Life of Il Gun.

There is peculiar idea in the COM
| munity, says the Commercial BlH 'etin,
that gun will last for an indefinite
period, and no doubt the statement
that the big gun at Sandy Hook has q
great record because it was fired 1871
times, will strike people as extra
ordinary. Yet again, like any other Of
mans handwork, it can only do GER
tain amount of work, and, when the
enormous shocks and pressure which a
gun is compelled to stand is cons idered,
the amount of work it rea ly does is
surprising. During the civil war the
limit OF work of tifteen-inch gun was
considered reached when 1000 rounds
had been fired. and this, too, when the
charge was only fifty pounds of powder
and 450-pound proiectile. In Europe,
the Krupp guns are bursting and be-
coming useles all the time, and the
principle of the construction OF the gun
or the material of the gun is not neces-
sarily condemned. Recently an En-
glish steel gun as large as the gun at
Sandy Hook, on the steamer Co.ling-
wood, burst after firing three rounds,
and the government has prohibited TIC
firing OF the vessels other guns unla.s
actually attacked bv an enemy.

We Appeal 10 Experience.

For Il long time steadily refused to pub
fish testimonials, believing that, in the opinion
Of the public generally, the great majority
wore manufactured to order by unprincipled
parties as a means of disposins of their worth
less preparations.
That this view of the case is to u certain ey.
tent true, there can be no doubt.
At last, several years ago, we came to the
conclusion that every intelligent person can
readily discriminate between spurious and
bona ide testimonials, and determined to use
As advertisements a few of the many huL-
dreds Of unsolicited certificates in our possess
sion.
In doing this, we published them "a nearly as
possible i'll the exact language used by our cor
respondents, only changing the phraseology, in
some cases, so as to compress them into {,
smaller space than they would otherwise
occupy, bnt without in the least exaggera Ing
or destroying the meaning of the writers.
We are glad to say that our tinuS cone fusion
was d correct one-that Il letter recommend
ing an article having true merit finds favor
with the people.
The original of every testimonial published
by us Is on file in our Office, an inspection of
which will prove to the most skeptcal that our
assertion made above, that only the facts are
given as they appear therein. is true.
But as 1t would be very inconNeniont, if not
impossible, for all of our friends to call on us
Tor that purpose we invite those who doubt Gf
parties whose names arc signed to our testi-
monia!s, and ask them if we have made any
MSS tcnentS, so far as their knowledge eX-
lends in this article. In other words, if we
have not published their letters as nearly YER
batim as possible.

JAPANESE MARRIAGES.

louisville Commercially

Louisville Commercial
The recent japanese marriage in this
city has caused some discussion as to the
marriage rites performed in the native
land OF the Jap. T. Shimoks, OF the
Japanese Village at the Exposition, gives
the following: The marriage is preceded
by the ceremony of betrothal, at which
all the members of the two families are
present. IL eften happens that the
parties concerned then for the first time
are informed of the intentions OF their
parents with regard to them. From this
time the couple are allowed to see each
other on every opportunity. Visits, IN.
vitatIons, presents. preparations Tor fur-
nishing their future home, and the
betrothed are soon satisfied with their
approaching future. The wedding gen.
orally takes place when the bridegroom is
over twenty years old, and the bride in
her seventeenth year or over. The morn
ing of the appointed day the groom
dresses, and the toilet articles OF the
bride are carried to the bridegroom's
house and arranged in the room appointed
for the ceremony. Among many decora-
tions the small table supports figures
representing long life, such as the stork
and turtle, supposed to live longer than
any other creatures, Ia the evening q
splendid procession enters the hall,
headed by the young wife, clothed and
yelled in white silk. escorted by two
bridesmaids, and followed by crowd OF
relatives and peighbcrs; also friends in
full costume, all glittering with brocaded
scarlet and embroidery. The two brides
maids and two or three young girls, who
are the friends of the bride, volunteer
for the service, wearing the same costume
perform the honors of the house, arrange
the guests, and hutter from one place to
another to see that all are made comfor-
table. Among the objects displayed in
the middle of the circle of guests there
is a deep saucer of soft ware made for the
occasion. 1t has a metal vase which is
furnished with two spouts and elegantly
adorned with artificial flowers. At given
signal one of the bridesmaids fills the
vase with "shake, queer liquid poured
into the saucer. The bride drinks one
half OF the liquid. and the bridegroom
drinks the other half After this every
body is invited to the dining.room, where
the "oest man" sings the happy song and
serves out the great dinner to all. With
the xception of certain Buddhist sects and
Christians, priest or clergyman never
takes part in the celebration. The per-
son known as the 'best man" acts as
priest and performs the marriage cere-
mony. The next day after the marriage
follows a festival given by the police
officer who has given permission for the
nuptials. He then places the newly.
married couple on his list.

Returning the train was literally jammed
with tired humanity. One couple, who
are nearing the portals of matrimony, re-
posed peacefully, each in the arms of the
other; and gentleman from Audubon
was so cruel as to ask Dave Singles to put
them off the train, but Dave smole a COM
