TRE SEI ‘November 29, 1907. Bellefonte, Pa., THE GREATEST WEDDING. Over Twenty Thousand Persons Were Married by One Ceremony. The biggest wedding ever known to history was when Alexander the Great and over 10,000 of his soldiers took part in a wedding in the court of Da- rius, king of Persia, after the latter's conquest by Alexander. Twenty thou- sand two hundred and two persons sere made husbands and wives in one ceremony. The facts are these: After conquer ing King Darius, Alexander deter mined to wed Statiro, daughter of the conquered king, and issued a decree that on that occasion 100 of his chief officers should marry 100 women from the noblest Persian and Medean fam- flies. He further stipulated that 10,000 of his Greek soldiers should take to wife 10,000 Asiatic women. For this purpose a vast pavilion was erected, the pillars being sixty feet high. One hundred gorgeous cham- bers adjoined this for the 100 noble bridegrooms, while for the 10,000 sol- diers an outer court was inclosed. Out side of this tables were spread for the multitude. Each pair had seats and ranged themselves in a semicircle round the royal throne. As it would have taken several weeks for the few priests to have married this vast number of cou- ples had the ceremony been performed in the ordinary way, Alexander invent ed a simple way out of the difficulty. He gave his hand to Statiro and kissed her, and all the remaining bridegrooins did the same to the women beside them, and thus ended the ceremony that united the greatest number of people at one time ever known. Then occurred a five days’ festival which for grandeur and magnificence never has since been equaled. MAN AND HIS HORSE. The Way to Show Approval That the Animal Will Appreciate. Caress plays no small part in de veloping the best in any horse, but this is never to be by word of mouth, You may as well curse as bless for all your horse knows or cares. The caress of the hand addressed to the part with which the animal has just performed some feat is always appreciated—the expression shows that—and one loves to see a good man as he lands safe over a big place just reach back and give the clever horse a loving pat or two on that swelling muscular loin which has been the chief agent Iv negotiating the obstruction, Do not pat neck or shoulder or any part not actively engaged in the under taking. Caress may do no good, but it is pleasant to belleve that it does, and we are quite positive that the | voice simply diverts attention. The for: mer mode of address Is at least worthy of trial if only as a mark of apprecia- tion between two gentlemen. The threatening tones appear sometimes serviceable, but this Is so only when horses have been abused and associate punishment with the stern voice. The wild horse is as indifferent to the voice of affection as to that of rage.—From “Schooling the Hunter,” by Frank M. Ware in Outing Magazine. Drowned Manuscript. James Russell Lowell, the first edl tor of the Atlantic, was walking across Cambridge bridge when his hat blew off and fell into the Charles with half @ dozen or more manuscripts with which it was freighted and which he was re turning to the Boston office. A boat man recovered the hat, but the scat tered manuscripts perished in those waves of oblivion. “If they had beex accepted articles, it wouldn't have been quite so bad, for,” sald he, “we might with some grace ask the writen for fresh copies. But how can you tell a self respecting contributor that his manuscript has been not only rejected but sent to a watery grave? —J, T Trowbridge in Atlantic. Moles as Mesmerists. Like the squirrel and some other an- fmals, the mole lays up a store of food during the autumn months. A curl ous and interesting feature in relation to this storage is that the mole does not kill the worms It collects, but stu- fles them in such a manner that they o not attempt to escape. — Country Life. —— KEATS ON MARRIAGE. Barrier Against Matrimony In Which i the Poet Rejoiced. Notwithstanding your happiness and your recommendation, I hope I shall | never marry. Though the most beau- | tiful creature were walting for me at | the end of a journey or a walk, though | the carpet were of silk, the curtains of | the morning clouds, the chairs and sofa i stuffed with cygnets’ down, the food ! manna, the wine beyond claret, the ' window opening on Winander mere, I should not feel, or, rather, my happl- | | ness would not be so fine, as my soll- | tude Is sublime. Then, Instead of ! what | have described, there is a sub- limity to welcome me home. The roar- | ing of the wind Is my wife, and the | stars through the window pane are | my children. The mighty abstract idea | 1 have of beauty In all things stifles | the more divided and minute domestic | happiness—an amiable wife and sweet | children 1 contemplate as a part of | that beauty, but I must have a thou- | sand of those beautiful particles to fill up my heart. 1 feel more and more every day as my imagination strengthens that I do pot live in this world alone, but in a thousand worlds. No sooner am I alone than shapes of epic greatness are stationed around me and serve my spirit the office which Is equivalent to a king's bodyguard—then “tragedy with sceptered pall comes sweeping by.” According to my state of mind | am with Achilles shouting in the trenches or with Theocritus in the vales of Sici- ly, or 1 throw my whoie being into Troilus, and, repeating those lines, “1 wander like a lost soul upon the Sty- gian banks, staying for waftage,” 1 melt into the alr with a voluptuousness 80 delicate that I am content to be | alone. These things, combined with | the opinion I have of the generality of | women, who appear to me as children to whom 1 would rather give a sugar plum than my time, form a barrier | against matrimony which 1 rejoice in. | =*Poems of John Keats,” by Walter | Raleigh. Troubles of an Amateur. | “] thought you had gone to raising | bees,” sald the man from the city. “I | don’t see any sign of them around | here.” “] had half a dozen colonies of the finest bees I could get,” answered the suburbanite, “and a whole library of lMterature on bee raising, but they swarmed one day, and while I was looking through my books to find out what was the proper thing to do when bees swarmed the blamed things flew away, and I've never seen 'em since.” ~Chicago Tribune. In Nameless Graves. Not far from Hamburg, on the island of Westerland, is a small graveyard to which pathetic interest attaches. Here the bodies of those washed up by the sea—bodles unrecognized and unclaim- ed—are buried. The cemetery was dedicated to this use in 1855, and from then up to now over sixty nameless i ones have found their rest. In 1888 a stone was raised bearing the dedication “The Home of the Homeless,” and each little mound is further marked by a simple black cross. Like the Parrot. “Thumper occasionally says things that are wonderfully apropos,” sald one statesman. “Yes,” answered the other; “he’s like our parrot at home, It doesn't know much, but what it does know it keeps repeating until some circumstance arises that makes the remark seem marvelously apt.” A good way to get on in the world is to make people think you are doing | it.—New York Press.

Fa. ! DECAY OF STONE. Even the Densest Siliceous Rocks Sue- cumb to Time. Whoever expects to find a stone that wi. stand from century to century, de- riding alike the frigid rains and scorch- ing solar rays, without need of repara- tion will indeed search for ‘“‘the phi losopher’s stone.” There Is scarcely a substance which after having been ex- posed to the action of the atmosphere for a considerable time does not ex- hibit proofs of weathering. It may even he observed on the most densely compacted siliceous rocks. The fullest extent of this inquiry can only be to elucidate relative duration and com- parative labor of appropriation to use- ful or ornamental purposes, By examining the various produc- tions of nature we find evident proofs of her industry in all ages. Changes have been going on from the remotest i antiquity to the present time on every substance that comes within our ob- servation. All the actual cambinations of matter have had a former existence in some other state. Nothing exists in nature but what is likely to change its condition and manner of being. No material 1s so durable as always to re- tain its present appearance, for the most solid and compact bodies have not such a degree of impenetrability and so close a union of the parts which com- pose them as to be exempted from ultl- mate dissolution. Even In the great globe which we in- habit nothing is more evident to geolo- gists than a perpetual series of altera. tions. There can be discovered no vestige of a beginning, no prospect of an end. In some bodies these changes are not so frequent and remarkable as in others, though equally certain at a more distant period. The venerable re- mains of Egyptian splendor, many of them executed In the hardest granite between 3,000 and 4,000 years since, exhibit large portions of exfollation and gradual decay, thereby following the primitive, immutable and universal order of causes and effects—namely, that all objects possess the materials of which they are composed only for a limited time, during which some pow- erful agent effects their decomposition and sets the elementary particles at liberty again to form other equally per- fect combinations, Thus by divine and unerring laws order is restored amid apparent confusion.—Hxchange. The Origin of the Holy Stone. At the reformation, when the Church of St. Nicholas at Yarmouth was de spoiled, the carved stones of many of the monuments, both in the church and The Kniser's Press Cutting Agency. The German Emperor's interest in every- thing that goes on in the world is well kown, hut not every one is aware of the trouble he takes to keep in (ouch with car- rent affairs. According to a Munich news. paper the Kaiser read« at least three papers every day, changing the list several times a week in order to become fully acquainted with the ideas of all political parties in the state. But this by no means exhansts lis appetite for information. Every day the Minister of Foreign Affairs, as well as that of the Interior, ha« to provide newspaper enttings, properly vamed and dated and pasted on slips ready for the Emperor's pe- rusal. These he carefolly reads, makiog marginal notes as he goes along, and they are then sornpulously classified ard put aside ready for immediate reference. Often too, the Empervr, whose catholicity of in- terest and insistence on method wonld prove invaluable to many a journalist, asks for cuttings relating to the particular technical snhjects in which, for the time, he is specially interested. Earache In Children. Onions are an old-fashioned hut nseful remedy for relieving earache where it is merely atalgia, proceeding probably from cold. Get a Spanish or large common , onion, put it in the oven, or cat it in ball and roast (holding on a toasting fork) be. fore the fire. When quite hot place on the ear, covered over (hoth sides) with thin flannel or cotton. Continue to apply, pat ting the onions on as hot as they can he borne, till the pain is relieved or gone. As hot orion« will tend to melt the wax in the ear, it should be seen afterward whether the ear is quite clean; il not, syringe very gently wish lokewarm water. A little lint or cotton wool may be placed in the ear after the onions are removed to avoid fresh cold being taken. — McCall's. CASTORIA For Infants and Children.
