A Chinese Wedding.

A gentleman in China writes an inter-
esting account OF the marriage of Mr..
Charles K. Marshall This young gen.
tleman is native Chinaman, but was
brought to this country in his childhood.
l left home on the Sth, about 10 o'clock
a. m, in company with Charles and his
bride. We are not, however, on the
same boat. We have been two days to-
gether, but l have not yet seen her face,
it being Chinese custom for the bride to
keep herself very close and concealed
from view. Charles was married on the
Goth OF November, in Shanghai, to a
Christian young lady OF the Episcopal
Church. They were married in the
Episcopal Church about candle light.
The church was crowded to overfowing.
The ladies were dressed in the richest
attire, beautifully embroidered. Their
head-dresses were filled with jewels, gold
and silver ornaments, and small, tinkling
bells hung around in great profusion.
The bride was brought into the church
in q handsome sedan chair, covered with
red cloth, and her face veiled with red,
so that no one could see. She was then
led to the altar by two old ladies, the
bridesmaids following, and the bride
groom meeting her at the altar. When
We reached the native brothers house,
where bountiful supply OF good things
were awaiting us, the veil was lifted and
our friend Charles looked as though he
was electrified, for he had nersr seen her
face before. 1t is the custom of the
Chinese that the bride shall not be al
lowed to speak for three days, and all she
eats has to be put into her mouth by
the bridesmaids. She is not allowed to
use her hands to do any thing for three
days, and she is not allowed to sleep du-
ring that time, except what she can get
by leaning her head upon the table or
the side Of the bed. But the worst and
strangest part is to come next. From
the first day Of their marriage, day and
night, there is not a moments peace in
the brides chamber. All invited guests
are allowed to go in at any time, night or
day, and make as much noise rs they
like to prevent either party from getting
any rest. Neither bride nor groom can
take any rest, for they are at the mercy
OF those who are hidden to the feast.

Rosy People In n Nasty Trade.

Somewhere at Lambeth, few years
since, there lived q bone-crusher, who
was likewise bone-boiler and maker
of soap, and besides all this, did a large
business in the manufacture of bone-dust
manure by the agency OF sulphuric acid.
At last, the combined odors arising from
these manufactures induced his neigh
bors to send the sanitary inspector to
speak with him, and in the end he was
summoned to appear before magistrate,
and show cause why, as q bone-boiler
and crusher, he should not be abolished.
He responded with the promptitude OF q
man who holds the reins of victory in
his hands. He had not one argument to
show in justification of his right to keep
his mills revolving and his tanks bubb-
ling he brought with him nine distinct
arguments, not one of which could be
galnsayed, in the shape OF family of
eight girls and boys with their mother.
The good lady herself had been in
stalled mistress of the bone mill as soon
as, with her enterprising husband, she
returned from her wedding tour, and
never since had she, for single month,
been away from it. All the children
were born "on the premises, and there
they were well grown and perfectly Jolly
and healthy, and not one Of them had
even known what serious illness was.
Moreover, there was forthcoming ample
medical testimony to the effect that dur
ing the prevalence Of cholera that was
devastating the neighborhood, not a
single one of the many "hands" employ
ed about the awful smelling coppers was
in the least affected. 1t is very extraor-
dinary.

Made Ground and the Public Health.

Itisa common practice about large
towns, and particularly those with water
fronts, to fill in the low situations, and
thus make them available for building
sites or other purposes. When this is
done with fresh earth, and thorough
drainage is at the same time secured, no
doubt the healthfulness Of the locality is
much increased. But when, as is too
commonly the case, this so-called "made
ground" is little else than coal-ashes mix
ed with street scrapings, and all sorts of
decayed and decaying animal and vege-
table matter, the case becomes quite Diff
ferent. Filling with this kind Of stuff is
now going on in the upper part OF New
York and when, last summer, it was pro-
posed to keep the garbage and ashes sep
arate, one result OF which would be the
getting rid of much OF this decomposing
matter, the authorities refused to inter-
fere. The emanations from such heaps
OF filth must be anything but healthy,
and it has been observed that among
those living upon or near such tracts
many diseases rage with peculiar violence
Hence the use OF this kind Of material
for grading, and the erection of dwell
lings thereon, is most strongly condemn
ed by several eminent authorities in san
itary science.

Hunt IN Your " Webster.n

There are fewer people who are correct
in their orthograph than one would sup
pose possible, and the mistakes made by
the large majority Of people in spelling
the words of which the subjoined SEN
tences are composed are by no means
few:
at is an agreeable sight to witness
the unparalleled embarrassment of har-
assed peddler in attempting to guage
peeled onion which Sibyl has stabbed
with pionard regardless OF the inuuen-
does of the lilies Of the carnelian hue"
"Considering the carnelian hues and
separating the inneundoes from the incip-
lent beginnings, I will simply state that
the cobbler's pony ate a potato from a
peddler's wagon which was gauged by a
Sibyl on an unparalleled trestle work. !"
These sentences are old, and may look
very simple, but there are very few per.
sons who can write them off quickly and
correctly without references.

Ventilation Through Single Openings

Many people suppose that, in order
properly to ventilate room, openings
on opposite sides must be provided, so
that passage of air through the apart
ment may take place. This doubtless
gives more rapid change Of air than
any other method, but it exposes the oc-
cupants to the action of currents, and
thus frequently becomes the source OF
colds. That IN active interchange be.
tween the external and internal air will
go on through single opening may be
readily shown by very simple expert
ment. Raise the lower sash OF window
in q room otherwise closed, and let q
person who is smoking station himself
in front OF the opening. When the
cloud OF smoke is directed toward the
upper part OF the open space it will be
seen to escape outward ; when on the
contrary it is directed toward the lower
part of the opening, it will be ear,e1
inward and toward the floor. As long
as there is any density of the external
and internal air, such circulation will
continue. Provided the inmates of the
apartment avoid q position Immediately
adjacent to the aperture, no currents will
be felt, as the air in the other parts Of
the room will be moving in much larger
masses, and at greatly reduced rate Of
speed,

How TO REsr.-The best mode Of rest
ing when fatigued, depends upon the
cause OF the fatigue and the condition of
the person at the time. There is one
thing, however, which will always rest q
tired person, and that is q sponge or
towel bath over the entire surface Of the
body, followed by q thorough rubbing
and friction Of the surface. OF course
the temperature Of the water and the
vigor and amount of the rubbing must
be graduated to the strength of the per-
son. 1t is generally best if given by o
second person.
When the fatigue is mental, arising
from over exertion OF the brain, the
muscles should be called into action,
as by walking, horseback riding, rowing,
playing ball, pitching quoits, gymnas-
tica, etc.
General muscular fatigue is quickly
relieved by lying On the face and having
some one rub and percuss the back Wig
orously. Also, but less really, by lying
fat upon the back upon hard couch or
bed, or upon the floor, with the hands
back of or under the head, but the head
not otherwise raised, and taking full
deep breaths.
Local muscular fatigue may be relieved
by rubbing and percussing the part, or
by changing position and bringing other
parts of the body into action.

A CoNTRETENps AT A WEDDHG.-A
wedding ceremony, locally looked upon
as Of unusual importance on account of
the high standing of the parties, took
place at Newport, Ky, at midday recent
". To give greater impressiveness to
the scene, the church had been darkened,
and as the organ began to roll forth the
wedding march the happy couple started
to approach the altar. The lights were
burning dimly, and the sexton at the
moment attempted to turn on the gas !;
but alas nervous and excited, he turned
the wrong way, and in an instant the
clergyman, the wedding party, and the
assembled friends were in total darkness.
At this juncture, happily, gentleman
who stood near window at the right OF
the altar pulled down Il blind from the
top, and the bright sunlight sTeamed in
and rested on the bridal party. The
rest of the assembly being in gloom, the
effect was magical and beautiful, and
what at first seemed well calculated to
vex and annoy was looked upon rs a
most happy omen.

Living nj the Hotels.

A proprietor of hotel gives a re-
porter some figures that are interesting.
We copy: "Senator Cameron, at small
hotel in Washington, paid for himself
and wife $3.50 per month, and but had two
rooms. Senator Fenton had O parlor
and two bedrooms, aud an office, and
paid 81, 900 per month. Mr.. S. S. Cox
and wife paid $3.50 per week, and gave
him buffet supper for 100 which cost
him 81, 500 Mr.. W. s. Huntington
gave the japanese the finest spread ever
set in Arlington Hotel there were twen-
ty persons and he paid $1,000. A par
lor and three bedrooms in the second
story, with a small family occupying
them, are worth to me $3.50 per week
during the season and one guest pays
for parlor, bedroom, and bathroom
$500 per month.
"At the Delevan House, Albany, DR..
Gautier used to pay 1915 per week, and
General Darling, with parlor, three
bedrooms, and four persons, paid S400.
Our hotel at Lake George had 81, 900 on
the register last season, IN four months,
we took in that space of time 1924, 900;
and the net proceeds were So, 1000.
"The Fifth Avenue Hotel rents for

AT DARTMOUTH COLLEGE, few days
ago, the students were surprised to hear
their president, in solemn words and
ominous tones, accuse them OF engaging
in n leagued conspiracy, and declare that
such 4 thing could not go on without
his cognizance While the innocents
trembingly awaited the evident dis
closure OF some foul plot or mischieyous
design, he suddenly said he would give
his countenance and utmost aid to this
measure, which originated in the minds
OF the students The "leagued con-
spiracy" is this The undergraduates
propose to rise among their friends and
alumni the sum of at least S15, 900, to
be expended in heating the college
buildings with steam and lighting them
by gas, thus diminishing the danger
from fire, to which these buildings, with
their valuable contents, are exposed, and
at the same time securing to the oc-
cupants many conveniences and advan-
tages not now enjoyed.
