Welded THE DEAD.
Queer Marriage Ceremony That Was
Performed In Japan.

Queer Marriage Ceremony That Was
Performed In Japan.
The tragic ending OF Japanese
love story Is reported by the Japan
Chronicle from Tsuzuki. little seaside
village In the province of Shizuoka.
Ono Matsusaka. twenty years old.
fell in love with Ono O-bun, girl
seventeen years old. The young
couple sought the consent of their
parents. and the father and mother of
the girl refused to sanction the union.
The two lovers decided to commit sui
eide rather than be separated. By ap-
pointment they met at trysting place
that had been the scene of their love-
making and embarked in fishing
boat. At point some distance from
shore they bound themselves together
with some cloth brought along to serve
that purpose and threw themselves
into the sea.
Committing "shinju." as lovers sui
cides are called In japan, is such an
ordinary occurrence that little atten-
ton Is attracted by II. but this tragedy
was followed by something exceptional
in Japan.
When the two bodies. still bound to-
gether. were washed ashore the oth
cials who examined them turned them
over to their respective parents. The
villagers were so deeply affected that
they called upon the two bereaved
families to do justice" to the boy
and girl by uniting them in marriage
after death. The mayor of the village
was especially insistent that the rites
be performed 80 that the deceased
might be safely united In the mex
world" The parents agreed. the cere
mony was carried out In due form
and presents were exchanged between
the two families. The ceremony was
legally registered just as If 1t hat
taken place before the deaths of the
bride and bridegroom.
Lafcadio Hearn in his "Glimpses o.
Unfamiliar Japan" and "Gleanings Ii
Buddha-fields" never brought the at
tention of the occident to any Japa
nese custom or occurrence stranger
than this real happening that finds 1T
way into the columns of japanese
newspaper as a feature of the day.

Among its ancient treasures Is serv-
Ice of gold plate. Besides the ordi-

For canning peaches allow to every
eight quarts two pounds sugar and
three quarts water. Make a sirup

As soon as it boils skim carefully.
Meanwhile peel the peaches, pack in
sterilized glass Jars, milking sure be-
fore you begin that your rubbers are

the jar. Fill the hot jars with boil
ing sirup. 1t will require about pint
TO each quart jar. Adjust the glass
top half way over the jar, but do not
put on the rubber. Set the jars in
the oven in shallow pans half filed
with boiling water. Close the oven
door (and the oven should be only
moderately warm) and cook the fruit
fifteen minutes.
Take from the oven. Having adjusted
the rubbers, fiji each jar in turn with
the boiling sirup, which should have
been kept hot on the back of the stove.
Fill so full that the scalding liquid
runs over, then put on the top, wipe
and seal. Set the cans on board or
thickly folded paper out of draft
until cooled, when you can probably
tighten the top still more. This slrup
does not make the fruit sweet. If you
prefer to have 1t sweeter increase the
proportions of sugar. Peaches put up
this way in cans look better than when
cooked in a kettle, then dipped into the
can. When the peaches are large they
must be cut in halves, but leave in the
pits for flavor.
