How wagner wro,. a, on,r.,.

The story of How Richard Wagner
Wrote His Operas" is indeed wonder
full, and it will be told by one Of the
great composers most intimate friends
in the Ladies' Home Journal. Wagner
carried an opera in his mind for years
before he began to set it down on
paper. The work once begun, how
ever, it was performed with lightning
like speed. Even when an old man he
wrote down the score for one of his
famous operas with such rapidity that
two trained amenuenses were unable
to keep up with him. So absorbed in
his writing did Wagner become that in
chirography was expressed the different
emotions OF the personages of the opera
portrayed by those passages. W II.

1t is not always possible to buy new
laces and ribbons, not to speak of
chiffon, but if they are taken off the
gowns and given bath in naphtha,
the lace washed in water with 4 little
borax, they will look quite fresh again
fresh enough, In most instances, to
be put back where they were. A dark
blue gown that had a white front OF
chiffon was done oyer the other day by
putting in front of white taffeta silk
that had been treated to bath in
naptha. Over the elk was put some
chiffon that had been cleaned in the
same way, and it looked quite like new !;
but it is better not TO put cleaned
chiffon or mousseline de Sole on cleaned
silk. Lace will look, very much better,
and best of all will, look black
lace over the white. The big bows
that are worn at the throat, made OF
pleated black mousseline de Sole, are
of great advantage in ,frcshening up
gown. They should be made into
bow before being put on, and can be
attached to band of ribbon that will
form the collar. II the black is not be-
coming against the face, 1t can easily
be softened by turning down piece of
white lace, or one of the very fine en-
broidered linen collars edged with lace
that are SO much worn at present A

medium width often hide lot of wear

This might not have been popular

first time that he had disregarded pop
ularity for what he believed to be the
truth, but in a single year there are
fewer to challenge this statement than
there were when it was uttered. On

of them spoken grudgingly; but in

when a Woman should Refuse a Mar

When Woman should Refuse a Man
She should refuse hint writes a la
dy correspondent when she knows his
habits to BE Incorporate, for there can
be no unhappier fate than marriage
with a drunkard. She should refuse
him when there is any hereditary dis
ease in the family, such as consump-
ton or insanity, which would in all
probability show itself and cause in
finite misery in after years. She should
refuse him when she sees he is in the
habit of assoeiaung witch bad compan-
ions, who may lead him into a gam
bling. drinking and card playing life.
She should refuse him when she
knows him to be that despicable thing
"a male flirt; she should reflect that
as he has treated other girls so he
may treat herself and no woman cares
to lay herself open to such treatment.
She should refuse him when she feels
she has no love to give him, and not
marry, as many girls GO, for a home;
no marriage can be truly happy with
out love to sweeten the bonds. She
should refuse him when he is propos-
Ing to her for her money or from
pique, A girl can generally distin-
guish real love from feigned, and even
II she cares for him. should not accept
him until convinced his motives are
disinteresied. She should not refuse
him when she really cares for him,
and knows him to be steady, faith
full man, who viii make her happy,
and not cause her heartbreaks. which,
perhaps. one of her more brilliant low
ers might have drre.

Japanese Women.

Naturally there are no figures moce
perfect than those of the Japanese
young women. The children, UP to
the age Of fourteen, or as long as they
have the free use of their limbs, are
models of symmetry. About that time
they begin to fasten long garments
about their hips, the effect of which is
to impede their gait and give them an
awkward shuttle In course of time it
does worse, and interrupts the develop
ment of the legs and thighs Among
the laboring class an additional mis-
shaping is accomplished by the prac-
tice of carrying burdens from an early
age upon the back, for the support of
which broad straps are passed over the
shoulders and crossed in front, press
ing directly on the breasts. When a
Japanese girl reaches the age of six
teen without having undergone either
of the processes of deformity, she is
a wonder to the eye, and remains so
until twenty-five, or possibly little
later. then she ceases to charm for a
certain period in any way, excepting
by her manner, and that is generally
preserved to the last But as she
grows old she has a chance of becom-
ing quite delightful again. There is
nothing nicer than dignified and
white-haired old Japanese lady. She
is always happy for she is always
much respected and cherished by her
juniors, and at a certain age the nat
ural high breeding of the race appears
in her to attain its disqualification.

A Good NeIghbor.

There is large significance in the
phrase "a good neighbor" 1t means
tact, generosity, thoughtfulness, sym
pathy, interest. 1t implies a nature
having the social quality coupled with
the quality of reserve. 1t speaks of
an ear deaf to those things that relate
to family privacy and an eye open to
need. 1t signifies a tongue controlled
by prudence, mind suggestive OF
pleasant ways of helpfulness, a heart
impelled to the doing of little kind
npsses

The Trembling pillar at Rheims. ress

Inc dt W
The famous trembling pillar at
Rheims, in France, presents a curious
problem to architects. The Church of
Saint Nicaise is su lrounded with pill
lars constructed to prevent straining
of the walls AT the entrance of the
church is a bell tower. On one of the
bells in this tower the phenomenon of
the trembling pillar depends. When
this bell is rung or even touched, the
top of this pillar sways. 1t goes and
returns about seven inches on each
side although the base of the pillar
is immovable and the stones are so
firmly cemented that it seems like a
solid piece of stone. An authority,
who states that no satisfactory solu-
tion of this popularity has been given,
writes: What is very singular is that
though the four bells are about the
same distances from the trembling pill
lar only one of them has any effect
upon it, The others may be rung sing
ly or altogether without moving it.
In 1875 a little window was made in
the roof opposite the pillar. A board
was placed on the top of the pillar, and
on it were put two glasses of water.
Then the bell was rung. Immediately
the pillar began to sway, and on the
fifth stroke of the bell the two glasses
were thrown OFT The ringing of this
bell has no effect on the pillars be-
tween the phenomenal one and the
tower. nor on any Of the others. But
formerly ii was the first pillar which
swayed, then it became immoyable,
and some years ago the one next to
it became the eccentric one.

SHE MARRIED A WASH.
Ancient Rite Performed by Bereaved
Chinese Bride Elect.


Chinese Bride Elect.
Miss Hsu, the daughter of wealthy
Chinese nobleman of high military and
official rank, figured in a strange and
weird ceremony a few months ago, the
story Of which has just come from the
flowery kingdom. 1t was the result Of
a young girls romantic and enduring
affection for the memory OF her lover,
who died suddenly three days before
the date set FOR their marriage. He
was the son of the vice chancellor of
the Pekin Imperial academy, a very
famous educational institution, where
the only pupils received are Of noble
blood. When the news Of her lovers
death reached the promised wife she
was inconsolable, and wished to enter
the state of widowhood, but her father
demurred. Somebody suggested that
another bridegroom might be forth
coming, and, as may readily be sur
missed, at this stage of the proceedings
the maiden was in despair. A wise
teacher of the Confucian philosophy
was consulted, and he recalled to mind
the ancient ceremony of marrying to a
| flower vase. 1t was rite of great an
| tiquity, legend attributing its origin to
an empress who ruled before the Chris
tian era. So It was decided that the
maiden might marry the red vase. "
| 1t was necessary, however, to procure
the imperial sanction. This the great
wealth of Hsu obtained and the we'd
| ding was solemniZed In the process
sion the vase was carried under a silk
en- canopy on a palanquin borne by
| youths of noble birth, while the bride
followed in another palanquin guarded
| by twelve virgins and twelve matrons.
A military guard and a civic escort
made up the parade. Many bushels of
the small coin known as cash" about
| 1000 OF which equal an American dol
lar, were thrown to the throng of peo-
pie watching the procession. ban
| quet was served to the commoners in
the public square, the theaters were
thrown open and fireerackers were dis
charged necessarily for three days.
After the ceremony the bride was es-

her boudoir. She will remain all the
rest of her life in the palace of the vice
chancellor, who is now regarded in the
light of her fatherin-law, Her bride
groom, the vase is a specimen of great
value and antiquity, indeed, it is said
to excel in delicacy of ornamentation
anything of it's kind in the tiowery
kingdom. 1t is about five feet IN
height, made of the finest porcelain
of a deep peachblow tint, and inlaid
with gold, spun glass and mother OF
pearl 1t took a skilled artist fifteen
years to finish it. All this reads very
much like a fairy tale, but the facts
of the case gathered from press dis
patches sent to San Francisco, are au-
thenticated by an attache of the Chi
nese legation at Washington.
