In precisely what mannerano when h this change of heart and wedding h ways came about nobody really khows, r. but it has. First it was the unexpected creeping of a "Mrs." into the sort ciety notice of the weddiDgs which i- had always hitherto been marked by J a predominance, an exclusivencss, al1 most, of the "Miss" clement. Then, - almost before the talk and chatter r and gossip incident upon such an un, wonted occurrence had died away? . long before the friends at. the first i "married maid of honor" bride had 1 decided whether she had quarreled with her sister upon the eve of the ' wedding or whether she chose a mari t ied woman for her maid of honor on account of family reasous?the "ma; tron of honor" funcy was in foil swing And then, still so short a time ago chut not quite all the novelty and . strangeness has slipped away from U - l.i - 1 ineaauu tue practice?tne "ina ' Vn" was dropped in favor c? the r au(* "me honored maid. u> autftS?* (iiffereuce between the old ,r 6w olKk! maitl of honor is that the >< old oneWK"'ly marlM while 'ho * 8 li ro'uOGrr ln1^-.!. , sb most people it woulcTsee?

Alter much effort and a large expenditure of money it was found that it could be grown in India but of a quality which would not compare with that raised in this country. Australasia, too, proved unsuitable to the proper cultivation of that plant. Consequently those who direct the destinies of the British Empire saw that in order to make its manufacturers independent ot the United Slates, in so fur at least as j cotton was concerned, it was necessary I for Great Britain to secure for all tiiae a hold on Egypt and the Egyptian Soudau, territory in every way suited to the growth of the fiuest ootton. | How she has been ai?W.i; * \r ef-1 forts N?<b*t chTe' at dohr^^HweuJ-.. of t -M relinquished Egypt by decline? ?sWq. ~ to pay her share >. ? * ? 9jdl[7 1 ting down the insurreott.T m,d^twjr the Mahdi and the reconquest of;"a? \ Soudan is familiar to all who kee) by \ touch with the world's import the \ events.
