And why summer jewelry?'
Because there is possible GER

some kinds of jewelry that rem

appropriate for summer gowns.
The fresh, crisp muslins, the
cool, swishy, lacy frocks that
help to make the summer girl

Weeping at a Wedding.

A Chinese marriage is all ceremony
mo talk, no levity and much crying.
The solemnity of funeral prevails.
After the exchange of presents the
bride is dressed with much care in
red gown, brOcade or silk, if she can
get it; her eyelashes are painted a
deep black and she wears a heavy
red veil attached to a scarlet head
dress from which imitation pearls are
pendant over the forehead. A feast
is spread upon a table, to which the
blushing bride is le'-. by five of her
best female friends. They are seated
at the table, but no one eats. The Ut
most silence prevails, when finally
the mother leads off in cry, the
maids follow and the bride echoes 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 best men. 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 parlor, sig
nifying that he is carrying her away
TO his own home. The guests then
throw rice at the happy couple-a GUS
tom we have borrowed from the
heather.

CURIOUS USES FOR FANS
Used by Ur.pires at Fencing and
Wrestling Matches.

Various are the uses for fans in ia.
pan. Properly manipulated, they many
times take the place of speech. The
umpire at wrestling and fencing
matches uses heavy fan shaped like
a huge butterfly, the handle being the
body and rendered imposing by heavy
cords OF silk. The various motions
Of the fan constitute language
which the wrestlers fully understand
and appreciate. Formerly in time
Of war the Japanese commander USED
q large fan, having frame OF iron
covered with thick paper. In case ot
danger it would be shut, and blow
from it's iron bones was no light at
fair. One notable variety of fan ID
mads OF waterproof paper, which can
be dipped in water and creates great
GOODNESS by evaporation without wet,
ting the clothes. The fiat fan made
OF rough paper is often used as a
grain winnOw, to blow the charcoal
fires and as dustpan. The Japanese
gentleman of the old school who new
er wears a hat uses his fan to shield
his eyes from the sun. His head,
bare from childhood, hardly needs
shade, and when it does he spreads
an umbrella, and with his fan he di-
reefs his servants and saves talking

THE cHINEE AS WE SEE HIM.

The great body Of Americans are so
accustomed to thinking of Chinese as
merely day-laborers or washermen,
that it is difficult to bring them to a
realization that there are Chinese of
note and distinction and good breed
ing, says the New York Post. In Eu-
rope the1e is no such misconception.
The Chinese and Japanese students
in Berlin have never had any diff
Guilty in obtaining the entree into the
best literary and educational circles,
and have actually carried off quite
number of German brides. Few dip
lomats have been so popular there as
Lieut.-Gen. Yintschang. the Chinese
ambassador, who has just been recall

sition at Pekin. AS military attache

reciting the ambassadors services to
both countries, was able to point to
some considerable evidence that this
representative Of the Flowery King

KS any European statesman.

A NEEDED REFORM.

The dismissal of midshipmen from
Annapolis for hazing raises the ques-
ton whether these examples, with per-
haps few more to follow, will abol-
ish the archaic evil, says the Pitts
burg Gazette.
If it does not the only course is to
keep on with the dismissals until
either the abuse is stopped or the
Naval Academy is vacant Since the
appropriate penalty of disciplinins
the hazers with a good scuNs paddle
has been neglected the only course is
to expel till one or the other of these
results is attained.
Nor is there any good reason why
the latter should be dreaded. Does
anyone suppose that the people are
anxious to maintain at the public cost
naval academy where neither disci.
pine, respect for the law nor ordin-
airy enlightment is enforced?
The people at large have no ned for
a naval academy unless the cadets are
brought equally into subsection and
intelligent discipline. Better close the
academy If order and authority cam
not be otherwise maintained.

AN Automobile Fire Department.

AAAA ire
The municipal authorities Of Vienna
have determined to abandon the use of
horses to draw their fire apparatus and
to equip their service entirely on an au-
tomobile basis. says Harper's Weekly.
The Vienna fire department Is consid-
cred the best equipped Of continental
! Europe, and within ten years 1t has re-
placed all obsolete apparatus with the
most modern and useful devices. The
first step taken was the ordering OF
Gftyvthree motor chemical engines and
wagons to replace those previously
drawn by horses and which are most
susefui for dealing with small fires.
When this has been accomplished tho
horse drawn steam Are engines and the
extension ladders will be changed or.
replaced In some way not as yet deter
mined. 1t is claimed that increased eff
iciency will follow the innovation,
while there will be saving of some
$15, 800 per annum in the cost Of main
tanning the stations for which the fifty
three sets of apparatus have been or
dered. The outlay will be about $177,.

Tempered With Mercy.

An English gentleman went to q
village in the north of Scotland for a
weeks fishing on the lochs in the dis
trict. He was very unfortunate, hav
ing caught nothing in the first five
days OF his stay. OF course, his hotel
bill, boatman's hire, as we'll as sum
dry odd amounts, made the fishins
rather expensive. On the last day,
however, he killed a nice salmon, and
in the course of conversation with the
boatman he said: Donald, do you
know that fish has cost me E10?"
"Aweel, SIR" replied Donald, who took
life very easily, "all things be mixed
wi mercy; it's a blessing we didna
catch Ony mair."-The Taller.
