The Bridal Veil.
rom the Family Doctor.

From the Family Doctor.
The bridal veil is evidently OF eastern
origin. being relic OF the bridal canopy
held over the heads OF the bride and
bridegroom. Among the Anglo-Saxons a
similar custom existed: but IL the bride
was a widow 1t was dispensed with. Ac-
cording to Sarum usage. fine linen
cloth was laid upon the heads Of the
bride and bridegroom, and was not re-
moved until the benedictton had been
said. The old British custom was to use
natures veil unadorned, that Is, the long
hair Of the bride. which was SO worn by
all brides, royal, noble and simple. Only
then did every one behold the tresses OF
maidenhood In their entirety and for the
last time. as after marriage they We're
neatly dressed on the head. Among
some the tresses were cut and carefully
slowed away on a woman becoming q
wife It was customary In Russia for
village brides to shear their locks on re-
turning from church.

Lightning Shuns Women.

From the London ChFohIcle.
Statistics appear TO show that men are
more likely to be struck by lightning
than women, more than two men being
killed by it for every woman But 1t
has TO be borne in mind that the mans
occupation is more likely to take him
into tho omen when lightning is about.
n has been observed, however. that in
a group equally composed of both sexes
Iiehtning seems TO prefer the men. and
we may theorize at pleasure as to
whether it is the comparative height
that does it, or some protection afforded
by the woman's dress. or difference In
conductibility between the sexes. The
fact that children are seldom killed by
Ii9htning supports to a certain extent
the first of these theories.

Rebels Taken Into Army.

Rebels on whom Pascual Orozco last
year conferred the titles Of commissioned
officers, and whose titles were used with
quotation marks in the newspapers OF the
capital have come into their own. They
were taken into the army with the same
rank. but in a division styled irregular
militia" The army had become topheavy
with classifcations. and President Huerta
has issued q decree converting all aff1li-
ated bodies into the regular establish
ment It was announced that hereafter
Gen. Orozco and Gen. Salazar and Gen.
Campo and all other holders Of titles
should be generals or such as their rank
might entitle in the regular army.
In connection with his program for up
building the army. Huerta has ordered a
number OF changes that have created
comment. some of which is not altogether
favorable One OF these was the order to
purchase lances, with which portion OF
the cavalry will be equipped instead Of
with sabres. The fact that the British
Africa is said to have caused Huerta to
insist upon their Use in his army.
The use OF more automobiles also has
been insisted upon by the president. and
the column which went north along the
line Of the National railway carried
about fifty cars. When the order reached
the war department to Use more automO-
biles there was no time to deal with
factories, and agents of the department.
went on the streets buying where they
could from private individuals. 1t was
Huerta's idea to use the cars not SO
much for the rapid transportation of Of
ficers, but for the speedy movement OF
reserves from the rear.
Gen. Banquet, the successor of Gen.
M0ndragon as minister of war, rose
from the ranks. and wears on his watch
chain gold coin commemorative of a
duty he performed when a non-commis-
stoned officer. He was in the army that
besieged Emperor Macmillan at Quere-
taro. When an order came for the exc
cution Of Macmillan Banquet was de-
tailed on the firing squad. After the
emperor fell life was not extinct, and
Sergt. Banquet was ordered to advance
and deliver the final shot. Just prior to
the shooting Macmillan gave to each
OF his executioners a gold coin, and 1t is
one Of these coins Banquet still wears.
