MARRIAGES IN CHINA.
IL Is Net Absolutely Necessary for tn
bridegroom TO BE Present.

It Is Net Absolutely Necessary for the
bridegroom TO BE Present.
A Chinese engagement dates its be-
ginning from the exchange of red cards
between the parents of the contracting
parties. These cards in many districts
are immense documents almost the size
of horse-blanket. They are important
for the reason that they are used as evil
dence in case IF disagreements in the
future. We seldom hear in China OF
broken engagements. Yet if quarrel
cannot be settled peaceabiy recourse is
had to the law, and the judge usually
imposes a fine upon the party who has
broken the contract. The chief Incl
dent in a Chinese marriage is the arrival
Of the bride ia her bridal clothes before
the house Of her chosen one. That is a
de facto fulhllment of the contract.
The wedding day is determined by the
parents of the groom. The imperial
calendar names the lucky days, and on
such DAYS the so-called ''red celebra-
tons take place, both in the city and
country. The same bridal clothes
NAV be used several times. In districts
where il is customary to celebrate
the weddings in the forenoon the
weddings of the co-wives take
place in the afternoon or in the
evening. according to the Ostsiatis-
cher Lloyd The Chinese thus hope to
make them less important That the
chief part of Chinese marriage is the
arrival of the bride at the house of the
groom is illustrated again by the fact
that the sons are often married without
being present at their own weddings.
1t is not believed to be fortunate TO
change the wedding day when once de-
cided. If the future husband, there
fore, happens to be called away on the
wedding day the marriage takes place
by sending the bride to his house.
Chinese law recognizes seven grounds
for divorce from a woman-childless,
improper conduct, neglect of the parent
of the husband, n tendency TO steal,
jealousy and ineurable disease. A nat
ural consequence of the Importance at
tached in China to male heirs is that,
where they are absent, the husband
marries a co~yvife This, however, is
not general. and is limited to families
of wealth. The bad results Of the sys
TEN are recognized by the Chinese
themselves The practical Chinese,
therefore. have adopted a more simple
way Of obtaining heirs-the adoption Of
children who belong % side branches
of the family. In this way the family
line is kcot intact. In the absence of.
male descendants in the side branches
Of the family, the sons Of strangers are
adopted The Chinese prefer this meth
cd TO marrying second wives.

WONDERFUL POWER OF COAL.
Man ReckIessIy Squandering His Future
SuuuOrf.

How long can the earth sustain life?
is always an interesting question. and
Sir Robert Ball discussed it in his
usual fascinating way in the Fort
nightly Review. a very large part of
the boosted advance of civilization is
merely of an increased power Of squan-
dering. For what are we doing every
day but inventing appliances To exhaust
with ever greater rapidity the hoard of
coal? There are just a certain number
of tons of coal lying in the earth and
when these are gone there can be no
more forthcoming. There is no manu-
facture of coal in progress at the pres
ent time. The useful mineral was the
product of a very singular period Of the
earth's history, the like of which has
not again occurred in any noteworthy
degree in the geological ages which
have since run their course. Our steam
engines are methods of spending this
hoard; and what we often hear lauded
as some triumph in human progress is
merely the development of some fresh
departure in a frightful extravaganza.
We would justly regard man as guilty
if he could not perform journey with
out cOach-and-six and half a dozen
outriders, and yet we insist that the
great steamers that take us across the
Atlantic shall be driven at a speed
which requires engines, let Us say, Of
twelve thousand horsepower. If the
of passengers on such a vessel
he set down as five hundred. we have
for each passenger the united force of
TWEEN ty-four horses, night and day,
throughout the voyage. expect our
will think that our coal
cellars have been emptied in a very
wasteful manner, particularly when
they reflect that If we had been content
with a speed somewhat less than that
at present demanded the necessary con-
Of coal would have been re
duced in a far greater proportion than
the mere alteration of speed would i'm
ply. The coal Of England may last a
century or two; the coal in other parts
Of the globe may supply our cellars for
a few months more; but the exhaustion
Of this truly marvellous product is pro-
ceeding at an accelerated pace. Doubt
less the end Of the coal, at least as an
article Of mighty commerce. viii arrive
within a period brief in comparison
with the ages OF human existence In
the history of humanity from first to
last the few centuries through which
we are now passing viii stand out
prominently as the coal burning period"
