uAPANEsE MARRIAGES.
Tho Manner In which tho Mlkados Sub.

Jeot's are United,
The recent marriage in this city has
caused some discussion as to the mar
riago rites performed in tho native
land of the Jap. r. Shimoka, OF the
Japanese village OF the exposition,
gives tho following; The marriage Is
preceded by the ceremony OF bctrothal,
Mt which all the members OF the two
families are present. 1t often happens
that the two parties concerned then for
the first time are informed OF the in
tontion OF their parents with regard to
thcm. From this time the couple aro
allowed TO see each other on ovory OPP
portunity. Visits, invitations, presents,
preparations for furnishing their future
home, and the betrothcd are soon salts
fed with their approaching future.
The wedding generally takes place
when the bridegroom is over twenty
years old and tho bride in her scvon-
tccnth year or over. The morning OF
the appointed day the groom dresses
and the toilet articles of the bride are
carried to the bridegroom's house and
ceremony. Among the many decora-
tions the small table supports figures
representing long life, such MS the
stork and turtle, supposed to 1.-Two
longer than any other creatures. In

wife, clothed and yelled in white silk,

lowed by II crowd of relatives and
neighbors; also friends in full costume,
glittering in brocadod scarlet and en-
broidery. Then two bridemaids 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, ar
range the guests, and flutter from one
place to another to see that all are
made comfortable. 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 u
metal vase which is furnished with two
spouts and elegantly adorned with ar
tiiicial flowers. At given signal one
OF the bridcmaids fills the vase with
"shake," a queer liquid poured into
the saucer. The bride drinks one-half
of the liquid and the Bridegroom drinks
the other half. After this everybody
is invited to the dining-room, where
the "best man. sings the happy song
and serves out the great dinner to all.

USEFUL AND SUGGESTIVE.

--Copporas mixed with tho whito
wash put upon tho cellar walls will
keep vcrmin away.
Whom broiling steak throw little
salt on tho Goals and tho blaze from
dripping fat will not annoy.
To clarity sirup. mix thoroughly
the white Of an egg with tho dry sugar
in tho kettle and pour over it boiling
water and all impurities will immcdi-
ately rise.
To work button-holos in n garment
which trays badly, take glue with a
smooth and rather thick edge, dip
slightly in hot water and pass lightly
over the goods before cutting.
--Copal varnish applied to solos of
shoes and repeated while drying until
the pores shall have been filed and
tho surface shall shine like polished
mahogany will make tho solos water
proof and last as long MS the uppcrs.
Rubber rings such as are used on
fruit cans often become hard and brit
tie. They can be restored by letting
them lie in water in which you have
put little ammonia. Mix in this pro-
portion: One part ammonia and two
parts water. Sometimes they do not
need to lie in this more than five min
utes, but frequently half hour is need
cd TO restore their elasticity.
--Zcphyrs. Make quantity of puff
paste by the recipe that may be found
in any good cookery book; divide this
in half and roll each into n very thin
sheet. Spread one with strawberry
or raspberry jam, and cover it with
the other. Bake in quick oven about
fifteen minutes; let them remain in tho
pan in which they were baked until
cold. Then with sharp knife cut
them in small squares and arrange
them on dish.
-Blackberrics, huckleborries and
green cages are all cooked with the
same proportion of sugar, and put in
the jars boiling hot. Tho large culti-
waited blackberry is much better for
canning than that growing wild.
Blackberries must not do much more
than boil up once or twice, and should
be taken up when almost solid. They
will then retain rich, spicy flavor.
which is destroyed by much cooking.
Plums should be cooked somewhat
longer, until they are mashed and soft.
They will not look so well, but will
taste better. - Good Housekeeping.
There is no doubt in the world
that thoroughly clean kitchen is ono
of the hcalthicst and checriest places
to be found. Every house ought to be
clean from cellar to roof, but the kitch-
en- should be particularly so. 1t is the
place where the food that is to main
tain the human body is prepared and
served. Any dust or cobwebs or vile
odors about the kitchen are sure to get
into tho food, and so help to poison
the human victims fed thereby. But
the breath of kitchen fire and of
healthy cooking are us invigorating rs
any thing short of an ocean breeze.
