The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1907-08-22

A Chinese marriage Is a solemn
ceremony-no talk, no levity, and
much crying. After the exchange of
presents the bride IS dressed with
much care in brocade or silk, her
eyelashes are painted a deep black.
and she wears a heavy red veil at
tached to a scarlet headdress, from
which imitation pearls hang over her
forehead. A feast is spread upon a
table to which the blushing bride Is
led by five of her friends. They are
seated at the table, but no one eats.
When the mother starts crying, the
maids follow, and the bride joins In
the chorus. The bridegroom now en-
ters with four friends. They pick up
the throne on which the bride sits.
and preceded by the, bridegroom
forms a 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

Timber for Wine Casks.

"The growing scarcity of timber
suitable for the manufacture Of
slaves Is a problem that confronts
two continents and in which all the
wine drinking world. and therefore
the civilized world. is concerned"
said ! B. Goldman. stave grower
and shipper Of Hope, Ark.
Timber best suited for manufact-
ure into slaves come from Arkansas
and small portions Of Louisiana.
Texas, Alabama and Tennessee. The
timber has been cut in larger
amounts every year to meet the
growing demand. Prices have ad-
vanced, Of course, but the demand
still advances, or no other wood can
tako the place of that produced in
our section,
Most of the slaves are shipped to
Barcelona, Spain, where they are
used in the manufacture of wine
casks. Both Europeans and Ameri-
cans have tried to invent something
TO take the place of the stave, but so
far without success. Glass and earth
en- casks have been tried, but wine
does not age the same in these re-
ceptacles and 1t has quite a different
flavor"

The goosebone predictions are
perhaps more closely watched In
Kentucky than anywhere else, and 1t
may be called the Kentucky weather
prophet.
We must take the breastbone Of a
last springs goose-none other will
do, for the prophecy does not extend
beyond the. year In which the goose
is hatched 1t must be divided into
three different parts. which repre-
sent the three divisions Of winter.
The breast bone of goose is
translucent. but at places has cloud
like blots upon It. These blots de-
note cold weather, and the prophecy
is made according to their density
and position.

Beware of Ointments for Catarrh

as mercury will surely destroy the
sense of smell and completely de-
range the whole system when en-

the good you can possibly derive

First Waving Flags.

Waving flags are said to have been
first brought to Spain by the Sara
Gems. The present Spanish colors.
red and yellow, came from the old
shields Of CASTLE and Aragon.
The Austrian black and yellow
were the colors Of the Holy Roman
Empire, They were adopted, so the
story goes, by Frederick Barbarossa,
whose fancy was captred at a cere-
mony in Mainz by the black and gold
flooring of the hall.
The crescent was originally the
special mark Of Constantinople,
where for centuries It was used as a
Christian symbol. There It was that
the Turks first found 1t when they
captured the city In 1853. To-day
1t may be found side by side with the
cross on the churches in Moscow
and other Russian cities, where 1t ID
used to Indicate the Byzantine origin
OF the Russian faith.

MIXED THEIR MODELS UP.
Men Have Posed for Pictures of
Women and Vice Versa.

Men Have Posed for pictures or
Women and Vice Versa.
It is an interesting fact that ar
lists have used women as models
from which to paint men and men
as models from which to represent
women. One of the most striking in
stances is the well-known picture,
Napoleon on Board the Bellero-
phon." A woman friend of the paint
er was the model Of the Little Cor
poral."
Landseer's famous picture, THE
Naughty Boy" was really painted
from little girl. little Lady Rachel
Russell. AS a matter of fact, says the
Strand, the chlld's mother had TAX
en- her to have her portrait painted.
When, however, she arrived at the
studio she refused to pose in the way
the artist suggested and became so
sulky and naughty that 1t was impos-
sible to do anything with her.
At length her mother put her in
the corner as punishment. Then
she turned with such sturdy, de-
flant look that she impressed Land
seer, who sketched the recalcitrant
little one as she stood.
A sense of chivalry toward the
child caused him to change the sex
of the subject, so he added the bro
ken slate, the rumpld hair and the
undone boots, while keeping the dis
heyelcd dress, and gave a title to the
w
any suggestion of portraiture.
WILKES Blind Fiddler" which
created a furor when it was exhibi-
ted at the Royal Academy, furnishes
another instance, for the artist act
ually sat to himself for the figure of
the old woman.
Wilkie used to say that one day
Bannister the actor called and was
shown in while he was sitting on a
low seat, dressed as a woman, with a
looking glass before him, performing
the part of a model for himself Will
kie was not man to be in the least
discomposed at being found in such a
plight. Bannlster gazed on him for
a moment or So and said.
II need no Introduction"
Truly, no." said Wilkie. II know
you very we'll, but, you see, can't
move lest l spoil the folds of my
petticoat. l am for the present an
old woman"
On one occasion Guido painted the
head of a Madonna, using his porter
as a model.

Novelists write lot Of nonsense
about the extreme suffering that &C.
companies starvation. 1t is all pop
pycock. says Dillon Wallace. in the
Outing Magazine. Any healthy per-
son, with normal appitite, after
missing two or three meals is as
hungry as he ever gets. After a
while there is a sense Of weakness
that grows on one, and this increases
with the days. Then there comes
a desire for a great deal Of sleep. a
sort Of lassitude that is not unpleas-
ant. and this desire becomes more
pronounced as the weakness grows.
The end Is always in sleep.

bathing In the Dead Sea.

Is bathing In the Dead sea In
Palestine different from bathing in
any other body of salt water? Some
writer's say 1t is not, but the Rev.
Haskett Smith, author of "Patrollers
of Palestine" says that 1t Is. mo
sooner has one plunged into tho
water than one is whipped off ones
feet and goes bobbing helplessly
about like wretched cork. In the
effort to regain ones footing and to
get back to shore ones feet and
shins are barked by the Jagged
stones and pebbles. and when at
length one does emerge from its
treacherous bosom. with the lower
limbs bleeding and torn, one becomes
aware of a horrible tingling and
burning sensation In eyes, ears,
nostrils, mouth and almost every
pore of the skin, from the brine
and bitumen which have penetrated
everywhere. Unless great care Is
taken the bather IN the Dead sea Is
liable to an eruption. which breaks
out all over the body, and which
Is commonly known as the Dead sea
rash The best antidote to this Is
to hurry across as quickly as posi-
BILE to the river Jordan and to take
Il second plunge therein The soft
and muddy waters of that sacred but
the salt that has incrusted the body"

Dispensing Druggists Bottle.

The common method Of measuring
and dispensing drugs Is by the use
OF a graduate, Into which the liquid
is poured from the bottle and meas.
ured, and necessarily the graduate
has to be washed after each action,
creating considerable disagreeable
work as well as trouble and labor of
taking the bottles from the shelves
and uncorking the same. The same
objections are incident to the dispen-
sing of liquids from vessels of any
kind where the contents have to be
poured therefrom into another yes
sci to be measured. A chemist has
conceived the idea of supplementing
each stock bottle with transparent
graduate attachment from which the
fluid can be drawn off in the desired
quantity without much effort. The
graduate tube is connected to the
stock or storage bottle proper by
tiny tube. which terminates In
spout fitted with valve manipula-
ted by handle. The valve handle IS
connected by wire, or rod, to
vent at the top Of the graduate. In
asmuch as under ordinary circum-
stances the graduate Is tightly seal
ed, the liquid in the storage resor-
yor cannot flow into the graduate
until this vent IS opened, so that the
necessary air may enter. In turning
the valve the liquid is not discharged
from the spout until two small holes
in it are in register so that any
quantity can be drawn off into the
graduate without lifting the bottle
from the shelf.

To the Editor of The Star:
The appearance of the eminently respecta-
BILE Star tissue of August 7th) of the article
"Officer and Enlisted Man" is one ito make
the judicious grieve.
The punishment of the officer was OBJ
viously not for his vtuperation of the SOL
dier-which the fellow probably deserved
but for the brutality of addressing 1t to the
mans mother.
Were an enlisted man to write or even to
publish. letter roundly berating an officer
who had treacherously abandoned the serv-
Ice he would not thereby commit a military
offense and certainly would incur no pen
atty whatever.
The imputation that 1.-The spirit of con-
tempt for the man who carries gun is en-
tertained by many officers is conspicuousy
untrue as to the United States Army. The

d pendent. and their interests are largely
identical.
But the deserter-the perjured sneak who
throws down the gun and runs away-is ut

WOMAN CAPTURES BURGLAR.
Rips Off His Shirt, Sits on Him and
Sends for Police.

NEW YORK, August 13.-Not content
with catching George Marthesi, eighteen
years old, of 459 East 149th street, who
broke into her home at LIST street and Have
meyer avenue, Westchester, early yester-
day, Mrs Margaret BOSNIAN tore his shirt
into strips, made a rope of them and tied
him securely. When the police arrived some
time later they found Marthesi done up in
a neat package, all ready for delivery.
Mrs. BOSNIAN thought she heard noise
in one of the rooms shortly before daylight
She listened and when she made sure she
started for the room, only to be confronted
by Marthesi. who is stock:ly built. Although
an elderly woman, her courge did not de-
sert her Without an instant's hesitation
she grabbed the intruder and started pun
melting him.
He fought back blackening one of her
eyes, but she hung on like grim death.
Finally she bore him to the ground with an
avalanche of swings and scratches. When
she got him down Mrs. BOSNIAN called for
her daughter Ida, and the two women tore
the burglars shirt off his back and bound
his wrists and ankles. He pleaded hard for
his liberty, but Mrs. BOSNIAN refused to
listen.
While Ida went to the Westchester police
station the brave woman sat on Marthesi
until Detective Dwyer and several police
men came and took him away
In Morrisania court Manifest admitted his
guilt and he was held for trial. The police
saw he stands an excellent chance of going
into retirement fer some time to come.
