The Philosophy of Weddings.

The social philosopher, who inter
ested in the ways of men and women,
sets out to analyze the human traits
seen in modern weddings, of course
finds the most abundant material in
June. the month Of high tide of ma
ture's beauty. n,,,,,
Perhaps the first impression is the
amount of horse play which the hu-
NOR loving American people tolerate.
Probably in no other country do wo-
men in delicate silk gowns crawl
down dirty coal holes in order to
get admission to churches where no
tables are being married.
In no other country are bride
grooms kidnapped. !, Nowhere else is
1T considered good form to pursue
a retreating couple to the hotel
where they encounter the embarras-
sing mysteries of the wedding night.
1t is partly for this reason, partly
ON account of fuss and feathers,
that Father and the bridegroom are
growing more and more favorable
to Opponents.
In the circles supposed to belong
to Society" all the Faraphernalia
OF bridesmaids and flowers and
spreads and fayors are but little out
side the regular machinery of life
They are comfortably handled, if the
price can be raised or borrowed. But
among many simple hearted people,
a splurge is made that is remote and
foreign to the ordinary habits OF
life.
Houses are thrown into turmoil
santil Father can scarcely find a closet
4ree from encumbrance of fluffy bri-
dial material. After 1t is over, it is
found that the best damask sofa
rs ruined by a mayonaise sandwich
III takes about year for the furni-
ture and decorations to recover.
Young men from the country
make furtive trips to the Old Clio
man to hire dress suits. There IL
anxious searching of the etiquette
books by the feminine element. Prob
ably more and more people are now
realizing the bad form of an elabora'
ton out of line with ones ordinary
habits. But a great many people
spend more on weddings than they
can afford.

RAGTINIE DOOMED.
Musicians of State Going to Con.
Vention to Make War on 1t.

Davenort, Ia, June 5.-Exit rag
time Its swan song is now in
composition. No more will its syn
copated lure put the classics in the
background. Popular fancy must
bow to the artistic. All this will
come to pass if the Iowa music
teachers. have their way at the an
nual convention to be held in
Muscatine June II, Is and 10.
Alarmed by the constantly in
creasing deluge of ragtime music
due to the impetus given its popu-
larity by the vogue of tango dane
ing and other ultra modern devel-
ppments of terpsichorean art, the
music teachers are prepared to do
battle in behalf of the classics.
Members of the society declare
If Wagner, Beethoven, Mozart,
Bach, Chopin, List and other
masters were to return, to earth
and drop into theater, music
the deluge of dejointed tone convul-
sions would drive them to pad
ded cell in record time.
The teachers are convinced that
If the high standard of music is
80 be preserved, drastic measures
must be adopted. They hold to
the theory that the light fiippant
characteristics of ragtime cannot
but have a tendency to deteriorate
the mind and character Of a child.
On the other hand they contend
1hat if the better class of music pre-
dominates, the growing nation is
bound to be better, both morally
and mentally.
Music shapes character. The is
sue is vital. Something must be
done and the Iowa teachers intend
to do it.

Assouan is a place of about twenty
thousand beings. 1t has some beau
tiful winter hotels and they receive
quite a patronage from rich tourists
who look for dry climate for pull
monary troubles.
Arriving at our boat we have the
opportunity OF observing the wild
appearing natives of this country. We
have become acquainted with a young
French banker living here and he
srends the evening with US on the
boat; he describes the unpleasant
conditions prevailing here most of
the year, the terrible heat that would
blister ones hand in FIVE minutes in
the middle of the day. He says that
no work is possible from nine until
seven, that they close their bank
during the day and only open NOR
ring and evening; insect life is al
most unbearable. We found it nee
essary to wear our wells, as there is
small fly that no persuasion will
detract from you. We saw these flies
on the natives like cattle flies and
with hundreds around their eyes
and mouth they would not even try
to brush them off, seeming perfectly
content 10 let them clean them up.
At the landing came great crowds
OF peddlers with their strange wares
and our party loaded their baggage
with their curious work.
This work, largely made from the
inner bark of the date palm, shows
much ingenuity. The people doing
this work are the natives OF Abys-
sinia and here called Bicharins. They
are the dirtiest people l have ever
seen. Our informant said they never
wash, and from the stencil surround
| ing them l believe it true. They tat
too their entire body, making some
fearful marks, wear great ivory rings
in the ears and nose, they wear their
hair in long curls twisting in wool
and greasing with goats butter. We
have seen nothing called human so
foul. We bought some of their bas-
kets but felt them menace for
some days.
To that mind that thirsts for
knowledge Egypt presents a great
GrlI he 4
for the many hardships endured in
visiting these places of interest.
We will not farther tire you with
Egypt, but in our next will be on
our good ship Rotterdam, bound for
Italy, that country that for genera
tions ruled all the world We will
try and describe those remains Of
that wonderful age.
