MARRIAGE IN MEXICO. How the Engagement and Wedding Ceremonies Are Celebrated. The Mexican people are hospitable to a fault, always welcoming their friends even though they have not enough to eat themselves. And they religiously visit the sick, including those who have contagious diseases. They are also addicted to public social functions, the invariable mode of entertainment being the dance. They are fond of music, though not proficient in the art of making it, probably more from lack of opportunity than from lack of capacity. The violin and guitar are the usual instruments of music, the repertory of the local musicians being usually limited to a few tunes which are in equal demand for the dance and for the funeral. One of the most interesting and beautiful of the social functions is the pendorlo. When a young man wishes to marry he asks for the girl of his choice of the parents, not of the girl herself, and if she is given the pendorlo at once follows, ushered in by shooting and demonstrations of joy. The bride and bridegroom are publicly presented to their future parents-in-law, after which the company pass in procession in front of the couple, each one dropping a piece of money into the hands of the bride. Then follows the inevitable dance. This public betrothal is considered almost as binding as marriage, and I have heard of but one instance in which the compact was not kept, the recreant bridegroom in that case being visited with ostracism. The betrothal is usually followed by marriage just as soon as the services of the priest can be secured. The marriage ceremony is followed by a feast more notable for the abundance of things to drink than for things to eat and by the usual dance. Indeed the festivities are often prolonged for several nights after the wedding. THE AGE OF STARS. Color Aids the Astronomer In Making His Calculations. As a star contracts from the surrounding nebulous matter from which it was thrown off its temperature rises, and with this augmented heat occurs a change both in the star's spectrum and color. Redhot iron is not nearly so hot pair of chopsticks, and you're in terror lest you spill something on the daunting white matting floor. Now the floor of a Japanese house isn't just the floor; it's the chairs and sofas and tables and beds as well. At home it would be mortifying enough to go out to dinner and spill something on the floor, but in Japan, where people sit and sleep on the floor, it seems even worse. So you are unhappy till your little son (who is the waitress and almost prettily dressed as the dancing girls, but not quite) comes laughing to your aid and shows you how to hold your chopsticks. After that you manage nicely the rice and the omelet, but the fish and the chicken you can't contrive to shred apart without dropping your chopsticks all the time. So between dances the maiko—the little girls about twelve years old—kneel down beside you and help you. They can't keep from giggling at your awkwardness, but you don't mind; you just giggle, too, and everybody giggles and has a lovely time.—St. Nicholas. LOST IN THE AIR. Birds at Times Get Confused and Lose Their Bearings. Boys are frequently lost in the woods, and it is a singular fact that birds are sometimes lost in the air. This might seem strange to almost any one, but the average man is a superficial observer of little things. In the far north, and particularly along the ocean coasts, birds are frequently storm driven and lose their bearings, so that many of them are lost at sea. They keep floating in the air, aimlessly striving to live until exhaustion compels them to drop into the angry waves, which engulf them. There is a well authenticated case on record of an ocean liner bringing into New York on a winter's day a large white owl which had dropped to one of the forward spars in an exhausted condition more than 800 miles off the coast of Newfoundland. It was nearly dead from cold and hunger and almost too weak to eat anything. It had become much emaciated and trembled in its distress when it tried to swallow the first morsel of meat which was placed within its beak. The captain and sailors were all interested in it, and under their nourishing care it slowly recovered and became entirely well and healthy and strong. It will THE AGE OF STARS. Color Aids the Astronomer In Making His Calculations. As a star contracts from the surrounding nebulous matter from which it was thrown off its temperature rises, and with this augmented heat occurs a change both in the star's spectrum and color. Redhot iron is not nearly so hot as white hot iron. By observing the various changes in tint which the metal undergoes the foundryman is able to tell with considerable accuracy its degree of heat. A somewhat similar method of gauging a star's temperature, and therefore its age, is relied upon by the astronomer. Color, then, and spectroscopic analysis enable the astronomer to estimate the age of orbs that are only beginning to exist as stars and others whose light is fading. After having coagulated, as it were, from a nebulous mass, a star assumes a color that may be best described as an intense bluish white, much like that of the electric arc. Stars of that hue are, therefore, in their infancy. Then comes the white stage, followed by the yellow, orange and red, each succeeding hue indicating greater celestial antiquity than the last. Up to the yellow period the star as it contracts grows hotter and hotter. Then a gradual cooling takes place. Accompanying the changes in color are changes in the spectrum of the star—changes that indicate a modification in physical structure. In the bluish white period of a star's infancy the characteristic wide lines of hydrogen gas predominate in the spectrum. As the color changes, the lines of calcium, magnesium and iron appear, the hydrogen lines gradually becoming thinner and those of calcium broader. — Booklovers Magazine. Traffic In Human Skin. The skin grafting experiments which have been so successful of recent years have led to a new form of livelihood, which is fairly remunerative. Several of the London hospitals have on their books the names and addresses of many men and women who have undertaken to sell portions of their cuticle whenever the necessity arises, and it is said that quite a regular traffic is now being done in the buying and selling of human skin. The persons who are willing to sacrifice their flesh for money are by no means confined to the poor and destitute class. — London Mail. The Postal Union. The first step toward the formation of the postal union, which has had such wide results, came from Germany in the shape of a proposal for an international postal congress. This met at Berne in 1873, when twenty-two countries joined the union, including the whole of Europe. A second congress met in Paris in 1878, when ten other countries came in, and the official title, "International Postal Union," was definitely fixed. Its sphere was further enlarged at congresses at Lisbon in 1885 and at Vienna in 1891. There is a well authenticated case on record of an ocean liner bringing into New York on a winter's day a large white owl which had dropped to one of the forward spars in an exhausted condition more than 800 miles off the coast of Newfoundland. It was nearly dead from cold and hunger and almost too weak to eat anything. It had become much emaciated and trembled in its distress when it tried to swallow the first morsel of meat which was placed within its beak. The captain and sailors were all interested in it, and under their nourishing care it slowly recovered and became entirely well and healthy and strong. It willingly remained with the ship afterward. It was evidently a land bird which had been blown off from the coast of Newfoundland by strong west winds, had lost merely drifted before the gales, kept out of the water, almost starved to death and made its last intelligent effort to reach the ship and there fell in exhaustion and collapse. Old sailors narrate many other instances of finding birds that have been lost in the air. — St. Louis Republic. No Paupers In Japan. With all our high wages and boasted civilization the fact remains that you will see more wretchedly poor in any of our great cities in a day than you will see in Japan in a lifetime. In other words, you will see no destination in Japan. Though some are very poor, yet all seem to be well fed, clothed and housed and are invariably cheerful and, what is more surprising, invariably clean. There are no paupers in Japan and therefore no workhouses or poor houses, though there are many hospitals where the sick are healed gratuitously. Practically every one can earn a living. Would that we could say the same! — Pall Mall Gazette. Dust and Consumption. Dusty work seems to be responsible for consumption to a marked degree. In 2,161 cases of consumption treated at the sixty institutions of the German empire 1,095 patients had been employed in a dusty environment. The kind of dust was not stated in 431 cases; in 182 cases it was metal dust; in 129, stone, coal or glass dust; in 116, wood dust; in 111, wool dust; and in 126, various other kinds of dust.

If it's Your First Japanese Meal You Will Have a Trying Time. If it's your first Japanese dinner you're having a dreadfully hard time. In the first place you must sit on the floor, for they don't have any chairs in Japan. You kneel down, and then you turn your toes in till one laps over the other, and then you sit back between your heels. At first you are quite proud to find how well you do it, and you don't think it's so very uncomfortable. But pretty soon you get cramped, and your legs ache as if you had a toothache in them. You don't say anything, because you think that if the Japanese can sit this way all day long you ought to be able to stand it a few minutes. Finally both your feet go to sleep, and then you can't bear it a moment longer, and you have to get up and stamp around the room to drive the prickles out of your feet, and all the little dancing girls giggle at you.

Palms and Evergreens An open letter urging that trees and plants whose leaves remain green throughout the winter be planted in California for ornamental purposes has been sent out by an up-state organization which has given the subject much attention. Non-deciduous trees for ornamental purposes attract visitors from the frozen east and are California's pride. Such trees are the best evidence of California's climate and attract impress visitors from the east. The letter is as follows: "This organization urges you to kindly use your good efforts for the planting of non-deciduous trees and plants for ornamental and shade purposes in preference to deciduous trees. There is nothing which so pleases and impresses the visitor from the frozen east as to find everything green in California and the leaves growing upon the trees in winter time. Trees like maples and elms, while highly orna-mental, look particularly dreary and out of place in California in the winter time when all other leaves are green. Leafless trees almost give our eastern guest a wrong conception of the climate of the state. In his mind leafless trees are associated with winter. There is a vast area in California where non-deciduous trees and plants can be grown with success and regions possessing the requirements for these should make the most of their advantages. What can be more pleasing to the eastern visitor to come into a California city in winter and find the trees bordering the avenues all in green foliage, while the lawns of the residences show great ornamental palms. Peppers are a tree well liked by many. Such a prospect is worth thousands of dollars to any city. The growing of non-deciduous trees and plants, of palms and kindred growths of the semi-tropic zones is the best advertisement that California could have.

Almost every medieval monarch claimed the whole or a part of the dominions of almost every other and insisted on inserting his claim in his list of official titles. In treatises and all official documents the whole list was religiously copied, and as it often happened that the two negotiating monarchs had some of the same titles it became usual to insert a clause in the list, non praejudicando, in order to indicate that, no matter how absurd, inappropriate or untrue were the titles, they were understood to be inserted because they pleased the monarch who claimed them, that they did not confer a valid claim, and so no harm was likely to result from their use. An Ingenious Scheme. A story is told of a Chicago girl whose verses were always "declined with thanks" who hit upon the following unique plan for having them published. She would send a line of verse from one of her poems to the query column of some newspaper and ask from what poem such a line came, the name of the poem and of the author. A friend, also a rhymester, would send the querist's own poem to the paper with the desired information, and of course it would appear in print. The querist would do the same for the friend and so on until between them they had all their "poems" printed. Give us your order for burned leather and wood work early. Hutchinsons' Drug Store.

The following rather curious piece of composition was placed upon the blackboard at a certain teachers' institute and a prize of a dictionary offered to any person who could read it and pronounce every word correctly. The book was not carried off, as twelve was the lowest number of mistakes in pronunciation made: "A sacrilegious son of Bellal who has suffered from bronchitis, having exhausted his finances in order to make good the deficit, resolved to ally himself to a comely, lenient and docile young lady of the Malay or Caucasian race. He accordingly purchased a calliope and coral necklace of a chameleon hue and securing a suit of rooms at a principal hotel he engaged the head waiter as his coadjutor. He then dispatched a letter of the most unexceptional calligraphy extant, inviting the young lady to a matinee. She revolted at the idea, refused to consider herself sacrificable to his desires and sent a polite note of refusal, on receiving which he procured a carbine and bowle knife, said that he would not now forge fetters hymeneal with the queen and went to an isolated spot, severed his jugular vein and discharged the contents of the carbine into his abdomen. The debris was removed by the coroner." The mistakes in pronunciation were made on the following words: Sacrilegious, Bellal, bronchitis, exhausted, finances, deficit, comely, lenient, docile, Malay, calliope, chameleon, suit, coadjutor, calligraphy, matinee, sacrifice, carbine, hymeneal, isolated, jugular and debris. The Triumphant Spider. A little garter snake about five inches long went to sleep in a wheelwright shop, and a big black spider spun a web around the reptile. When the little snake awoke it was literally in the toils and began to struggle. It finally managed to free its body, but not its head. Meanwhile the spider was industriously spinning fresh threads, stopping occasionally to give the snake a bite. Then the real fight commenced and lasted for an hour. The snake could not get away, but it tried its best to bite the spider, without avail. Weakened by its futile efforts and the successive stings of the insect, it gradually ceased to struggle and finally died. Then the spider, presumably triumphant, disappeared under the wall.
