Clara Belle says in New York let
ter to the Cincinnati Enquirer Var
ious influences are at work to change
the fashionable time for getting mar
ried from the spring to the autumn.
New Workers have been accustomed
to mate just after Easter, and in the
circles of our acutest culture and big
gest wealth there are moro weddings
In a few weeks of the early spring
time than during the rest Of the year.
These matches were sometimes the re-
suit of the winter season of dancing
and other festivities akin to Irritation
in town, but not usually. AS a rule
they were the climaxes Of engagements
nude in the preceding summer. There
no time like the torrid one, and no
place equal to the hot resorts so favor
able to the generation Of love. Girls
are never so bewitching as when dress
ed in the soft white nummery Of July
and August. A merely pretty mortal
in dark tight costume becomes Il
beauteous angel when clothed in the
sweetness and light of nainsook. Every
sensitive and alert girl knows that she
can impress imam more easily ard eff
fectually in summer than in winter The
surroundings of rural ty have a little
to do with it, no doubt, but the main
reason is that she is more alluringly
dressed. Well, the consequence is that
about 76 per cent. of the girls who
spend the summer at Newport, Long
Branch or Saratoga come back be-
trothed-~informally, if not in posi-
tive manner. The wedding days are
accordingly set for the ensuing spring.
Such has been the usage for many
years. But we are a rapid people. We
get up to higher rate of social speed
every year. Half year or three
quarters is too long to wait for matri-
mony after it has been contracted for.

The three words commonly applied,
in the English language, to the men,
bers of the female sex of the animal
Man, vary widely in their significance.
Female" is opprobrious. 1t refers
solely to sex, and is no more applicable
to a woman than it is to cat or hen.
1t ought to be expunged entirely from
print and conversation, except in cases
and places where it is used in contra
distinction to male, to express the sex
of homo, which is spoken or written
about LADY" suggests a dainty,
delicate creature, possessed of much
superficial propriety and pride, perhaps
also of culture, but il says nothing of
character. Once it was an honorable
title but now that it is commonly APP
piled to every member Of the sex who
can more or less follow the fashion, it
has become lowered without elevating
those on whom it is 50 freely showered.
Woman" is best. The word suggests
all that is feminine-human, instead Of
the feminine only. 1t brings to mind
the perfect woman, nobly planned,
to warn, to comfort, to command" of
Wordsworth. 1t is the true title of
mans partner in life, the sharer in his
Joys and sorrows Yet if a man calls
his wife woman" the result is not
pleasing.

The probabilities are that all the posi-.
bilities OF steam as q servant of man have
been discovered, and that whatever may
be done in the future in the way Of APP
plying steam TO human uses will be
through the instrumentality OF improved
apparatus. We may give orr railroad
trains and our steam vessels higher rates
of speed than they now have, and we
may, in various ways, utilize vaporized
water, but any new discoveries of the
properties of steam arc, to say the least,
doubtful. 1t is not so however, with re-
gard to electricity. Here is a great
natural force, the properties and peculi-
arities of which are as yet but half un.
derstood, and much as has been done in
the way of claiming the lightning it is
still to large extent free oil human con
troll, and it has a mystery attached to it
which gives a particular fascination to
the investigations of the scientists and
TO the efforts of mcchanicans to apply it
as working force. Its indeed, scarcely
too much to say, Notwithstanding all that
has been done of late years in the way
of investigating and utilizing electricity,
that electrical science is still in its in
fancy, and that great as the achievements
of the past have been, the promises OF
the future are still greater.

LADIES' DEPARTMENT.
The Queens petticOat,

1t was at about the same date 1855
56) that our gracious Queen set the
fashion of wearing scarlet under
petticoat, an idea obtained from the
milkmaids at Balmoral. 1t is said
that the late Prince Consort, in adj
miring the effect of the red petticoat
in the landscape, suggested that Her
Majesty should adopt one also. This
sealed the fate of white pctticoats in
England. They had been worn previ-
ously to that both in summer and
winter, and of course, in order to make
sufficient warmth, several had to be
put on, thus adding to the weight to be
carried at the waist. Since the intro-
duction ofthe scarlet skirt the fashion
of the colored petticoat has been main
tanned, and the useful skirt lined with
leather has also been introduced for
walking in the country In muddy
weather.

Oddities Of Chinese Chronology.

The ancient belief Of Chinese writ.
ers was that there had been before the
time of Confucius a period of $780,
600 and some odd years, when the
powers of Heaven and Earth first unit
ed to produce man as the possessor of
the soil of China. However, from the
time of the Emperor Yaou, upward of
1000 years before Christ, the Chinese
had two different years-a civil year,
which was regulated by tho moon, and
the astronomical year. which was So
lar. The civil year consisted in gen
eral Of twelve months or lunations,
but occasionally thirteenth was add
ed, in order to preserve its correspond
ence with the solar year. Even at
that early period the solar or astro-
nomical year consisted of 365t days,
like our Julian year, and it was ar
ranged in the same manner day be-
ing differentiated every fourth year. At
the instance Of the Jesuit Schall, the
Chinese in the seventeenth century
adopted the European method Of di-
vding the day into twenty-four hours,
each hour into sixty minutes, each
minute into sixty seconds. The civil
day begins at midnight and ends at the
midnight following. Since the year
1853 before Christ the Chinese writers
have adopted the practice Of dating
the year from the accession Of the
reigning emperor. An emperor on
succeeding to the throne gives his
name to the years of his reign. lie
ordains, for example, that they shall
be called Tate, and the years succeed
ing the second, third, and 50 on to the
end Of the chapter, until it suits the
"Great Pure Or Great Bright to or
dain that the years Shall be called by
some other appellotion. The periods
thus formed are called by the Chinese
Nien-hao. According to this method of
dating the years new era begins with
every reign, and the years correspond
ing to a Chinese date, can only be dis
covered when the inquirer has before
him a catalogue Of the Nicn-hoa, with
their relation to tho years of the Chris
tian era Chicago Inter Ocean.

Great Rat Catching.

Duchaletet gives an account Of
probably the biggest rat catching bout
on record says Il Paris letter. An old
proprietor of one of the slaughter
houses near Paris had certain place
entirely surrounded by walls, with
holes only lar.5e enough to admit the
passage in and out of the vermin. The
carcasses of several dead horses were
placed in this inclosure. The holes
wa Iuivhly "ai quietly otorPea after
a small army of rats had gone to the
dead horse banquet. Duchaletet en-
tered with alghtel torch in ono hand,
a club in the other. lie could not hit
amisS; whenever he struck he did good
execution. When he had finished, $500
carcasSes awaited burial.
In tho time of George III. there
used to be royal rat catcher, and in
1862 the board of health Of Br Stol
gave rat catcher $40 a year for his
services in cleaning rats out of the
slaughter houses. Two celebrated rat
catchers, Shaw and Sabin, claimed that
each caught from 5000 to 10000 a
year. One of them had literary pre-
tensions, and wrote an amusing book
on the noble art Of rat-catchng. They
have many moles of catching them.
One to initiate the noise they make;
another to toll them into room with
fool. The methods of catching
them with farrets and terriers is well
known.
The multiplication of rats in these
far-off towns (they are not found in
the bush, though mice swarm there, J
is such as to incline one to Mr.. Walter
Besant's belief in Whittingtons cat.
Any sensible Islander would pay much
to be rid of such pests. was unwise
enough to bring wicker trunk, and
on the Pacific steamer the rats entered
it and devoured the nice soft part of
my boots. With their usual daintiness,
they preferred patent leather. In Ho-
bart was at Sunday supper in gen.
tleman's house, when suddenly the
ladies' began to climb on their chairs
in an astonishing way, and the young
mon to rush alb )ut with poker and
tongs. They had not thought it nee
essary to explain that rat had en-
tered the room, which was in the sec
ond story. 1t was not an uncommon
occurrence, and a gentleman said it
was one of his amusements to shoot
rats in his bathroom with pistol.
