Russian MARRIAGES.

The celebration of Russian mar
riac sometimes extends over three
days. At the wedding festivities the
bride Is expected to dance with the
men one after another until she drops
with sheer fatigue. 1t Is q matter OF
pride with her to keep going as long
as possible, and It Is not UNUSUAL to
find q bride dancing gayly after three
days and nights Of vigorous frolic.
When q girl Is dancing with man she
always holds his pipe. 1t would be
regarded as extremely rude II q man
should continue to smoke his pipe In
such circumstances Tit-Bits.

A WAR TRAGEDY.
Pathetic Incident at the Siege Of Pers
Hudson.

Pathetic Incident at the Siege Of PORT
Hudson.
At the siege at Fort Hudson, La,
there was one gun commanded by Al
pAonso Dubreuil. He was a young
sugar planter who had opposed seces-
sion, but maintained that If Louisiana
seeded be would 80 with his state.
Dr.. Chatrand, his neighbor, was VIC
lent secessionist, and Dubreuil and the
doctors daughter Amelia were lovers
Louisiana seeded. Alphonso raised
company and proved so brave Con-
federate that the doctor, who had op-
posed his daughters marriage, readily
consented, and the pair were married
His bride was accorded special per-
mission to 60 into the bomb proofs or
the fort, where in comparative safety
she could be near her husband. There
she saw him operating his enormous
gun, but her heart was torn with fear
for his safety. Suddenly she became
excited by the noise Of firing and, rush
ing out from her place Of safety, was
struck by a piece Of shell and fell back
lifeless. Dubreuil ran to her side, saw
death In her face and went back brave
ly to his gun.
The next morning was beautiful, and
the sun shone gloriously. There was
cessation Of hostilities that the dead
might be buried. Thus engaged, a re-
quest came from the enemy to allow
the body Of q young lady to pass
through our lines. It was granted.
The little cortege came, preceded by q
military band playing a mournful
dirge, and halted at the outpost The
old musket box used as bier was &C
companied by two ladies and several
officers. One Of the latter, 6 handsome
young fellow with long hair, walked
calmly and slowly, but his face be-
trayed the greatest grief. A detail Of
Confederate privates acted as pallbear-
ers. Our men uncovered their heads.
All were b.indfolded and led through
our lines to the steamboat. They bade
last adieu to the dead bride and re-
turned blindfolded.
1t was the saddest sight ever saw

A Lesson In Patience.

When the eminent botanist, Profess
or Altman of Glasgow, was q small
boy, he had the present Of a silver
Bit whereupon his mother was so Wor'
ried with questions as to what he
should do with it that she exclaimed,
Really, you had better 80 to Thomas
E!hot's "a we'll known pharnacisO and
buy si1pence worth Of patience"
Down the street marched the lad and
demanded Of the chemist, "Mr. Elliot,
please give me sixpence worth Of pa
tience."
NJ. Elliot, taking in the situation at
q glance, said: Certainly, my boy;
there's chair. Just sit DOWN and wait
till you get it."
Professor Aitman's endewor to pur-
chase patience was q great success It
made deep impression: on the Lad aRd
was one Of the factors Of his Success
In life.

One Of the Funny incidents Possible
In Divers Life.
As showing how much at home a
Ean may be today under water I may
relate an amusing story. Some months
ago while great battleship vas at
Malta one Of the seamen divers went
down to clear her propeller from some
fotsam that had become entansled,
and he failed to come up. It CHANGED
that the rest Of the battleship's divers
were ashore, and grave concern was
felt on the ironclad for the missing
worker. Signals by telephone and life
line were sent below without avail. In
the launch above the throb-throb Of
the air pumps cylinders went on, but
the attendants looked at one another
in dismay, fearing some strange tag-
edy deep down il those heaving green
seas.
The worst was feared when some
big brushes and other tools came foat-
ing to the surface, and thereupon the

urgent message for one Of the other
divers. The man came on board,
dressed Immediately and went below,
only to come up full Of Indignation
"Why, that fellows been asleep all
this time" be said wrathfully. It was
true. The man had just had his lunch,
and, finding the work much less serious
than be had thought, he finished it In
q few minutes and then sat comfort
ably on one Of the giant blades Of the
battleship propeller and went to sleep
with inquisit1ve fishes swarming
around him, attracted BY the dazzling
searchHght on his breast. The officers
were 50 amused at the occurrence that
no punishment was inflicted on the
