L Eatfer-ln-LdW.J
palanquin, escorted by a little procession
carrying Chinese lanterns The brides
relatives take their seats in one end of
| the principal apartment, while the bride
groom's friends sit opposite. The bride,
dressed entirely in white, is led into the
room by two richly-attired young girls.
The bridegroom, who has already taken
a seat in the middle of the room, makes
no sign of recognition, but keeps his
eyes fixed on the ground, while the
bride seats herself opposite him. A
table is then drawn forward, on which
is placed a double-spouted kettle filled
with hot sake.
Another table, loaded with eatables,
is placed before each person, and the
feast begins. The two girls who es-
corted the bride into the room hand cups
of sake to the guests, who are expected
to drain them to the dregs for luck.
After this ceremony the bride and
bridegroom retire for a short time to
change their costumes. When they re-
turn the two bridesmaids fill three cups
with sake, and hand them to the bride
and her par~ents-in-law. Three cups are
imbibed by the father-in-law, who then
gives the vessel to the bride. She in
her turn drinks three cups, and receives
a present from his hands. Another
course, usually rice or fish, is now
brought forward, and the bride goes
through the same ceremony of drinking
with the bridegroom's mother, after
wards receiving another present. A
thin soup is then served, and three more
cups of wine are drunk all round.
Then comes the great event of the
evening. This is the almost sacred sake
drinking by the married couple, which
appears to constitute a kind of mar
riage service. The bridesmaids bring
forward the double-spouted kettle and
present 1t to the lips of the married pair.
These drink alternately from it until it's
contents have been exhausted, the act
being mathematical of the way in which
they intend to share one another's joys
and sorrows.
When the happy couple have partaken
of the sake kettle the ceremony is at an
end. So well versed are the bride, bride.
groom and relations in their roles that
the whole affair passes off quite silently.
There is no confusion. Each person
knows what is expected of him, and does
it in a mechanical way that gives the
proceedings an air of monotony. After
the marriage the bride continues to live
in her father-in-law's house; for it is an
almost inyariable rule that a welded
couple shall dwell during their first
months of married life at the house of
the bridegroom's father.

1900 he ran Is, 9O5 votes ahead of Bryan
in the state, and in Cook county he beat
Gov. Yates, his republican opponent, by
a plurality of 1873 votes.
Samuel Alschuler is a native OF llli-
nois. He was born in Chicago Novem-
Der 20, 1859. He is a bachelor. His pa
rents, Jacob and Caroline Alschuler,
moved to Aurora, his present residence,
in 1861. After clerking in a general
store, young Alschuler studied law, n
in 1881 he was admitted to the bar. To-
day he is considered not only a power
full orator, but an able lawyer. He was
state commissioner of claims from 1893
to 1896, when he was elected to the leg
islature, which place he held for foul
years.
Il know nothing of these rumors be-
yond what l read in the papers," said

BooMLET FOR ALScHULER.
Eastern Managers Would Like to
Have Illinois Man Nominated
for Vice President.
Chicago Special.

1HlcdSO Special.
Eastern reports of the inner workings
in national democratic politics continue
to link the name of Samuel Alschuler, of
Chicago, with the vice presidential can
didacy. 1t is argued as a matter of party
policy that Alschuler is the most avail
able candidate for the second highest
office in the gift Of the people.
Because he has automatically man
aged to keep out of the rival democratic
factions in Illinois, it Is assumed that he
would be the best man to sooth any ele-
ment of discord. His attitude toward Ia
Dor has been such, it is claimed, as would
receive the undivided support Of the
working classes.
Mr.. Alschuler's record as political tim
Der is also counted in his favor. In

Onion Stuck in Her Ear.

Ethel Root, of Philadelphia, Pa, %
years CID, found a pungent piece of onion
an effective cure for earache, but it also
necessitated her going to the Samaritan
hospital to get rid of the cure. She had
suffered severely from the pain in her
ear, and on the advice of a friend tied
q piece of onion against the ear cavity
by means OF a bandage about her head.
The application so much relieved her
that she hesitated to remove it lest-the
pain return. When she took the bandage
off the onion could not be removed and
she had to go out to the Samaritan hos
pital, where DR.. Carpenter extricated it.

Florida and Cuba. In height the bird
averages about five feet, and if it's curved
neck were stretched to it's full length
would tower above the head of an ordi-
nary man. They breed in May and June.
At this period their bright colored plum
age is faded. 1t assumes its most radiant
hues in winter. When first Matched the
young have a straight bill, which, after
a time, develops into one of bent shape.
Their first plumage is grayish white and
passes through various tints of pink,
rose, carmine or vermillion to the full
scarlet of the adult, which reaches it's
deepest shade on the wings. Several
years are necessary to perfect the final
plumage.
The eggs are white, showing a blue
tinge when scraped under the surface.
They are long. oval, and have a thick
shell, equaling in size that of the COM
mon goose. The flesh is not palatable to
the taste, being extremely oily. They feed
upon both animal and vegetable matter
from the ooze and soft bottoms OF the
shallow waters and lagoons selected by
them both as a feeding ground and nest
ing place. When flying their long legs
are stretched out behind and the neck
becomes straight. They have a peculiar
voice and a sort of one syllable cutlery,
which they utter as an alarm signal the
moment they are approached or believe
themselves to be in danger. On account
of their keen eyed and wary nature 1t
is, almost impossible to get within close
range of them.

Emperor Respects His Jaw.

The emperor Of Korea has a tender re-
gard for his royal jaw. While gorging
himself at a feast in his palace, a little
bit of bone came between his imperial
grinders and one tooth was broken. The
emperor promptly sent to prison his
cook and the entire kitchen force. After
a few months, a dentist appeared in
Kingkitao, the capital, and he inserted
an artificial tooth at an expense of about
$500. The kitchen attendants were then
set at liberty, but the chef must serve
three months without pay.
