which he has waited fur hours, perhaps
fur day. There is the tlash of a heavy
body in the mixmlifrht. a cry of terror,
a brief struiftrlo, ond the man eater is
off for his lair in the junjrle bearing the
helpless ln)dy of a human iH'inr in his
massive jaws. Months later, il may bo,

dense tinilenrrowth.

No wreath has boon so sung by poets
and rhvmosters as that which graces
th head of the bride on her wed
dav, savs the New York Advertiser,
and in most countries the myrtle is
closely associated with the bridal .
wreath. The latler has become a sym- '
bol of true wonianliuess, of purity I of
mind and soul, ami even Sehtller is
among those who have sung its pruise. t
In the time of the Old Testament the :
Jews saw in the myrtle a sign of what, j
for them, was most beautiful and ;
precious the promised land for which j
they were always longing. Later on, !
among the tireeks, the myrtle and the :
rose wore considered tho favorite flow
ers of Venus, the goddess of love, and
gardens of myrtlu were planted iu her
honor, with leds of roses, the red rose
uud the green myrtle representing the
union of love and virtue. Nowadays
the myrtle lias, however, several rivals.
Iu America, iu England, in Trance and
in Poland the orange blossom reigns
supreme; in Italy the white rose has
taken the place of evergreen and
fragrant myrtle wreath. In Spain the
red rose anil in Portugal the carnation
have supplanted it. In many parts of
tiermany there are several distinct
customs to be observed. Tho sprigs
from which the wreath shall bo twined
must in some places be taken at a tixed
hour of the uight iK'tweeu certain holy j
days. Iu some countries or districts :
the veil is Used without the wreath.
In the province of Dalarne, iu Sweden,,
the bride wears a white cloth round
her head, and in several countries the
bridal wreath has, in the course of
time, taken the shape of a more or less
elaborate headgear or wedding crown.
This is the case in Norway and in
several places iu tiermany. In Alton
burg it takes the shape of a red velvet
cap, rouud which run thirteen silver
rings, from which are suspended a
number of silver and gold plates and
coins. A veil and a profusion of float
ing sill; ribbons in gay colors complete
the bridal crown. In Denmark the
myrtle is universally used for bridal
wreaths, together with a long white
veil. Many families possess myrtle
trees, which have for ipaito a genera
tion or more furnished the myrtle
wreaths for the brides of the family.
BISHOP LAWRENCE
Something About lh Horrur of U

Kev. William T. Ijwrenco, S. T. P..

ding bishop of the Episcopalian diocese of
(is.r I Massachusetts, has leen dean of the
theoltficul school of his church at
Cambridge for the past four years anil

ton years. He is of one of the lost fami

native of the state. His grandfather
was one of the founders of the city of
Lawrence, and the city was named in
his honor. It was at tlrace church iu
Lawrence that the bishop-elect of
ficiated as rector for several years after
his graduation from the Cumhridge

when he resigned to take tho post of

REV. '.VILLI AM LAWKENCE,
HYPNOTIC PHENOMENA.
ow to Throw a Subject Into tbn Condi
tion of Trunc. -
There is not the least rational doubt
of the existence of the phenomena of
hypnotism, all evidence and arguuient
to the contrary notwithstanding, says
the St. Louis Lepublic. That the ma-;
jority of the human race are susoepti- '
ble to hypnotic influences may bo sur
mised from the fact that the scientific
men of Europe have combined in one
gieat effort to have all such perform
ances prohibited, and at the preseut
time all such exhibitions are unlawful
in Austria, I!elgium. Denmark, tier
many, Italy and Switzerland.
The word "hypnotism" is from tin' '
Greek "hypnos," meaning sleep, and
was coined to fit the condition by a
Mr. liraid. an English pioneer investi
gator of this curious branch of psy
chology. The following are Prof. Braid's in- '
structions for bringing on hypnotic
trances: Take any bright object ami '
hold it between the fingers of the loft 1
hand, about a foot from the eyes of the !
person upon whom the experiment is !
being tried, in such a position above 1
the forehead as to produce the greatest
strain compatible with a steady, lixed
gaze at the object. The person must
then be directed to fix the miud on the '
object he is gazing at. His pupils will
The school has prospered under his
care, and largely because of his en
deavors. Dcau Lawrence is about forty-three
years of age and is one of a family of
seven brothers and sisters. Ho grad
uated at Harvard iu the famous class
of 1ST1 and afterward prosecuted his
theulogicul studies at the Episcopal
schools at Andovcrand Philadelphia,
taking his last year at Cambridge in
lSTii. He married a granddaughter of
Bishop Parker, and they have three
daughters and one son. The family
lives at the deanery of the theological
school and has a summer house at liar
i ue election of Dean Lawrence is
essentially u victory for the broad
churchmen, u.ul it is expected that he
will conduct the affairs of his diocese
on the lines laid down by the late
Lishop Hrooks during his short but
brilliant episcopate. There was con
siderable discussion at the convention
alMiut tho insufficiency of the bishop's
salary, which is not n stated amount,
but the income, whatever it may be, of
the episcopal fund, which amounts to
nearly SUO.Oih). The income last ycur
was 57,000. Some vigorous endeavors
will be made to increase the fund.

Destruction of American lltrd.
Mr. John Worth, in the Nineteenth
Century, gives some striking facts
about the rapid extermination of the
birds of North America. The advent
of the plow and the train-.- hut of the
settler is gradually driving the feath
ered tribe from its old haunts, nnd
what r.e-.t: are spit red by the plow are
only too often destroyed by prairie

report we are informed that in spite of
shell-proof cars and a vigilant soldiery,
the imperial party narrowly escaped
death by falling into a stream, the cars
having jumped the track. In view of

"May I ask you, madam," inquired
the gentlemanly caller at the front
door, removing his hat, "if there has
been a large and successful cooking
school in this ncighborluxjd for some
weeks?"
"There has," replied the lady.
"Some member of your family has
been in attendance, perhaps," he ven
tured. "Y'es. Two of my daughters attend
it."
"Ah!" rejoined the caller, pleasantly,
"A good cooking school is one of the
adjuncts of an advanced civilization. I

of the gentle arts and sciences that go
