Marriage In Java.


As a small party of as were sitting on
the wide piazza of our dwelling house
in Java, early one evening, our atten-
ton was called to sounds Of Malay mu-
sic evidently approaching US. Looking
down the street we saw procession of
native men (Javancse) marching along
to the music, and four abreast. : In the
second row there were five. The center
one was covered by a. large umbrella.
! inquired why this man was SO honored
and was told that he was to be married.
The next day l was taken to see the
house where the bride lived and where
they were making grand preparations
for the marriage. They were con
strncting a large and covered platform
of bamboo for the accommodation Of
the guests and the. Malay band Of mu-
sic. On the succeeding day we heard
the same performers and saw a longer
procession than the first one. At the
head of this procession came two
wooden figures Oman and woman) about
eight feet high. These were hollow, so
that the boys could enter and operate
to give them motion. Next behind
them were the musicians; then an omen
carriage drawn by two ponies covered
with flowers and variously colored pa
pers cut up lin patterns. Inside sat
the bride and groom. The bride
was decked in flowers and Jewels, and
her face, head and dress were COM
pletely covered with yellow ochre pow
der. A number of carriages followed
the party with relatives and friends who
were also adorned with flowers. Jewels,
etc. On the third day was invited to
attend the wedding, SO we walked down
to the brides house There we found
the bamboo platform occupied by a
band of music and an exhibition OF
marionettes, which personated charac-
ters in legends of the Javanese people.
The hadii, or native priest, was con-
Quoting this novel show, which took
hours to go through. |, however, was
more anxious to see the bride, and ac-
cordingly was ushered into the princi-
pal room. 1t was large, square
apartment, the front being opened by
four large double doors. In one of the
remote corners of the stone floor was
seated ON a handsome mat the bride
elect, with downcast eyes, and in the
adjacent corner sat the bridegroom.
The bride was famed by two little girls
and the groom by two boys. In the
center of the floor their feast was spread.
The festivities lasted through the night,
and refreshments were abundantly
served to the guests in and about the
house at any time and all times just rs
they called for them. At intervals the
dancing girls were introduced and the
tamtams for their dance music. At
break Of day the groom claimed his wife
and escorted her to his own house.
They then had procession similar to
the first one, except that the BRIDES
presents were seen carried in front by
coolies. At the groom's house festiv-
tiles were continued according to the
length Of his purse. 1t often happens
that these speople use all the money
they have on such occasions. They
are improyident, and ordinarily live on
very small sums, obtaining easily the
little they need for maintenance. -JGUa

Stupid Women.

Mrs. Lincoln, of the Boston cooking
school, has just issued volume of her
recipes, in the preface to which she re.
marks that the reader may consider her
unnecessarily minute in her directions,
but that her experience has taught her
that no detail is small enough to be left
unmentioned, and we might as well add,
chat it is not safe to take even the pos
session of common sense for granted.
This may sound trltle severe, yet it
would probably be agreed to by any
body who should take the trouble to
visit the cooking school, and sit for an
hour listening to Mrs Lincoln's lecture
and to the stupid and insane questions
asked by well dressed and apparently
intelligent women.
1t Glanced that one afternoon some
wooden spoons, such as Mrs. Lincoln
uses, had been ordered by her for vari-
Gus ladies who had wished to buy them.
The spoons We're distributed to their
various purchasers, and,a moment Of
silent examination followed. Then a
lady enquired in distrustful and plead
ing voice:
Mrs. Lincoln, could-er-I use my
spoon TO Stlf 1r0SJlngP
Mrs. Lincoln kindly gave her the re-
quired permission, snd she relapsed
into contented silence
Another pupil was much excited by
the fact that when it was desirable to
increase the the heat of the gas range
the Jets in the chandelier were lowered.
"Why" demanded this bewildered
female in an awestruck tone, .'why does
she have to fry her croquettes in the
dark"
She evidently thought the frying OF
croquottes to be religious rite which
demanded dim and mystic light for its
proper pursuance.
Yet another intelligent questioner-
but this was in the olden days of Miss
ParIoa- propounded this conundrum
with all tie gravity which beftted its
weight.
''Niiss Parloa, my family is so large
that one loaf of angel cake is not
enough; now if / want to make two
loaves, must l double the quantity OF
materialsP'
These examples are not given as ex-
amples of ignorance of cookery, because
that, of course, is entirely exeusable in
anybody who is not obliged to cook,
but it is the lack of simple common
sense which is so remarkable in women
of at least ordinary intelligence and of
good education. -BoSton Courier

ried women, nor is there any country in
the world in which the husbands are SO
good, so kind and so affectionate as in
the States. In fact, they spoil their
wives In the railway carriages the
wife Tolls at her ease, surrounded by
cheap novels, while the husband nurses
the children and supplies all their
wants. Domestic service in America is
much worse than in this country.
There are very few houses, indeed, even
among the wealthiest Americans, which
have housekeeper, and houses which
in this country would have four or five
servants are managed in America by
two. The servants have to do all kinds
of work, and although there may be an
opening for our '.generaEsu or maids
of-all-work,. the English servant ac-
custofned to good placesin this country
would not tolerate the condition OF
domestic servants in the States. As
the service itself is more onerous the
servants are much less pleasant to do
with than English servants. There is a
great demand for domestic servants,
especially in the West; but anything
more wicked than inviting servant girls,
without friends and without organiza-
tions to make their way to the Far West
is difficult to imagine. Miss Faithful is
organizing system by which the sur
plus women ofthis country can emigrate
under friendly auspices to those centers
of population in the States where the
demand for English domestic servants is
greatest. There is also great demand
for eligible maidens for matrimonial
purposes. Not in the East, however,
where the matrimonial market is sadly
overstocked, but in the West.
There are hundred female doctors
for one in this country; i'm every town
there are at least dozen, who have a
large practice, chiefly among women
and children, but they do not refuse
male patients when they can get them.
The chief objection to female doctors on
the part ef .iEopen Is that they are too
hard and unsympathetic. With men
the lanY-dpotor may relax. somewhat,
but indicating with their own sex their
peculiar charm disappears III one
university Miss Faithful found as many
as sixty medical students, studying for
their degree, but in that college anatom-
ical classes were not attended by both
sexes at the same time In Boston,
however, there is q university at which
male and female students go through
all their studies in common, the dissect-
ing-room being occupied at the same
time by both sexes, a custom which is
more honored in the breach than in
the observance. Thousands of women
are employed in the United States as
clerks and the standard of commercial
morality is exceedingly high, no case
OF embezzlement having been reported

The Jews in Russia.

There can be no question that the
Jews have hard time of it in Russia.
The miserable scenes which have oeen
enacted at Novgorod are only a repeti-
ton of what has repeatedly taken place
during the past two or three years in
various parts of the Cars dominions.
The Russian law itself teaches the peo-
pile to look with contempt and hostility
upon the Jews. Under that law the
avocations open to the jew are strongly
restricted, He cannot be q lawyer or
doctor, or even merchant in the ordi-
nary sense. He is forever forbidden to
hope for anything like social rank or
political preferment. If he would live
he must stick to usury and the smaller
trades. He stands, moreover, in per-
petual peril of insult, outrage and even
death. His appeal for justice in the
courts and for protection from the State
is often little needed. The orthodox
Russian, however, seeks the aid and
converse of the jew, when, as often
happens, he is in need of funds. All
over Eastern and Southern Russia the
Jews have been for many years absorb
ing the land and other properties of
the small boyard and the agricultural
class, foreclosing mortgages and grasp
ing pledged effects. The natural issue
is the ever recurring persecution which
the Government is not always prompt
to check,-BoSt0n Advertiser.
