man Of
liberal education and full quota Of
genuine wit. A short time ago Jim
and Bet, a colored pair, called upon
the squire to be united for better or
worse. The squire having been noti-
fed Of their coming prepared and ac-
tually used the following ceremony:
Jim, will you take Bet,
Without any regret,
To love and cherish,
Till one Of you perish,
And ms laid under the sod,
So help you God"
All being answered in the affirma-
tive by Jim the squire turned to Bet
and said:
BET, will you take Jim
And cling to him,
Both out and in,
Through thick and thin,
Holding him to your heart,
Till death do you part"
Bet acquiesced by a modest bow OF
the head, and now the happy pair
was dismissed as follows:
Through life, alternate joy and strife,
I now pronounce you man and wife,
Go up life's hill till you get to the
level.
And salute, your bride you black
rusty devil"

He Would Be ObeYed.

Ferguson's wife has the upbringing
OF their infant son. Ferguson says he
is away from home so much that it is
altogether simpler and better that
Mrs. Ferguson should have the whole
management Of Richard. Not that
Ferguson does not understand the the
ory Of governing children. He has
simplifed a whole lot Of theories to
his entire satisfaction.
There's no earthly need Of lot OF
rules" he often says; implicit obedi-
ence covers all the ground. Tell a
child to do a thing. and make him see
that you must be obeyed. That's real
ly all there is in bringing up any
child"
When Mrs. Ferguson is away Fer
guson has a chance to put his simple
rule in practice. He never shirks the
opportunity. 1t is only fair, he says,
that he should take his turn.
Mrs. Ferguson was away over Sun
day recently, and when one Of the
neighbors called late in the afternoon
she found Ferguson on the porch
in charge" as he termed it. In 9TH
er words, he was reading a capital
magazine article on the physiognomy
of the successful man, while Richard
was slowly but surely stripping a
thrifty fushia Of all the leaves within
his reach.
"Oh!" exclaimed the neighbor at the
sight.
What? Eth? OH" said Ferguson,
when he realized what the matter was.
That's mothers pretty plant Rich
ard"
Richard agreed, in cheerful CUR
gle. Then, with an unexpected hitch'
he began to scrub off the porch steps,
one by one, till he reached the walk.
Then, with another unexpected move
ment, he threw himself on his stom-
ach and scuttled off.
There's no sense in constant nag
gIng OF a child" said Ferguson. Il
draw the line at repetition. Tell a
child once. and see that he obeys."
"I think"-began the neighbor.
Don't you think-oh, Mr.. Ferguson,
Richard ought not to be creeping out
in that wet grass! The dew was fall
ing when I came over"
Richard. come out Of that?" shout
ed Ferguson, delighted at the chance
to demonstrate his theory.
Richard glanced over his shoulder,
then, with a wild shout Of delight,
scuttled along faster than before to-
ward a flower bed. In an instant he
was in the middle Of 1t, where he alb
ruptly circled, sat up under gigantic
sunfower and challenged his parent
with roguish eyes.
Come on" began Ferguson, in a
tone Of thunder. stay there!" he
continued, in a fatuous attempt to
safeguard his theory. Il will be obey
ed"
Richard minded his father, and
stayed in the flower bed till the neigh
Dor dug him out.-Youth's Compan-
