Literal Reply.

Mr.. Herbert Spencer and a friend
were once walking toward an asylum
they proposed to visit. Their way led
them across a railroad, and seated near
the tracks they saw a young man
reading. This young man was an III
mate of the institution.

ing, where does this railroad sgo to?''
The lunatic looked up from his book
and gave his interrogation long stare
of scorn. Then he replied:

A Chinese Marriage Is "a Moist and
solemn Ceremony.

A Chinese marriage is q solemn cere-
mony talk, no leyity and much cry

walls. After the exchange of presents
the bride is dressed With much care in
red g0wn-brocade or silk, if she can
get it; her eyelashes are painted q deep
black, and she wears heavy red veil
attached to a scarlet headdreSs from
which imitation pearls hang over the
forehead. A feast is spread upon ia
BILE, to which the blushing bride is led
by five of her friends. They are seated
at the table, but no one eats. Deep ST.
Ience prevails, when finally the mother
starts crying, the maids follow, and the
bride joins in the chorus. Then all the
bridesmaids leave the table, and the
disconsolate mother takes seat beside
the chair of state, where the bride sits.
The bridegroom now enters with four
of his men friends. The men pick up
the throne on which the bride sits and,
preceded by the bridegroom, form in
procession and walk around the room
or into an adjoining room, signifying
that he is carrying her away to his own
home. The guests then throw rice at
the happy couple, a custom we have
borrowed from them.

Conducted Receptions.
Presidential receptions at the White
House nowadays are vastly different
from those given by the Father of His
Country when he was at the head of
the government. Philadelphia was then
the scene. 4he president rented a house
at Sixth and Market streets for $4,000
a year and dressed himself much more
deliberately than he had for similar oc-
casons in New York.
On the occasion of a presidential re-
ception Il chosen few were admitted
and formed a circle around the recep-
ton room. Then the president made
the round, fayoring each with formal
bow and few words Then he return

why They Range From White to

The very constitution of stars implies
the presence of some that are dark. Ev-

Many bright stars are known by the
periodic doubling of certain spectral
lines or by curious perturbations to be

The absorption of light in passing

SO infinite, causes the number of faint
stars to exceed by millions the bright

many of them quite dark to us.

Macedonian Girls.

In Macedonia girls usually marry at
the age of thirteen or fourteen, and a
husband will pay G15 to G20 for wife
if she is a good reaper and expert at
housework and spinning When girls
from the villages marry townsmen no
money is paid, the bride instead bring
ing her rousseau with her in exchange,
as it were, for the privilege of becom-
ing town lady" In the latter case
the bride most likely will be required to
do little or no work in the fields, and
