ounoe of Prevention.

March is bad month, and an ounce Of
prevention just at this time is strongly
recommended to be distributed among
the various members Of the household.
Children who have been studying hard all
winter should be carefully watched, and
if they seem fatigued should have their
tasks ightened; young girls who have
been leading a more or less artificial life
during the season should be made to
keep early hours, take regular exercise
and eat nourishing food. And in taking
care for Others the mother herself should
not be forgotten or self forgetful, but
should follow herself the rules she lays
down for others.
There is no better tonic at this time,
says a noted physician, than glass of
hot milk slipped slowly, and taken when
fatigued it is far better ''pick me up"
than any stimulant would be. It is a
capital remedy, too, for restoring color
to pale cheeks and for rounding out the
angles of thin children. People who
fancy that they can not drink milk find
that by slipping it hot and slowly it will
agree with them perfectly.-'-St. Louis
Globe-Democrat.

yowels In the Hawaiian Tongue.

The Hawaiian language is composed
mainly of vowels and few consonants
put in to vary the monotony. And the
beauty of the system is that there is no
waste. Every vowel is pronounced. For
instance. when the American eye winks
at the appearance of the simple word
"naauao," the GLIB native rolls oat the
five syllables with neatness and dispatch.
This means 'tenlighten." Double VOW
els are very frequent, but never a d1pn
thong. Three vowels are not uncom-
mon, and, as above, four and sometines
more are found unsepar&ted by conse-
nants. In the mouth of the uneducated
native the language is apt to ee explo-
sive, but the higher classes speak it with
fluent grace that surpasses the French
or the Italian. In sound it somewhat
resembles the general flow Of the con
tinental European languages, for the
vowels all have the French quality, and
the accents are not dissimilar. Wash.

Our Literary Conquest In England.

A little book is to be published here On
"First Editions of American Authors" "
From this one may fairly assume that
the popularity of transatlantic writers
in England is now considerable. Not
very many years ago Longfellow, Poe,
Emerson, Hawthorne, Lowell, Mark

were almost all the American authors in
whom the British public took any inter
est. How different is the situation nowl
American books swarm in our literary

Some Curious Marriage Customs That Still
Exist Among the Peasantry.
Some quaint customs still survive
among the peasantry Of south Wales
at least in the remote villages. One Of
the eddest is the bidding" When a
young man and woman are engaged, a
circular is printed-known as bid
ding letter''-and distributed at market
and outside the chapeis on Sunday, so
that all may know of the event. The
form is always the same and runs as fol-
lows:
AS we intend to enter the matrimonial state,
we are encouraged by ogr friSnds to make
bidding on the occasion at Ire young mans ia
theirs house there follow the address and date
of the entertainmenD, when and where the IA
vor of your good and agreeable company 10
most humbly solicited, and whatever donation
you may be pleased to bestow on US will be
thankfully received, warmly acknowledged
and cheerfuily repaid whenever called for on
similar occasion by your obedient servants,
JOHN EVANS.
JANE DAVIS.
All being ready on the day, a party
goes to fetch the bride to the bidding,
She hides and has to be sought for in all
directions, but being at last found is
escorted in triumph. Her procession is
met by that of the bridegroom, and they
all repair to the church, where the we'd
ding ceremony takes place, after which
all return to the groom's house to make
merry and to count the gifts. These are
generally in money aud vary from a
shilling up to half sovereign.
Each item is carefully entered in
book by the bidding clerk together
with the donors name, so that 1t may
be repaid when he or she marries. As
all the money will probably not be
called in for many years-some not at
all. if the givers remain single-the
young couple receive tolerable start in
life. Oddly enough, the bridegroom is
expected to provide the kitchen clock
and table, the glass cupboard and the
kitchen dresser, also the bedstead. Each
of the young people is supposed to bring
half dozen chairs, the brides especial
contribution being the bedding, the
crockery ware, the parlor table and a
chest of drawers. Things are done me-
