To ring church belli In New York City for
the usual purposes la considered almost ft
crime. But wedding bells are another story.
Not Ions ago when the sexton of a church
lacking ft chime of bells relieved his feelings
by setting the bell in the loft clanging
madly as the bridal party left the church
the neighbors as well as the gueot In th
church smiled with pleasure.
"Bo awfully Jolly!" said some one.
That exton Is getting the bell la good
working order just now for the fall and
winter crop of weddings, some of which are
scheduled to take place In his church. Said
he with ft wise smile and almost ft wink:
"Were I to let off that bell for ft prayer
meeting people living- near the church would
get angry right away and send word In ft
hurry to the Board of Health, declaring
the bell was a nuisance. But so tar there
has been no kick against the bell ringing
for weddings. I guess weddings will always
bo popular."
When the sexton's speech was repeated to
ft social leader, she nodded assent.
"Tea, not even the pessimists can And

fail and winter," aha said, "rrhero have
bean many, very many, engagements an
nounced of late, several more will be an

hear of a long engagement these day a
' "And there will be no falling oft In the
elaborateness of these functions. In spite of
a story" I read not long ago that London
brides were going In for simplicity few
decorations, fewer guests, no refreshments

"Nothing but sickness or death In the

A girl can be a really truly bride onre only

In my knowledge have we been called upon
to serve at so many really largo country
weddings.
"Two hundred guests at a country house
wedding used to be considered a very large
number to serve with a seated breakfast,
whereas within the last three months we
have had wedding after wedding where the
guests numbered 400 or 600. Among the rich
there Is not the slightest disposition at
least I can't see It that way to cut down
tn the number of house guests at a wedding.
"Houses are being Increased In size all
the time and It la possible to take care of
more people at one time than It once was,
when a back yard space was given over to
the use of servants and stray cats instead
of being' built upon.
Wine at the Weddlaa-.
"It Is the exception to serve a wedding
breakfast without wine. This fact has
come to be so well understood that In cases
where either the family .of the bride or
the bridegroom have scruples against the
promiscuous dealing out of wine the diffi
culty Is met by not having any breakfast
at all and postponing the wedding to the
afternoon And even an afternoon wed
ding; reception Is considered a very tame
sort of an affair these days without a gloss
of punch at least.
"There Is one Odd custom which clings
to oven the smartest weddings cutting the
bride's cake. At the present time we make
this cake of the same Ingredients we use
for the cake dealt out In small boxes, and
Its sise varies. If, there are twenty-two
persons, say, at the bride's table, the cake
must be larger than It there are only ten
or ft dosen.
"On the other hand, the particular cake
the bride cuts must not be so large that
there will be a chance of any one falling
to get a souvenir In his or her slice, for
nowadays, besides the thimble, ring ' or
ooln, we put also Into the bride's cake tiny
gold ornaments, such as an automobile,
a whip, a racehorse or some emblem of
sport.
"Anything, almost, will anawer for the
purpose, and It Is possible occasionally to
match these souvenirs to the particular
tastes of the wedding party. As some one
put it the other day. the modern bride cake
is a sort of prize package. By the way,
these tiny trifles must be of solid gold. No
Imitation trumpery goes.
"Fortunately for us. New Tork people
have decided that there cannot be too
many flowers at a wedding," a Fifth ave
nue florist said when the question of floral
decorations was suggested. "The question
of cost alone keeps, most brides from
turning the drawing room floor most of
the house. Indeed Into a flpral bower.
"In the ease of the church it la a trifle
different. There is almost a tendency. I
think, to simplify decorations at the
church. In favor of increasing them at the
house.
Cbarch Decorations.
"Plant decoration Is. more and more re
sorted to for the chancel, chiefly because
it Is more effective than cut flowers, un
Irsa the latter are arranged in masses.
Indications are that at few weddings this
winter one will see arches of flowers span
ning the aisles or clusters of flowers on
every pew the length of the middle aisle.
"In two orders I have arranged to fill
early In November the first ten pews only,
which are roped off for relatives and clos

"Is It true," the florist was asked, "that
mors frequently than formerly the bride
groom pays for the church flowers?"
"Tea, that Is quite true. It has always
been the custom, as everyone knows, for
the bridegroom to pay for the bouquets
of the bride and the bridesmaids and the
bouttonnlerrs of the best man and ushers,
and he stopped there. In good society
It was an established custom that the
bride's family should pay for everything
else connected with the wedding.
"In several Instances within the last few
months the bridegroom has come In here,
asked for an estimate, on church decora
tions and directed that the bill be sent
to him. None, so far as I know, has had
anything to do with the house decorations.
"I think most florists would be very glad
If the custom should become general of
allowing the bridegroom to order and pay
for the church decorations, because men
are generally more liberal than women.
I usually figure that half a dosen men
customers are equal to twice that number
of women.
Bridal Bouquets.
"The most popular bridal bouquet of the
winter, or, at least, one of the most popu
lar with people of means, will be composed
of lilies of the valley and white orchids.
The pure white orchid Is not always easy
to get and It Is by no means the cheapest
flower In the market, which Is the very
reason some men Insist on having a florist
procure it for the bride's wedding day.
"On one occasion, I remember, I tele
graphed practically all over the country
this side of the Mississippi to no purpose
until I struck a florist not far from Boston
who had Just about the number I wanted.
! no more.-
"That bridegroom was the most delighted
creature I ever saw when I told him my
luck, even though the bouquet did cost
him VS.
"Chrysanthemums have always a certain
vogue In November for bridesmaids' bou
quets, particularly if the flower la made
a feature of the church decorations, but
owing to the many new varieties of roses
and the wonderful diversity of their color
It is a foregone conclusion that the pre
ferred flowers for this purpose will be
roses. The variety In the shades of pick
roses Is really remarkable now.

"What Is bothering my daughter and
some.of her friends Just now more than the
style of their gowns 'Is how to manage to
get married before December 1. for no one
wants to put her wedding off till January,
neither does any want to get marrlrd in
December, because December they say Is
looked upon as the debutantes' month.
"Everybody Is so busy at that time rush
ing to debutante teas and doing Christmas
shopping that there is little leisure for any
thing else. Quests that one most counts
on having at a wedding can do no more
than rush In and out again a proceeding
not particularly flattering to a bride, or her
parents either, for that matter.
"Another reason why these girls prefer
November to December for their wedding
is that they want to be settled In their own
house by the holidays.
"Short honeymoons are the proper thing
these days either very short or very long
ones, but nothing half way. If a young
pair decide to sail Immediately after the
wedding for a trip to Europe or around the
world all well and good. If they stay on
this side of the water fashion no longer
requires that they bide themselves for a
mo"th or two In some out of the way cor
ner. "On of the smartest Newport brides of
last spring reappeared In town with her
husband Just six day after the wedding,
and there are other who have followed her
example. My daughter and her husband,
for Instance, will go to housekeeping Just
eight day after they are married." New
York Bun.
SCENERY MUST BE SAVED
Xatare'a Beauty Spot . Assailed by
Industrial and Commercial
Vandals.
If commercial vandalism Is not curbed the
scenery of the United States may finally be
converted into kilowatts, amperes, volts,
horsepower or advertising signs. Great
scenla prospect are being utilized not to
charm the eye and stir the fancy, but to
exploit pills, plasters, tonics, soap, whisky,
patents and the like. When a mighty cata
ract, in whose beauty everybody ha an
equity, 1 destroyed that its waters may run
private machinery for private gain, it is
easy to put up an argument that things
practical should outweigh things senti
mental. This may be a good argument or It
may be a bad argument. In some Instances
pi act leal things should have the right-of-way
over sentimental things, but It should
not be an invariable rule. If every senti
mental thing In the world were obliterated
the world would not be fit to live In. Where
majeatlo hills are blown away and rugged
cliff are mutilated by the quarryman'
drill and blast, legal Justification can often
be found In private property right. But
when a man with whitewash brush and a
barrel of paint converts glorious scenery
Into Irritating advertisements It Is hard to
think of any defense for him. He doe more
than destroy the landscape. He puts a
nuisance where the landscape wa. In a
number et European countries the "scenic

to discourage the vandals. In some of the
citle of the old world posters, placards,

over those sold elsewhere at the price.

On the question of the spoliation of
Niagara Falls for power purposes the New
York Sun says:
"Proposals to convert the waters of
Niagara Into horsepower for mechanical
purposes ought to be regarded by the Amer
ican people as they would regard proposals
to turn the White House into a shoe fac
tory. Yet the beauty of tbe falls Is already
serlouBly menaced."
The New York Time recently commented
on the course of a railroad compnny in es
tablishing a quarry and giant stone crusher
at the Delaware Water Gap, and said:
"The beauty of the Delaware Water Gap
is something which belongs to the nation
and In which every person who has visited
that heretofore beautiful spot has a decided
Interest. 80 It Is with Niagara, and so It Is
with thousands upon thousands of beauty
spots in this country which have fieen de
stroyed or Injured because somebody saw a
chance to make a dollar by so doing. What
we need, therefore, ts an increased public
sentiment In favor of the preservation of
natural beauty. We ought, as a nation, to
develop that sentiment to a point where we
will be able to give such a sane and intelli
gent Interpretation of the law regarding
one's rights with his own that we can pre
vent a corporation from dally offending the
aesthetlo sense. We ought to work up this
sentiment to a point where it will crystal
lize Into laws which will prevent the de
spoiling of any beautiful landscape, whether
by utilitarian structures or advertising
signboards."
A correspondent of a New York paner,
writing of the attention given the protection
of scenery tn Europe, says:
"I have twentytwo acres fronting on the
lake near Lucerne. Switzerland, on which
there are a few forest trees. I am not per
mitted to cut one of those trees without
first obtaining a government -permit. An
Inspector Is sent to see what effect It will
have on the appearance. 60 It ts all ever
Switzerland and most other European coun
tries where they have scenery to protect.
Owners of property cannot cut their trees
at will. So it should be in the United
States." Washington Star.

The three mountains that nearest approach
It In height I have seen at comparatively
short distances. The technical difficulties
they present appear to me to be very great.
"If these four mountains are ever con
quered It will only be by hardy, bold, thor
oughly trained mountaineers, provided with
means of transport superior to any now ob
tainable, after prolonged sieges, during
which they will have to meet and overcome
not only the physical obstacles presented by
the peaks themselves, but also those offered
by altitude, heat, cold, snow, wind and
weather which will become more accen
tuated the higher they climb.
"One or more of the best trained moun
taineers, excelling In physical strength and
with unusual capacity for resisting the en
feebling effects of rarlfled air at very high
altitudes, might possibly, under the most
favorable conditions of weather and snow,
be able to reach the top of Mount Everest.
But these mountaineers cannot go alone
among these mountains. They must have
coolies to carry their camp equipment and
the base camp must be very high, or there
IS no hope of reaching the top. Coolies un
fortunately soon become discouraged and
cannot be forced up to the point necessary
to the attainment of the mountaineer's am
bition. '
"If I could have placed my camp on
Pyramid peak at 21,000 to r.000 feet there Is
little doubt that I should have reached the
top on the next day. for It was windless
and the finest day of the summer, put I
could not Induce the coolies, even with of
fers of twelve times their usual wages, to
carry the camp to that altitude.
"When I and my two assistants had
reached a height of 23,894 feet we did not f.ir
a moment entertain the idea of attempting
to reach the summit, some l,10O feet higher,
This, under the circumstances, would have
been a foolhardy undertaking. It Is prob
able we might In the rourso of the after
noon have reached the top. but the peak
would have bern our mausoleum, for we
could not have regained camp that nltfht,
and a night In the open at that altitude
would have meant certain death from cold,
to say nothing of the danger from fatigun.
"I have grave doubts that any party could
stand the rarefaction of air above the eleva
tions now attained. We found the difficulty
greatest when we went to bed in our camp.
As soon as we bean to dose the respira
tory movements diminished In number and
force, the tissues did net get enough oxy
gen, and we would awaken with a start,
gasping for breath. At these altitudes a
person can breathe better when sitting or
standing than when lying down. We could
not get leep enough. The fact that the
whole party was kept awnke by want of
breath w hlle trying to slei p at 13.3o feet
points to the possibility that in case of an
attempt upon one of the highest summits,
if camps could be established at heights of
i3W feet to feet end above, a they
would have to be, sleep might be entirely
prevented or Interfered with by deficient
oxygenation of the blood to such an extent
that a party would be Incapacitated from
this cause alone from going any higher.
"Himalayan mountaineering, however, is
yet in Us Infancy. The work accomplished
up to this time must be regarded as pioneer
work, done In spite of many obstacles, some
of which may in the future be eliminated."

GREAT HEAD AND MUCH IN IT
Remarkable Memory of a Xea-ro Boy
Who Can Recite 530 Chapter
of the Bible.
"Jimmy" Washington, 17 year old, th
negro "boy preacher" and "Biblical Trod-'
Igy." who Is known in Kansas City to con
duct revival services and deliver lectures
at the different negro churches, can re
peat Ui6 chapters of the Bible, be says,
and can remember the words of a song
after hearing them twice. Although he
never went to school a day in his life, he
can read, write and speak good English.
He has become known as the "Ulack
Moody" and the "Walking Bible." Ha has
lectured before audiences in Carnegie ball
in New York and Tremont Temple in
Boston.
Born In Little Rock, Ark., in 18$, he
asserts that at the age of S years lit. was
favored with the gift of reading and speak
ing to his people by God. In telling of his
powers he said:
"I have no way of accounting for my
natural ability except that it was a gift
sent by God. My mother died when 1 was
a month old. Not long after that my
father met with an accident that oost him
his eyesight. My father secured the
agency in Little Rock, Ark., where we
lived, for Rev. DeWItt- Talmage's book.
'From Manger to the Throne.' By canvass
ing for the book he made a living for us
both.
"One day, when I was 6 years old, my
father came home and threw one of the
books on the floor. I was looking at the
pictures when suddenly I began to read It
with accuracy. My father heard me and
was astonished. He took me to several
white men who had befriended him when
he lost his eyesight and through their In
fluence I was called before the stats leglx
lature of Arkansas. The legislators took
a d.rp interest in my powers a a mere
child and the result was that I wa given
a recommendation by the legislature to
preach, lecture add read to my people.
"I began preaching as a child and have
continued to the present time. The num
ber of conversion In meetings at which I
have spoken will exceed 8,000.
"I learned to write from the autograph
1 of white men to whom I wa Introduced.
I would take the name and trace them.
It wa not long until I could writ well.
"In mathematics I have no ability what
ever. I can count from one to l'JO, but
that is due to memory alone. I can neither
add nor subtract, and multiplication 1 out
of the question.
"While I can read, memorize and recite
anything in English. I find ttuit the- Bible
Is much easier for me to lurn than any
thing tle. I am gradually Increasing the
number of chapters of the Bible that I can
repeat, and smi.e day I hope to be hole to
recite the whole Bible a will as any chap,
ter in it that may be chosen at random. "
The n'gro "boy preacher" ha achieved
success as an evangelist at camp meeting.
He aerts that his evengi-listlc power was
given him by God. While he delivers lec
ture and sermons that he has preiured,
he say tie prtfr speaking extemporane
