ABuddhSst Marriage.

a. missionary describes marriage
ceremony which he Witnessed in the
palace Of the Governor of Cambodia, as
follows:
/ Il was ushered, amid tremendous
din Of gongs, into large room beyond
the reception hall, where were seated
the Governor and about 100 noblemen
and invited guests. The bridegroom, a
young man about 90 years of age,
elegantly attired in silk garments, was
also there. By the time we foreigners
were seated, procession headed by
the bride, supported on either side by
demure looking matrons, composed
principally of aged or married women,
all elegantly attired entered and
slowly marched toward the Governor.
"The bride was not particularly in
teresting as regards personal charms;
she was young, however, and dressed
richly and in good taste. Besides her
silk dress she wore gold embroidered
scarf upon her shoulders; also gold
rings upon her fingers, bracelets upon
her wrists and armlets above the
elbows. The bride took up her posi-
tion near the bridegroom, both sitting
upon the floor, but not looking toward
each other; in fact, throughout the en-
tire ceremony they both were perfectly
impassive and nonchalant.
"The marriage ceremony proper now
began. A number of wax candles we're
brought in salver, and then lighted by
one of the mobiles. The silver waiter
was then passed round before the COM
pany eight times, each one in turn
saluting the couple and wishing them
good fortune by waving or blowing the
smoke toward them, thus expressing
something like the old English custom
of throwing the slipper after a newly
married couple-the bend of string
instruments playing the meanwhile.
Two large velvet cushions having
been previously placed before the bride
and bridegroom. and upon. them a
large sword, the leader of the theatric-
ais now came forward and went
through, for few moments, a most
fantastical sword exercise.
Dishes had been placed before the
couple upon the floor, with covers upon
them. Nothing, however, was eaten.
Next the hands of the expectant couple
were bound together, and to each other,
with silken threads, by the women
attendants, probably some near rela-
tives. Thus we're they truly joined in
Buddhist wedlock. And this COM
pleted the simple, yet effective cere-
mony.

Passage of the silver Bin,

The vote for the bill in the House was
l22, and that against 1t 80. All who were
for ii were Republicans, and all who
were opposed to it were Democrats. 1t
doubtless had the private approval of a
few Congressman of the mirority, who
were against free coinage, but they did
not have courage enough to antagonize
their party openly, and so did not vote at
all or voted in the negative The great
mass Of the Democratic members were
in favor of free coinage. They wanted
the minis thrown open to the silver not
merely Of the United States but of the
whole world They also wanted the
Government to pay for the bullion it
bought-not its market value, but its
nominal value when coined. They wished
every silver Speculation all over the world
to be allowed to get an ounce OF Ameri-
can gold for every sixteen ounces Of for
eign silver he delivered. They wanted to
Danish gold from circulation and make
silver the only hard money Of this coun-
try. These Democratic ideas d d rot
carry the day, and the bill as it stands,
passed by Republican votes alone in both
houses, is purely Republican piece Of
legislation. and that party must be cred
tied with whatever good results ensue. -

A Human Microscope.

John Thomas Helsop of Birmingham,
England, is q lad whose powers Of
vision are marvellous. He is known as
"the living microscope, ON account of
being able to see the most minute OBJ
jects clearly defined. In 1873 or 1879
he was attacked with some battling eye
trouble and came very near losing his
sight forever. After tine disease had
reached its worst there was an instant
and startling change for the better,
which resulted In complete cure of all
trouble in an incredibly short time It
was not a cure, however, that brought
back the old eyesight like that pos
sessed by the ordinary genus homo.
When it returned it was with extraor-
binary, increased powers of vision. To
John Thomas the most minute plant
louise was large as rabbit, and the
mosquitoes bill was as large as an AK
handle. He could see and describe
minute objects with startling clearness
and precision. He was amazingly
shocked upon repairing to the we'll to
see the immense number of hideous
creatures that were floating, fighting
and wriggling about in the water.
From that day to this water has never
passed the lips of John Thomas Helsop.
His drink consists of coffee, tea and
milk, thoroughly boiled. The doctors
say that the entire organization of the
eye has undergone structural change
and that the cornea has become abb
normally enlarged.

A Girls Deep Nature.

Miss Winnie Davis, daughter of the
late Jefferson Davis, writing from Paris
to her mother, thus gives All insight
into deep and pathetic nature:
"The society of ordinary people is
very tiresome to me. I think YOU and
our darling have spoiled me for the lit
tie talk and aims of the world. Some
how it is all talk and no conversation. I
remember how we used to discuss the
things that were worth thinking about
things and thoughts that would help
me to live better and think higher; but
/ do not find that atmosphere of pure
thinking and living out in society. Do
you suppose that political expediency
has permeated all the inner world of
ideas, or that we are really fallen into a
decadence? I hate to believe that.
Perhaps it is only the old order giving
place to a new, and before the socialism
of the next century the overdeveloped
individualism and selfshness is neces-
sary to make smooth the road for new
political gospel. 1t cannot be healthy
developement when the poor are starv-
ing at every street corner and the lux
ury of the rich is eating into their lives,
until the family relation, and with it ali
spirituality, is crushed out by pure
force or unbridled excess of comfort.
at may be part of that Puritanism
of which you accuse me, but do not
think it half as easy to lead high life
in the midst of such luxury and comfort
as is invited in the modern interior as
it was in the old-fashioned houses where
the bible was the chief ornament of the
parlor; not that mean to say that orna-
mentation is exactly evil or that simpli-
city is alone necessary, or luxury and
religion antagonistic; only somehow one
grows to put false values on things, and
to be bound by wants of the body. The
soul gathers spiritual dust as the brio
a-brac does the actual dust. The fact
is am just in the frame of mind to see
more heroic sacrifice in the life of Daniel
than in that of st. John. I do not
wonder the great prophet went up three
times day to pray toward Jerusalem.
He must have been glad to leave the
corruption of the court"

Exercise and Health.

Exercise, with both men and women,
is q question of intelligence consid-
Grafton of kind and quality, rather than
of degree. The subject has for women
peculiar embarrassments and limita-
lions, particularly in the close house
bound life of the city. In the country
there are the natural morning duties,
with open windows and flooding sum
light; the walk to the depot or for the
mail, quiet and calming; the long
piazzas. In the city, nine women out
of ten are victims to morning gown and
slippers. A mans hat, coat and gloves
hang in the hallway, always in readi-
ness. What would he say if boots,
trousers and coat were to be changed,
after an hour, before he could get out
for breath of air?
While many women still follow the
traditions of delicacy and helplessness
that have for SO many years enshrined
and enfeebled their sex, yet they have
come, all the same, to understand,
through the efforts of many of their sis
ters who must perf0roe be stEong, thai
a poor physique puts woman at odds,
and ut the mercy of others when tie
stress of life comes. In the new creed
to which women are giving allegiance it
will come to be all article in time that
weakness, unless inherited, is sin. The
young woman of the future will fulfill
the poets ideal: "She gave him her
hand; it was not helpless one. -

A Handsome Clock.

One of the most beautiful and costly
clocks ever made was sent, many years
ago, by the East India Company as a
gift to the Emperor of China.
The case was made in the form of Q
chariot, in which was seated the figure
of woman, with her right hand rest
ing on the top of tiny clock, which
was placed in the side Of the carriage.
Some of the wheels that moved the
clock were concealed in the body of a
bird that had seemingly alighted upon
the lady's finger. Over her head was
an umbrella that concealed silver
bird.
This, althoughit seemed to have no
connection with the time-piece, struck
the hours, and it could be made to re-
peat by touching diamond button
fixed below the dial Of the clock. AT
the feet of the lady's figure was q
golden dog, and in front of her were
two birds that were apparently flying
before the chariot.
This excellent clock, with all its
necessary parts. was made Of gold, and
was most deliberately ornamented with
precious stones.

Men to Beware OF.

Samuel w. King, at the head Of one
of the largest collection concerns in the
country, has met and seen every type
of man. From his observations he has
made the following deductions, had
them printed and hung in his Office:
Beware Of the man who "Swears by
all the gods at once" or one at time,
for that matter.
Of the man who slaps you between
the shoulders and calls you cold man. !"
No amount of familiarity is any excuse
for this.
OF the man who hyphenates his
words with "er-a."
Of the man whose salutation is
whats the news"
Of the man who asks you, when he
has seen you speak to another, "Who's
your friend?"
Of the man who asks you "Where did
you get it?"
OF the man who in leaving says, "See
You later"
Of the man who pokes you in the ribs
when he is talking.
Of the man who adjusts the lapel of
your coat, or rubs one sleeve or both,
when he is talking to you.
Of the man who talks to you on the
train, or on street-car, when he never
saw you before, unless there is public
crises. Victor Hugo says that such
salutations show public anxiety, and are
only excusable when there is public ex-
element.
Sensible fellow, that Hugo.
Of the man who occupies a whole
table in the writing-room of hotel.
Of the man who can't get out of a
chair without kicking it from under
him.
Of the man who drops into q drug
store to look up name in the directory,
and hangs onto the book as ii it were a
new novel, when he sees three or four
others waiting to look sup names.
Of the man who stands at the box
Office of a theater when there is crowd
back of him, talking about best seats
and other topics.
The woman who will do this is no
better. She isn't as good as a man.
Finally-beware of the man who
comes, but never goes, and of his COM
panion picture-the man who starts to
go, but doesn't.

short-Sighted-People

They were talking boutnear-sighted
men.
did you ever see old man Bower
sox?" asked one. "Now, Bowersox was
the nearest-sighted man I ever saw.
He used to have the delirum tremens,
and would have the biggest fights with
Demonstrators, green monkeys. pink
rats and that sort of thing, that you
ever heard tell of. One day he was
having life. and-death struggle with a
whole menagerie, and it was taking a
dozen of us to hold him. Somebody
sent for his wife, and the minute she
entered the room she yelled:
'Tak4off his spectaclesp
I'VE hadn't thought of that, but the
minute we took 'em off old Bowersox
heayed sigh of relief and got well on
the spot. Never saw a snake or a
blamed thing afterwe took off his specs.
Couldn't do it, you know"
That was curious case" said an
other, but no more curious than the
case of my old friend Brayfogle. Bray
fogle was great dreamer. He used to
say that it was his greatest delight to-
go 10 bed and dream OF his childhoods
happy home. But, do You know, gents.
he couldn't see his childhood's happy
home or any of his old folks unless he
went to bed and slept with his glasses
on. M Y World.

IT must be admitted that the average
writing of Americans is bad. Tt is
either Grabbed and illegible or of a
mechanical character, in which all in
dividuality is lost; and poor instruction
is chiefly responsible for the evil. In
stead of improving upon nature, our
haphazard method perverts it, with the
result that boys and girls who might
write well if properly taught, go
through life cursed with bad chirog-
raphy. When legible it is apt to be
commonplace and inelegant. Penman-
ship, therefore, should be department
of instruction in the public schools upon
which the greatest care is bestowed. It
is most important branch of education.
The English are good penmen, as their
ordinary commercial letter shows, and
even the writing Of very many English
mechanics is clear and dignifed. The
Irish are even better writers, and the
German mercantile hand is quite ad-
mirable. But with us the rule is the
othes way. Usually the letter is a
scrawl, or the chirography is of the
copy-book kind, cheap and poor. and
mechanical in appearance. Yet there
is no reason why Americans should not
be as good writer's as other peoples, if
they were scientifically instructed in
youth. An accomplishment of great
value and of practical assistance to sue
cess in life, is thus neglected as some
thing of minor concern.

Blizzard COMMUNICATIONS.

A group of old-timers were talking
about the weather and the conversation
carried them back to the great storm of
years ago, says Minneapolis paper:
"The queerest combination I ever
knew" said the Judge refectively, "was
q blizzard death, suspected murder and
an attempted lynching that only mis-
carried because the subject missed q
train.
@The winter of 1S79-'So, as you all
recollect, was very severe one, and
many persons living on the prairie were
frozen to death. Some time before q
man named Crandall had moved from
Morris to farm in Southeastern
Dakota. One day big storm came up,
and Mrs. Crandall, who happened to be
on the plain with her youngest child,
was caught in the blizzard and both
were frozen to death. Mrs. Crandall's
parents lived in Morris. and when the
sad news of her death came her father
started for Dakota to bring back the
remains of his daughter and grandchild.
Crandall and his wife had not got along
very we'll together, and in some way
rumors of foul play crept out.
The next afternoon the bereaved
father arrived in Morris with his dead.
The bodies were frozen solid, and ar
engagements were made to thaw them
ont When this was done Mrs, Gran
dall's body was examined. A deep
wound in her side was found. 1t didn't
take the people of Morris long to make
up their minds that murder had been
committed, Crandall, it was thought,
had arrived that night with his surviv-
ing child and gone to the house OF his
mother, who lived near the village. A
lynching party was organized In short
order and armed with ropes, &c. The
house was visited and thoroughly
searched, but Crandall was not to be
found. His mother insisted that he had
| not arrived, but she was not believed.
Finally the crowd gave up the search
and went home disguised.
Now comes the strange part of the
story. The next morning the body Of
Mrs. Crandall had been entirely thawed
out, and another examination was made.
There was no sign OF the broad cash
that Mortified the people the night be.

To Republican Editors.

Representative Belden, of New York,
Chairman of the Republican Congress.
sional Committee, has issued the follow.
ing address to the Republican editors of
the country:
THE Republican party, in its several
national platforms, has pledged to the
country that as one Of its fundamental
planks it would see to the execution of
that provision of the Constitution which
guarantees to every lawful voter in Fed
eral elections his right to deposit his
ballot and have it counted for the candi-
date OF his choice. That pledge, based
on justice, involves merely the exercise
Of an unquestionsble constitutional right
of every American citizen. Nevertheless,
the gravest election abuses in large
section of our country have deprived vast
masses of their lawful franchise, have by
fraudulent agencies imposed an unlawful
representation in the National House Of
Representatives, and have thus practi-
cally subverted the Con stitution in some
OF its most important and valuable provi-
sions. The strict enforcement of this
lnalienable right is demanded as solemn
duty.
mo question of negro supremacy, no
usurpation Of Federal power is involved
in the issue. The national election bill
which recently passed the House deals
only with national elections; it does not
meddle directly or indirectly with State
officers, or State organizations. The
States are very properly left 10 work out
their own destiny through their own
agencies. Why, then should the bill not
become law2 AS declared by the Ho
William Mckinley in his recent speech
In the House, the passage of the FEEDER al
election bill is the supreme duty of the
hour The passage can not longer be
reasonably evaded. The House, faithful
and active in the fulfllment of party
pledges, jealous In the performance of q
great public trust, and, undaunted by
the diabolical threats and assaults of the
Democratic party, has promptly per-
formed its duty by the passage of the
bill. Now it only remains for the Re-
publican majority in the Senate to emu
late the House and permit the President,
by his signature, to ratify and register the
will of the nation. Will the Senate
promptly perform this imperative duty?
The committee is in possession of
information showing a concentrated eff
fort on the part of the Democratic party
to change the trend Of public thought by

The majority of people are very care
less with their cash, says a st. Louis
writer, and yet this carelessness OF
seeming carelessness is safeguard
against loss. The other day promi-
nent broker was walking up the street,
carrying bundle, wrapped in a news
paper that was not even tied. at
tempted to knock it from beneath his
arm, when he invited me into brother
brokers' office and showed me the CON
tents. There were just $75, 900 in bills,
put up in $5, 900 packages. / thought
it was q careless way to carry money,
but he said thief would never think
the bundle contained money. Men
carry large rolls of bills loose in their
pocket. It looks careless, and yet
they very seldom lose anything. A
very unsafe place is in the pants watch
pocket. A man is liable to let it slip
either inside or outside, and nine times
out OF ten it is lost. Tt is a mystery to
me why the ladies do not lose more
than they do. They carry long, stiff
purse, which is a good target for the
thief. While, as I said, the great ma
iority of people seem to handle their
money carelessly, there is less than one
half of per cent. of it lost.
