HAVE FUN WITH BRIDEGROOM
ants Is q Feature of the AZ
. CHAN Wedding Ceremony.

Ilr ceremony of the mirror, is per-
with the Afghan wedding ceremony.
A mirror is placed before the bride,
and the BRIDE, loom is asked to sit at
the brides left. A shawl is held over
them, and the bride unveils and looks
in the mirror. Husband and wife see
each others face for the first time.
1t is their first real meeting, says TX
bal Ali Shah, in Asia magazine. The
bride is shy and does not open her
eyes, and the bridesmaids and 9th
ers chaff her freely.
An engraved silver bowl is then
brought, with a little sherbet and q
plate of white rice pudding. The
bridegroom drinks a little Of the sher-
bet and offers the bride a sip. She
closes her lips tight, but force is
applied and a spoonful put into her
mouth; so also with the rice pudding.
A shower of roses announces the term
nation of this rite. When the bride
groom attempts to rise, he finds he
is held down to the floor; a corner
of his coat has been sewed to the car
pet. There is a oar of laughter.
The offender is found-probably a
younger sister of the bride. She re-
fuses to undo the stitches unless a
gold coin is given to her. AS soon
as this toll is paid, the bridegroom
calls his attendants to bring his shoes,
but one Of them is missing. Some one
declares she knows who hasithe shoe.
1t is returned on payment offtwo gold
coins, and the bridegroom is freed
from his ~tormentorS.

Unwittinaly Set Fashion.

An anecdote in connection with the
glove shows how fashions are started.
A young and beautiful duchess, having
promised to be at an entertainment
given for a charitable object, in Trou-
vile, France, found herself late in
preparing. She hurriedly took up her
gloves and put them on in the car
riage. AS she entered the brilliantly
lighted room, she found, to her dis
may, that she had put on one black
and one white. The mistake had
arisen from the maid having laid out
two pairs, not knowing which her lady
would prefer-black or white.
Imagine the surprise of the duchess
on p%erceiving that, in all subsequent
entertainments of the season. the
ladies wore odd gloves, corresponding
with the colors of the dress.

GIANT KEARSARGE
PASSES AS WARSHIP
Naval Wonder Of Spanish War
Days Becomes Only a PIod-
ding Craneship.

Launched amid the Spanish wal stir
Of 1898, the old %battleship Kearsarge,
then expected to revolutionize naval
warfare, has passed out3of the fighting
line of the navy without ever having
fired a gun in anger.
The big ship, a giant of her own day,
was thrust aside long ago as a naval
freak" Memories hat lurked in her
historic name, proud imaginings Of her
future that filled the press at her
launching, could not save her. She is
to become "Naval Craneship No. l." a
peaceful, plodding handmaiden to the
fighting craft of today and tomorrow.
Beside them she will be almost q pig
my ship.
At League Island navy yard the Old
ship of the line is being stripped of
var gear and military trappings. Guns
that have fought only mimic battles
are going to the scrap heap. The great
superimposed turrets that housed them
"a new word in naval architecture
when installed-are being torn out.
Cage masts must go by the board. Steel
walls Of the coming tower will disap-
pear. Much of the side ar1nor will be
stripped away, and only the hull and
engines will be left.
On this base will rise a monster cleo
trio crane capable of lifting $50 tons.
To support it the ships sides are to be
bulged to a beam Of 90 feet amidships,
as compared to the 72 feet of her fight
ing days. The lifting machine will be
used to hoist aboard modern battle
ship sections of the three-gun turrets
for 16-inch rifles, which weigh 200 tons,
and the great rifles themselves.
Proceeding under her own power, the
former Kearsarge will go from yard to
yard as needed, being used where no
shore ran Of sufficient size is avail
able. She will have storage space on
deck for two complete three-gun tur-
) rets and haul them to destination as
well as swing them into place.

"Pain Points,"

On every human body there are
four million pain points connected
by nerves with the brain. They are.
of course, distributed very unevenly.
They are placed close together at the
tips Of the fingers and are furthest
apart in the back. Anyone can test
this for himself. If you will place
two needles one quarter of an inch
apart by sticking them into a piece Of
cardboard you will have a very effect
i've instrument for making tests. Put
your finger OF these two points and
you will, of course, feel both of them.
Now apply them to the small of your
back and you will feel but n point.
In other words. the nerve centers in
your back at this point are more than
a quarter of an inch apart.-Boys'
Life.

BACHELORS KNOWN TO FAME
List Is Not overIong, but There Have
Been Some Great Men Who
Remained Single.

Who is the most famous bachelor
in history? While, as is natural to
expect, a large majority of the
notables of the past have been mar
ried men, there have been a few who
have attained prominence in the
world of art, of science, of states
manship and in war without the aid
of a "better half"
One who had as much claim as n
other to the distinction of most emf
nent bachelor is Michelangelo, one of
the greatest figures Of the past. Vol
taire, scientist and statesman, is an
other great man who remained single.
In the realm Of warfare few Of the
really great have remained bachelors.
Perhaps the most eminent is Lord
Kitchener, who was so largely re-
sponsible for England's military
strength in the World war.
Eliminating these few the list pre-
sents a more complicating problem to
one who would pick the greatest.
There are several others of about
equal prominence. Among the paint
ers Raphael stands out as one of the
greatest to die unmarried. Chopin
and Beethoven achieved fame in the
realm Of music without the %inspira-
ton Of a helpmate.
Several modern writer's, poets and
essayists achieved prominence by
themselves. Charles Lamb, Alexander
Pope, Walt Whitman, Phillips Brooks,
Henry James, Whittier and Swinburne
head the list.
Petrarch was ar unmarried histori-
an, and Cecil Rhodes, also single, at
tanned great prominence. Few men have
become famous as statesman without
marrying before the end of their ca
reer. President Buchanan was a
notable exception.
