Oriental Weddings.

AT wedding festivals in Arabia, Per
STA and Morocco the women guests hold
carnival all day, sometimes several
days, but the poor little bride is in Il
room by herself fasting. She is being
decorated" Depilatories and tweezers
remove all superfiuous hair. She is
scrubbed with pumice stone; her toes,
fingers and hair are stained with hen
ma, and her face is daubed with red and
bits of gold paper. An oriental maiden
has no voice in the selection of her hus-
band. She seldom sees him till she is his
wife. and he is not supposed to see her
face until she unveils after marriage.
Sometimes Cupid gets ahead of parents
and guardians, the wind" blows the
veil aside, and the young eyes meet.
Then there is some anxious maneuver-
ing that the elders may make the right
selection.

Why He Only Ate the YOlkx.

An American woman travelling In
England stopped one day at little
country house. Chatting with the Wis

her difficulty in getting along and of an
experience she had had with boarder.
THE first morning this man stopped
here" she said. ''he began to eat boiled
eggs very greedily. Egg after egg he
ate-three four. five. siX-and it was
only the yolk of them that he swal-
lowed; the white he didn't bother with
ut all
When he dug his spoon into the sew

me, and l said in a severe tone:
Don't you ever eat the white of the
egg, sir?'
"'Surely not, my woman he an

The weight of 4 growing child is the
most important index to its general
health. The standard of weight for
growing children. that usually given
by authorities in the matter, is that at
five years of age n child should weigh
about as many pounds as it is inches
high. AS Il rule, this will not be much
over or under forty pounds. Children
who come of large parents should
weigh something moro than that. The
rate of increase should be about two
pounds for every inch of growth, with
tendency for the weight to exceed
this standard proportionatcly rather
than to fall below it. When Il child is
rather heavier in proportion to its
height than this standard it is a sign
of good health. If the child is growing
rapidly it should not be allowed to fail
much below it without being made ia
rest more than has been the custom be-
fore. a deficiency of weight in proper
ton 10 height is always an unfavorablo
sign. Any interruption in the progress
of increase of weight, especially dur
ing the continuance of growth, must
be danger signal that should not be
neglected by those interested in the pa
tent.

Where 1t Always Rains.

There is a group of islands to the
south Of New Zealand called the Sis
ters, or Seven Sisters, which are re-
puted to be subjected to practically
constant rainfall. The same may be
said Of the islands and mainland of II
ezra del Fuego, save for the differ
ence that the rain often takes the form
Of sleet and snow. On line running
round the world from 1 degrees to or
0 degrees there are patches over which
rain seldom ceases to fall. This is
called the zone Of constant precipita-
tion," but at the same time there are
several localities along with it with
very little rainfall.

They Delivered Rolls.

State Tax commissioner Mclaughlin,
of Muskegon, with force of assistants,
met with the board of supervisors on
Friday last, and demanded the tax rolls
of each supervisor, as has been done for
the past three years, so that they could
be taken to Lansing. At the Office
there it is the purpose to revise them ac-
cording to the figures prepared by Clerk
Thomas Bolt, of the commission, who
visited the county last spring and made
his own estimate, which is in many
cases higher than that of the supervisors.
After considerable discussion, all the
rolls excepting those of supervisors G.
d. Smith and D. NJ. Lowe, of Corunna,
John G. Vert, of Sciota, and Frank H.
Rush, of Owosso, were delivered. These
four acted on the advice of City Attor-
ney Frank H. Watson, of Owosso, who
declared there is no law to compel sur
render of the rolls. Messrs. Vert and
Rush have since given up their rolls.

Additional Rural Routes.

1t is with pleasure that we note that
rural routes three and four are to be
started from New Lothrop, Oct. 1st
These routes are 40 miles long and will
serve 1,022 people. The citizens of New
Lothrop, and particularly the energetic
postmaster, MIR. j. H. Clark, deserve
this good fortune. The fight which
they put up to secure the first route
was one of the hveliest and sharpest
kind. But they won-thanks to the
work of Congressman Fordney-and
now they are to have two more routes,
giving them splendid service in every
direction. We're glad of it. Incident
ally, the people of Hazelton have way
of remembering favors of this kind and
Congressman Fordney will not be for
gotten.

Sugar Factory Notes.

Work in all departments has been
greatly delayed this week by the rain,
except in the warehouse where the floors
are being laid The ground floor is
cement and is splendid piece of work.
The second and third floors are 2x6 plank
laid the narrow way, thoroughly spiked
together, covered with asbestos and then
with inch and a quarter maple flooring.
The brick work on the stack is up 11S
feet and is as fine a piece of work as one
will find anywhere. 1t will require
some time yet to finish the remaining
80 feet.
Not the least job about the plant is
the constructing of the silo. Eight
teams are at work daily scraping dirt
and carrying it to the outside of the silo
for the embankments. The silo is 275x
775 feet, the sides are 30 feet wide on
the bottom, s feet on top and an average
of s feet high. To make this immense
pit for the storage of beet pulp, which
is not loaded into cars as il comes from
the factory or delivered into farmers
wagons, it is necessary to move 1876
yards of dirt.
The tarehouse at the north end of the
yard has been staked out. 1t is 36x40
feet in size.
A cement platform for the molasses
tank has been finished. The tank will
be of steel, 40 feet in diameter and IL
feet high.
The steel work is all up for the beet
sheds and is being painted. As soon as
this is done the roof will be put on. The
cement gangs are pushing the work of
plastering the sides of the bins and lay.
ing the fumes, while dirt is being hauled
in to fill up the driveways between the
several sheds. These driveways are to
be paved but it will be impossible to do
this work before another year as the
dirt will not be settled sufficiently.
Work has been commenced Oh the
second floor of the Office building The
windows are being placed in the ware
house and the abutments have been
built for the large shed on the west side
along the railroad.
Five of the large boilers We're tested
few days ago with cold water pres
sure of 240 pounds and found to be all
right. The work of placing the boilers
will be completed within two weeks.
But few visitors are admitted to the
grounds at present owing to the liabil-
ity of accident.
The steel lime kiln is being placed. In
it is burnt the lime stone to produce the
gas used in sugar making.
That the community has been largely
benefited already by the Sugar Co. To-
eating its plant here will be seen at
once when it is known that 1885, has
been expended for labor on the plant
and in the beet fields within radius of
five miles of Owosso. Of this sum about
$4S, 900 has been paid for labor for put
ting in and caring for the beets.
