RICE AT WEDDINGS
UNIVERSAL CUSTOM WAS BORROWED

There are very few people who know
that the custom of throwing rice a.
weddings is one borrowed from the
Chinese, and fewer still who are cog
infant of the superstitious legend tina
makes the throwing of rice considered
lucky by the Celestials. This is thu
story as told by Chinaman:
Long ago, In the days of Shang dy
nasty, some fifteen hundred years be
fore the birth of Christ, there lived il
the province of Shansi, In China, 6
most famous sorcerer called Chao. l.
happened one day that Mr.. P'ana
came to consult the oracle, and Chao
having OWNED by means of the tor
toise diagram, informed the trembling
P'ang that he had but six days to live
"But Pang was not satisfied, and, IL
order that there should be no mistake

young lady who had acquired some
reputation as a sorceress, and to the
tender feminine heart unfolded the
story of his woe. Her divinations
yielded the same result as Chao's-in

fication and rage, when he met P'ane
taking his evening stroll and learned
than he. The story would soon get
about, and unless he could put an end
to his fair rivals existence his repu-
tation would be ruined.
"And this is how Ghao plotted against
the life of Peachl.lossom. He sent n
go-between 10 Pearhblossom's parents
to inquire If their daughter was still
unmarried, and, receiving a reply in
the affirmative he befooled the SIM
pie parents into believing that he had
a son who was seeking a wife, and
ultimately he induced them to engage
Peachblossom to him in marriage. The
marriage cards were duly inter
changed, but the crafty Chao had
chosen the most uplucky day he could
select for the wedding-the day when
the Golden Peasant was in the as
cendant. Surely, aS the bride entered
the red chair, the spirit bird would de-
stroy her with powerful beak!
"Rut the wise jieachblossom knew
all these things and feared not. i will

she gave directions to have rice thrown

while his attention was thus occupied,

chair and passed on her way I'M

And now the ingenious reader knows
why he throws rice after the bride; at
least, that is how the Chinese explain
the custom.

A Deceitfui Fly.

Two men were standing outside a
jewelers. window, admiring the gorge
Gus display of glittering gems that lay
before them. Presently one OF them,
pointing to an object in red plush
tray, said:
Just look at that scarf-pin repre-
senting a fly. Any one can tell that's
not real"
"Well, / should think So" answered
his friend. Whoever saw a common
fly with such a bright appearance? II
saw that on a mans scarf could tell
directly that it was enameled imita-
tion."
At that moment the object OF their
condemnation moved across the tray,
flew in the air and vanished. The two
men looked at each other, gasped and
moved away without word.

ENGLAND'S MAJORITY OF
WOMEN.

One fact which stood prominently
out in the statements made at the an
nual meeting of the Society for Promot-
ing the Employment Of Women, at NO.
% Berncrs- st. yesterday, because, per-
haps, of the emphasis given it by the
chairman, Sir Owen Roberts, was that
there were two millions more women in
this country than men. Obviously,
therefore, the difficulty of obtaining
work for such of them as had OF ne
cessity to earn their own living was
greater even than when males had to be
dealt with. And this was increased by
the comparative difficulty hitherto ex-
perienced in providing the necessary
technical training for them. On this
point. however, Sir Owen Roberts
pointed hopefully to the effort now
made by the County Council in estab-
fishing schools for domestic economy
The chairman also pleaded for special
consideration for gentlewomen who mad
reached middle life without having ac-
uuired skill in work of definite kind,
these being the saddest cases that come
under the notice of the society. Lady
Knightley, of Fawlsey, who moved the
adoption of the report which dealt with
the work of the fortieth year of the So
ciety pointed out that the market Tor

ways l. e.. by hand, by beating with
stick, and by shaking.
The first method is most SUITABLE for
which reason we contine ourselves 10
the circumstances connected with the
gathering by hand. AS all the frult
does not ripen simultaneously, the crop
has to be gathered in as it ripens. The
gather fruit must be stored IN dry
and well-ventilated place. The 1rult
must not remain in said place longer
than is necessary for the extraction OF
the oil. The industry of preserving the
Mexican olive by evaporation or pick
ling is not a lucrative one. 1t is true
that the demand for it is sufficiently
great. but it pays better to extract the
oil. The oil is extracted in two differ
ent ways: by pressure when cold. or
better still, by heating the green or per-
fectly ripe fruit. The best oil is that
which is extracted from fruit previously
heated to a certain degree. Once the
oil Is extracted by means of hydraulic
or screw presses, sea salt, indissoluble
in the oil, is added with the object OF
extracting the water still remaining,
and it settles In the bottom of the re-
ceptacle. As before said, the preserva-
ton Of the fruit has no commercial i'm
portance; but merely as matter OF in
terest we will indicate the process
adopted by our Indians in preserving
the fruit of the Chiquacapoli (olive).
They put the fruit in ordinary water for
fifteen days in order to remove the
Shiny particles, renewing the water
every third day, until the fruit has lost
it's acid; then they mix IL cuartillos
(half a litre each) of sea salt, four
heads Of garlic qartered, ten lemons,
also cut up, and other herbs and condi-
ments, the names of which the Indian
women would not divulge, guarding the
secret in the sanctuary of their con-
ceited brains. We will say, in passing
that it is well nigh impossible to extract
| a secret from them. With all this we
must repeat that in order to relish the
Mexican olives a special taste is needed

never intended to be put in human
