A Parsee Wedding.

Among the high-caste Hindoos a senti.
ment is now growing up against infant
marriages, and there is one society. the
members of which will not marry their
girls before they are fourteen. 1t must be
remembered, however, that the Hi1doo
women do not by any means make up the
total female population of India. India
has more Mohammedans than Turkey, and
the three hundred and tifty-three millions
of people who make up this Indian popu.
lation are of many classes and religions.
The Parsees, who are so noted as mer.
chants, are Persian fire worshipers, and
they do not marry their children under
twelve. | attended Parsee marriage in
which the bride and groom were respect
lively twelve and thirteen. The two were
sitting in Parsee temple with their
hands Joined together. They had been
sitting in this position for two hours when
| entered, and the father of the bride, a
tall Parsee merchant in black satin coal
scuttle hat, and black preacher-like clothes,
tenderly rubbed the girls arm to rest ii
from its tired position. The Parsees do
not lead secluded lives. Their women
dress gayly and they go about where they
please. This girl was beautifully dressed,
and the groom had on high hat with the
rim cut of, but which was of red silk, lit
orally covered with pearls and diamonds.
As We entered the room richly-dressed
boys rushed up to us and put into our
hand bouquets of orange flowers and roses,
while servants sprayed over us, from silver
bottles two feet long, shower of rose
water. After watching the ceremony for
some time, We rose to depart, and were
then given each two cocoanuts and little
lunches of betel for chewing and we'd
ding presents.-Frank G. Carpenter u,

The Inexperienced Policeman.

1t is the policeman's unhappy lot to be
in every city the butt of ridicule. The
Denver NeUS relates the following: A
very funny incident occurred out IN the
neighborhood of Downing avenue and
Welton street few days ago. A gentle
man discovered mounted officer looking
curiously about. "Just go down block"
said the citizen, politely, "and you will
come to the Welton cable line; follow the
work along until you come to Sixteenth,
when you can get your bearings and find
the City Hail." "But Pm not lost,:.sir-
Pm policeman" replied the bewildered
officer. 81 thought you were stranger
and had got tangled up in these streets.
You're the first policeman | ever saw
here" and touching his hat he left the
officer wondering if the citizen really de-
sired to assist him or was enjoying a joke
at the expense of the police department.
But, after all, if his visits are like those of
angels, few and far between, they are often
much like angels in other respects, and we
could hardly get along without him.

" SparroM-Grassm

In Webster's Dictionary, under the word
asparagus" this note occurs:
This word was formerly pronounced
spdrro0-grasS;; but this pronunciation is
now confined exclusively to uneducated
people"
Walkers English Dictionary quotes an
thorlty to show that not only was aspara-
gus commonly called "sparrow-grass" in
England, even by educated persons, at the
beginning of this century, but CUCUMBER
was pronounced cowcumber." These two
pronunciation passed out of use both in
England and America, until now few people
use them.
The marketmen in the great cities and
their environs, however, still cling tena-
ciously to sparrow grass" which they
shorten up to grass" as matter of con-
venience.
:" Is that nice asparagus ?" a customer
asks.
Yes, that's very good grass" answers
the marketman, with an emphasis on the
grass, as if to notify his customer that
he knows what the vegetable is properly
called, and in his next bill the marketman
puts down this charge.
Four punches grass a 15c.....................60 Gee
For the pronunciation cowcumber"
there is some excuse, as the word comes
to US through the French, in which lam
guage it. was formerly coucumbre. and is
now concombre. The German word k,lk7lp,
ner was dropped in English for the French
one, the English deriving nearly all their
words for salads and the nicer table dishes
from the French.
But for the word sparrow-grass," as ap-
piled to asparagus, there is absolutely no
excuse. 1t is sheer corruption of the
word asparagus. The sparrows are not
particularly fond of the seeds of the
ripened asparagus, nor is it grass in any
sense.
The asparagus, indeed, belongs to the
lily family, like certain other edible vege-
tables. 1t is certainly no new discovery,
for the word is Greek, and means, accord
ing to some entomologists, "to swell with
sap or juice" and asparagus was eaten
and much esteemed by the Romans
Youths Companion.

now, have learnt to initiate his hand
writing pretty well. Now, sir, may ask
what you are going to do with me ?"
That was precisely what Robert Nor
gan did not know. Doubtless this man
was scoundrel; yet i. is not forbidden
to feel certain pity for scoundrels, and
certain repugnance to sending them
into penal servitude. After rejecting for
some moments, he said:
Well, Mr.. Hardy, you have defrauded
me of my property for considerable
number of years; but it has to be taken
into consideration that you were ignor-
ant of my existence. However, you have
certainly been guilty of forgery; so that
if | were to let you go free, presume l
should be compromising felony. l am
afraid, therefore, that | must hand you
over to the police tomorrow. For to-
night you will occupy your own room,
and | myself shall walk round and round
the house until daybreak to prevent your
escaping through the window"
Even without the significant look which
accompanied these words, the hint would
have been sufficiently obvious. Hardy
laughed a little, and said: "Thank you,
sir, thank you"
Then the two men returned to the house
and Mr.. Robert Morgan spent the night
not only without sleep, but in manner
which he felt to be excessively provoking
and disappointing.
"Hang the fellowr' he muttered, when
at length the sun rose, zone would have
thought that he had more pluck in him."
There was now, of course, nothing for it
but to summon the police but after they
had arrived, and the room which for so
long had been supposed to be tenanted by
the invisible Mr.. Morgan had been en-
tered, it turned out that the late Secretary
had effected his escape after all. Only a
dead body was found lying on the bed,
and beside it an empty bottle, which may
have been held in readiness for one of the
many emergencies which the harassed
man must have contemplated in his leisure
moments.-Courier-Jo Journal.

Where Cars Are Run With Sails

was looking at some models in the Ma
tional Museum of curious cars used in the
early days of railroading in this country.
when Mr. Watkins, the curator, pointed
out one particular one that had mast and
sail. Experiments with such cars were
made on the Baltimore and Ohio and on
the South Carolina road 1t was then
serious question whether the motive power
on railroads would be sail, horse or steam.
The steam locomotive was still looked
upon as an experiment. Sail cars are used
to-day on guano railroad on the island of
Maiden, in the South Pacific They are,
in fact, used nearer home than that, for
railroad men at Barnegat Beach, when the
wind is favorable, frequently ride over the
road on construction cars-sloop-rigged.
" The wind has good deal to do with rail-
reading even to-day" Mr.. Watkins said
If you go to the bureau of intelligence at
the Broad street station, Philadelphia, and
ask whether some train, say from New
York, is likely to be on time, you may be
informed that it is likely to be four or FIVE
minutes late, because there is strong
wind from the west Winds make eonsid-
cradle difference in the running time of
trains. - Philadelphia Telegraph.

FACTS ABOUT INSOMNIA.
Those Who Always Practice Punctualit
and Those Who Do Not.

Are you afflicted with insomnia? Per-
haps you depend too much on sleep for
rest and recuperation. For sleep is not
the sole rest of used-up nerves. Sociabil-
ity, congeniality and the enjoyment of good
company rest the body quite as much as
sleep. The dreary monotony of life in
many household, involving this tumb-
ling into bed with mechanical regularity
of machine at or 10 o'clock in the
evening, does not always rest weary bodies.
Early to bed and early to rise" does not
always make man healthy, wealthy or
wise. Numbers of organizations are only
capable of five or six hours sleep at time,
and their early lying down to rest is often
succeeded by an early waking up and a
consequent restless tossing for hours pre-
ceding daybreak.
The practicers of ,punctuality are often
surprised after breaking their own cast
iron rules, and passing two or three later
hours of mirth and jollIty past their usual
bedtime to find themselves even more re-

| him again. Only the boat ffoated back,
bottom upwards. Well, you can guess the
rest. 1t was great opportunity for a
penniless man, and the circumstances
were all in my favor We were travelling
in the United States like couple of
friends at the hotel nobody knew which
of us was which, and when returned as
Mr.. Morgan, and said that my companion

wasn't worth while-although it seemed
to be worth while"
"What don't understand" observed
Robert Morgan, after an interval of silence,
"is how you managed to deceive every
| body here"
"Oh, that was not difficult. As soon as
| l reached England | went down to Vain
thorpe and told the servants that Mr.. Nor

but that, as he strongly objected to being
seen, they were to keep out of the way

which he proposed to occupy. The next
evening, after dark, | appeared, satisfied
myself that they were all safely out of

that he was in his room, and that dinner
was to be brought up and left outside the
