He sees the good in every one,
Their faults he never mentions:

To cultivate the friendship of

Good Reading for Sunday

sleep and suddenly they have opened
their eyes to q new world.
Nothing on all that trip through a
new country SO impressed the news
paper men as the meeting with the
people of Johnstown who had driven
seven miles across a country of deep
canyons and most picturesque wild
wood to witness the event of their
lives.
In that section of country the peo-
pie are pioneering today as they did
fifty years ago, and they have been
happy and %contented, seemingly in
different to the uproar of the metro
polls beyond the mountains. They
have led the simple life so long that
they would shrink from the lure of a
city, lending added comfort in their
homes by reason of having seen the
struggle for existence which modern
progress infiicts.

Was Silent Thirty-one Years.

Silas Hoffman, the strange man of
Bedminister, who kept his bed while
apparently in perfect health and re-
fused to speak for thirty-one years,
is dead.
He passed away without breaking
the silence which he had preserved
for so long a time. but just before
he died he made an effort 10 speak TO
his devoted sister, Mrs. Margaret
Lane. who cared for him i nhis lonely
habitation throughout his eccentric
career. II was too late, however, the
years of silence had deprived him of
the power of articulation.
Hoffman's strange conduct had
made him a subject of comment
among the country people of Bed
minister Township so many years
that he had ceased to be an object of
curiosity 10 his neighbors, who were
inclined to shield him from public
gaze, and ever now are attempting
TO keep his death a secret, out of
fear that IL would cause a curious
crowd to gather there from all the
countryside.
He was 81 years old. Whether he
was insane was never determined, al
though he had been examined by a
score of physicians, with a view to
ascertaining his metal condition. His
eternal silence and his blank smile
baffled all a~lienists, and physicians
often said he could not be declared
insane, as his condition was appar-
emily normal.
Hoffman was one of five sons of a
prosperous farmer of Bedminster
Township. The other four are liv-
ing and are prominent in the agricul-
tural and business life of Somerset
county.
Hoffman spent his early life like
his brothers. on his fathers farm. At
the age of 80 he possessed a farm
and was the owner OF a spanking
team of gray horses. of which he was
very proud. He was fond of society,
and was known all around as a gay
young
Misfortune overlook him. He lost
his farm and his pet team of horses
had TO be sacrificed. Inconsolable,
he vent TO bed and turnel his face TO
the wall. and for a long time refused
either to speak or eat. Food was
left on a table near his bed, and when
he was nearly starved he arose one
night from his bed and ate and took
a stroll out of doors.
lie continued TO arise each night
thereafter and eat and take a walk,
until one night when he slipped on
the ice and broke his arm. After
that accident he never arose from
his bed or passed out of the door.
IN all these years he was cared for
like an infant by his widow sister,
Mrs. Margaret Lane, out of her
scanty income and SO a week which
she received for his maintenance
from Bedminister township.
Physicians have been expecting
Hoffman to die every year for the
last decade from sheer inactivity.
His vitality for a number of years
has been so low that at times his
heart almost failed TO beat. and for
several days before his death his at
tending physician could moi detect
any pulse.-New York Tribune.

Japanese Weddings.

A Japanese Weuulnk always taxes
Mace in the sanctuary" which Is to
be found in every japanese home
the "tokonoma," or elevated place or
honor. This is decorated for the oc-
casion with symbolic articles, such as
nine. plum tree and bamboo, signify
ing long life, peace and honesty; rice
always offered TO the gods, and the
sake jugs from which the butter
flies (bridesmaids) pour out drink
for the happy couple.
Only ten persons are present at the
marriage-the bride and groom,
their parents. the go-between and his
wife and two butterflies" The
bride takes her place near the BRIDE
groom but. as BELTS her inferior
state, on a lower level. Her veil con-
ceals her face till the ceremony is
completed.
Presently the broker" tthe man
who has brought the couple to-
gether) makes formal announcement
OF the marriage, 10 the low-toned ac-
compartment of singers, without in
strumental accompaniment in an adj
joining room.
Ordinarily the japanese wedding
ceremony has neither religious nor
legal formality. In former times,
however. the priest took a large part
In the function, and there are indi
cations OF a return to this custom.
In 1900 for instance, at the marriage
of the crown prince, a solemn Shfnto
service was held within the sane
tuary of the imperial palace. Us
ually. however, says the Wide World
Magazine, the wedding ceremony is
simply a formal drinking of sake by
bride and bridegroom from the same
cup. This partaking of the rice wine
together is an act as solemn as drink
ing from the communion cup among
Christians.
Presently the butterflies pre-
pare TO fulfill their office. and on
Bonded knee present the two-spouted
cup of sake to the mouths of the
bride and bridegroom alternately,
this drinking from one cup signify
ing their future unity in JOY n
sorrow. From each of the three tiny
cups of different sizes the bride and
bridegroom each take three sips.
After the third cup the 'go-between'
announces that the ceremony Is end
ed. "Orio" and "thrysanthemum'
are now Mr.. and Mrs. Tamura, and
congratulations and feasting are the
order of the day. The room does
not kiss his bride in public; that in
Japanese eyes, would be unpardonab-
ly course and vulgar.
Removing her white veil. the
young wife rises from her seat be-
side the bridegroom and passes the
wine cup to the assembled friends.
Before the banquet she retires n
reappears in a different dress, repeat
ing this three or four times during
the dinner. If she comes from a rich
home. After the bride and bride
groom have taken their places every
body present approaches. bows TO
them and offers congratulations.
With each guest the happy pair are
supposed to drink a cup of wine, but
this is only pretence.
The wedding feast itself Is a splen-
did and costly aeair, with rice serv-
ed In countless different ways,
oysters broth and many other elabo-
rate dishes, washed down with not
and cold sake. But at last the guests
take their leave and the young couple
are left alone.

one of the best acts of its kind
