OLD NOTIONS CONCERNING
BRIDESMAIDS.

Instead of being SO many graceful Or
naments at the marriage ceremony, as
nowadays, the bridesmaids in olden
times had various duties assigned to
them. Thus one of the principal tasks
was dressing the bride on her wedding
morning, when any omission in her
toilet was laid to their charge. At
wedding, too, where it was arranged
that the bride should be followed by
numerous train of lady friends, it was
the first bridesmaids duty to play the
part of drill master, ''sizingn them so
that mo pair in the procession were
followed by a taller couple She was
also expected to see that each brides
maid was not only duly provided with
sprig of rosemary, or a floral posy,
pinned to the breastfolds of her dress,
but had asymbolic chaplet in her hand.
In many parts of Germany it is still
customary for the bridesmaids 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 it from her head at the
close of the wedding day. After this
has been done, the bride is blindfolded,
and the myrtle wreath being put in her
hand she tries to place it on the head
of one of her bridesmaids as they dance
around her; for, in accordance with an
old belief, whoever she crowns is sure
to be married within year from date.
AS may be imagined this ceremony is
the source of no small excitement, each
bridesmaid being naturally anxious to
follow the example of the bride. Re-
ferring once more to the bridal wreath
and chaplet, it is still current notion
in many parts of our own country that
these must take special care that her
bridesmaid throw away every pin.
Not only is it affirmed that misfortunes
will overtake the bride who retains
even one pin used in her marriage
toilet, but woe also the bridesmaids if
they keep any of them, as their pros
poets of marriage will be materially
lessened

WHAT is A GENTLEMAN?

What is gentleman? Is it thing
Decked with scarfpin, chain and ring,
Dressed in suit of immaculate style,
sporting an eyeglass, a lisp and smile?
Talking of operas, concerts and balls
Evening assemblies and afternoon calls.
Summing himself at "At Homes and bazaars,
Whistlng mazurkas and smoking cigars?
What is gentleman? Say, is it one
Boasting of conquests and deeds he has done?
One who unblushingly glores to speak
Things which should call up flush to his cheek?
One, who, whilst railing at actions unjust,
RODS some young heart of its pureness and trust;
Scorns to steal money, or jewels, Or wealth,
Thinks 1t no crime to take honor by stealth?
What is gentleman? Is it not one
knowing instinctively what he should shun,
Speaking no word that can injure or pain,
Spreading no scandal and deep'ning no stain?
One who knows how to put each at his ease,
Striving instinctively always to please;
One who can tell by glance at your cheek,
When to be silent and when he should speak?
What is gentleman? Is it not one
Honestly eating the bread he has won,
Living in uprightness, fearing his God,
Leaving no stain on the path he has trod,
Caring not whether his coat may be old,
Prizing sincerity far above gold,
Recking not whether his hand may be hard,
Stretching it boldly to grasp its reward?
What is gentleman? Say, is it birth
Makes man noble, or adds to his worth?
Is there family tree to be had
Spreading enough to conceal what is bad?
Seek out the man who has God for his guide,
Nothing to blush for and nothing to hide;
Be he noble or be he in trade,
This is the gentleman Nature has made.

The Trouble Caused Patient by a Ply

Some years ago (of course such
thing could not happen now a gentle
man residing at the South End, in Bos-

among other ingredients the following:

Origin Of a Slang Term.

One who has studied up says that the
word ..snide," which has come into
general use, like many slang words,
means more than the nearest English
word in its meaning. There is the
.snod,' from the provincial English,
which means s.sly, cunning" and is
derived from the word '.snood," used
in fishing tackle and in the way artful
Young misses tie up their hair so as to
tie the young mans heart within.
The word ''schnide, from Pennsylva-
MIA Dutch. means the cut as applied to
a tailor, who is called schneider" /"
and probably cuts the cloth too short
..Snide" is now applied to almost ev-
erything manufactured which is under
quality. A '.snide" buggy is one
loosely-constructed and painted up to
look well, but out of which the spoke
will fly driving round the turns. A
..snide' piano is one which has we'll
vanished case and brass tixings, but
with a harp like that in Tara's halls,
and which will soon be mute.-Iroy

The Frozen Wonders Of Siberia.

"When / was in Siberia, said Cap
tain Furskins, sit was so burned cold
that your breath would freeze and drop
in Jumps to the ground. But we had
lots Of fun. There were plenty OF jack
rabbits and other game, but it was
most too cold to handle gun. So on
a clear moonlight night we would set a
couple of big headlight lanterns on the
glistening snow, way out on the steppes,
and just wait for developments. The
rabbits would be attracted by the in
tense light, which was reflected for a
great distance over the snow crust, and
would all gather in circle around the
lamps in mute astonishment at the Tree
picnic they were having. BY and by
their eyes would begin to water from
the intensity of the light, and as drop
after drop rolled down it formed an
icicle from the ground up, which finally
froze solid to the eye-balls and there
we had 'em. Next morning all you
had to do was to take 'em by the tail
and break 'em off the icicles. Mis-

A little older every day,
little nearer to the close;
Nearer the ending of the fray,
Nearer the long repose.
Nearer the time when DER our head
Shall spring the blossom and the grass,
And friends will murmur: .."He is dead"
AS by our tomb they pass.
Nearer the time when we shall cast
An anchor by the mystic shore;
