Red Bridal Gowns.

1t is of interest to note that the
choice OF white for wedding gowns is
comparatively of modern origin. The
Roman brides wore yellow, and in
most eastern countries pink is the
bridal color. During the middle ages
and In the renaissance period brides
wore crimson TO the exclusion of all
other coiors. Most OF the Planta genet
and Tudor queens were married In that
vivid hue, which is still popular In
parts OF Brittany. where the bride is
usually dressed in crimson brocade 1t
was Mary Stuart who first changed
the color of the bridal garments. At
her marriage with Francis l. OF France,
in 1853 which took place not before the
altar. but before the great doors of
Notre Dame, she was gowned in white
brocade. with train OF pale blue Per
sian velvrr six yards In length. This
innovatiCa caused great stir In the
fashionable world OF that time 1t was
not. however. until quite the end OF the
seventeenth century that pure white
the color worn by royal widows-be-
came popular for bridal garments.

polished Rice"

The rice that comes on the American
table looks muShy; the grains seem all
mashed together instead OF being dis
unct and large. The trouble Some
times due to the cooking) is usually
explained by the statement that our
rice is OF inferior quality. though there
is no better rice in the world than our
Louisiana and Texas article: the grains
are large. firm and nutty. The fact Is.
our public won't buy any rice unless
the grains shine and gliSten. ConSe-
quently the first thing the miller does
Is To put his rice crop through Il course
OF polishing by which the covering Of
the kernel. and ut the same time the
most nutrltive part. is rubbed off. The
result is that he gets a beautiful. al
most sparkling grain, which sells well,
but. inaSmuch as the covering has been
removed. the grains when cooked lose
their Identity and become mush.

America. The public can procure the
unpublished rice IL they Will insist on
the grocer getting it for them. Tor
polishing is an extra process which

OLD LEAP YEAR LAWS.
when Women Proposed Six Centuries
Ago the Man Had to Accept.

when Women Proposed Six Centuries
Ago the Man Had To Accept.
In two countries. ut least. and more
than GOO years ago laws were passed
which gave women the right Of propos-
ing marriage. These enactmcnts went
even farther than this. They also stp-
ulated that II the man whose hand
they had sought should refuse he
should incur heavy fine.
a searcher among the ancient rec
ords Of Scotland discovered an act Of
the Scottish parliament which was
passed In the year 12SS, which runs as
follows:
at is statut and ordaint that during
the rein OF his maist blissit Negeste. iIz
for the years knowne as Lepe Yeare.
fix hayden ladye Of baithe highe and
lowe estaet shall hae Hberte TO bespoke
We man she likes, albeit gif he refuses
u talk hir 10 be his lawful WYE, he
shall be mulcted IN ye sum OF ane dun
dis or less. as his estait may be. except
and avis gif he can make it appeare
that he is betrothit ane ither woman.
he then shall be free
year or two later n law almost
similar TO the Scottish enactment was
passed in France and received the APP,
prevail OF the king. 1t Is also said that
before Columbus sailed on his famous
voyage 10 the westward 4 similar privi-
lege was granted 10 the maidens OF
Genoa and Florence.
There is no record eXtant Of any
fines imposed under the conditions Of
this Scotch law and no trace Of stats
tics regarding the number Of spinsters
who took advantage Of il or of the sim
nar regulations in France, but the Gus
tom seems to have taken firm hold
upon the popular mind about that time.
The next mention OF It IS dated nearly
400 years later, and It is 4 curious little
treatise called Love COurtship and
MatrimOny," which was published in
London in 16OG. In this quaint work
the privilege is thus alluded 10:
Albeit it now becomes part of the
common law in regard to social rela-
tons OF life that. rs often as every
leap yeare doth return, the ladyes have
the sole privilege during the time it
continueth Of making love either by
wordeS or lOOkes. no man will be en-
titled TO benefit OF clergy who doth in
any wise treat her proposal with slight
or contumely"
Up to within about 4 century ago it
was one Of the unwritten laws of leap
year that If Il man should decline 4
proposal he should soften the diSap-
pointment which his answer would
bring about by the presentation of 4
silk dress TO the unsuccessful sutor
for his hand
curious leap year superstition is
still to be met with in some parts Of
New England. and that is that during
leap year the beans grow on the
wrong side Of the pod"

THE AGE OF AN OYSTER.
lou Can Tell It 10y the Lines on the
Hinge of the Shell.

In some ways an oyster is smarter
than the man who eats him. but in one
respect the consumer -lls his victim
beaten Ia the matter OF wisdom. The
consumer has learned the art OF max
ing UP" TO conceal his age: the oyster
has not Any one who wishes 10 do
so can find out Just how old an oyster
Is. The lines In the groove OF the
hinge OF thc shell tell the whole sto-
~. These lines are a true index to
the number OF layers composing the
shell, being. in fact. nothing else than
their attenuated tails. One OF these
layers grows each year. and, no matter
how hard the sensitive oyster may try
70 keep II from showing. IL is bound TO
overlap its predecessor and leave q
ridge which, no doubt. is just as an
noying TO the oyster tribe as an an
nual wrinkle would be 10 the human
race.
Up 10 the time OF an oysters matu-
rity these layers are arranged with reg
ularlty. but after that they fairly pile
over each other, Just as IL the little
bivalve's birthplace had crowded upon
each other 50 rapidly that he didn't
have time 20 spread out one new plate
before another was right at his heels.
An oyster comes OF age when he Is
four years old. Coming OF age IN the
oyster kingdom means that he is old
enough 10 take care OF family and
go TO market. Going TO market Is 4
disastrous undertaking and is gener-
ally the last OF him, for four-year-
old oyster is particularly palatable, and
people do not hesitate to pay n pretty
good price for pint or n quart OF
him. BY this II must not be inferred
that after an oyster has passed the
four layer period and has five, ten or
even n dozen wrinkles on his shell
he is n back number and fit for
nothing but TO keep on accumulating
wrinkles until he dies of old age. In
deed, there are records Of oysters be
ing eaten just after celebrating their
thirtieth birthday, and in most cases
they formed quite delicious meal.
This is an unusual age for an oyster
to attain. because few OF them are Civ
en- an opportunity to live so long. II
left TO enjoy life IN his own quiet way
Ii Is quite probable that the oyster
would live TO become an octogenarian
or even a centenarian. - New York
