Three Sacred Jokes.

Concerning ne WY arrived years, it ma y he
said. while We are still on the subject, there
are three jokes whichev cry man mustcrack
as a sacred duty. He may neglect to wish
his peichbor or his relation by mar
riage happy new year, and he may
even abstain from the answering, 'Thanks'
same to YOU" if 1t chance that the ether
fellow has seen him first-and palliation is
not impossible But no excuse will be
accepted from the man who is in sound mind
and testatory capacity, who omits refer
ence at this sea son to:
ta) The joke about swearing off.
tb) The joke about the new diary.
tc) The Joke about continuing to write
1t 1897.
These Jokes are a part Of the creed OF
civilization, and the pe rson who sets himself
up against them might as well object to
the theory Of the globular construction Of
the world No man, proud Of his good
fortune and his high position in society,
must imagine that is not his duty to
make some reference to the three things
here enumerated But, then, after all, this
warning is unnecessary. No man ever does

TleIe is something very attractive
about the japanese marriage ceremonies.

and is carried by pompOas and we'll
DIT see cooiie- who walks alone and di-
reetly behind the bride.
The japanese are inordinateIy fond of
SHE'LL fish, but that is only minor reason
why every marriage feast must include
clam broth. The bride and bridegroom
who together partake of such nuptlal soup
viii live long together in harmony, and
the bride who takes the bivalves as a
gift to her bridegroom viii be the mother
Of fair aud dutiful children
f'ollC wing the CIam-bearers are coolies
carefully clad, or kinsmen gaiIy robed,
bearing upon trays of old lacquer the
obligatory gifts of bride to bridegroom.
Here is Il very abbreviated list Of the
