A JEWISH WEDDING.
.uAeeounr of The Religion. Ceremony
From the February Century.

From the February Century.
Admission TO the floor of the synagogue
Is by card, to the galleries by favor. The
reading desk on the floor Is covered by the
..ehuppah, or marriage baldachino. 1t
consists of four slender posts supporting
cover of richly figured silk with massive
satin fringes. On each side, except the
eastern, Is an arch Of smilax, evergreens,
and roses. UshcFs are in black frock
suits. and wear high silk hats. At > ?.
H.. the assistant reader of the copgrega-
ton chants the psalm Of thanksgiving in
Hebrew, to which responses are made by
trained choir in the gallery. Next, the
ministers, chief among whom Is the veneer
able father Of the groom, descend from the
platform and approach the door a. the bridal
procession enters Returning 10 places
within the chuppah. they are followed by the
bridegroom, supporting his mother on his
arm. The bride follows, accompanied by
her mother, brother, and an old nurse, who.
ike those of her race in the West Indies,
Is faithful in solicitous attendance to the
last. Eight little children, cousins Of the
bride. bearing baskets Of flowers, come
last.
Pure white satin Is the dress Of the lady,
who Is covered with diaphanous veil, and
carries bouquet Of flowers. Face to face
with the bride she stands composedly,
while the ritual is read. The first cup Of
consecrated wine, to be slipped BY groom
and bride, is then presented. If the obi
cations of matrimony are not now under
stood by the quietly happy pair, it Is not
the fault Of the officiating rabbi, whose
long but sterling address in English is
punetuated by apt Hebrew quotations.
Wifely and husbandly duties are set forth
with great force and precision. The ofheiat,
Ing minister then takes glass of wine in
his hand and pronounces the seven pre-
scribed benedictions. Bridegroom and
bride taste the wine, and thus symbolic
participation in the joys and pains Of
earthly life. The wedding ring-plain
and unadorned, as the emblem of simple
contentment, perfectly rounded, as signify
ing concord in endless unions placed on
the brides finger by the groom, with the
words. "Behold thou art consecrated unto
me by this ring, according to the law Of
Moses and of Israel Reading the
aKethubah," or marriage contract. a:
formulated by the fathers, is omitted, for
the sufficient reason that 1t has already
been subscribed in private. Now comes ar
interesting performance on the part of the
newly welded husband. The goblet from
which he and his wife have drunk is de
posted on the floor, and by his foot i:
crushed into a thousand fragments, and
that with a vim that speaks eloquently Of
his resolve to put his foot on any and al
evils that may enter the family circle until
death skaters it. The first kiss under the
new relation is then given, the bridegroom
offers his arm to his spouse, and with a
proud air of responsibility leads the willing
yokefellow from chuppah to entrance, and
and thence home to the wedding feast

Champagne Bottles.

In bottling champagne the quality of the
bottles is an important matter. Unless their
strength is very considerable there is sure
to be terrible waste by breakage. Cham
payne bottles cannot be used second time,
as the pressure to which they are subjected
seems, in some unexplained fashion, to
strain the glass so as to make it unsafe for
future use Indeed, it is stated that a
thrifty manufacturer who once made the
experiment Of putting new wine into old
bottles, to the number of 5000, speedily
found his cellar filed with broken glass
and flooded with wine, less than a score of
bottles out of the whole remaining intact.
After being bottled the wine is at once
corked, the corks are secured with an in
genious contrivance which dispenses with
wires and the bottles are usually kept in
the warehouse above ground, at a temper
aturc warm enough to encourage efferves-
Gene, unless indeed the wine contains sufi-
cient carbonic acid gas to make it possible
to dispense with this stage Then they
are sent down to the cellars, are stacked in
horizontal position, and arc left to mature
for a period varying from eight to ten
months to three or even four years

What "pr. Lemon, viii Do.
From New York Herald.


Do you want to know the nstne Of one
Of the best all around household doctors,
and certainly the cheapest that can be
found in any country?
1t is DIR. Lemon Yes, an ordinary,
sour, yellow lemon, which You can buy at
any grocery for a few cents.
Here are some of the things DIR. Lemon
will do for you if You give him the chance.
Squeeze him into glass of water every
morning and drink him with very little
sugar. He will keep your stomach in the
best of order and never let Mr.. Dyspepsia,
whom he hates cordially, get into it.
If you have dark hair, and it seems to
be falling out, cut of slice of the doctor
and rub him on your scalp. He will stop
that little trouble promptly.
Squeeze him into quart of milk and
he will give you a mixture to rub on your
face night and morning and get a complex
ion ike princess.
Pour him into an equal quantity Of siy-
cerine and rub your hands with the mix
ture before going TO bed. If you don
mind sleeping with your gloves on. that Is
better still, and helps the doctor consider
ably in his task of whitening your hands
In the morning wash your hands thorough
ly in warm water and apply the doctor again
pure, but only few drops this time. You
must not keep this up too long, or your
hands will show such dazzling whiteness
as to make all the other young ladies in
the vicinity jealous.
If you have a bad headache cut DR..
Lemon into slices and rub these along your
temple The pain will not be long disap-
pearine-or at least in growing easier to
bear.
If a bee or au insect stings you clap a
few drops of the doctor on to the spot and
YOU will find yourself the better for it.
If you have a troublesome corn the doc
tor can be again put to good account by
rubbing him on the toe after you have
taken hot bath and cut away as much as
possible of the troublesome intruder.
Besides all this the doctor is always ready
to sacrifice himself in the cause of Russian
tea-slice him in without sugar-or in the
preparation of old-fashioned lemonade. than
which no drink Is more wholesome.
Altogether DIR. Lemon is an individual
few people can afford to get along without.

Add to Your Vocabulary.
Harper's Bazar.


4 certain father constantly told his
daughters: "Girls, get new words into
your vocabularies = 1t was plain his ad-
monition was needed. Seldom were girls
met whose language was as varied and pic
turesque as theirs. They were never at a
loss to express exactly what they intended.
They used different phrases to describe
different feelings and sensations, and the
proper one appeared where it was needed.
After talking to the average girl, to whom
everything is lawfully sweet or simply
dreadful, and whose terms for joy or grief,
assent or denial, can be confidently pre-
dicted, it was pleasure as well as a relief
to listen TO these bright young people,
whose conversation showed what might be
accomplished with little effort.
The English language, made up as it is
of words derived from the principal Ian
guages of the world, holds immense posi-
bilities for the student Those able to speak
or write it easily, who have aready COM
mand of a correct phraseOlogy, possess a
power quickly recognized and strongly felt.
And it Is a power which a sufficient amount
of study can give to those willing to take
the trouble to acquire it.
Every one may not be able to write
freely and with the most agreeable effect
to the reader, although, with the requisite
amount OF pains, more could be done in
this direction than many people suppose.
But it is at least possible for young people
and some older pcople-to get few new
words into their vocabularics." \ book of
synonyms is an easily accessible help. 1t
could teach a few adjectiyes besides those
in everyday use, which are frequently worn
threadbarc. Indeed, some of these stock
phrases have become meaningless.

Rich Without Money.

Many man is rich without money
Thousands of men with nothing in their
pockets, and thousands without even a
pocket, are rich. \ man born with
good sound constitution, good stomach,
a good heart and good limbs, pretty
good head piece, is rich. Good bones are
better than gold, tough muscles than silver,
and nerves that fash fire and carry energy
to every function are better than houses
and land 1t Is better than landed estate
to have the right kind of father and
mother Good breeds and bad breeds exist
among men as really as among herds and
horses. Education may do much to check
evil tendencies or to develop good ones,
but it Is great thing to inherit the right
proportion of faculties to start with. The
man is rich who has coed disposition,
who is naturally kind, patient. cheerful,
hopeful, and who has favor Of wit and
fun in his composition. The hardest thing
to get on with in this life is "a mans own
self. A cross, selfish fellow, respondent
and complaining fellow, timid and care
burdened man, these are all born deformed
on the inside. They do not limp, but
their thoughts sometimes do.

Cure for Pneumonia


Au old lady living on West Franklin
street, who has for many years succeeded in
curing a number Of persons of that much
dreaded disease, pneumonia, by means Of a
very simple and easily available recipe of
purely domestic character, gives her form
ula for the benefit of such as may now be
or may hereafter become afflicted with the
pulmonary disease in question. Take ten
or twelve raw onions, chop them fine, put
them in large spider over hot fire, cover
with vinegar; let them simmer five or ten
minutes; add rye meal TO make thick
paste; stir thoroughly; put the mixture in
cotton bag to cover the lungs. Take
Two of these poultices, and when one gets
cold put on another, and in few hours, it
is said, the patient will be out of danger
