S. P. SmITM, of Towanda, Pa.,
terbOSe Mmetitntien Was completely
broken down, in eared by Ayer's
Sarsaparilla. He Writes:
"For eight years, I was, most of the
time, a great serer from constipne
tion, kidney trouble, and indigos -
thin, so that my eonstitution seemed
to be completely Woken down. I was
induced to try Aye's Samaparilla, and
took nearly seven bottles, with sueh
excellent results that iny stomaph,
bowels: and 'kidneys are in perfeet con-
dition, and, in all their functions, as
tegular as clock -work. At the time
I began taking Aye's Sarsaparilla, ray
eight was only 129 poands; I now can.
brag of 159 pounds, and was never in SQ
good health. If you coul1 see me be.
fore and. after using, you would want
me
fo a traveling advertisement.
I believe this preparation a Sarsaparilla,
to be the best in the market to -day."

ponding seats en the other side of the aisle
were oecupied by the Prince of Wales, ex -
Empress Fredermk, and the Corowiteh.
The other Royal personages in atteadanee
occupied the oats in the three rows nf
chairs imraediately bask of the Emit. When
the bride and groom entered the churole a
signal was given, in obedience to whioh all
the belle in the town pealed simultaneously,
and when the ringswereexolienged a salute
of 21 guns was fired. Following Gateau
precedents there were no bridesmaids,
but the brielewas supported by her younger
sisters. The private chapel of the solaces
was thoroughlyredecorated for theoccesion,
and as the wedding took place on Primrose
day, primroses entered largely into the
interior decorations, these flowers having
been sent font England.
THE CEREMONY.
Dr. Molter, Superintendent -General and
Ithe Supreme Councillor, efficieted at the
ceremony, assisted by Court Chaplains
Bender and Hansen. Prof. Mueller, in his
eldress to the couple referred to the mighty
families to which they belonged, and in
invoking the bleasings of the Almighty
upon the marriage, quoted the words of
Ruth to Naomi. The reverend doctor then
enjoined the bridegroon to guide and pro.
tecb the women who was his wife, and the
one hundred and eighteenth and one hun-
dred and twenty.fourth Psalms were sung
by the chapel choir. The marriage rings
were handed to thecouple on a silver plate.
When the groom took the bride's hand all
the ministers placed their hands on the
clasped hands of the couple and invoked
God's blessing upon them. Tears were
starting from the bride's eyes as she de-
scended from the altar and embraced and
kissed her grandmother the Queen, and
then kissed her father and embraced and
kissed her mother. Then she kissed the
Prince of Wales, and the other Royal per-
sons. The procession was then refotmed
sae& marched out of the church to the
strains of Mendelssohn's 'Wedding March.
The guests, went immediately to the Great
hall, where the wedding breakfast was
served. When the bridal party left the
church the cheering of the people was deaf-
ening. The floral and other decorations of
the church were of the most magnificent
description.
TELE 'WEDDING 'BREAKFAST.
The wedding breakfast was gerved in the
throne -room of the . palace. There was a
superb display of gold and silver plate and
flowers. The German Emperor proposed
the health of the bridegroom and bride,
whom he oiled his dear cousins, and the
Grand Dake of Hesse responied. After
the breakfast the bride donned a travellirg
costume of white and grey -blue Moth. The
white skirt was embroidered with rose
sprays and the bodice with blumgrey elec-
tric silk. She returned to the wedding
party in half an hour, bade everybody good-
bye, and then entered with her husband an
open phaeton trimmed with flowers
,
which
waa awaiting her in the court -yard. All
the guests were in the courtiard. Before

The front of the box had been fastened

There it remained for Eve days, to the
terror and danger of ell on board, for it

what moment he might ;nee it foe to face.
Captain Olsen'i first impulse wars to
shoot the dangerous brute but finally de.
aided, as it was a valuable °mime' and

it alive. In pursuance of this policy, and
prudently hearing in mind also that a wild

Bide of him a men armed with a revolver at

nothing untoward occurred, Captaie Olsen
was naturally anxious to be relieved of his

shot, The company's offices were closed
for the holidays, so that nothing could be
done.
When the Nairnshire arrived in Victoria

to capture the hyena, and Mr. Samuel

Fluidly, however, he was got into a corner
behind a large cask, and a seaman, making
a dexterous throw, managed to get a rope
around Ito neek. While the beast was
struggling in the toils a second, rope was

PTEELY OANAIIIAX NEW 8
The execution of Margaret Welber for
the willfulmurder of her husband on the
16th November last in Gildart street,
Liverpool, took place on Monday morning
at Walton Prison. Representatins of the
press were not allowed to witness the ex-
ecution, and beyond the bare fob that it
had been carried out satisfactorily they
were supplied with no further information
by the governor. Subsequently, however,
it was learned that the condemned woman
paid devote attention to Pathe t Wade,
and that though she frilly realized her ter-
rible position she submitted resignedly to
her fate until the proceedings of pinioning
were commenced. She then broke down
somewhat, but between her sobs repeated
the prayers offered by the priest, as she
took her place in the procession to the
scaffold. Punctually at a quarter to eight
o'clock the prison bell began to toll. It

around the prison gates. By this tune
Mrs. Welber, who had received the Viati-
cum, had been taken by Billington, the
executioner, followed by the governor,
warders, doctora, and other offieials to the
apartment, which .immediately abuts on
the execution room. It is only a few yards
from the death chamber. Here Mrs. Wel-
ber was pinioned, she submitting resignedly
to the operation. She lied not partaken of
any breakfast in the morning, contenting
herself with a small sip of cofiee. As Bill-
ington fastened down her heeds she repeat-
ed tlae prayers after the priest or joined in
the response of the Litany. About five
minutes to eight the procession started,
the warders in front, the chaplain and the
executioner close to the condemned woman.
It was a fearful spectacle, for a 4701118.13!S
nerve is apt to give way, and she apparent-
ly had to be gently assisted from the pin-
ioning room to the scaffold.

again be allowed his freedom.

ter gates this description ef the conditione
which he desires to riee bettered,:
" Our postal system in the interior of
the empire ireas is generally acknowledged,
very primitive, It defeats are due in. it
large degree to the greatnees of the dis-
tances as well as to the comparative
scarcity of proper railway cent:mations.
We have cities which geographically are
hardly 250 miles apart, yet for postal pur-
poses are separated ea Kieff and our beloved
Toulee.
at/axons SWAMI
might be told. of the correspondence betweeo
two such cities. A friend of ours in Kieff ex
changes business letters constantly with
Severa1 persons in the neighborhood of
Rayne. The distance from Kiefeto Romeo
is about 240 miles, and the persons in ques-
tion live about four miles from the latter
city. The correspondences between our
friend and his acquaintances near Remo
can be carried on only by means ofregister-
ed letters, as no unregistered mail matter
ever reaches its destination, whether sent
• from the one city or the other. If not
registered, letters simply disappear without
leaving a trace that might lead to their
recovery. For years thie sort of thing has
been the rule hereabouts. Our friend has
Itis letters ready at 5 o'clock p, m. at whieh
hour the main Post Office in Kieff has been
closed for the day. He is obliged,therefore,
to mail them at the main telegraph office.
This office is wont to deliver registered
letters -only twice daily, at noon and
4 o'clock, to the main Post Office, although
these hours do not correepond with the
time of departure of the mail trains, but
are chosen arbitrarily, perhaps boaese the
relief of clearing up the office has a more
beneficial effect on the diaestion of the civil
servants just before luncheon and dinner.
Now after our friend has got a registered
letter into the main Post °faze by this
roundabout way the sequence of events is
as follows:
"The letter is sent to the main telegraph
office at 2 o'clock on Monday, say. On
Tuesday at noon the letter goes to the main
Post Office. At 6 o'clock on Wednesday it
is sent away on the mail train of the South-
west Railway, and it arrives in Rovno
AT ernamone.
At Boyne the postal force is so inadequab
to the amount of work falling to its lot
that the Kieff mail cannot be sorted before
Thursday- At 1 o'clock on Friday alter -
noon a notice is sent to the village mime
four miles off that a registered letter from
Kieff is at the Rovno Post Office. The
village authorities do not make baste, and
the person addressed consequently does
not get the notice before.5 o'clock on Sa.ture
da y afternoon . .As on Sundays there is
no delivery from the Rovno Post Office, lie
must wait until Monday to get the letter
of which he has received notice. That
makes one week the time required for the
carriage and delivery of a letter between
cities 9.40aniles apart. In the same period
the writer could travel easily from Kieff to
Toulon, cheer for France several times in
front of the Town Hall, and then start
for home soon enough to eat several meals
before he could possibly get an answer frona
his correspondent in Rovno. If he wished
he could even visit Paris and take a drive
through the city and arrive at home several
hours in advance of his correspondent's
letter."
The editor adds that, under sach circum-
stances, it is impossible to establish Mose
trade relationo among the great cities of
the Russian interior.
• MODERN TELESCOPES.
The Great Proxress Made in the Mextaftte
tyre of instruments.
In an informal address before the Boston
Scientific Society Mr. Alvan G. Clark, the
famous telescope maker, spoke of the tele-
scopes of the earlier astronomers, among
them that of Galileo, who was the first one
to apply this instrument to celestial °beer.
-cation, showing some of the difficulties
under which the earlier opticians labored.
The difficulty lay in the fact that in its
passage through the lens the light of the
stare becomes separated into the different
colors of which light is composed, and each
of these colors comes to a different focus
within the telescope tube. This results in
confusion and injury to the image. ' Tbe
first step was the inveution of the reflect-
ing telesoam, different forms of which
were made by different men, in the manu-
facture of whieli delicate processes were
undergone'and svith which some remark-
able results were achieved. Mr. Clark ex-
plained the means whereby the older opti.
mans tried -to avoid this dispersion of light
by means of long tubes, and paid tribute
to Dolland, tt &English optician, who first
gave to the world the achromatic objee-
ave. Li this combination of lenses the im-
perfection of the image is eliminated to a
large degree by the use of a second lens,
the imperfections of which are equal in
amount to those of the filet lens, but op.
posits in qualityor direction.
Mr. Clark reviewed briefly the story of
the increase in size of the telescope, a story
of exceeding interest, sins tide increase
has cense to us mainly through the efforts
and efficient work of the firm of which he
is now the sole remaining reemlier. The
aperture of fifteen inches was for many
years the maximum, but of late yore, with
increaried fecilitio for the manufacture of
large disca and experience in handling of
the same, the aperture of telescopes has
been rapidly increased, lentil we heve now
the great Lick teleseope of thirty-six.inehes

Over 20,000 coal miners of Illinois joined
in the general strike. The 3,000 miners
employes' in theis central distrait went out
at, noon. Every one of the 8,000 men em-
ployed in the Springvalley district, where
the long and bitter fight of several years
ago was fought to the verge of general
starvation, have quit work. Over 5,000
miners in the Braidevood district, which
was embraced in the great strike of North-
ern Illinois miners, struck at noon. Two
thousand men at work in the Peoria dis-
trict joined the strike at the appointed
time. The men atthe Reed City, Kingston.
and Mapleton mines refused to go out.
A thousand miners employed in the fields
of Streator and neighborhood stopped work,
and the remaining 15,0a0 will join the
strikers May 1. At Duquoin the miners
have been on a strike since April 1, against
a 25 per cent. reduction in wages.
6,000 AFRAID OF STARVATION.
Three thousand miners left the mines in
Jellico district,Tennessee and 6,000 miners
refused to go out in the doal Creek district,
fearing starvation. The operators say they
will win and when the men return to the
mines they will be paid less than when they
went OUt.
MEE. 130,000.
Information received at the headquarters
of the United Mine Workers at Columbus,
Ohio, indicates to President McBride that
at least 130,000 miners dropped their picks
at noon Saturday ia obedience to the order
of the national eonventioh two weeks ago.
".6.11 the great strikes of this country,"
said McBride, "have been made without
money ; and so will this one be. The min-
ers know that the condition of the treasury
-will not permit strike benefits to be pnid.
Every miner will be thrown upon his own
resources to earn a livelihood, pending a
settlement of the strike. Atoll understand-
ing of the situation with the determination
of the men to go into the strike at what-
ever cost to themselves is evidence to me
that they are prepared to hold out for
months if need be."
Milking Reindeer.
The process of milking a herd of reindeer
is singular, and we have often watched it
with interest, especially when, after,a long
tramp across the fields, we looked forward
to a share of it ourselves. Attended by the
sharinnosed Lapland dogs, the herdatmors,
its members packed closely together and
forming a. prominent feature. As they ap-
proach newer, one bears a grunting exact-
ly like awine,and a ouriomacrackling sound,
produced by the contact of innumerable
horns and limbs. They are then driven
into an enelosare'each animal is lassoed in
its turn over the horns, and dragged up to
an erection in the middle, where it is milk-
ed. The quantity afforded by eonli is only
about as much as svoald fill a claret glass,
but the milk is extremely riich and nourish-
ing.
