Honeymoon Stamps.

The new Japanese stamps Issued IN
commemoration Of the recent marriage
of the Prince Imperial are now reach
ing this country. In the oval frame
of the stamp is picture Of the Jap
anese marriage table, which takes the
place of the Christian altar on such
occasions. The table is decorated with
bamboo. stalks and plum twigs and
blossoms, and at each corner rises q
spray of pine. The pine and the bam-
boo being evergreens, represent that in
which there is neither variability nor
shadow of turning; the plum, on the
other hand, stands for that which
buds, blossoms and fruits for the good
Of man. The decorations Of the paper
table cover are the crane and the tor
toise; of these the bird is symbolic OF
one thousand years and the turtle OF
ten. thousand years. Here sit the bride
and bridegroom and pass each other
cups Of saki to the number Of nine'
and so they are married, for the nine
drinks together symbolic the perfect
japanese marriage.
The legend in japanese sets forth
the names of the imperial bridegroom
and his bride and the date Of the we'd

Fit for an Epicure.

When economy must be combined
with good cooking, beef sweetbreads

most epicurean member Of the family

Swestbreads with tomatoes is perl S
the greatest favorite and is
thus: Strain pint of cooked foma-

spoonful and a half each Of flour and
butter blended together, cook, stirring
carefully. until very thick, then add
three each of peppercorns and cloves,
q bay leaf or chopped parsley, tep-
spoonful of good sauce and enough
burned sugar carameD to give q rich,
clear color Parboil two pairs Of
sweetbreads, and when cold break up
into small bits, rejecting skin and
gristle, stir into the cooked tomato,
which has been allowed to cool, turn
into a pint pudding dish and bake for
40 minutes covered. Remove cover,
spread over with stale breadcrumDs
and dots of butter and brown for q
few moments on the top shelf Of a
hot oven. If the oven is in use cook
in double boiler and use only to brown
as above.
The first slow cooking is important,
as it takes time to blend the sauce
properly with the sweetbreads.
These sweetbreads are also delicious
creamed thus: Prepare rs above, add
pepper and salt to taste. Put a tea

THE WOMEN OF CHINA.
Remarkable Instances Of Their Devotion to
Husbands or Relations

Remarkable Instances Of Their Devotion to
( Husbands or Relations
Womans influence in China is great
zer than is commonly supposed. Rec
ords of the Flowery Kingdom are full
of examples Of women famous for
their learning, heroism and high prin-
5ciple. Sometimes women achieve alb
solute power over the household, for
there is popular saying, "She eats
rice with her husband" which is used
to describe the rule Of the female
tyrant. The most astonishing instance
OF feminine power to-day Is, Of course,
the career OF the Empress Dowager.
AS an instance Of the Empress Dow
ayers power, it may be recalled that
she deposed her strongest vizier,
Prince Kung in 1885 by mere decree
In the Pekin Gazette because "he over
rated his Importance"
! In common with all other nations,
the women of China represent the
most ferYent religious element They
< are said to support enthusiastically
the Boxers movement and to be fight
Ing with passion to help rid the coun-
try OF the missionaries. That the wo-
men Of China do not lack courage is
proved by the fact that they some
times seek suicide as relief from un-
happy marriages and uncongenial
husbands would frequently be mur-
dered were it not for special punish
ments, ''ignominious and Slow" de-
yised for all women who attempt
homicide. The mere existence Of this
law proves the necessity for it.
Again, not long ago fifteen young girls
OF Canton threw themselves into the
river to escape from marrying the
husbands chosen for them.
Two other recent examples prove the
devotion of the Chinese women Of high
degree. A daughter Of the Chinese
Minister to London, Kwo-Sung-Taon,
was married at the age Of II. When
her husband died she tried to commit
suicide out Of grief, and would eat
nothing but gold leaf, seeking there
by to induce death. It failed to poi
son her, and she then starved to death.
Her sister-in-law, Mrs. Kwo, q sister
of the Marquis Tseng, tried to follow
her husband to the land Of spirits, but
failing in her attempt at suicide she
finally took compassion on her chill
dren, agreed to live and managed her
father-in-law's property while he was
in London. Ii Hung Chang penned a
memorial to the Dragon Throne, re-
questing that these two women should
receive q sign Of imperial approval.

PEARLS OF THOUGHT.

Life is more than q living.
Righteousness usually cures rags.
Comforters do not make reformers.
The falling leaves enrich the living
plant.
What we can is the measure Of what
we ought.
The plea Of consistency often means
cowardice.
A competent pilot may be a sad
wreck in himself.
The love of truth is the only way
to the light of truth.
There is no harm in the tongue when
work keeps pace with word.
Mix all your grief with gratitude
and it will taste of the latter.
The man who gets on in life is the
one who knows when to stand fast.
Every man deceives himself more
successfully than he deceives others.
1t is always easier to weep over the
wanderer than to keep him at home.
The great man has greatness in him
before the occasion brings it out
