Wedding Customs of the Season.

Wedding Customs of the Season.
No one so longs for good conversational
powers as the social aspirant That def
cheney in this respect can be improved by art
is admitted, anda clever writer on the sub
jcct gives a hint or two as to the conditions of
success. The essence of conversation, he says,
is versatility. To be successful talker must
be prepared to leap from one subject to an
other at "a moments warning.
From esoteric Buddhism to the divorce case
of the year, from the last farce to the
problem Of the unemployed, arc nothing to
the mental gymnastics at times necessary IN
society. The advantages Of a low voice ANA
an absence OF proymcialisas are hardly moro
apparent than n general, over special, lnowl-
edge.
Under the head of moral conditions, I'M
selfishncss and tact come in for praise which
few would grudge them, though it is odd
how many are 50 proud Of the last quality
that they never take the trouble 10 conceal L,

irritants, to be the conscious patient of tact
is the most cIasperating.
Shyness and modesty have berdcr measure

Intermittent, aud as for the latter, society
generally takes a man pretty much at his
own valuation. After all, if a thinks him

clever fellow, and says so often enough, it
saves lot of trouble to accept him as such.
The donkey in the lions skin was not found

A Chat About Canes.

Golden Days furnishes tho following enter
tanning items about canes, which are carried
nowadays by most men because it is the
fashion,
Originally a cane was branch Of a tree,
sometimes used as a club for defense, at other
times as a crutch.
The Mexicans first used canes in America
When the Spanish conquered tho country a
queer custom was introduced Tho chief ex-
ecutive of the town carried a stick with a
gold or silver head 1t was kind of scepter.
The cane Of early American history, like
that of biblical times, was part of tho repor-
tory of the leaders of the church II was the
principal badge of the deacon The cane was
about five feet long. One end was ombellished
with big lnob, the other with feathers.
When the small boy rebelled against the
straight back pew he got II rap on the head
with the uncharitable end of the cane. II
the head of the family got TO dreaming about
his old English home and tho cO2y iItJlc nest
in one of the shires, thu turkeys plumage on
the dcacon's cane feathered the sleeper into
life again.
The Irish have always been associated with
q blackthorn * of short and thick dmcn-
sions They used these queer little sidearms
in the invasions of the English kings and in
relirir wars

PHYSIOLOGY AND HYGIENE.
Teeth as Connected with Sound Nerves,
Good Looks and Personal Comfort.

The importance of n full set of sound teeth
ul the general health ii becoming moro APP
pr acatcd among all intelligent persons, and
the reasonableness Of present views on the
subject OF the care and preservation of the
teeth Is very clearly expressed rs follows by
a correspondent of Science News, who re-
CARDS them especially in their aspect OF con-
SENATORS of nerve force:
All force must be sustained and fed, and
we find that forco for nervous exortion can
only be sustained by food. The work Of tho
mind is nervous action, and is produced by
exertion or waste force. Every thought Is
nervous exertion: grief is nervous exertion;
10Y is nervous exertion; low spirits are
nervous excrtion. Whenever dependency
appears, or so called nervous disorder, it is
nothing else but the result of want of nour-
ishment noted physician asserts that
nervous diseases are the consequence Of con-
tinued waste of nervous action and incom-
plete nutrition, and require nothing but
judicious dietetic treatment All nervous dis
orders and SO called lunacy can be greatly
affected by diet. Healthy and judicious food
mods the character and nourishes the brain"
This feeding of the body, this strengthen
ing of the mind, is largely due TO complete
and perfect "denture," good set OF teeth,
the value of which may not be computed if
the work Of dividing and masticating the
food be considered only. But to this consid-
Grafton is to be added their Importance in
assisting articulation, In preserving tho
breath sweet and pure when inhaled into the
lungs, in giving proper symmetry to the
features Indeed, the mouth and teeth may
well be considered the most important of the
facial features.
Taste, speech, song, mastication and in
salvation, also the avenue for air in inhala-
ton and expiration, is the work performed
by the mouth; and the i'll or good health of
the teeth has much to do with each of these
important processes,
If the natural teeth become impaired or
destroyed, the dentist is called upon to mag
ically supply the loss or TO repair the waste.
Owing to the vast Importance to the health
of the patient, to his personal comfort and
to his personal appearance, more and more
importance is being attached TO the study
and practice of this branch of the healing
art The general tendency of the profession
is toward conservatism-in all cases TO try
to aid nature to repair the waste and pre-
serve the vitality Of the teeth, and to main
tain their usefulness

Ono who has suffered much from insomnia
has recently claimed to have found it an
elfectual remedy in his own case 10 hold his
breath after first taking a deep inspiration
until discomfort is felt; he then repeats the
process second and third time AS rule
this is enough to procure sleep A slight de-
gree of asphyxia is thus relied on as a soporitic
agent, but the theoretical correctness of the
method is somewhat open to question Ac-
cordng to medical authority, there Is
proof to show that tho daily expendi-
ture of oxygen is most active during
tho waking period and that nightly sleep
appears to coincide with period of
deficient tissue oxygenation. 1t is at least as
probable, however, that other influences arc
associated with the production and timely re-
currence of sleep besides that just referred
to. This plan, moreover, however elfcctual
and beneficial in the case of its author, is not
without its disadvantages The tendency of
deficient oxygenation is to increase blood
pressure and to slow the hearts action. With
a normal organ, as an occasional occurrence,
this might not be of much consequence. Ii,
however, tho impeded heart should also be
enfeebled by disease, the experiment might
DO repeated once too often.

Wedding Notes.

The custom of elaborate and costly gifts
from bride and groom to bridesmaids and
ushers is one that could never be termed pop
ular, and good form does not require it. The
groom may present his ushers with cravat
and gloves and the bride her maids with
some little souvenir, such as a simple lace pin,
while the groom furnishes the bridesmaids
bouquets for the occasion
Four bridesmaids is the fashionable num-
Der, when there are any at all There may
be more, but fewer is hardly in the best form.
The long and tiresome wedding journey Of
the past is by no means necessity of the pres
emit fashion. Many couples go straight TO their
future home, or withdraw 10 some quiet re-
sort, where they may enjoy their newly at
tanned happiness, free from th" gaSe Of
amused spectators.

st. Johns Day'. Eve.

St Johns day is thus observed at Revel-
10, Italy: Tho people on the eve Of st.
Johns day repeat their rosarics until mid
night and then look out, firmly believing
that they will see Herodias and her daughter
pass, riding on a fiery plank, the daughter
saying; Mother, why did you say itf and

Stylish Rings for Gentlemen.

Quite the most appropriate, in fact the only
way, in which man may wear diamonds
on the hand IS in the new serpent rings. The
body of tho serpent IS Of gold, delicately
chased and wound several times about the
finger In the brosd he,.d, lying uppermo5tt,
is sunk diamond OF var. ing dimensions.

A writer in The London Lancet tells that
at tho MiddlcSex hospital female patients who
have suffered many years from sick headache
evidently Of hereditary character, have been
greatly benefited, if not cured, by the admin
istration Of ten minim doses of tincture of

In some localities the pillow horses not only
wear hats to protect them from the heat, but
also huge aprons or pinafores for guard
against flies, rs the animals toll up and down
the hot fields
Although the transfers of the old country
are credited with taking better care of their
stock than do our own drivers, it ought to be
noted that of late years tho latter have be-
come more careful 1t is no longer unusual
to see. in our great cities, horses "bonneted''
from the sun, and covered with waterproof
blankets from the rains. During the preva-
lence of epizootic and other epidemcs among
horses, that are the result of cold damp
weather, not few of our working horses arc
provided with chest protectors.

A driver is careful not to let the rain beat
upon his horses head, or to expose the ami
mails head to the great heat of the sun. A
traveller relates that in Italy he saw man
rush into butchers shop during a sudden
storm to get a covering for his horses head,
and finding nothing else, he came out with a
lambskin, which he carefully adjusted so as
to shield the animal. In Fig. is shown a
waterproof hood that is much used abroad TO
protect horses from the rain.
In some parts of France, tells writer in
Little Men and Women, from which our cuts
are reproduced, there are tall horns on the
harnesses which support broad hats over the
horses heads in storm and in hot weather
In Italy it is quite common thing for the
drivers to jump down and "bonnet" or
"hood" their horses if rain storms begins.
