A Flower that Blooms in
the Sierra Mountains,

one thing that fails to interest all who
see it, when it is found the mountain heights
OF the Sierras, is the plant, known to bot
anlsts as the Sarcodes sanguinea, meaning blooded
flesh. No flesh or blood could be as eNqusitely
beautiful; imagine rosy and snow tinted, crowd
ed hyacinth from eight to twenty inches in height
every miniature bell wound about by a rosy and
frosted silver ribbon, all topped by huge head of
asparagus in hoar frost and silver The frosted
papia is very marked every sepa and bract.
Though the whole translucent spike is flushed with
rose and carmine, the petals are the deepest and
most brilliantly colored parts of the flower, which
is five parted, and each open showing slightly
the stamens and pists.
There have been seen specimens bearing eighty
perfect flowers and psuedo-bulb twenty-five inch
es in circumference, brittle almost as spun glass
and although solid as pineapple when first dug
up dried away to the size of the stem All attempts
at cultivation have thus far failed, the bulbs re-
fusing to stand transpantng and the seeds to
sprout. 1t was once said that they would not sur
vive below the level of the summer snow line but
they have been since seen almost covering the
ground far below. The snow banks seem, however,
to protect them from the winds sweeping among
the mountains and they make their early growth
and development beneath the driven SHOWS and
when the approach of summer leaves the surface
of the ground exposed it is covered in a few DAYS
with the red crowns of the plants

Among the Romans marriage celebrated
until augury had been consulted and its auspices
had proven favorable On her wedding day the
bride dressed in a long white robe adorned
with ribbons purple fringe, and round her waist
she Wore grdle of wool, which the most inn
portant part of her wedding tinery Her
nuptias, bridal wreath, made of verbenas
gathered by herself, and under bright
yellow vail, which half raised as the last words
of the ceremony We're spoken, that the hair on her
forehead might be parted by the tip of warriors
she meeky approached her husband who, in the
presence of the assembled company, unloosened the
girdle of wool a sign of her abandonment of
virgin condition. and nuptial kiss completed the
ceremony.
The ceremonies of the ancient Germans were
simple, and consisted chiefly in feastng and merry
making A young man could scarcely hope for an
honorable alliance until he had distinguished him
self in war. The bridegroom having made his
selection, sent mutual friend to the brides
father and, as was customary in those days, learned
what price set upon his daughter and the
amount OF her doWry. II satisfactory terms could
be made, the friend received her and her portion.
and, attended by this guardian she was conducted
to her new home. Here they linked together
by the arms and legs and supported between them
dancing their letters. The man held a spade
and the woman distaff and SPINDLE and in the
presence of their friends they pledged fidelity to
each other and drank to their gods and heroes
The brides friends then took her upon their Shout
derS and carried her to the nuptial chamber The
custom OF the morgengabe or morning gift is still
in vogue in many places and it is supposed to be
some piece of jewelry or money to commemorate
the day

Not as many as half of the worlds workers pick

c2Narriage Customs.
BY Albert Gilman.

In few ways does the genius OF people display
itself more enthusiastically than in the cere-
monies with which it surrounds marriage and few
things are more interesting to study. Among the
early nations the choice of bride devolved, not
the bridegroom himself, but upon his relatives
some friend deputed by him for the purpose.
and while his wishes always respected in
regard to the one selected he was not known in the
affair until all the arrangements We're completed.
Occasionally when the lady superior in rank
or wealth, son-in-law was selected by the father.
In such instances the girl consulted, but
bargained for without her knowledge and if
the husband thus chosen proved an unfit lord and
master he was held TO account by the relatives. In
either the selection Immediately followed
by berotha and presents betittng the rank and
wealth of the groom We're given to the bride-elect
and her family.
The Jews had certain days set apart for the sol
emnlzlng OF marriage, and this custom has perhaps
been the origin of many of the superstions of the
present day With them Thursday was set apart
for widows. who seemed to WELD great sway
and be much sought for in the twentieth
century. Wednesday was set apart for madens
not because it was considered the luckest day in
the week but because the Sanhedrm held its
meetings Thursday, and therefore the newly
red man could, the following day, bring his
wife before the meeting, if he had any cause for
complaint against her.
The Greek ceremony attended with much
ostentation At BRotha and other places the axle
tree of the brides carriage burned upon the
arrival at the brdegroom's house a sign that
the bride was not to return or go abroad. Upon
entering the house the married pair received the
greetings and congratulations of the friends who
waiting to meet them, and as no civil rite
connected with marriage was required by the Greek
law, to witness to the fact of the marriage having
taken place. The bride was generally conducted
into the house by her mother, who bore lighted
torch. A servant carried sieve, and the bride
herself bore vessel in which was parched barley
a symbol OF her readiness to attend to her house
hold duties. Sweetmeats showered upon the
pair as emblems of plenty and prosperity, and a
final kiss confirmed the nuptials. The bride wore
wreaths OF myrtle. wild thyme and roses, which
and been plucked by herself, as it would have been
an i'll omen to buy them. After the banquet which
followed, over. the husband and wife ate a
ounce as an indication that their mutual rela-
tionship would be sweet and agreeable

Deafness Cannot be cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only II way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube is in
famed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed Deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal
condition hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by Catarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition Of the mucous surfaces.
