The Largest Wedding.
On the day that Alexander the Great
was married no fewer\ than 20,202 per-
sons in one ceremony were made hus-
bands and wives. This seems impossi-
ble, but the event really took place, as
historical records tell us. This monster
wedding occurred upon the conquest by
Alexander the Great of Persia, which
was then ruled over by King Darius.
Alexander married Statira. the
daughter of the conquered King, and
decreed that 100 of his chief oflicers
should be united to 100 ladies from the
noblest Persian and Medean families.
In addition to this, he stipulated that
10,000 of his Greek soldiers should mar
ry 10,000 Asiatic women.
When everything was settled a vas;
pavilion was erected, the pillars of
which were 60ft. high, One hundred
gorgeous chambers adjolned this for
the 100 noble bridegrooms, while for
the remaining 10,000 an outer court was
inclosed, outside of which tables were
spread for the multitude. Each pair
had seats, and ranged themselves in a.
semi—circle round the Royal throne. Of
course, the priests could not marry this
vast number of couples, so Alexander
the Great devised a very simple cere-
mony. He gave his hand to Statira
and kissed her—an example that all
the bridegrooms followed. .
Thus ended the ceremony, and that
vast number were married. Then fol-
lowed the festival, which lasted five
days, the grandeur of which has never
been equalled since.
The Separate Waist Question,
The usual yearly, also semi-annual,
question again presents itself regarding
the adoption of the separate waist for
both day and evening gowns. There are
invariably changes and rumors of
changes about this garment, which for
many seasons has proved a. saving
grace with women of modest means. and
a dainty inborn taste for dressing well,
and no end of comfort and satisfaction
to those who delight in varied, easy
changes of the toilet. In some respects
waists of this sort are an absolute ne-
cessity to women of this class, and
their name is legion. No doubt the
very smartest, most recherche tailor-
made and other elegantly finished
“dress” gowns have waists matching
costumes par. excellence for two sea-
sons to come; but there will, let all
women be assured, be no wholly com—
plete feminine outfit prepared by any
noted dressmaker in this country, o.
sent out from any celebrated importing
house of this city, which does not in-
clude among its elegancies, waists for
both day and evening wear which do
not match any one skirt, but which
can be worn with many.
Extra Sleeves.
The substitution of transparent
sleeves for those of heavier material, or
the supplying sleeves to an evening
toilet that one may suddenly wish to
render somewhat less dressy for after-‘
noon use, is not uncommon, and cer-
tainly economical practice. White
black lace or figured silk net, transform
a waist. whose sleeves were originally
plain black. Supposing color is intro.
duced’ on the bodice, that same color
will supply a, foundation for the under.
sleeves of chiffon net or lace, and now
that we cannot count on the perma.
nence of any fashion, it is-absurd to
purchase many gowns at one time, for.
by a little trouble and attention to de.
tail—remembering that trifles make as
well as mar matters sartorial—one can
always compass that variety which
every dainty woman likes to introduce
into her attire. '

DREYFUS ON DEVIL'S ISLAND
A Sailor-’3 Account of a Visit to the Fan-
ous Exile.
In a recent issue of Kuche und Kel-'
ler. Karl Weinheber, cook of the Neth-
erland steamship Andalusia, gives this
account of a. visit to Devil’s Island:
Our ship, the Netherland steamship
Andalusia, was anchored 01f Devil’s
Island'on April 1 after. a visit to Gay
enne, when we were hailed from
shore. At the same time a small boat
put off, manned by soldiers. They
came alongside to ask the captain for
the loan of a cock while the Andalu-
sia was waiting for freight. The cook
of the little garrison had broken his
arm, they said, and our cook was to
teach one of their men, so that he
might be able to attend to the kitchen
until another was sent by the com-
mander. ,
The captain sent me to the island,
and While busy in the little kitchen
instructing a soldier‘v’in the mysteries
of broiling lamb chops and cooking
park, I had plenty of opportunity to
question Capt. Dreyfus’ guards. The
me'l'i', .w-ho Ihad at first seemed disin-
clined tospeak, became quite loqua-
cious aft-er awhile. “He” was not so
, ‘ ill treated as those. in the world seem-
‘ 6.1.1 0’ '
Of
ed to think; “he” is not confined;
heels. “He” gets 11p between 6 and
7 in the morning, and his first break-
fast consists of a cup of chocolate. If
the weather is good “he” goes for a
walk soon afterward-end winds up
his promenade by a bath.
- .-“But~are7-you not afraid he 'might
swim away or commit suicide?" I
asked.
“Not at all,” said the soldiers, “for
a rope' is fastened to both his wrists,
and the ends of the rope are in the
hands of the guard. After the both
he takes his second breakfast—butter.
bread, ham or eggs and a bottle of
beer. Then he goes in for study. 119
reads and writes for several hours.”
“What kind of books has he got?"
The soldiers looked at each other.
After awhile one of them said: “He is
only allowed to read technical works.
But he can write whateve1 he pleases.
He is now wilting an account of his
life. ” '
“Must be show you what he w1itcs?’
“No; we 1e-ad only the letteis he de-
sires to have forwarded. These are
sent to the commander in Cayenne.”
“And does the commander send them
off as rcceiv ed?”
“No; they are copied, and the 01igi-
nals a1e 1etained at Cayenne.”
‘le’h-at does he do besides reading
and writing?”
“Two weeks ago we received per-
mission from the commander topluy
cards with the prisoner, and he has
become an inveterate gambler since.
After dinner—he has always soup, a
roast and desert—about 2 o’clock in
the afternoon we always play baccarat
together.”
The soldier laughed. “He has not
got a sou and there are probably not
three francs on the whole island. We
play for Shells. The prisoner gets his
supper at 6 in the evening—roast or
ham and a bottle of beer. Soon after-
ward he goes to bed. He is not al-
lowed Ito have any light, you know.
Only the guard at the door keeps up a
wood fire. He says the hours from 7
to 10 are his worst. He can not go to
sleep before 10 o’clock and the guard
is not allowed to answer any ques-
tions he may put. In the daytime we
may talk to him, but only on the most
trifling subjects, the weather, his
health, etc. Our own country is not
to be mentioned.”
“May I leave some cigars for him '2”-
The soldier did not answer. I emp-
tied my tobacco pouch and my cigar
case on the table. I hope he got what
I left for him.
As I was about to return to my ship,
I saw a man, followed by two soldiers,
approaching from the strand. Drey-
fus! He seemed t< have heard of my
presence and measured me with ques-
tioning looks. H-is lips 1110ch1 but he
did nut speak. He is a middle-sized
man, cadaverous and of a yellow com-
plexion. His eyes are deep in their
sockets, he walks with a stoop and
his forehead is furrowed. He is grow-
ing old rapidly, no doubt.
Dreyfus whispered with his guard,
and when the latter had nodded as-
sent walked up to me and shock me
by the hand. “Bring my good wishes
t6 the wide world,” he said in a voice
quivering with emotion. Then he
walked slowly toward his hut, where
he remained standing at the door,
waving his III-and as my boat dashed
into the billows. Half an hour later
we were on our way home. -

16000 OLD PROFESSOR.
Knowledge Rather Unpleasant to
Hugo Arumm at. All T‘mes.
It has'nevcr ceased to be a cause
of regret to the good Mrs. Parvenu
BI. -
gathering of .local literary lights.
-“There's a teapot that was used by
William the Conqueror,”
nounced, with pride, as all the visits
01's gathemcl about and discussed the
prize in hushed tones of voice.
“But, dear madam,” said the pro-
fessor, with whom truth is given pre-
ference to every other consideration,
“they never brewed tea in England
until some years after William I. came
to these shores.”
Mrs. Parvenuignored the interrup-
tion, but the teapot was soon put
away, and now it has another history.
“Here is a pipe that one of the
Caesars smoked in the ninth century,”
she declared, triumphantly, and she
looked severely at the professor. "
“tobacco was unknown then, and for
centuiies after. Someone must have
imposed upon you. ”
The p1pe was put away with a
slam, and from home th a pile of silk
patches in a sewing bag the angered
lady produced a book.
“There,” she nnounced, m strident
tones, “is a Bible that belonged to my
great-great-grandmother. I hope that
modern wisdom has not learnt that all
were heathens in her time, or that the
golden" rule was not discovered until
the goOd old lady had gone to her re-
ward.”
But the professor looked judicially
at the title-page, and said the book
was printed in 1876.
Spain Really the Gainer.
Spain, i reality, loses little by this
war excep some ships. Cuba she had
proven worthless to herself and to the
rest of the world. The Philippines
were rapidly approaching the same
condition. Since the war began she
has not sent a soldier or a musket
to Cuba, and she has some of the
soldiers already there returned to her
on a. pass. She spent some money in
tolls for the passage of her fleet
through the Suez Canal, but the crews
can say with the old Whaler captain
in the story, though they did not “get
any oil,” they had “a mighty fine sail.”
.Her colonies have never been in the
true sense outlets for superfluous pop-
ulation, nor yet commercial feeders.
They have been a source of deep-
s-cated civil corruption. Spain has, a
large, industrious and thrifty home
population and a diversified territory,
part of it agriculturally productive,
partrich in minerals. Her coast pop-
ulation are admirable sailors, and she
is favorably situated for commerce.

years she should not find herself more

American “’omen an’l Gray Hair.
Is it true that the hair of American
women turns gray much earlier than
that of the women of other countiies?
There are those who make the asser-
tion. It is, too, say these, a more
thorough gray. While the locks of an
English or French woman will late in
life show a few “basting threads,” the
head of an American woman at a
much younger age will be quite
blanched, or at least frosted. To two
tliings may the cause of the tendency
be ascribed, American air and Ameri-
can atmosphere—termsu not at all
synonymous. If the former turns our
leaves, why should it not turn our
complish through the agencies, of ice
water, hot bread and worry needs no
comment. Early gray hair, as a rule,
means inability to cope with nerve-
destloying things. It is declared to
be largely a matter of temperament.

American women is in keeping with
most othei traits of our race. -—Har-

Beauty After Fiit).
A bright woman, when applauded re-
cently for her goodness, begged her
friend to let the matter drop. “For,”
she said, whimsically, “though I do
try to do good from some really high
motives, yet I have a reason for try-
ing which 1 n1 afraid is :1 low one.”
“What do you mean?” inquired her
laughing friend. “I mean that I once
heard. many years ago, that beauty
after 50 depended not on features, but
on character. Like all women, I de-
sired to be beautiful, and, as Provi-
dence hull denied me the ‘features’
necessary to secure that result in early
life, I determined to make the attempt -
to be beautiful at 50. I am 85 now,"
she concluded, merrily, “and I must
confess that I see no signs of this In-
dian summei loveliness, but I still try
to be good.”
These f1ieuds treated the matter as
a iest. but them, is r-eally sense and
truth in the saying that beauty in later
life, in eiiliei man or woman, is de-
pendent upon characte1 far more than
upon form 01 c0101. -—The Churchmun.
