Worlds Greatest Wedding.

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 latter's con-
quest by Alexander. Twenty thousand
two hundred and two persons We're made
husbands and wives in one ceremony
The facts are these: After conquering
King Darius, Alexander determined to
wed Statiro. daughter of the conquered
king. and issued decree that on that
occasion 100 OF his chief officers should
marry 100 women from the noblest Per-
sian and Medean families. He further
stipulated that 10000 of his Greek sol
diers should take to wife 10000 Asiatic
women.
For this purpose vast pavilion was
erected, the pillars being go feet high.
One hundred gorgeous chambers adj
Joined this for the 100 noble bride
grooms, while for the 10000 soldiers an
outer court was inclosed. Outside of this
tables were spread for the multitude.
Each pair had seats and ranged them
selves in semi-circle round the royal
throne. As it would have taken several
weeks for the few priests to have mar
ried this vast number of couples had
the ceremony been performed in the or
binary way, Alexander invented u sim
pie way out of the difficulty. He gave
his hand to Statiro and kissed her, and
all the remaining 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 n five-days' festival,
which for grandeur and magniicenee
never has since been equaled.

some loss of late sown oats and barley.
South of High River there is an enormous
crop. From High River to Edmonton
and from Edmonton to Lloydminster
there is an average crop Of over fifty per
cent of last year, and the price is from
fifty to one hundred per cent higher than
last year. The root crop is excellent
and the live stock is in splendid condi-
ton. At the time of writing it is diff
cult to determine even approximately the
quantity Of wheat that Central Canada
will market this year. The threshers'
returns will tell the story.
The proceeds of the excellent Western
Canada field of wheat which is here pic
tured were sufficient to pay out of the
one crop the price of the land upon
which it was grown. Sheep raising as
well as grain growing is also profitable
industry in almost any portion of Mani
toba, Saskatchewan or Alberta. The

Winnipeg Correspondence
Most of the States of the Union felt
the unusually severe winter of 1906-07
and the effects Of the succeeding late
spring were everywhere apparent. Corn
had been planted two and sometimes three
times, the winter wheat suffered, and
generally there was nervous feeling as
the retarded growth was in evidence. From
the Dakotas to Texas the feeling Of dread
existed, and the fears were entertained
that the crop Of corn, wheat, oats and
barley would be distinct failure. How
far this was the case is best left to those
