THE csuresr WEDDING.
Over Ten thousand Couples United at the
, Same Time.
The largest and most remarkable warl-
ding since the world began, says a writer
in the Cincinnati Tribune, took place ht
Sosa. When the great Alexander had
conquered Persia, wishing to unite the
victors and vanquished by the stronglnt
ties possible hedecreed aweddlng festival.
New guess how many people he ordered to
be married. You could never do it.
Well, Alexanderthbusclf was to marry
Statlre, the daughter of Darius; 100 of his
chief officers were to be untied to ladies
from the noblest Persian and Madcap fan»
tiles, and 10,000 of his Greek soldiers were
to marry 10,000 Asiatic women-40,209
people married at once. Y
idoa't see how they managed to get up
a feast for so many, but they did, and for
a vast multitude of guests besides. They
had the moat splendidarrangemcnts. On
a plain near the city a vast pavilion was
erected on pillars. 60 feet high. it was
hung and spread with the richest tissues,
while the gold and precious stones which
ornamented it would have loads your eyes
blink. Adjoining this building were 100
gorgeous chambers for the hundred bride-
grooms, while, for the remaining 10,000
an outer court waalnclosed and hung with
costly tapestry. and tables were spread
outside for the multitude.
A separate suit was assigned each pair.
and all were arranged in a semicircle on
either hand of the royal throne. Eaeil
bridegroom had received a golden vesml
for his libation, and when the last of these
had been almounood by trumpets to the
multitudes without the bride: entered the
banquet hall and took their places.
And now, don't you think each bride-
groom stood up separately and vowul,
"With this ring I now than wed," and so
on. So, the ccrcmony was vcry simple;
the king gave his hand to Stntlra and
kissed her as his wife, and the other bride-
groom-l followed his oxaruple. That. we»
the way. Then came the festival, lasting
five days. with music and feats of jugglery
play acting and all kinds of delightful
games.
Th0 Original of “'lndfall.
The origin of the expression "windfall,"
which Is used when one wishes to rotor to
a sin-all of good luck, dates back to tho
time of William the Conqueror. At that
time it was a criminal oileuso in mi Ilm
borilltbo British forests without royal
