No Presents for Brides.

The custom of giving wedding pres
ents is much less fashionable In smart
circles than it used to be, and London
is largely responsible for the change.
Not long ago an English bride to be,
the daughter of a noble house, sent out
with the invitations to her wedding q
request that no wedding present should
be given. Previous to that several
brides socially high up had verbally
expressed themselves in the same way,
but as it is not possible to reach in this
way the hundreds Of persons asked to
a big wedding, their sentiments were
not known except to the few intimates
from whom gift would probably be
received.
1t is known that from then on fash
ionable English brides have set their
faces against receiving wedding pres
ents from any but relatives and that in
London the vogue of sending wedding
presents Unfortunately is dying fast.

very charming widow identified with
the Newport colony and the Long Is

It is doubtful if any circus patron
ever saw a member of the show look at

From the time the first whistle Is
sounded for every one to mount until
the last race is run on the hippodrome
track the circus folks do not need q

The first whistle is sounded five min

minutes later the second whistle 10
sounded and the wheels of the hours
of pleasure are set in motion. The

THEY ARE RIGHT AT FARMERS DOOR
AND REQUIRE NO CAPITAL TO
DEVELOP.
Tue wood products Of the South
Atlantic States-includlng Virgins,
the two Carolinas. Florida, Georgia
and Alabama are simply beyond COM
putation when their value Is estimat-
ed, according to figures complied dur
ing the past few months by experts in
the department of agriculture. These
woods and forests are in many respects
better than gold mines for the reasons
that they are right at the farmers Q
door and require not one cent OF in :
vested capital to develop them.
The reported lumber production In
the United States in 1905 was $780,.
736, 900 feet, with mill value Of $62l..
Isl 1888, the largest quantity ever re-

far the greatest value. In addition.
there were produced 1858, ,260, 900
shingles, valued at ga, 154. .555, sne

The total was thus 1856. zoe. .513. Max
ing fair allowance for incomplete re-
ports, it Is safe to sag that at present
the annual lumber Cat In the United
States approximates forty billion feet,
and that total mill value of the lum-
ber, laths and shingles annually pro-
duced is not less than 500, 900. 900.
