NO WEDDING FUSS.
Adam set the fashion of weddings. There was no fuss nor flummery; no ting, no well, no white silk, no wedding cards, no bridal presents. He fell asleep a bachelor and woke up a married man. He had but a short courtship, and popped the question at his first meeting with Eve. He and Eve were-over young to marry; not over two or three days old, according to the record, They were married in a garden without a feart, without anything except love and paradise.

Empires go to plecen when they consist of fecongruous and infusible elements. The empire of Alexander the Great comprised a dozen races whose normal atitude toward each other was one of hostility. When the master hand was withdrawn the dominion resolved itself into its original elements. The same cause accounts for the disintegration of the Roman empire. The several provinces had nothing in common but natural hate. When Rome fell they flew apart in obedience to centrifugal energy. In the empire of Chink there have never been in mod ra times but two races, the Mongols and the Tar- tars, and several centuries of cohabitation, have practically blended the two into There is
