Weddings.

| As the semi-annual bridal season is at
hand, it is the time to plead for a reform
in weddings. Every year this slcredest
of all occasions is turned more and more
into an opportunity for display, and
| for replying to some fancied 80
| cial obligation. Instead of the time
when n few of the closest friends gather
| to witness the solemnest compact human
beings can frame, it is chosen us the mo-
ment for bringing together the larger part
! of family's social circle, 20 show the
bride in her bridal garments; to prove
how many flowers and refreshments the
/ family can afford; and with shame be it
said, to exhibit to criticism and light
comment the precious tokens hat should
have come with tender record to the
maid on the eve OF her new life
a wedding must not he uncheerful;
but it must certainly be solemn to ali
who realize what it is On the one side
it is renouncing all old ties, promising to
begin with faith, and hope, and love, a
new and wholly untried existence. On
the other it Is the acceptance of sacred
trust, the covenant to order life anew in
ways rs shall make the happiness of two
instead OF one. Can such an occasion be
fitting for revelry? Is it not wiser, more
delicate, TO bid only the nearest friends
to marriage ceremony, and leave the
/ feasting and frolic for a subsequent time?
We are sure there are few girls who, if
they reflect Oh the seriousness of the step
they are about to take, will not choose to
make their VOW merely within the loving
/ limits Of their home circle. All our best
/ instincts point to the absolute simplicity
and privacy of wedding services; only n
perversion Of delicacy could contemplate
the asking of crowds of half-sympathetic
or wholly curious people to attend the
/ fulfilment of the most solemn of con-
tracts. Let there be much paty-making
rejoicing and pleasure taking afterwards
as hearts desire; but let the solemn vows
be made in the presence only of those
nearest and dearest.-Scribner's for Oc-
! tober.

a Remarkable Masonic IncIdent.

The first Masonic funeral that ever &C.
Cured in California took place in 1919,
and was performed over brother found
drowned in the Bay Of San francisco An
account of the ceremonies states, that on
the body of the deceased was found a sill
yer mark of Mason, upon which were
engraved the initials of his name A
little further investigation revesled 20 the
beholder the most singular exhibition of
Masonic emblems that was ever drawn by
the ingenuity of man upon the human
| skin. There is nothing in the his
tory of traditions of Freemasonry equal
| to it.
Beautifully dotted on his left arm, in
red and blue ink, which time could not
efdce, appeared all the emblems of the
entire apprenticeship. There was the
Holy Bible, square and compass, the
twenty-four inch gauge and common
gavel. There were also the Masonic
Pavement, representing the ground floor
of King Solomon's Temple, the identical
tassel which surrounds it, and the blSz-
ing star in the centre. On his right arm
and artisticalIy executed in the same iu-
dellible liquid We're the enlblems pertain
| ing TO the iellov-craft's degree, VIZ: The
square the level and the plumb. There
were also the five columns representing
the FIVE orders of archtecture-the Tus-
can, Doric, Ionic, Corinthian and Com
posite
| In removing his garments from his
body, the trowel presented itself with all
the other tools of operative Masonry.
Over his heart was the pot Of incense.
On other parts OF his body was the bee
| hive, the book of constitutions, guarded
| by the Tyler's sword, pointing to naked
heart; the All-Seeing eye, the anchor
and ark, the hour-glass, the scythe, the
forty-seventh problem Of Euclid, the sun,
moon, stars and comets the three steps
which are emblematical of youth, man
hood, and age. Admirably executed was
the weeping virgin, reclining on a broken
column, upon which lay the book of con-
! stitutions In her right hand she held
the pot of incense, the Masonic emblem
of pure heart, and in her left hand
sprig Of Acacia, the emblem of the i'm
mortality of the soul.
Immediately beneath her stood winged
Time, with his scythe by his side. which
cuts the brittle thread of life, and the
hour-glass at his feet, which is ever re-
minding us that our lives are whitening
away. The withered and attenuated fig
ures of the Destroyer were placed amid
the long and flowing ringlets of the dis
consulate mourner. Thus were striking
emblems of mortality and Immortality
blended in one pictorial representation.
1t was spectacle such as Masons
never saw before, and in all probability
such as the fraternity will never witness
again. The brothers name was never

One of the most profitable az well as
interesting kinds of business for women is
the care of bees. In recent agricultu-
raj report it is stated that one lady bought
four hives for SO, aud in FIVE years she
was offered 81, 500 for Der stock, and re-
fused it as not enough. In addition TO
this increase in her capital, in one Of
these five years she sold twenty-five hives
and four hundred and thirty pounds Of
honey. It is also stated that in five years
one man, from six colonies of bees to
start with, cleared 200 pounds of honey
and fifty-fout colonies. When properly
instructed, almost any woman In the city,
as easily as in the country, can manage
bees, and make more profit than in any
other method demanding 50 little time
and labor But in the modes ordinarily
practised, few can make any great profit
in this employment. 1t is hoped time
is at hand when every woman will be
trained to some employment by which she
can secure to herself an independent
home and means to support family, in
case she does not marry, or is left Il widow,
with herself and family to support
American Woman's Home.

The true heroism Of Jim Bludsoe, en-
eineer Of that historical wreck the ''Prai-
RE Belle" in "holding her nozzle agin
the bank till the last galoot's ashore,
was uoby inflated day or two since by
an engineer and fireman on the Marietta
and Cincinnati railroad. Their train,
bound eastward, had to cross a bridge,
one span of which crossed creek and
the other a roadway. The train was
moving slowly as it neared the bridge,
not exceeding twelve miles an hour.
When too near to be of service, the
engineer observed that switch had been
displaced, and that the engine must OF
necessity run into the bridge. Both he
and the fireman might have saved their
lives by jumping from the locomotive,
but the result would have been fatal to
the passengers. They bravely remained,
reversed the engine and applied the pat
ent air brake. 1t was too late for them.
The engine dashed through the woodwork
and landed in the roadway below; the
tender followed, crushing the two brave
fellows against the boiler; a postal car
behind fell upon the tender, resting one
end upon the abutmeut of the bridge,
and checked the motion of the train.
The sleeping passengers in the palace cars
were not even awakened by the catastro-
,phe.
Only the road hands discovered the
heroic sacrifice which Perdew and Parent,
of Chillicothe, had made. Two charred
and shattered corpses were found in the
wreck of the engine, all that remained OF
the two linen who died for men," Rail-
reading has its heroes as well as Its
knaves, but usually the former are ton
humble in their lives to be heard of until
their death.

A correspondent of the Chicago Jour
nal says:
ga startling announcement from Paris
will interest your lady readers. The new
style of head gear is to be the old-fash-
toned bonnet, with brims, crowns, strings
and perhaps curtains. 1t appears that
the conclusion has been reached that the
prevalence of neuralgia and kindred dis
eases, unknown comparatively a few
years ago, has been due to the fashion of
leaving the head, neck, ears and throat
without any protection. The large num-
Der of weak eyes is also attributed to the
want of shade afforded by the fall or cur
tain. l am afraid, however, chat the ar
gument will not hold good, for neuralgia
is almost as common a complaint with
men as with women, and We certainly
have made no change in the chimney
pot constructions we call hats.

NV friends, if there is any man whom
from the bottom Of my heart pity, it is
the man who believes that all mankind
are cheats and swindlers, and who consid-
ers life merely game of grasping and
gripping. If there is any young man for
whom | feel deep regret, as for a man
sure TO fail, sure to live and die wretch
eddy, it is the young man who goes forth
into the world believing that the only
motives in this world are selfish motives.
Depend upon it that selfshness is not the
only motive in this world-nay, it is not

French Women.

If you get into conversation with n

her living, and if circumstances permit
you to draw her ont concerning the cOm-
curative worth Of French men and
French women in her rank OF life, ten 10
one she will conclude with some remark
not highly complimentary to the sterner
sex. 1t is inevitable that this should be
so if she is woman Of acuteness and

must have remarked how large proper
ton OF the work is done by women. In
