Rice Throwing at Weddings,

Asf'NtbpW
Opinions differ among the learned as to
why rice, OF all things, is thrown at 1.-TWO
young lovers lately we'd" Some regard
it as a feigned hostile attack, in which
light they also regard the throwing OF old
shoes. But there is evidence to show that
old shoes are thrown on other occasions,
merely for ''lucK." and where there is no
survival OF an attack. Thus it is recorded
in "Great Expectations'' that Joe and
Biddy threw an old shoe after Pip when
be left them to seek his fortune. AS to
rce-throwing, again, the custom cannot
be earlier than the use of rice in this
country. Now the author of French
work on ''rhe Kingdom of Macassar,"
published at the end of the seventeenth
century. found that rice was thrown out
OF the back windows OF the house all day
during marriage in Macassar. The
bride and bridegroom were not pelted;
the object was to distract the attention OF
the enviOus evil spirits. Left to their
own devices, the evil spirits might have
PLAYED all sorts Of practical jokes, might
have carried the bridegroom of bodily to
the chamber OF the Princess of Persia,
or conveyed the bride to the arms OF the
Prince Of Bagdad, or Of a humpbacked
groom. How the rice affected the demons
is not very Obvious. An acute observer
has divided the practices OF savage relg.
ion into "spirit-scarine" and spirit
squaring.v Were the Macassar bogies
scared or squared, frightened or bribed,
by the showers OF rice? That is a aues-
liOn for Mr.. Herbert Spencer; but either
hypOthesis is more plausible than the con-
mon idea that rice is an emblem of fruit
fulness, and secures an abundant crop OF
olive branches.
symbols and ceremonies are apt TO
glide into realities, and realities into
symbols. The symbolic rice in Bethnal
Green was lately thrown with such hearty
good will that it nearly put out the eve of
one OF the bridegrOOms. Perhaps
this well-directed and CALLING fire Of
rice was kept up by an unsuccess-
ful rival, who may be congratulated on
the ingenuity Of a device which has
hitherto escaped even the villain OF fic.
ton. IL must become plain, however,
even In the parish OF st. James the Less,
tDat friendly congratulations may be
better expressed than by shower Of
DANGEROUS missiles. We are sorry to
harass and trade; but surely the local
grocers may ask themselves whether it is
we'll TO keep parcels OF rice ready packed
for the occasion" as they do at present.
Distress is already prevalent enough at
the East End; it cannot be mitigated by
encouraging weddings among amorsts
who are unable or unwilling even TO pay
the entrance fees. Possibly the rice
throwing has local explanation. 1t may
be intended TO counteract the well-meant
Kindness Of the vicar, and TO discourage
thos3 when his expansive generosity al
lures Into marriages OF imprOyidence.

NOT Az EARTHouAKE.
The Scare on the Jersey Coast Caused
by Gun Drill on the JIuiata.

From, TIE Ne,O York Hsydid.
The i0liiest lot of fellows within IA
dius of a hundred miles of the port of New
York yesterday morning were the officers
and crew OF the United States sloop OF
war Juniata, Lieutenant Commander W.
T. Burwel commanding.
They had Just returned to their anchor
age of Staten Island after a few days
practice cruise. and one of the officers got
hold OF some of the morning papers.
Here is the biggest JOKE OF the season,
he suddenly exclaimed. "BOvs, we've got
square with the fellows ashOre-th0se
lubDers that always have so much to say
about our good for nothing ships
What is upy What is the matter
nowp asked a dozen voices.
Nothing is up, only We nave shaken
them up. Look at the papers. They've
got an earthquake night before last, a
genuine earthquake. Read these tele-
grams from SANDY Hook aud sbury PARK,
and all along the Jersey coast. Good for
the old shin. I'd Just like TO give them
another earthquake"
Every officer and man on board the
Junia,a was in less than ten minutes full
OF smiles.
Laer in the dav reporter had a talk
with one OF the officers. 81 think it Is the
greatest joke on the Jerseymen | ever
heard" said be. I'VE made the earth
quake. We had been drilling for a few
days outside. and shortly before midnight
on Friday the men were called TO quarters
with powder and shell. We were then
midway between Neversink Light and
Long Beach, about seven miles southeast
OF sandy Hook Lightship. The navy regu-
latlOus require tDat the men shall be
called to quarters at least once in three
months. and the Juniata, after having
been reftted, had just received a fresh
supply Of powder and shell. No ship be-
ing near, the commanding officer thought
best of giving the boys some practice"
But the earthquake telegrams speak
OF the shake having occurred several min
utes after midnight" the reporter sug-
gested.
That is right. The Juniata is a great
roller, and the guns could not be dis
charged just at the minute. But we
biazed away shortly after, say few min
utes later"
"How many shots did you firet'
Now, remember, there was Just enough
moisture in the atmosphere to transmit
the sound. The conclusion yOI read
about was caused by the sound wave.
The first shots were from an eight-ineh
rified gun and from a siXty-pOunder. |
These We're fred together. Next two
nine-inch guns went off simultaneously. !
The third and last firing was from nine
Inch gun. That shot was enough to set
tie the Jerseymen. 1t was a very still
night, the wafer was very calm, and there
was just a slight breeze. We used she'll,
which helped to complete the Illusion"
In the evening the reporter met one of
the petty officers Of the Juniata, who was
very gleeful at having been instrumental
in making an earthquake to order. "a
days ago, only, we went to Ellis Island TO
get our ammunition" said he. ''She is
ready now for all sorts of work, notwith-
standing she is % years old, and if we
can make a racket like this at home we
won't be much afraid wherever she may
be sent to-
