JAPAN HAS A ROYAL WEDDING
The brilliant NuptiaIs Of Prince Iia-

"a japanese wedding Is always n cere-
monious function, and that OF the
crown prince of the empire, Yoshihito

foreign paper, was not the first born
Of the family, but by the death Of an
elder brother became heir 10 the
throne He was born August 81, 1870.
Ills bride is but 10 yenrs old. is the
princes cousin, aud comes from one Of
the oldest families In the empire. Her
genealogical tree dates back TO A. ID.
d5o but her young husbands family
records are 1900 years older.
The marriage took place at the royal
palace and wns celebrated In the old
japanese style. No ring was given and
no promises were mnde by the pair as
10 fidelity, obedience, etc The main
feature OF the ceremony proper corf<
sisted OF drinking a number Of cups OF
Japanese wine or snki together In GER
tain why's. The bride was served first
during the marriage ceremony, bus
never again. After the marriage the
husbnnd Is always served first AT the
beginning Of the ceremonies the bride
was dressed in white, but this was
changed later for dress which she re-
ceiVcd from the brdegroom's parents.

the value OF eggs as food and the cnor-

TALL WOMEN COMPLAIN.

ers OF the linen, crash and pique
skirts which are sold ready made In
all the stores as scasonable articles OF
apparel have taken no heed to the fact
that many women are 'tlivincly tall"
All the skirts are suitable for women
OF average or small stature; there IN

that she cannot have less than n as-
Inch waist aud arrange matters ac-
cordingly, TO the bcwldermcnt of the
tall woman, who is oftcner slim than

inches round.
The tall woman, says the Chicago
Chronicle, Is not considered as much

be, anyhow, she thinks. Tho maid

Eskimo Lanps.

1t is not generally known that the
Eskimos have from earliest times been
acquainted with a primitive form of
lamp. Some authorities regard 1t a.
an Independent invention. The rudest
form consists of stones collected on
the beach with natural cavities into
which oil or fat can be poured. and the
wick laid at the side. In other forms
the cavities are artiticially produced.
At st. Lawrence Island pottery lamps
prevail and the size and shape bear
so remarkable a relation to the iSother-
nal lines that it is possible by COM
parison to assign its geographic posi-
ton to any specimen. With one doubt
full exception, no lamp of ancient form
existed in America south of the Es-
kimos.

Madame Wu Cuts Quite Figure i

The present minister from China is
the most popular representative the
FlOwery kingdom has had in Washing

has not had the opportunities to be-

eXcellency, soon made place for her
self in Washington diplomatic circles.
She has not her husbands command of
English but she had no sooner reached
Washington. in 1897, than she began to
study English, so that now she is well
able to carry on polite conversation.
Madame WI is of ancient lineage. her
pedigree, in distinction, extending far
Their back than that Of the royal family
itself. Naturally. she has remained
faithful TO the Oriental dress. and her
costumes are the wonder and admira-
ton of her American sisters.
On state occasions she wears a bril-
liant petticoat of red or blue, just short
enough to show her little feet, heavily
embroidered with gold. over this is
worn tunic of black and purple, also
richly wrought with bullion. On her
breast is a large gold eagle which sig
nifies that her rank is equal to that of
her husband. and she may at all func-
tons enter and leave the room at his
side instead Of behind him. as would
be required if she were of lesser rank.
Her headdress is narrow band Of
black satin. ornamented with IA SPLEEN

flowers which fall just behind the ears
and add much to its picturesqueness.
Her jewels are beautiful.
