TEE marriage ceremony Of the Duke
oil Edinburgh has been served up in great
detail in the English papers. Only a
few, however, have had the ,emerity 10
tell how the bridegroom bungled and
kept The bride waiting for the ring. It
seems that the Duke received the ring
from his brother, but found that the
prayer book in his hand prevented his

Roses All the Year Round.

THE Garden says: cit is comparatively
easy to sdorn each month of the year with
some form Of floral beauty, and In this
way to girdle the season round with
flowers enough and to spare. Still, roses
all the year round continue the exception
rather than the rule. Only in gardens
here and there Is this feat of cultural skill
attempted, and in comparatively few is 1t
actually accomplished. Many succeed in
making roses almost as common, and even
more lovely, by contrast at least, in March
than they are in June. But there is a
dreary blank from November to February
in most gardens hardly lighted up by one
solitary rosebud, and how few can say,
even In the highest ranks, My room has
not been roseless for a dozen or more
years. Is it possible to have an unbrok ken
succession of rosesf No doubt it is; for
what one has done others may accom-
plsh. But what Of the expense and APP
pliances, number and character of houses,
plants, ETC., neededs Nothing to be
alarmed at OF course space, plants and
certain conveniences are requisite, and If
one could command rosary under
glass, properly warmed, the supply OF
roses all the year round would be made
easy. But without that, and with mod
crate supply OF, say, 80, or 100, or 200
plants in pots, the year may be wreathed
round with roses. For the purpose Of an
uninterrupted supply no varieties are so
useful as tea-roses, and few of the su-
perior varieties of noisettes on a back
wall of greenhouse, conservatory, glass
corridor or case are Invaluable for pro-
ducing fine flowers when they are mos,
wanted"

Our sensations are often very deceptive,
especially as to the temperature. We
often feel chilly when the thermometer IL
high, and actually get warmer as the
mercury descends.
Take q piece Of metal, another of wood,
and third Of wooden material. Lay
them side by side on the same table.
There Is really no difference In their tenn
perature. Yet if you place your hands on
them the metal feels cold, the wood
neither cold nor hot, and the wool posi-
lively warm.
If you hold snow In your hand fof any
time you will suffer painful sensation.
SO if you keep your hand in ice-wster
this will soon feel 40 If II were hot and
burning you. But If alcohol or glycerine
are reduced TO precisely the same temper
ature they will have no such effect.
Ether, on the other hand, seems to burn
like ice-water.
Brandy, at thirty degrees below freez-
ing point, may be drank without incon.
venience, II only wooden vessel is used;
A glass one is altogether too cold to be
put to the lips. Rum and cognac, and
such liquids, become thick and syrupy at
thirty degrees below freezing, and at fifty
degrees below they become solid. Brandy
may thus be swallowed In lump out Of
cup Of frozen quicksilver
AT sixty degrees below freezing the
solid brandy begins to produce the sensa-
ton Of cold. To bring II TO this tempera-
ture 1t Is necessary to use carbonic acid
gas, reduced by cold and pressure TO a
liquid and then mixed with ether. This
has to be employed very carefully, for If
it touches the skin 1t produces blisters
like red-hot iron. At seventy degrees of
cold, brandy, If taken with a wooden
spoon, tastes simply like very hot soup.
If metal spoon were used 1t would burn
all the skin off the lips

CEMENT FOR PoRCELAIN.-Perhaps the
best material for joining broken porcelain
is the familiar household cement formed
of white of egg Tor cheese) and quick
lime. We give, however, one other: Two
parts of isinglass are soaked in water un-
til well swollen; the water Is then poured
off and the isinglass is dissolved in alco-
hol, by the aid Of heat. One part of mas
tic is then dissolved in three parts of al
cohol and added to the above solution;
then one part OF gum ammoniacum. The
solution Is well shaken and evaporated to
the consistency of strong glue, when it
solidifies on cooling. For use, the cement
and the articles themselves must be
warmed.

Cremation Among the Old Greeks

THE body was placed upon pyre built
of wood, TO which fire was communicated
in the presence Of those who had attended
the funeral; when the flames were extin-
guished, the bones were collected and
placed in urns made Of various materials.
These were preserved in tombs, built COM
monty on the roadsides without the city
gates. The funeral took place at night.
The procession was headed by musicians;
these were followed by hired mourners,
who lamented and sang the funeral song;
after these came the freedmen Of the de-
ceased, sometimes amounting to consid-
cradle number, wearing the cap OF liberty.
Immediately preceding the corpse were
persons bearing waxen masks, represent
ing the ancestry of the deceased; the
corpse itself, placed upon a couch, was
commonly borne by the freedmen or by
the immediate relatives; the family fol
lowing after-the men, contrary to the
usual custom, with their heads covered,
the women with their heads bare, their
hair disheveled, and often beating their
breasts and uttering piercing cries. II
warranted by the rank Of the deceased
the procession passed through the forum,
and an Grafton was then pronounced over
the body. Finally the corpse, with the
couch upon which 1t was borne, was
placed upon the funeral pyre, built COM
monty in the form Of an altar, with four
equal sides. The nearest relative, with
averted face, kindled the pyre, and per-
fumes, oils, articles Of food, ornaments
and clothing were frequently thrown on
while it was being consumed. When the
pile was burned down the embers were
extinguished with wine, the bones and
ashes collected by the nearest kin, sprink-
led with perfumes and placed in an urn.
AS the Christian religion gradually OBJ
tanned the ascendency corresponding
change took place in the mode of dispos-
ing of the dead; bodies were no longer
burned, but were inferred, and the offices
Of the church were substituted for the
rites Of paganism.-Forney's Press.

QUEENS CAKE.-One pound of -four,
one of sugar, half pound of butter (that
which has lain in Jar of rose leaves is
best), five eggs, gill of wine, gill of
cream, nutmeg, half teaspoonful of

chopped raisins. Stir the butter and
sugar to cream, beat the whites and
yolks of the eggs separately, and after
they and the -four are also mixed with it
warm the cream and wine together and
add them, then the saleratus, and last the
fruit. Frost 1t, or sift fine sugar over the
