Marriage in the Celestial Empire.

Thirty pairs of embroidered slippers
are necessary for the trosSeau of Chi
nese lady of position, and her boudoir
is crammed with confectionery, dried
fruits, burnt almonds, barley, su-
gar, strip of aloes, oranges, gin
ger and chaddocks, all in confusion
with rich silks, jewels of wrought gold
and precious stones, rings. bracelets,
cases for the nails, botkins for the hair,
and a Thousand other charming nick
nacks. In this strange country a young
girl when she marries never has 4
dowry. She is literally purchased either
bv the husband himself or by his rela-
tions. Although she may have no broth
ers she cannot inherit any portion of
her paternal fortune unless her father
makes an express declaration in her IA
vor. Such arrangements are always
completed before the marriage ana are
usually negotiated by agents called
s. Me jim" The young fance is next
presented to her husbands parents.
The husband himself she never sees
until the wedding day, when she is car
ried in a closed chair to the house. The
key of the chairis handed to the bride
groom, who opens the door, and if the
lady within pleases his taste he holds
out his hand to her; if not, he slams the
door and the engagement is at an end,
the girls parents having the right to
retain the purchase-money.

Some Winter Fashions.

Light-cOlored cloths are preferred for
Jackets, and these are made warm
looking by having darker plush or vel
vet collars. The shape of these wraps
differs so little from those worn last
year that it will be a matter of small
expense to remodel last years jackets,
the only change needed being the col
lar, cuffs and pockets of plush. Small
round capes of cloth, heavily beaded,
are imported for early fall wear.
For the neck large collarettes and
fichus of round, straight and square
shapes are shown. as well as those that
are three-conered, or pointed in regu
lar fichu fashion. A great deal of shir
ring is one of the new features of these
articles for the neck, and this is done
not only on white and creamy null
muslin but on colored null in hello
trope, pink, lilac and pale blue shades.
Some white satin is also introduced, and
ivory satin-ribbonS are used for the
square and long-looped bows that adorn
the collar Still another novelty is silk
muslin in dark changeable colors, which
is shirred in scarfs and trimmed with
lace Old gold with blue and heliotrope
colors make pretty changeable tints for
this soft fabric. A kind of Chinese
Grape with incised figures is new for
cravat bows and collarettes in white
and creamy tints. The large Directoire
collars with notched revers and the
full frills worn by Sara Bernhardt,
with a tiny square bow on the left
side of the neck, are stylish designs
for satin and lace collars; colored
velvet with beaded trimmings is also en-
ployed in the same way. The effort seems
to be to heap as much material as posi-
BILE around the neck, and this is often
done so irregularly that the sides differ,
and two or three designs are combined
in one. For instance, one of the richest
novelties has first white satin collar
large enough for shoulder cape, and
on this is mounted a Directoire revers
collar of silk muslin, with three frills Of
pleated Languedoc lace, held on the
left side by an ivory satin bow.
New cravat bows are made of the gay
Madras plaid Surah. Instead of strap,
pearl pin holds the two large loops of
the bow at the top, while below this is a
sailor knot finished with two pointed
handkerchief corners. This is worn
with a round collarette made of three
frills of the new Alencon lace that is
tinted cream in color.
Gilt stitching and cashmere-colored
tinsel-work are used to head rows of
creamy lace on soft null kerchiefs.
Lovely pointed collars entirely of jet
beads, finished with jet fringe, are
shown to wear with black dresses.
Cashmere-colored beads mounted in the
same way are also imported, and serve
as a gay finish for simple dresses.
Squares of jetted net will be worn in
handkerchief shape around the neck in
the street, instead of the long scarfs of
black lace.
New wells of black net have dots as
large as pea wrought with gilt threads,
while others have pea dots of chenille
black, red, white, or else old gold.
Red net with tiny dots is also shown
for wells. Grenadine wells of dark color
have chenille dots of the shade of the
grenadine.-H arper'S Bazaar.

Humboldt and the Lunatic.

"Great wits are sure to madness near
allied" and q quaint anecdote, culled
from Humboldt's Handkerchief" aptly
demonstrates how readily even so keen
an observer as the great German trav-
eler may mistake genius for lunatic.
During one of his many sojourns in
Paris, Humboldt, who took deep in
terest in the mysteries of mental aber-
ration, conceived a desire to converse
intimately with some incurable maniac
and requested one of his scientific
friends, an eminent mad doctor, to give
him the opportunity of meeting one of
his more remarkable patients. A few
days later he received an invitation
from the specialist in. question to supper,
and on his arrival at his friends house
found two strange gentlemen awaiting
him, neither of whom was formally
presented to him by his Amphitryon.
One was an elderly gentleman of grave
demeanor, dressed in the height of the
prevailing fashion, by no means talka-
tive, and manifestly devoted to the
pleasures of the table. The other was
a comparatively young man extremely
excitable in manner, withlong disheveled
hair. ul-made clothes and so exuberantly
voluble that he all but monopolized the
conversation throughout the evening,
although Humboldt himself was
one of the most loquacious men
alive. This Withholding person dis
layedextraordinary versatility and rest
Iessness in his talk, which teemed with
paradoxes and dealt with an infinite
variety of subjects. Humboldt listened
to his brilliant ramblings with absorb
ing interest, and upon taking leave of
his host at a late hour of the night, ex-
pressed his gratitude for the psychology
cal experience afforded him, observing
that the mailman had amused him be-
yond all measure.
" How is that?" asked the doctor;
"you scarcely exchanged a word with
MIN all the evening""
&" mean of course" reioined Hum
boldt, d" that eXcitable young man."
" You are altogether mistaken; the
mailman was that quiet, decorous old
gentleman.

A Rare Bridal Present.

Brussels lace, we believe, still holds
as high a reputation as any that cOntin-
ueS to be made by hand. Sold, as il is,
in large transactions between manufac-
tuners and merchants by weight, the
price Of the finest kinds is seldom less
than 5000 francs pound. and often eX-
eeeds 1900 and 5000 francs. The Bel
gian capital has Just produced a truly
royal veil yet more precious than any
thing that has of late years been made
with bobbin, pin and pillow; and this
exquisite work, the cost of which is to
exceed $4,000 francs, or LOCO pounds
sterling, is q bridal present from the
City of Brussels to the Princess Ste
phanie. For some days it has been pub
lielv exhibited at the Hotel de Vile,
that noblest of Netherland-Gothic build
ings; and the association will suggest a
bond of art that holds together in COM
mon sentiment the most solidly endur-
ing and the most delicately fragile work
of human skill and patience. This superb
veil. which has employed a hundred
and twenty-five workmen for three
months, measures about three yards and
a half ia length by rather more than
three wards In width. In the middle are
the arms of Austria and Hungary fanked
on the right and left by the arms of the
City of Brussels. The border contains
the arms of the nine provinces of Bel
GUM, those of Austria, and those also
of the Belgian kingdom. connected to-
gether by a wreath of flowers; a narrow
border runs all round; and the interven-
ing spaces are filed with flowers and
plants.-COr. London Telegraph.

Farming Not q Risky Business.

THE risks in farming are compare
lively few. There is no danger of ruin
arising from competition; there is none
arising from the treachery of business
associates. The farm, under ordinary
circumstances, is sure to furnish enough
to make the family comfortable, and
extraordinary circumstances, which are
of a providentisl character always, are
not very apt to exist. The farmer is en-
gagged in the production of articles which
the public must have. 1t makes no diff
ference what else the people do without,
they must have bread. They can wear
their old clothes, but thev must have
new -four, and while depression of the
times may limit the demand, it can not
wholly destroy it. Thus is the farmer
engaged in business which is always
active. If other kinds of business are
fiourishing, agriculture must be on the
very topmost round: if other kinds of
business are depressed, agriculture must
still be on round a little above any
other business.
In mercantile or purely speculative
business, there is no certainty of safety
for week and scarcely for an hour.
Financial panics may come and swallow
up values until the merchant is ruined,
and the Spectator stranded; competi-
ton may bankrupt one, ten or scores of
mechanics. A. I. Stewart, with his i'm
mense fortune, could at any time ruin
house that was carrying a large line of
goods, and he often did. But A. T.
Stewart with all his millions could never
have ruined farmer who owned rich
farm, and was out of debt. Within
couple of weeks prominent member of
the Chicago Board of Trade has gone to
pieces. Every one was surprised. There
was nothing in his failure to cause sur
prise; it is surprise that more do not
go. But if news should come that
farmer who had for years been entirely
free from debt, and had been raising
good crops all the time, had gone into
bankruptcy, it would astonish every one,
except that they could account for it
upon the grounds of outside speculation.
Farming is pretty sure business, and
if it can be relieved of some of the un Just
burdens that are pressing it down, the
farmer can afford to be content.-WeSt

Tarring Fence Posts.

A correspondent of the Country Gen.
lcnad11 writes as follows: 81 have tried
tarring fence posts and have seen it
tried by others great many times and
my experience is that near the surface
of the ground (the difficult place to keep
sound) the preServatiye effects of the
tar are completely neutralized in from
one to two years by the action of the
soil-wet and dry. l saw some oak
posts treated with a covering of hot
coal tar, set in July, 1869, which COM
pletely rotted off and the fence had to
be rebuilt in 1877. The location of this
fence, however, was such that it was
subject t.. frequent changes Of wet and
dry.
at occurred to me, some years ago,
that after applying coal tar it would be
a good plan to burn it off, thus produc-
ing a charred surface, which will resist
decay under all circumstances. L set
some white cedar posts in this manner
in 1875 and they are as sound to-day
near the surface of the ground as when
set and since then L have followed the
practice up quite generally. l cover
the posts thoroughly with hot tar, be-
ing careful to cover some inches above
the surface of the ground, then pile up
the tarred ends together. six or eight in
pile and set fire to them, turning
them over, if necessary, while burning,
until the entire surface is charred. 1t is
better to apply the hot tar, as it enters
all the cracks and chinks and also the
pores of the wood, and some of it re-
mains there under the charred surface.
d" 1t will not do to treat green posts
in this manner, as the confined moisture
soon rots the posts from the inside, but
/ can see no reason why dry post so
treated will not last great many years.
- In the experiments which have
been made with coal tar applied to
woodwork exposed to earth and moist
ure, it has been found important to heat
both wood and tar to cause it to enter
the pores and this is doubtless effected
very efficiently by the charring de-
scribed in the preceding report of ex-
periments. Simply applied to the sur
face of wood exposed above the ground
coal tar has been found to do more
harm than good. Where we have used it
for wood at the surface of the ground,
properly driven into the pores, it has
made it last, in some instances, twenty
years, when without this protection it
would not have survived five years.

STRANGE new birds have appeared
in Georgia. A St. Simons letter to the
Brunswick Advertiser says: "Last
week this island was full of beautiful
little birds, the name of which seems to
be unknown. We are told that for
many years they have been recognized
as the very first advance gusr1 of the
large focks of birds going South at the
end of summer. These beautiful little
harbingers seem to be so ex-
ceedingly sensitive in their delicate
organization as to render them emil
nently BETTING barometers, be-
tokening afar off the very first breath OF
sere autumn. They are beautifully
striped, longitudinally, with alternate
layers of black and white, and about the

insects on the trees, and their exit was
as quiet and sudden as their coming"

The ease with which the Esouimau

The ease with which the Esquimaux
of St. Lawrence Island can see to q
great distance and the marvellous way
in which news is transmitted from the
most distant points is really wonderful.
A native will describe the dress and APP
pearance of a man who is approaching
at a great distance. A white man, even
a sharp-eyed sailor, can just make out
that it is human figure. So, if anything
occurs on the coast--if piece of wreck
comes ashore-the full particulars will
be known in short time 1000 miles
from the place where it occurred. 1t is
wonderful system of telegraphy-one

another, and thus speeding intelligence
