STRANGE Weddinu Custom.

Among the Lolos of Western China
it is customary for the bride on the
wedding morning to perch herself on
while the elder female members of
her family cluster on the lower limbs
armed with sticks. When all are
duly stationed the bridegroom clam
bers up the tree, assailed on all sides
by blows. pushes and pinches from
the dowagers, and it is not until he
has broken through their fence and
captured the bride that he is al.
lowed to carry her OFF.

THE DEMAND FOR UMBRELLAS.
Changing Weather Ideal from the
Salesman's Point of View.

Naturally" said the umbrella
salesman, 1--WE sell more umbrellas
when it rains than when 1t doesn't,
but ideal weather for the retail UNI
brella trade would be found in a
constant succession of days that
started bright and clear and wound
up stormy.
ITO be sure we sell more or less
umbrellas all the time, on clear days
as we'll as on rainy. In time Of
peace prept 'e for war, you know,
and that sort Of thing, and there are
people who buy their umbrellas and
have them ready; but 1t is on such
a day as have described that we
sell the most umbrellas.
You take bright and sunny and
lovely day that promises to stay SO
and that holds so until along in the
afternoon, a day on which the streets
and the stores are filled with shop
pers. and then let storm come up,
taking people unawares-then we
sell umbrellas.
"On such a day we have custom
ers here standing along the umbrel-
la counter perhaps two or three
deep, people buying umbrellas; on
such a day we sell hundreds of UNI
brellas in one afternoon. It's an i'll
wind that blows nobody good, don't
you know? The rainy days are the
bright days in the umbrella busi-
ness"

One does not have to think back
many years to recall the clumsy gossa-
mers in which we enveloped ourselves
when the rains descended" And
then a look at these dainty new pom
gee capes for stormy days! One in
voluntarily makes mental compari-
son. Somebody has been busy with
the CLOTHES question"
These newest of rain protectors are
simply circular capes of that very use
full silk, pongee. But before being
made up the silk has been treated to
some secret process which makes 1t
impervious to showers and yet does
not cause it to be stiff or ungraceful.
There is not only the natural color,
but one sees black and several other of
the new shades.
High standup collars finish them
and there is often a great button or
two of shining jet to add little note
of distinction.

Some Odd Facts in Geography.

New York is usually thought of as
being directly west from London. It
is, however, despite its far more rig
orous climate, nine hundred miles
nearer the equator than is the British
capital. The bleak coast of Labrador
is directly west of London. The same
line passes the southern part of Hud
son Bay and Lake Winnipeg; on the
other side of the continent it touches
through the centre of the Isthmus of
Kamchatka, and Siberia and Russia,
to Homburg. 1t is astonishing, like
wise, to reflect on the fact that Mon
treal, with its inters of great sever
ity,, is three hundred and fifty miles
nearer the equator than is London.
Montreal, indeed, is on the same de-
gree of latitude as Venice. Another
Illustration of the unexpected in con-
trasts is found in a comparison of st.
Johns, Newfoundland, with Paris.
Paris has a winter of comparative
mildness, while st. Johns is a region
of bitter cold and fogs, with drifting
icebergs along its coast. Yet st.
Johns is one hundred miles nearer
the equator.-Dunde Advertiser.

The Modest Third,

Early in the Congressional career
of Mr.. Blaine. says a writer in the
New York Tribune, when Thaddeus
Stevens died, who for ten years had
dominated Congress, Mr.. Blaine, who
entered the House the same year as
the late Senator Allison, remarked to
friend in the rotunda of the Capitol,
"The death of Stevens Is an emanci-
patton for the Republican party. He
kept it under his heel"
Whom have you got left for lead
ers?" queried the friend.
There are three young men com.
ing forward" was Mr.. Blaine's reply
There is young man to be heard
FROM" pointing to Allison, who was
passing. James A. Garfield is an
other"
There was a pause, and the friend
asked, We'll, who is the third?"
Mr.. Blaine gaze up in the dome,
and said quietly, Il don't see the
third"

A blind street musician, reports a
Chinese paper, stood on the shore Of
river, puzzled how to cross the
stream. He implored an oil dealer,
who happened to come along, to as
sist him. The oil dealer had pity on
the helpless man. took him on his
shoulders, gave him his money bag
to hold and carried him across. When
he deposited his burden on the other
shore the blind man refused to re-
turn him his money bag, raised a
noise and declared that the money
was his property. The matter came
before the judge, and each man said
on oath that the money belonged to
him. The judgc finally ordered the
bag of money emptiec into a water
tank, and then suddenly announced
that the oil dealer was the owner.
When asked for the reason for his
decision, he de, Jared that the money
of the oil dealer must certainly show
traces of his business, and indeed,
on the surface of the water traces of
oil were found.

ANIMAL SLAUGHTER IN FRANCE
Strict Inspection to Be Sure They are
not Diseased.


Requests for information regarding
sausage castings in France having been
sent to the United States Consul Gen.
eral in Paris, he replies that no spe-
cial supervision is given to entrails,
but that no animal may be slaughter
ed for food there unless it has first
been under veterinary inspection. If
it has been found sound the viscera
are also regarded safe without further
examination.
When COW, hog or sheep proves
to be afflicted with disease when
killed, steps are taken to prevent it's
use as food. If the disease Is not
contagious the body is impregnated
with petroleum. II the animal suffers
from a disease which may be trans
mitted, body, hide, entra!ls, horns and
hoofs must be burned. Cattle which
show traces of tuberculosis are treat
ed with petroleum but no restriction
is put on the ordinary uses of the
hide horns and noofs. In come cases
where the meat is destined for use in
menageries the authorities refrain
from applying oil, but supervise the
business of feeding the carnivorous
animals for which the meat is in
tended.
These regulations apply to the cat
tie, hogs and sheep sold by farmers to
rural butchers, as well as to the ami
mails slaughtered for food in big cities.

Still the Picture Hat.

The classical large hat that never
goes really out of fashion will be seen
this summer for large functions and
ceremonious occasions.
1t is trimmed this season with bou-
quet of ostrich tips, set far back at the
left side and at the back.
Instead Of the tips, the long "ama-
zone" is sometimes used, but the tips
are the newest and smartest.
More science goes to the placing of
these feathers than might be imag-
ined. The balance of the silhouette de-
pends greatly on the trimming of the
hat, and 1t is her understanding of
this principle that Eakes the Partisan
milliner so successful.

DON'T MARROW YOUR LIFE.
The Fuller the Life With Kindly In.
terest the Happier.

tefeSV tne Usppters
A woman said: "Pm getting so
Just hate to meet strangers. would
rather walk around the block a dozen
times than meet some one whom
would have to talk to for half an
hour. like my family and friends.
but / don't want any outsiders about"
She was only about thirty, but she
was acquiring an earmark of age.
And that is unwise for any one and
particularly the woman in business.
The matter of making new friends
and acquaintances has two sides, and
it is a subject not to be dismissed
lightly.
No one can afford to give all her
time even to, friends, and to fritter it
away on casual acquaintances is de-
plorable. Time is the gold that is
given us freely.
But, on the other hand, 1t is unwise
to shut oneself away entirely from
making new acquaintances, to live SO
content with ones present circle of
friends that no message from other
worlds can reach you.
The woman who does this is going
to narrow her life. Whether she is the
mother of a family, business woman
or a young girl just facing the world,
she will shut out interests that may
mean help, inspiration, happiness. Ev-
cry life is little world, and you do
not know what message may come to
you from the stranger you welcome to
your gates.
One grows or stagnates. Stagnation
is not good for any one. To be in
touch with the progress Of the world
one must keep In touch with the life
that makes 1t progress, and every man
and woman plays some part In this.
One may not make friend Of the
casual acquaintance. One may not
have time for nll who cross ones path,
but to deliberately shut out every one
is unwise.
If there is the least inclination to do
this the tendency Is apt to grow on one
until 1t becomes n fixed habit. 1t may
come in the beginning from inertia,
from morbidness. Whatever the cause,
If you find you are facing in that d.
rection pause awhile and see If you
want the narrow, isolated, few inter
ests life to which it will surely lead
you.
The fuller the life with human kind
ly interests the happier. Few have
such resources within themselves that
all the riches of this wonderful life are
theirs In their own experience.

flannel is niSe for growing girls. Suits

moment is IL shape in coarse, dim
straw, prettily draped around with a

paca is suggested for children Of from
four to ten years old. The little collar
