"The Ruling Passion, Tales of Nature
nd Human Nature," has broader grasp
nd a greater distinction than any book
Dr. Henry Van Dyke ha yet produced. It

.real drama of a few men and women, which

"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. Such a collection as the pres
ent ought to awaken In the student a higher
ambition than that which Is satisfied with
technical excellence of rendition. It ought
tn have somo Influence upon their lives and
characters, and to beget In them an ad
miration for and a faith In th genius of
their own land. C. C. Richard & Co., Bos

of women In the L'nlted States nnd Is In

though It docs not aim to make every

relations, and the causes far which divorce

Coins and "coons" look alike to most
men, but It Is easy to tell where any coin
of 2S cents or over was made. There are
four places of coinage In the country
Philadelphia. San Francisco, New Orleans
and Canon City, The first mint was es
tablished at Philadelphia, and aa the found
ing of ether places of coinage was then un
foreseen there was no necessity for putting
a mark on coins whleh came from that
city. 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. All
coins. are supposed to welsh exactly the
same as other of the same denomination,

How They
Weddings In Russia are very expensive,
the father of the bride often spending his
lifelong savings for his daughter's dowry
anC marriage festivities, notwithstanding
that In many provinces the "wedding
conductor" and , rldesmen often hear a
portion of tnc expense. 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. Very few wedding presents are
given.

In Omnhii.

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

deed, Whichever touches the red carpet
first when the pair kneel will have the up
per hand In all matters during tbelr mar
ried life. 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.
Anciently. 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.
