Chinese Wedding superstitions.

No other country has 50 many super
stitions about marriage as China. The
Chinese never marry within Il hundred
days after death has taken place in
the family of either the bride or groom
for if they do they believe domestic
troubles are sure to follow. There
seems to he 10 reason for this belief
and the Chinese do not attempt to eX
plain it, but are willing to let it 20
as an undisputed fact. y Chinese bride
NAV be brought to the house of the
groom while there is Il coffin in the
house, but not within a hundred days
after it has been taken out. If Il bride
breaks the heel of her shoe while she
is going from her fathers TO her hus-
bands home it is ominOUs of unhappi-
ness to her new relations. \ side o.
bacon and a piece of sugar are hung
on the back of a brides sedan chair as
peace Offering to evil spirits, and
when she is dressing for the wedding
ceremony she stands al the while in
round wicker basket When a bride
is eating her last meal at the table of
her father before going TO live with her
husband she is allowed TO consume
only half bowl of rice, lest shc be
followed by continual scarcity In her
new abode.

In 1876 Mr.. DiSraeli was raised bg

of his elevation 70 the house of lords
had been made public. His withdraw
al from the stage where he had played
so long the leading part in Il manner
obviously devised to avoid any sort OF
ovation was in accordance with the
dignity which characterized the re.
naming years of his life after the de-
feat of the Conservatives when the
general election of 1880, in consequence
of the Midlothian campaign, had ter
minated his public career. No appli-
cant for his opinions on any subject
ever received 4 postal card from Lord
Beaconsfieli. No speech was ever
made by him ut railway stations. He
died in 1881 as he had lived-alone. Il
stranger amid Il strange people. After
his death his memory became to Eng
fish Conservatives an object of almost
sentimental affection: to English Radi-
calls it remained an object of never
failing animosity But to Englishmen
Of all politics. to Conservatives and
Liberals alike his life continues to be

Knowing the Birds.

How grand is the hawk or the eagle
sailing far away in the blue sky! And
how beautiful are song birds. each in
its favorite position to sing, the song
sparrow with head thrown back. the
bobolink sailing down to the grass with
raised wings. Those who have spent
much time in Watching birds in the
field know how differently the various
birds perch, fly. run. climb or feed
The warblerS catch flies. but they do
not Go it in such an interesting way as
do the true fly catChers We come to
know Il bird by the flight or walk just
rs we know other friends by their gait
or even by the sound of their tread
In fight the wings Of many different
birds make peculiar sounds whereby
we may know the birds even if they
themselves are out of sight. 1t is not
at ali necessary to get close enough to
a bird to see its exact color or the
shape of its bill ana feet. for its move.
mentS ana outlines CAN he seen at Il
greater distance. And so we may
know the bird even though it should fig
away. as birds often do as soon rs we
try TO stalk them for nearer view

THE LATE SECRETARY BLAINE, AND SECRE

Edmund j. James of the University of

ton by the Peruvian government when
it was planning a new system of nor
nal and Industrial education. Anoth-

The cruiser Charleston will carry
Elihu Root. secretary of state of the
United States, and some of the dele
gates to Rio de .lanero. The secretary
is not officially member of the delega-
ton from the United States to the con-
ference. but his advice will be listened
to with much respect. as he has given
a great deal of study to the subject of
closer relations between the United
States and other countries of the new
world and enjoys the confidence of the
diplomats and public men of the Latin
American republics. Before Secretary
Root returns he will visit other coun-
tries of South America besides Brazil,
and his tour is exciting no little inter-
est because it is the first time that
secretary of state of the United States
mas taken one of such a character.
Among the subjects to be discussed
by the conference are those of arbitra-
ton. reorganization on n broader and
more permanent basis of the bureau Of
American republics, uniform regua-
tons respecting patents, trademarks,
copyrights. customs and port rules.
codifcation OF international laws, san
itary and quarantine regulations, the
pan-American railroad project and the
Calvo or DragO doctrine Briefly stat
ed, the latter principle consists in the
contention that no force shall be used
by any power to collect money owed
to its citizens by citizens of another
power The doctrine is sometimes
called in honor of the Argentine his
torlan Carlos Calvo, who died about
dozen years ago. and sometimes in hon.
or OF the Argentine jurst L. F. Drago.
