CHURCH OF MANY
 WEDDINGS HOLDS
 BIG CELEBRATION

LONDON, April 22.-Londons fash ionable church, St. Georges, Hanover Square, celebrated it's bicentenary re- gently with special series of services. Often called 'St. Cupid's Church" in the latter part of the last century, St. Georges is still popular for fashion able weddings, and second only to St. Margaret's, Westminster.
 Sixty years ago as many as 1000 weddings occurred each year at Saint Georges, but during the last fifty or forty years the average has been about 300. Included among the lat ter was that of Theodore Roosevelt, who described himself in the register as "ranchman" when he walked over from Browns hotel in a bowler hat to be married to Edith Kermit Carew. The registers are rich in signatures of other prominent men, as we'll as royalties. The signatures of King Edward and Queen Alexandra, along side those of the present king and queen, are recorded against the we'd ding of member of the Gosford fam 1 fly. The signatures of four prime ministers of England also are there inscribed at the wedding of Henry As quith, now Lord Oxford, to his present wife. They are Lord Roseberry, Vim Ewart Gladstone, Henry Asquith and Arthur Balfour, now Lord Balfour. l Officials of the church assert that if all the couples who have been married at the famous old edifice during the past forty years had been present at the bicentenary services, the congrega- tion would have numbered about 12- 900.

Girls Methods Changed

Girls have changed their ways and
their attitude toward their parents in
the course of few centuries, If we
are to accept two instances cited by
C, X. Shorter in the London Sphere.
~ have the assurance of lady On
whose word can rely absolutely that
the modern girl of the following story
was drawn not from the imagination
of a Punch artist, but from life,' he
writes. "This young lady, who l should
say was on the best (modern) terms
with her parents, said one morning
casually to her mother, Mother. | am
going to be married at eleven o'clock
on Thursday morning in st. Andrews
church, if you and father would like
TO come The considerate invitation
was, | believe, accepted by both pa
rents gratefully and gracefully"

Jealousy Analysed

"There is, perhaps, no such thing as
love without an occasional display OF
jealousy" says Burton RascOe, writ
ing in Hearst's International. But in
every case | believe it will be found
that the one who is Jealous has lost
for the moment his or her self-assur-
ance. 1t may be because of illness or
oyerwork or a protracted lack of di-
version.
"When I have been jealous or my
wife has been jealous l have always
noticed that our Jealousy could be
traced to one of these three things
When | have been jealous, they have
been occasions when I felt myself at
a disadvantage, when my egoisln was
not top-notch.
THE man who knows that he can
depend upon his wife not to leave him
in the lurch or desert him in crisis
or find some one else irresistibly more
attractive, is pretty sure of himself
sure of his power to attract, sure or
his worthiness as a man. This is true
also of a woman"

Ministerial Family

For almost $50 years the family
Of Rev. Frederick Seely Porter, pas
tor Of the Trinity Baptist church OF
Oklahoma City, has not been without
a minister Of the Baptist denomina-
ton. On both his mothers and his
fathers side were pioneer ministers
who went into Canada from the United
States in UT and there laid the foun-
dation Of a family Of preachers and
Bible teachers. Mr.. Porter reached
his present charge from New Bruins
wick, Canada, last February. For
merly he was secretary of the British
and Foreign Bible society in New
foundand and the Maritime provinces.
After eight years spent in preparing
himself for the ministry he received
a commission as captain in the Cana
dian overseas forces and spent 80
months as chaplain at the front. He

Engelmann Spruce is essentially q
Rocky mountain evergreen, fog Its
geographic distribution is very large

Pa Naturalist of the Rocky Mountain
National park, tells us. 1t ranges from
the southern limits Of Arizona and
New Mexico to well up into the Cana
dian Rockies, while limited amount
of ii is found in the states of Washing
ton and Oregon. apart from the Rocky
mountain system.
The name, Engeimann Spruce, is ap-
propriate and well established among
students of western trees, although
among the lumbermen of the West.
one may often hear the name ''spruce"
used when this tree is intended. The
first discOvereT Of the tree cannot be
named with absolute certaiCty. In the
history Of the Lewis and Clark expo
dition of 1905, mention ia made of a
Spruce" which may have been the
tree which we now know as Engel-
mann Spruce, bat, on the part Of many
Of our early explorers, there has been
much confusion in the distinction or
the frs and spruces and therefore this
conclusion Is open TO question.

UNUSUAL VISIBILITY.
Ellsworth Man Saw Monhegaa and
Thatchers lights at Same Time.

Capt. e. S. Means of Ellsworth, re-
tired sea captain, reports as the most
unusual experience of his seafaring
career of twenty-five years, the
sighting of Thatchers Island two
lights ahead before Monhegan had
dropped out of sight astern. These
lights are approximately lightweight
miles apart. But here is how Capt.
Means tells the story to The Ameri-
can:
q was master of the schooner
Loduskia. / loaded lumber at Ban
gor, bound for Boston. We sailed
out of Penobscot bay one fine
September morning, with "a good N
N. w. breeze. Taking my departure
from Monhegan island, we steered a
S. w. p w. course for Thatcher's
Island two lights.
The wind that night seemed to
rise a little above the water; that
is, it did not ruffle the water, but our
sails were well filled and pulling
hard. We were making six or seven
knots in very smooth sea.
Il came on deck at IL o'clock,
midnight, and l saw Monhegan light
flash up over our stern, Seguin is
land on our starboard quarter, Cape
Elizabeth two lights on our beam,
| Boon island on our starboard bow,
and Thatcher's Island two lights
| straight ahead. The lights were all
easily seen from the top of our deck
load, all at the same time, for the
! space of ten minutes. | think we
! were about half way over to
/ Thatcher's Island, the distance being
about Lightweight miles. We must
have seen Thatcher's Island two
lights more than forty miles away.
| This was the first and the only
time l ever saw all these lights at
the same time, in my twenty-five
years experience sailing along this
coast If anyone who reads this
, story can duplicate it, should like
to hear from him.
