Silent Brides.

In Korea during the whole of the
marriage day the bride must be as mute
rs a statue. If she says word, or even
makes sign, she becomes an object of
ridicule, and her silence must remain
unbroken, even in her own room, though
her husband should attempt to break it
by taunts, jeers or coaxing, for the
female servants are all on the watch for
such breach of etiquette as speech,
hanging about the doors and chinks to
catch up and repeat even single utter
ance, which would cause her to lose
caste forever in her circle.
This custom of silence is observed
with the greatest rigidity among the
higher classes. It may be a week or sew
eral months before the husband knows
the sound of his wife's voice, and even
after that for a length of time she only
opens her mouth for necessary speech.
With the fatherIin-law the custom of
silence is still more rigid. and the
daughter-in-law often passes years with
out raising her eyes to his or addressing
a word to him. In Bulgaria q month g
silence is imposed on brides unless
specially addressed by the husband.

No Dtamonds For Her.

Here is a story from The Bookman,
told by Rudyard Kipling. His father,
John Kipling, went to pay visit to
an Indian rajah who was about to bring
home a queen. The elder Kipling had
been engaged in the decorations of the
palace, and it's owner showed him the
gifts Of stufs and perfumes he had pro-
cured for his coming spouse. Tho xajah
also sent for his jewel caskets and asked
MI. Kipling to assist him in selecting
the gems to be included in tho marriage
gifts. They were Of Extraordinary Gse
and value, such gems as are seldom
seen except in the east, and to the artist
the selection was . pleasure. Finally
he lifted wonderful diamond, one Of
the choicest gems in the collection, and
said: ''You should send this No wom-
an could resist it." The rajsh looked
up, caught it and held it jealousy to his
breast, then, slowly replacing it in
the casket, answered, ''Nay. such gems
be not for women.

Wanted Her Moneys Worth.

years of her life as cook, and now that

declined to 60 to 9 ward, but took one

operation was successful, but the patient
was allowed very little food. During
her convalescenpas she made frequent
use Of the electric bell at her bed. The
nurse would fly, to her, to be greeted
with some triaing question or the re-

were there. ;,s,;a> ~ >,.v
AS such frequent use of her bell sug-

the following unique explanation:

The Unxainly Russian Sailor.

! A real sailorman has fingers bent up
ike fishhooks from the lifelong habit Of
gripping things. The Russian sailor
carries his hands like a soldier and can
lot possibly be ''handy." A sailor 8
,ait ashore has a slight roll. This arises
rom the need at sea Of keeping up the
windward side Of a>rolling ship. And
the rolling gait marks one of sailors
finest qualities balance. Unless the
yody balances and poises to meet every
motion of a ship the result is seasick-
ness.
Now, the Russian bluejacket does not
toll in his gait ashore, but marches
Neither has he any sense of balancing
ut sea and seasickness in the Russian
feet is a source of actual weakness and
danger. The Black sea squadron can
only put to sea in the three calmest
months of the summer, and the so called
maneuvers take place ashore on the
Kenai peninsula. consisting mainly of
battalion drill. .
One more trait Of the real sailor is his
self reliance, which makes him fit for
facing emergencies single handed. But
the Russian bluejacket has none of this:
He is not a machine in himself, but
only little bit of a machine which
cannot work without the other bits. He
is huge in stature giant compared
with our men-but in his winter over
coat it is impossible to distinguish him
from soldier. Unhandy, seasick and
reliant only in drill discipline, he is ut

The following paper vas composed by
Mrs. Brooks and reGd at the st. Pat
rick's party given Hy the Ladies' Aid
Society, at the residence of Mrs. ]. G.
Hostetler, last Wednesday afternoon:
The 18th of March has by common
consent been coneecrated to the memory
of him who is called the Apostle of
Ireland. History is very indefinite as
to its account of him, France, Scotland
and Wales being given as the place of
his birth. In his confession he himself
says he was born at Bonavem, Tabernia.
The last name, meaning camps, was
given by the Romans to the district
south of the Clyde, and also to one near
the river Usk in Wales. Either of the
two IS better authenticated than that of
Boulogne, France.
In some of the incursions of the Picts
or Scots, common at the time, as the
Roman power was declining to hold
these people in allegiance, when about
sixteen years of age he was taken ca ptive
and sold to a petty chief of Ireland,
where he remained for about six years,
then making his escape back to his
home in Britain.
During his stay in the island he seems
to have become interested in it's people
SO as to decide to devote his life to their
service, though as he says himself, it
was in opposition to the wishes of his
friends; but ne claimed to have heard
their can GCop1a Ovar an.l boI =. -
His name is said to have been Suciat,
Patrick being from the Roman indicat-
ing patrician. His fathers name was Cal
purnius, and evidently Roman officer
of some authority, also a convert to the
Christian faith as he is called deacon.
While history, when separated from the
mythical and supernatural, gives us SO
little of detail, the fact that his name
has come down through the ages from
about the fifth century, kept evergreen
in the memory of the warm hearted
people whom he went to serve, proves
him to have been a man of more than
ordinary ability. Dealing cautiously
and gently with old pagan superstitions,
even preserving some of the Druidical
altars and Transforming many of their
rites and customs to the Christian faith
he was endeavoring to inculcate.
His Confession" reveals him
devout, simple-minded, unlettered man.
and discreet, energetic missionary.
Such men belong to no especial age,
race, or cline, but are the heritage of
the world, and we, on the shores of the
Pacific, can unite with the people of the
Emerald Isle, washed by the Atlantic's
surgee, in commemorating the memory
of st. Patrick, whether the 18th of March
be the day of his birth or his death.
The life spent in service is what we
would honor.
