The recent performance of a marriage | ceremony on board a war vessel, to oblige the bridegroom, who had been called for duty in the Philippines and was compelled to anticipate the date originally set for the wedding by several weeks if he wanted to see war &s a benedict, was by no means a unique occurrence. Stranger | wedding ceremonies have been witnessed s. The marriage in a show window originated with an enterprising down East Yankee—a furniture dealer on the installment plan, of course—is su‘l' heard from once in a while, though the first ingenious “puff” of this kind oc- curred nearly a h:enara.tllonh ago. 3 )h}l’; { riages by telegraph and telephone are als: among the things that have been, and a marriage “up in a balloon” occasionally | furnishes one of the attractions at some country fafr. 3 Whether it adds to connublal bliss to | ried at an altitude of 5000 feet above the city of X is not known, though the ex- pectations of the contracting parties were certainly high. To have the marriage ceremony performed In & sporting arena was the outcome of a bicycle contest in New York not long ago. Certainly this marriage ceremony had more witnesses | than any of the queer marriages that hap- pened before. But America is only a recent addition to the countries where queer marriages oc- curred and occasionally take place to-day. The marriage by proxy, In which August Sples indulged with the eccentric Nina Van Zandt shortly before he was hanged in Cook County jail, is probably the only one of its kind that ever occurred in this country. In European countries this form of marriage has been In vogue among the members of royaity for many centuries, and In rare instances it occurs at the present time. Where bride and groom live at too great a distance from each other, or where rea- sons of state prevail, the groom i: sented by a proxy. Ac high circles this relative of the a cousin, or a minist rdinary of the groom. If there ever was a r in nted by proxy history fails to record act. The right of proxy seems to have been monopolized by the grooms.

The prospec tive grooms, mostly young mechanics, | tend service, during which time they take a good look at the girls. This may or ma not intensify the devotional exer- cises of both sex After the service the bachelors proceed to the sacristy and there declare to the officiating priest that they are willing to marry, and at the same time they designate the girls of their chofce. If in any case the girl con- sents and if the papers of the grooms are in shape, the matter is settled. At the afternoon service the various couples | are married in due form and the dowers are paid over. It is said that the: riages are, as a rule, happy Ones, i old adage that accident is 5 agent. Conditions may arise In methodical and law-ridden Germany which make mar- riage difficult. In such a case there re- malns the marriage in Heligoland. where quick and exceptional marriages are still lawful—from the former English reign. There is a certain degree of necessity for these Hellgoland marriages. A German, for instance, emigrated in his early years and_this lost his citizenship. He returns to Germany and wants to marry. Then he finds so many legal and technical ob- stacles to overcome that only the Heli- goland marriage remains. The latter is also quite opportune for people who want to stay in Germany but a short time, and who want to marry during this gojourn. A foreigner or a German residing In a forelzn country visits Germany and there finds the girl of his choice. A short engagement may be desirable, but before the necessary papers can be procured and the requisite proclamation and bans of marriage can be had months may elapse. In such a case the young couple takes the steamer for Heligoland and there “spliced” in due form by a minister. The latter requires an oath to the ef- fect that the parties are unmarried. and that there exists no legal obstacle to their marriage. | —_———— / ~Artistic Paper Covers. | Two elegant sample books of cover pa- pers have just been issued by A.

Mr. Burroughs was not even a | woman-hater, neither has any one ever surmised that a romance caused his bachelorhood. The only literary bachelor who is ac- knowledged to be a hater of women is the English er Algernon Charles Swin- burne. His sentiment appears to be based upon the fear that a woman of lttle cu ture would be dull beyond description as a life partner, and the conviction that the clever, well-informed woman is the least attractive of her sex.
