Marriage in Scotland.

From the London Daily Mall
Civil marriages are greatly on the In
crease in Scotland. and their arrange
ment provides a lucrative business for
y certain class of solicitors In Glasgow
and other large towns.
All the newspapers, particularly those
circulating In the country d1strlctsi
contain many advertisements, OF which
the following is an example:
Marriages privately completed, 10
shillinEs, Particulars sent free; exper-
fenced law agents; convenient to all
stations" # .
That Is, to say, for the modest sum OF
10 shiilings these men are prepared to
se1ure the tying OF. the nuptial knot for
any couple according to the law OF
Scotland. The extent Of this business
Is shown by the figures for last year.
when 1868 couple in Glasgow were mar
ried before the sheridan increase of
121 over 1907 and an Increase OF S04
owe 1906.
The ceremony Is OF the simplest
form. The couple go before the regist-
rar of marriages and declare that they
accept each other as man and wife.
On reaching the sheriff they are simply
asked IL they are the persons whose
names are given. On two witnesses,
however, devolve the real part of the
ceremony, which is to swear that one
OF the parties has lived in Scotland for
81 days previous to marriage and that
they have accepted each other as man
and wife of their own free will and
while In their sound and sober senses.
Generally speaking, sheriffs look up
on these marriages with disfavor. some
even treating them contemptuously4
One sheriff has been known TO marry
a dozen couples In succession. The late
Sheriff Principal Guthrie. a most religS
ious man, always gave such couples
the parting advice to go and get decent
~ married by a minister.
During the last BAL representatives
OF every trade and profession presented
themselves before the sheriff at Glas-
Cow, these including doctors, lawyers,
music hall managers, teachers. students
and commercial travellers.

Doctors Test OF Food.
A doctor In Kansas experimental
with his boy In a test of food and
gives the particulars. He says:
Il naturally watch the effect Of diff.
ferent foods on patients. My own lit.
tie son, a lad of four. had been Ill
with pneumonia and during his con-
yalescence did not seem to care for
any kind Of food.
II knew something of Grape-Nuts
and its rather fascinating favour and
particularly Of its nourishing and
BODYBUILDING powers, SO l started the
10y on Grape-Nuts and found from the
first dish that he liked 1t.
His mother gave 1t to him steadily
and he began to improve at once. In
less than q month he had gained
about eight pounds and soon became
40 we'll and strong we had no further
anxiety about him.
An old patient Of mine, 70 years
old, came down with serious stomach
trouble and before / was called had
got 30 weak he could eat almost moth
ing, and was in a serious condition.
He had tried almost every kind of
food for the sick without avail.
II Immediately put him on Grape.
Nuts with good, rich milk and just q
little pinch of sugar. He exclaimed
when I came next day. Why, doctor.
I ate anything SO good or that
made me feel so much stronger
Il am pleased to say that he got well
on Grape-Nuts, but he had to stick
to It for two or three weeks, then he
began to branch out a little with rice
b an & or two. He got entirely
well In spits Of his almost hopeless
condition. He gained % pounds In
two months, which at his age is re-
markable.

THE LAST OF THE HARTswIcKs.

THE LAST OF THE HARTswICKs.
1t seems to be a rule Of nature that
like shall seek like, and hat they shall
move together In swarms. Hence a
variety OF proverbs: Birds Of a
feather" and "It never rains but it
pours," and ''Misfortunes never come
singly." Life drones on for a mans
age without jar or change. when, all
u~nheralded, the break comes, and
shocks and horrors crowd one upon the
heels OF the other.
Thus the little valley stagnating
among the hills, with no change in a
year save the weather and the season
and the moon, all of a sudden crowded
into t~wenty-four hours q lifetime of
sensations. The robbery, the discover
les at the barn, the mob, the vanish
ing of the fugitives, the tragedy OF
Iona, the cave, the solution OF the CEN
tnry-old Heller mystery, the strange
captive-all jammed into a matter of
hours, and the end not yet.
Squire Hartswick, however, was not
p~hilosophising. His capacity was one
idea at a time, and he drove the trag-
edy on with relentless precision. BY
daybreak he had Jim and the stranger
safely imprisoned In the Hartswick
mansion, and was driving arrange
