BRUSSELS. June 15.-The annual
 marriage fair" at Eccaussines has
 made twenty-seven couples happy this year. Every spring the girls of Ecausssines give public fete to the
 bachelors of Belgium who flock in
 thousands to the little town in hope of finding suitable wives.
 l This Loye-Carnival has been held
 annually for some seven years and originated with the discovery by the
 maidens of Ecaussines that they were
 in danger of being left lon the shelf
 owing to the habit of young men of
 emigrating to the great cities. After the eligible bachelors had signed a register recording their qual- ifications as husbands, they assem-
 bied in the market place. where they
 were welcomed in pretty speech by
 Mile Clende, president of the Girls Guild, who stood on a platform with the other girls, all wearing dainty summer frocks.
 A luncheon at the town hall fol- lowed. and afterwards the girls and their guests employed their time in getting acquainted with each other, in the intervals of dancing.
 Besides the twenty-seyen engage ments, made on the spot there are a dozen or more bSthothaIs in prospect This accounts for all the 39 members Of the Guild, and is a record in the history of the Ecaussines Marriage Fair"
 ROME, June i5.-Queen Margher- ita of Italy is very fond of music, and whenever she goes to an opera or to a concert she always sits out until the end She is also very consider ate for the feelings of others. On the occasion of a Royal visit to the exhi- bition of works of art executed by the members of the College of France at the Villa Medici, Rome, the pro gram was made up of music composed entirely by winners of the Prix de Rome. and when M. CaroIus Buran, the president, suppressed g movement in a string Qnartette to avoid fatig- uing her Majesty, she immediately no uiced the fact and begged that it should he given adding T am not at all tired, and if I were would not willingly have anything omitted from the program on my account. I am too fond of music to feel fatigue while it is being rendered" The ex- tTa piece was duly performed. and the students went away charmed with the beautiful Queen-of Italy and her touching consideration.
 RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil. June 15- A process to make statues out of dead human bodies is or the list of appli- cations for patents in the name of two doctors of Sac Paulo, Brazil. It is process of embaiming, giving 8 hard surface resembling marble and making the body rigid enough to stand on pedestal as statue.
 The inventors claim that such statues would be more hfelike than the work of any sculptor, besides be- ing better able to stand climatic in fluence and to resist fire
 They sent as specimen the corpse of a negro boy. which had been treat ed by their process nearly six years ago.
 The opinion of sculptors on this weird idea is that it is absurd to imagine that lifelike efforts could be obtained by the process, and that the human statues" would excel the work of artists. The operator would have first to overcome the ''rigor mortis,' and then to manipulate the muscles so as to reproduce the action of life-a practically impossible feat.
