Notes Concerning Brldemaids.

Instood Of being 40 aaauJ s4aulfal
ornaments at the marriage ceremony,
as nowadays, the bridemaids in olIen
times had various duties assigned to
them. Thus one of the principle tasks
was dressing the bride on her wedding
morning, when any omission in her
toilet was laid to their charge. At a
wedding too, where 1t was arranged
that the bride should be followed by a
numerous train of her lady friends, it
was the first trademarks duty to play
the part of a drill mistress, IS sizing
them so that ''nO paIr in the procession
were followed by a taller couple" She
was also expected to see that each
bridemaid was not only provided with q
sprig OF rosemary, or a floral posy
pinned to the breasttolds Of her dress,
but had a symbolioal chaplet in her
hand In many parts of Germany it is
still. customary for the bridemaids to
bring the myrtle wreath, which they
have subscribed together to purchase
on the nuptial eve, to the house of the
bride, and to remove il from her head at
the close of the wedding day. After
this had been done, the bride is blind
folded, and the myrtle wreath beng
put INTO her hand she tries to place it
on the head of one of her bridemaids
as they dance around her; for, in ac-
cOrdance with an old belief, whoever
she crowns Is sure to be married within
a year from that date. As may be
imagined this cermony IS tine source of
no small excitement, each brdemaid
being naturally anxious to follow the
example of the bride. r ,ferriug once
more to the bridal wreath ana chaplet,
it is still a current notion in many parts
of our own country that the bride in
re owing these must take special care
that her trademarks throw away every
pin. Not only is it affirmed that mis-
fortune will oyertake the bride who
retains even one pin used in her mar.

ABOUT India.

\ traveller III India says the account
made by the oldest and best Informed
of my native acquaintance land | am
not talking here of Bengal demagogues,
but of men holding it may be OIL who
have held high office under Government
and deservedly trusted by it, of the
gradual arrangement which has come
about within their recollection between
themselves and the English in India, is
most instructive. In the days, they
say, OF their youth, 30and 40 years ago,
though there were always among the
oompapy's officers men VINO from their
abuse of power weredislike1 and just
ly feared, the general fealing Of the VA
tiyes toward the English civilian was
one of respect and even of affection.
The Indian character is affectionate,
is enthusiastic, and inclined to hero
worship; and the English in early days,
from their superior knowledge and
strength of character, exercised no
little fascination on the native mind.
Nearly all of the older men talk with
| reverence and esteem of certain teach
| ers who instructed them in youth, and
| of certain early patrons to whom they
| owed their success in after life and
they willingly acknowledge the Intlu-
ence exercised over themselves and
| their generation by such individual eX-
ample. The English official Of that
| day, they affirm, had more power than
now, but he exercised it with a greater
/ responsibility, and so Of honor in its
discharge. He took pains to know the
| people, and, in fact, he knewthem well.
| Except in the very highest ranks Of the
service he was readily accessible. He
lived to a great extent among the peo-
pie and according to the customs of
| the people. He did not disdain to make
friends with those of the better class,
and occasionally he married among
| them, or at least contracted semi-matrl-
moniaI relations with the ome of the
land. This may have had its i'll conse-
quences in other ways, but 1t broke
down the hedge of caste prejudice
between East and West, and gave the
official a personal interest in the people,
which no mere sense of duty, however
elevated, could supply. The English
nan of that day looked upon India not
unfrequently as his second home, and
taking the evil with tie good, treated 1t
as such. England could only be reach
ed by the Cape route. Travelling was
tedious and expensive, the mails few
and far between, and many a retired
officer had at the end Of his service be-
come so welded to the land of hlsadop'
ton that he ended his days in it in pref
erence to a new expatriation. 1t is
easy to understand from this that the
Anglo-Indian official of the cOmpany's
days loved India in a way that no
Queens official dreams of doing now.
Also that, loving it, he served 1t better
than now, and was better loved In re-
turn

Family Love.

If there is anything which make life
worth the living 1t Is to be one of an
aflectionate family. Strange to say,
however, most people could really
count up the really nice families they
know-the family, that is, in which
there is not only a tender care for each
other, but an unselfsh department and
a kindly interest always manifested by
every member of the home circle tow
ard every other fellow member. The
daughters will always fetch their
mothers anything she may want, and
brush their brothers top coats and hats
for them ere the male members Of the
house start off for their work in the
morning. The lads, TOO, will often
take their sisters for a walk, ca pay
them little attentions which cost
nothing and mean a great deal. This
is the household INTO which a young
man who wants a good wife will do
well and wisely TO marry. There may
not be much show about the girls, but
he will find they are affectiOnate, and
their dispositions stand the test OF wear
1t is easy enough to fall in love with a
girl when she is arrayed for a party, she
feels the flush and pleasure Of the fun.
Wien life deepens and darkens, how
ever, and little family worries come in,
a man wants something more than a
pretty drawing-room ornament fox q
wife; he needs a real, goo l,hearted,
honest womanly soul and helpmate.
