Rehearsing Weddings.
Fashionable weddings are not only
very expensive, but they are enor¬
mously trying to the nerves. Of the
full dress rehearsals that precede them
the New York Telegram says:
The most amusing feature of a full
dress rehearsal of a fashionable wed¬
ding is the regulating the gait at which
the young couple are to proceed up
the aisle. Sometimes the bride and
bridegroom go up the aisle a dozen
different times, with different steps
ana degrees of rapidity, before they
hit upon what their circles of relatives
and near friends think the correct
tiling. The bride often tries half a
dozen positions and many more ex
pressions. In one position she leans
a little forward; in another she walks
erect. Whether she carries her head
on the right or left-hand side is eon
sidered important. The way the veil
looks best; the adjustment of the train
at the altar so that she can turn round
easily; the proper attitude in coming
back—these and various other matters
have to be considered and marked out
carefully in advance. These rehear¬
sals are of recent growth.

Fashion Notes*
Black silk beaded jerseys are favor¬
ite waists for young ladies’ black
dresses.
The mingling of two kinds of lace
is in good taste both for dress and bon¬
net trimmings.
Plaid and check goods are some¬
what used, but are preferred in very
dull and confused eolors.
Tan-colored silk stockings are worn
with the tan-colored gloves that are
part of many full dress toilets.
Turbans with a fur band and gath¬
ered cloth crowns are worn with red
ingotes of cloth trimmed with fur.
Dashes of red appear everywhere in
the toilet, from the plumes on the bon¬
net to the “ clocks ” of black silk hose.
Many of the buttoned boots are with
very pointed toes and foxed similar to
tlie iacel shoes which have been so
popular.
Pompon fringes are the latest,
though the chenille and plain silk
knotted are in steady demand and ex¬
tensively used.
Out-oi'-door costumes, plain or elab
orate, are frequently draped with a
large brooch or antique silver looping
the tunic or the scarf tablier.
Real bullion embroidery decorates
the dog collars of black velvet which
are worn with low dress waists, and
which greatly eneliance the fairness of
the complexion.
The fashionable fan is of large
ostrich feathers, mounted with shell,
amber, ivory or pearl, and ornamented
with a bird witli long tail plumage
falling on the sticks.
Gauze Balbriggan stockings are
worn inside of silk and cashmere
stockings, giving additional warmth,
and protecting the skin from the dye
or roughness of the outer stocking.
Very large masculine hats of beaver
plush are revived, the favorite trim
mings for them being a band around
the crown and a large buckle in front
or ostrich tips or plumes in a tuft on
the side.
The favorite visite has square close
sleeves and two thick box plaits with
lon» fronts, tied bv ribbons to form a
tassel ne,.r the foot. Brandenburgs
across the front and in the back are
the trimmings.
Black lace flounces and a back
drapery of a black lace shawl may Be
very effective on buttercup or jonquil
yellow dresses, but none but a married
woman or voting ladv in the thirties
should wear such dresses.
The trains and tabliers of dresses
of white-colored silk are embroidered
with English crewels in mixed color¬
ings, and have metallic threads intro¬
duced at intervals. The effect is ori¬
ental and very handsome.
been Buttercup and jonquil yellow have
discovered to be very becoming
evening colors, particularly when
trimmed with tinsel and white
marabout feathers, or with humming¬
bird and lmpeyan crest and neck
feathers.
The plain cloth and flannel suits are
made effective by embroideries of sou¬
tache braid, which is used in several
different widths for the same suit.
Crochet buttons are in vogue with
these costumes, and great quantities of
them garnish one suit.
In London felt hats are generally
adopted. Some are small, trimmed
with gossamer, caught together with
a bird’s plumage, sometimes tying
underneath the chin; or else large,
turned up on one side, with an ostrich
feather curling gracefully over the
brim at tlie back and showing at one
side. Folded bands of plush or velvet,
fastened with a handsome buckle, trim
the hat on the other side. Ladies who
cannot afford many hats wear black
felt, and alter the color of the folded
band of plush or velvet to match that
of the dress to be worn.
Eating a Live Fish.
Dressei, in liis “Japan,” gives this
account of a barbaric performance
which came under his observation;
Resting on a large Cutane dish is a
mat formed of rounds of glass held to¬
gether by plaited threads, on which is
a living fish with gills and mouth
moving regularly; at its back rises a
bank of white shreds resembling damp
isinglass, but in reality a colorless sea¬
weed, while the fish itself rests on
green alga:. In front is a pile of small
slices of raw fish garnished with a
radiating tuft of variegated bamboo
leaves. A portion of the raw fish
from the pile in front of tlie living
victim is now placed on a saucer
and passed to one guest, and so with
the rest, till the pile is consumed.
Then, to my disgust, the serving-maid,
not having enough in tlie pile for all.
raised the skin of the upper side of
the fish, which I now saw was already
loose, and simply picked up slice after
slice from the living creature, which,
although alive, had been already
carved; nay, even the pile of flesh
already served consisted of the
lower half of the creature’s body.
There is s refinement of bar¬
baric cruelty in At: this which con¬
trasts strangely with the geniality
and loving nature of the Japanese, for
with consummate skill the fish has
been so carved that no vital part has
been touched; the heart, the gills, the
liver and the stomach arc left intact,
while the damp algce on which the fish
rests suffice to keep the lungs inactic*.
The miserable object with lustrous eye
looks upon us while we consume its
own body; and rarely is it given to
any creature to put in alivipg presence
at its own entombment, but, if being
eaten is to be buried, this most miser¬
able of victims to man’s sensual plea¬
sure actually enjoyed (?) that cruelty rarest
of opportunities. This is
practiced only by the rich.
Healtlifiduess of Honey.
American people are lovers of sweet,
and consume an average of forty
pounds or more of sugar for every
man, woman and child of our popula¬
tion, says an exchange. To meet this
demand millions of dollars’ wortli of
sugar are imported annually, and
millions of dollars’ wortli of honey are
allowed to go to waste from want of
bees to collect and put it into proper
shape for use of man. It is not gen¬
erally known as it should be that
honey may be employed for sweeten¬
ing purposes instead of sugar for the
most of purposes for which the latter
* it
is used. But could we supply to
the extent of diminishing our imports
of sugar to one-haif their pres¬
ent proportions, millions of dollars
would be saved for tiie purposes of
business in our own country. But far
above all money considerations would
be tlie use of a pure sweet upon the
health of the people instead of the
vile compounds now sold as sugar and
syrups. The healthfulness of honey
as food has been admitted from the
earliest writers down through the cen¬
turies to the present times. Hence we
have nothing to fear from the use of
honey, while recent developments show
we have much to fear as to health in
the use of adulterated sugars and
syrups. But the price of honey in the
past has had much to do in keeping it
from the tables of men of limited
means who did not possess the work¬
ers to collect and store it for them.
Honey is a vegetable production,
appearing in greater or less quantities
in every flower that nods to the breeze
or kisses the bright sunlight in all this
heaven-favored land of ours. It is
secreted in the flower for the purpose
of attracting insects, thus securing the
complete fertilization of the female
blossoms. Hence it follows that all
t h e h one y we can secure in the hour
o£ presence in the nectaries of
q owe rs is clear gain from the domain
of nature .—Iovoa Homed-’ ai.

THE LAST H0UB.
Some Strange and Startling Facts Regard¬
ing Death.
A physician of Philadelphia has
made the phenomena of death a special
study; by careful observation and
lengthy consultation with his brother
doctors, he. has acquired a fund of in¬
teresting facts and suppositions re¬
garding the fatal moment which all
humanity sooner or later have to ex¬
perience.
“ One of the things of which I am
convinced.” said the doctor in conver¬
sation with a reporter, “ is that death
is painless. I mean that the moment
of dissolution approaches as uncon¬
sciously as sleep—the soul leaves the
world as painlessly as it enters it.
Whatever be the causes of death,
whether by lingering malady or sudden
violence, dissolution comes either
through syncope or resulting asphyxia. from In the
latter case, when dis¬
ease, tlie struggle is long, protracted
and accompanied by all the visible
marks of agony Which the imagination
associates with the closing scene of
life—the pinched and pallid features,
th 8 cold, clammy skin, the upturned
eye, and the heavy, laborious, rattling
respiration. Death does not strike all
the organs of the body at the same
time ; some may he said to
survive others, and the lungs
are the hist to give up the
performance of their functions.
As death approaches the latter become
gradually more and more oppressed;
the air cells are loaded with an in¬
creased quantity of the fluid which
naturally lubricates the surfaces; the
.atmosphere can then no longer come
into contact with the minute blood
vessels spread over the air cells with¬
out first permeating this viscous fluid
—hence tire rattle. Nor is the contact
sufficiently perfect to change the black
venous into the red arterial blood; an
unprepared fluid consequently issues
from the lungs into the heart, and is
thence transmitted to every other
organ of the body. The brain receives
it and its energies appear to he lulled
thereby into sleep—generally tranquil
sleep—filled with dreams which impel
the dying to murmur out the names of
friends and the occupations and recol¬
lections of past life. The rustic ‘bab¬
bles of green fields,’ and the hero ex¬
pires amid visions of battle.
Charge, Chester, charge: Marmion. on, Stanley, on!
Were the last words of
“ A very large number of deaths are
attributed to old age,” continued the
physician, “ yet few, even of the oili¬
est, die purely from exhaustion or
gradual decay; some positive disease,
in most cases, overwhelms the small
remains of vitality. Yet death from
actual old age is not impossible and
must be the sweetest deatli of all—a
sleep indeed that wakes in eternity. In
regard to longevity, it is asserted that
the United States is more favorable tv
long life than any other country. If I
cannot abide entirely by that opinion,
I can at least agree that this country
has and can produce ten centurians to
any one of any other land, and I think
Washington’s body servants affirm my
statement. The average of human life
is thirty-three years. One-quarter die
previous to the age of seven years,
one-lialf before reaching 17; so
those who pass their teens enjoy a fe¬
licity refused to one-half the human
species. In every 1,U00 persons only
1 readies beyond the nineties; in
every 100 only 6 reacli the age of 65
and not more than 1 in 500 lives to 80
years. Of the upwards of 1,000,000,000
inhabitants of the globe, one-third die
every year,91,824 every day,3,730 every
Lour and 60 every minute. Married
persons live longer than single; tall
men longer than short ones aid women
have more chances of l'fe in their
favor, previous to being 50 years of
age, than men have, hut fewer after¬
ward. Persons who are horn in spring
generally grow more robust than those
who come into the world at other sea¬
sons. Deaths are more frequent by
night than by day.”
“ Have the hours most fatal to life
ever been ascertained ?”
“ Yes, to a certain extent. I have
the data here of some very interesting
conclusions ascertained in 2,880 in¬
stances of death at all ages. The ex¬
amples are taken from all conditions of
life and during a period of 2,880 several
years. If the deaths of the had
occurred indifferently at any hour
during the 24 hours, 120 would have
occurred at each hour. But this was
by no means the case. There are two
hours in which the proportion was re¬
markably below this—two minama, in
; a ct—namely, from midnight to 1
o’clock, when the deaths were 83 per
cent, below the average, and from noon
to 1 o’clock, when they were 20 | per
cent below. From 3 to 6 o’clock a.
m., inclusive, and from 3 to 7 i\ m.,
there is a gradual increase in the
former of 23 i per cent above
the average, in the latter of 5| per
cent. The maximum of death is from
5 to 6 o’clock a. m., when it is 40 per
cent, above the average; the next dur
ins the hour before midnight, when it
is 25 per cent, in excess; a third hour
of excess is that from 0 tv 10 o'clock
in the morning, being 5 17!. per cent
above. From 10 a. . to 3 m ,u. the
deaths are less numerous, being
per Wore cent, below tlie average, the hour
noon being the ‘most fatal,
. rom 3 o’clock r. m. to 7 r. m. tin
deaths rise 51 per cent, above the aver
u“e, and the fall from that hour to 11

On one occasion a newspaper published
in Nashville was placed upon the gen¬

his eyes fell upon an article in which the
character of Mrs. J ackson was violently
assailed. So soon as lie had read it he
sent for his trusty old servant, Dun

“ Saddle my horse,” said he to him,
in a whisper, “ and put my holsters od

Mrs. Jackson watched him, and
though she heard not a word she saw
mischief in his eyes. The general
went out after a few moments, when
she took up the paper and understood
everything. She ran out to the south
gate of the Hermitage, by which the
general would have to pass. She had
not been there more than a few sec¬
onds before the general rode up with
the countenance of a madman. She
placed herself before the horse and
cried out:
“Oh, general, don’t go to Nashville 1
Let that poor writer live.”
“Let mo alone,” he replied; “how
came you to know what I was going
for?”
She answered: “I saw it in the
paper after you went out; put up your
horse and go hack.”
He replied furiously: “But I will go

saying that she was the one who

her persecutors from the bottom of

The Sun’s Heat.
In a recent contribution a writer
states that the present annual yield of
all the coal mines of the earth would
suffice to keep up the lire of the sun, at
its present intensity of light and heat,
for but the forty-millionth part of a
second, and that, if the entire earth
were made of coal, it would serve as a
fuel supply for feeding the solar fires
about thirty-six hours. On the other
hand, it has been calculated that, even
with no specific provision for restoring
the waste radiations of the sun, the
mass is so vast and the heat so enor¬
mous that it could go on cooling by
free radiation into space for what,
taken in reference to the usual method
of counting the lapse of time, would
be a very long period before any actual
Change of temperature could be per¬
ceived.
Scientists regard it as tolerably sure
that during the last three thousand
or four thousand years there lias not
been any appreciable diminution in
the heat communicated by the sun
to the earth. It is true that there
have not been any reliable records by
therinometric instruments for more
than a very small portion of that time’.
There are, nevertheless, records as
significant—namely, those furnished
by the distribution of vegetable life.
Thus, plants that required the sustained
tropical warmth of climate a genial and and approximately liberal
the same
allowance of solar influence that is now
communicated to the eartli were quite
as widely distributed upon the terres¬
trial surface and quite as vigorously
maintained ages ago as they are now,
the climate of Egypt being also then,
as now, habitable by man.

Fashionable women who are addicted
to dogs now make their little darlings
robes of the same material as their
own dresses, so the pair are exactly
matched, intellectually and socially. A
man habitually tied to a dog is a
boundless nuisance whom ’twere base
flattery to hit with a dub, but a woman
dogrnaniac is infinitely worse. You
can kick a man’s dog out of the house,
but when a woman make a social call
on you with her dog, into the house'

and sleeps on the sofa and gnaws tlie
ottoman, and there’s a social revolu¬
tion unless you affect to enjoy it—

A hunter fired at a bird as it flew
over the dooryard of an Arkansaw
residence. A boy that was playing
around was struck by a couple ot shot
and his loud cries brought the farmer
to the scene. “ What have you done?”
he demanded of the hunter, drawing
a revolver. “ I beg ten thousand par¬
dons,” exclaimed the hunter. “ In my
eagerness to secure the bird I fired
thoughtlessly, and I fear I have seri
ously wounded your son.” “Son !” said
the old man, “ 1 thought that you had
hit my dog. Mind how you shoot
around here, for if you put a shot into
that dog I’ll cut off both your ears.”—

Don’t use big words. In promul¬
gating your esoteric cogitations, or ar¬
ticulating superficial sentimentalities
ami philosophical or psychological ob¬
servations beware of platitudinous
ponderosity. Let your conversations
possess a clarified conciseness, compre
hen.sibleness, coalescent consistency
and a concatenated cogency, Eschew
all conglomerations of flatulent garru¬
lity, jejune babblement and a.-inine
affectations. Let your extemporane¬
ous fie eantings and unpremeditated and
expatiations have intelligibility
veracious vivacity, without rodomon
tade or thrasonical bombast. Sedu¬
lously avoid all polysyllabic ventriloquial profundity,
pompous prolixity, vapidity. ver¬ In
bosity and vaniloquent
other words, talk sense.
