RUSSIAN WEDDINGS. ’ The Part the Bride*. Brother Playa In the Ceremony. 11l no country in the world, says the author of "Woolngs and Weddings In Many Climes,” is the tie between brother and sister closer than it is in Russia. 'the brother is regarded as her guardian equally with the father and as her protector even more. In many districts when the groom conies to claim ins bride her brother .daces himself beside her and with a stout stave or n drawn sword prevents the groom's approach. '1 lie twain often engage in much poetical barter, in which the bride incites her brother to extort a goodly price for herself, her veil and her neauty. Upon the wedding day the groom comes to her parents' house and claims his bride. Thon there is a touciiiny little bit of ceremony, one of those pretty human comedies which are called empty shows and forms,'' but are written I in warm, tender emotions. I The maiden kneels before her parents and asks them to pardon her for any and every offense toward t’em of which she may ever have beer, guilty. . They lift her up and kiss her; then they together offer her bread and salt, which I aiguilles that while they live they will | not see her lack the necessaries of life. When she leaves the house its door is left open to signify that she may return when she will; that her girlhood's home is still hers. WILD LIFE OBSERVATION. Mo»t of I m See Either More or Lew Thun the Truth. Good observers are probably about as rare as good poets. Accurate seeing, an eye that takes in the whole truth and nothing but the truth—how rare indeed it is! So few persona know or can tell exactly what they see; so few ■ persons can draw a right inference ' from an observed fact; so few persons • can keep from reading their own * thoughts and preconceptions into what I they see. Only a person with the selen- ‘ title habit of mind eaa be trusted to I report things as they are. Most of us I in observing the wild life about us see ( more or see less of the truth. Wo see - less when our minds are dull or preoc- > cupied or blunted by want of interest. This is true of most country people. We see more when we read the lives of 1 the wild creatures about us in the light I of our human experience and impute I to the birds and beasts human motives 1 and methods. This is too often true of ( the eager city man or woman who sal- ( lies out into the country to study na- I ture. S The tendency to sentimentalize nature has in our time largely taken the place of the old tendency to demonize , and spiritize. It is anthropomorphism in anotiier form, less fraught with evil to us. but equally In the way of a clear understanding of the life about ] us.—Juba Bunoughs in Century. Bcrti, a. a Mualeian. A very large number of Burns' immortal songs were written to match music that was already popular. Speak- I Ing of such composition, he says himself. **To sough the tune over and over is the readiest way to catch the inspiration and raise the bard into that glorious enthusiasm so strongly characteristic of our Scotch poetry.”

Ou another occasion he refused to write for an unfamiliar air, saying that until he was master of a tune he never eould compose for it. A recent writer has shown that Hurns was far more of u practical musician than is generally supposed. He was familiar with hundreds of Scottish national airs, and his letters to his publishers often contained precise instructions ob ; purely musical details. Chance For Him. ‘•Come on; have a game of poker!” "I don’t believe in games of chance.” “That need make no difference Come on and play.”—Houston Post.
