"The Laurel Song Hook" Is the title of a new book of songs, edited by W. L. Tom lint. Intended for the use of advanced classes In schools and choral societies. The editor has succeeded most admirably In his effort to give to the young students of this country n collection of songs' and choruses representative of the best musical art of the world and more especially of the art of out contemporary American composers. It Is most fitting that American students of music should be afforded the opportunity to study and sing many songs of their own countrymen.

But as the country grew In territory, population and wealth, and as the mines In the west were developed more and more each year, It became necessary to estab lish other mints whereby the government could keep track of the output from each place, and, If an error should occur In the coinage, could at once locate the mint from which the defective coin had come.

Russian mar riages are not made In heaven, hut on the apot by go-between, who aro In many cases god-parcnta. The matter of the dowry, etc.. being arranged, the young people are consulted, and if there Is any strenuous objection on either side, the negotiations frequently fall through, hut, aa a rule, children, and particularly girls, are too well brought up to set up direct opposition to the will of their parents, Short engagements arc the rule and tho wedding follows hard upon the be trothal. which Is almost as sacred ant hlndlng as the marriage ceremony. Nearly all marry young-girls at the ago of 1 and young men at Iff. I I' to th1 day of her marriage the Russian peasant girl wears her long, thick hair plaited In one braid down her hack. On her wedding morn it i. iihir rut short or divided In two braids and wound around her head; over this the mother-ln-law puts a small red cap. which ties behind, and Is the badge of her new condition. Thn entire week previous to the wedding Is given over to festivities In both families. In some parts of the country the bridegroom-elect Is allowed to spend as much time as he likes with his betrothed, going to her house nearly every day and remain ing until it Is time tn close the house at night. Usually the bride and her friends, who come one afternoon a week to help, make the entire trousseau, ami woe betide her If any mistake Is made, for nothing Is so certain to bring misery and unhapplnes In her new life as to have any of the stitches unpicked. The bridegroom presents the wedding costume, A bride's dowry consists, be sides hor wardrobe. In quantities of house hold linen, kitchen utensils, silver tea and dinner service, carpets, curtains, etc. If a wife die without children the greater por tion of the dowry may be claimed by her family.

LATTER DAY SAINTS GATHER ehrnskii noferenre of the Opens Its Annnnl Session In Omnhii. .cot The Nebraska conference of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints opened its semi-annual session at Idlewild hall yesterday with three meetings, one at 10:30, another at 2 p. m. and the last at 7:30 p. m. The closing meeting will he held this morning nt 10 a. m. Twenty-two Utah elders, who labor In Nebraska, arc In attendance, as well as a numbt-r from neighboring states. Elder Hebcr Peterson Marry in Russia the day on which Christ was sold and the )thcr the eve of Friday, when he was cruci fied. Saturday Is also tabooed, because it Is the eve of the holy Sabbath. During tho week previous to the wedding the bride goes about In a most dolorous manner, weeping and walling In stentorian tones and entreating her relatives to break tho engagement and not send her away Into a land of strangers, even though she be going no farther than the next street. The last evening before the wedding all her girl friends come to take leave of her. There Is a very pretty ceremony attached to this evening, which may he the one from which the custom of making gifts to the brldemald was derived. The bride brings out a parcel, which she opens, and discloses all the ribbons, flow ers, etc.. which she has heretofore worn on her hair; these she distributes among her friends, each being considered a souvenir of good luck; when there are not enough to go round they are cut In two or three pieces. Marriages always take place in the church, the guests gathered around a tem porary altar in the center decorated with flowers. As the Russian churches have no neats, this Is very convenient. The attendants are all men, who hold the bride's gloves when she removes them to exchange rlnga; carry home for her the piece of red carpet upon which she knelt to receive the nuptial benediction: dis tribute money to the poor In her name; make a collection for the musicians and on of them always dances the flrst quadrille with her. The groom's best man goes with him tn the church and then makes haste to fetch the bride, She, being prepared to leave the house, falls on her knees before her parents and begs them to forgive whatever offenses she may have committed against them. They raise her up, kiss her and of fer her bread and salt as typifying the necessities of life, When she leaves they do not close the door behind her, which In dicate that tbelr house Is ttlll ber home. At a stated point in the ceremony two golden crowns are held above the beads of bride and groom hy the attendants; these are thrice exchanged at the command of the priest, and It Is very funny to sec what deiperate effcrts the men make to keep the crowna from touching the bride's head, which would be a tlin of very bad luck In nnd Tnendny Sprt'lnU.

Having exchanged rings the priest clasps their hands and leads them three times around the altar In token of the Trinity, the hrlde and groom and all the others hearing lighted caudles deco rated with ribbons. There Is a superstition that the one whose taper has burned the slower will outlive the other. The candles are supposed to have reference to thn lamps which the virgins carried when they went forth to meet, the bridegroom (Mat thew xxv). They drink wine out of the same glass as a sign that they will share the cup of eternal life. The ceremony concluded the bride Is taken to the home of her husband, where she Is met and welcomed by his parents. He then asks the wife to remove his boots, telling her there Is a purse In one and a whip In the other, and that she must take her choice: If she flrst finds the purse Bhe 1 5 very happy, but If she chances to take off the one containing the whip she Is apt tn receive a blew from It. Sometimes the bride strikes her husband with the hoot after having taken It off as a protest against the Idea of her Inferiority Implied In the act. In some provinces the father glvei his daughter a blow with a whip on her wedding morn, and then bands It over to the new husband, saying It Is now hU privilege to use It. In another part of Russia the bride has ready on her bridal day a whip which she has herself madn and which she give Into her husband's hands, telling him at the same time ibo hopes he will reprimand and punish her when she needs It.

In some portions of Russia the bride was crowned with a garland of worm wood, which typified the bitterness of the married state: frequently unw the priest sprinkleB on her head a handful of hops with the wish that Bhe may be at fruitful as that plant Sometimes an official of the church, clad In a rough goatskin cloak, accompanies the bridal pair to their home, praying that they may have as imany chil dren as there are hairs In his coat. Divorce Is unknown In Russia, The laws forbid a fourth marriage of widow or widower, a third is considered somewhat Improper and demands a penance of five years exclusion from holy communion, while even for a second marriage two years' penance must be done.
