Stimulants mid larcotics.
Between fifty and sixty well known

well nigh incredible. To obtain accu

A < urlous Ceremony,
A wedding of an interesting and
unusual character took place nt the
Greek church, Moscow road, Bays

ta een t wo members of the well-known
It dli family. A large gathering of
notables assembled to welcome the
bridal party. The bride wore a long,
plain dress of rich white brocade,
adorned with sprays of orange blos
soms, the same flower being worn on
ih<-head, over which was thrown a
voluminous veil of simple tulle. She
was ae ompanied by four little brides
maids. children, wearing pink velvet
and white lace dresses, with hats of
the same tint. Each carried a basket
of pink rosebuds ami fern. Two
groomsmen held enormous candles,
dressed with orange flowers, on each
side of the bridal pair, and they were
met by the priest in gorgeous golden
robes at Hie little table set in the mid
dle of the church, just in front of the
i lectern. The priests came out of the
holy of holies, the doors of which they
ieft open, disclosing a perfect blaze of
golden splendor, in lamps and cruei
fixes. After wafting the fragrant In
cense about—a kind much more agree
able than that generally used in
Itoinsn Catholic churches, which has
a heavy odor—the ceremony com
menced. Wreaths of orange blossoms
ind white satin ribbon were placed on
each bridal head and changed three
times. The whole concluded, by the
head priest lea ling the married couple,
attended by the respective parents,
three times round the altar table.
Ulrla of the Marqueiai Inland.
As our men took their meals on the
spar-deck, the women and as many of
the native men as could be provided J
for, ate with them. The natives are
not dainty, but cram their mouths full 1
and eat voraciously. The women are ]
very fond of meat, but are not allowed '
to e.it it on the island, where it is ta- ;
boo to them —another instance of the
selfish character of the men. It is too !
scarce, however, for the men to in
dulge in, except at a festival. The
taboo is laid merely by the proclama
tion of a priest. They have a pair
of goats on the island, and that they
may increase undisturbedly they are
taboo to all persons for five years, j
Our dinner table in the ward room j
being under an open hatch, they clus
tered round the hatch and watched
the manner of our eating with great !
delight. Anything that was handed
to one of them from the table was
thankfully received and divided among
the rest, and eaten with so great satis
faction and greediness that they re
minded us of monkeys. Once, for
curiosity, we took several of the pret
iest and cleanest girls below to dine
with us. They behaved with a great
deal of decorum, and in order that
they might make no mistakes and do
nothing wrong they watched us close
ly and did exactly what we did. Each
I officer attended to the girl that ha
brought down, and he was the model
by which she governed her actions.
She would put no more in her mouth
at a time than he. use her knife and ’
fork as he, lay them down when he ;
did, be helped when he was, drink |
when he did. One of the officers at- j
tending on a girl had a nervous affec- I
tion in his under jaw. and every now I
and then would screw up his chin and
face in a very ridiculous manner, and
he was very sensitive of its being re
marked on. His girl, anxious to imi
tate him in every respect, to be per
fectly decorous, kept an eye on him
all the time, anil when he screwed his
mouth to one side she w uld instantly
do the same, to our infinite merriment, i
and n ■ less to his mortification.—
Crain.- of the Vincennes.
Origin of Mome FAvhiout.
A little New York milliner said in
the course of a conversation with a
Mail ami Kj'press reporter: “The
Princess of Wales, as everybody
knows, has an unfortunate limp, which
nothing under the sun could render
beautiful But the foolish London
ladies seeing this sai I to themselves.
■Dear me! How chic that limp is.'
The ‘Alexander kimp.’ as it was called,
Iwcame extremely f.ushionable. and it
was obtained by making the heel of
one boot shorter than that of the
other. The Princess cf Wales ha>
also a very long and meager neck.
She was absolutely obliged to wear
only high dresses, close up to the
throat. But the thousands o. English
ladies who had not very long necks
followed her example, and made them
selves ridiculous. Dear m How
stupi 1 the fashion world is!”
The little milliner sighed at ths
fraility of her sex. but tortured her
self by relating still more of them.
“Do you know the origin of the puck
ered sleeves which are worn by every
woman to-day, and which look like
pirnpks on the shoulders? It was
simply this: The Countess of Dudley
-one of the most beautiful women in
England, by the-by—was invited to a
dinner one nlgnt, and was expected to
shine in a very elegant costume,
: which was being made esperially for
' the occasion. ’ When the countess was
I about to dress her maid informed her
that the dress maker had not yet sent
home the costume. The countess was
in despair. What could she do? She
wrote a note to the delinquent, de
manding that the dress should be sent
immediately, finished or unfinished.
It came within an hour—unfinished.
The countess felt bound to don it, as
several society papers had already ex
patiated upon its wonderful design.
The sleeves were only tacked in. The
countess was not daunted. She took
a needle and hastily sewed in the
sleeves —so hastily, indeed, that over
each shoulder the material was puck
ered and stood up in alarming folds.
She wore the dress as it was, however.
She knew she could wear anything.
A week from that time puckered
sleeves were all the rage in London.”
The milliner blushed with shame
at this new instance of female weak
ness. “Do you know who originated
high heeled boots?" she asked. “Oh !
that woman has a great deal to an
swer for, 1 can tell you. It was the
Marquise de Pompadour. She was so
small, and it was the fashion to be
tall, that she invented high heels in a
fit of desperation. That lady also or
iginated the black patches which were
so fashionable in the French court,
and which people supposed to-day that
the ladies wore in order to heighten
the brilliancy of their complexion.
They were thus simply in imitation of
La Pompadour. She had an aggra
vating pimple on her cheek. AH her
efforts were unavailing. She covered
the offending growth with black plas
ter, and set the fashion. Anne of
Austria introduced the fashion of
short sleeves. She was not a beauti
ful woman, but her arms were magifi
cent, and in the same spirit with
which Katisha expatiates on the beau
ty of her left shoulder blade, Anne of
Austria resolved to exhibit her left
shoulder blade. Short sleeves were
almost unknown before her time, i
Marie Antoinette had masses of ex
quisite hair, and the huge coiffures
and outlandish designs which are so
much ridiculed to-day were simply the
result of that fact. She could do
nothing else with her hair, as there
was so much of it. But her ladies j
imitated her,, and actually bought ;
false hair in order to reach a proper
standard of perfection.”

I AMONG THE HOP PICKERS.
Picturesque Rural Scenes in
England’s Hop Districts.
Nomadic Existence of the Hoppers and
their Rigged Familiw-
The race of hoppers is not unknown
to the most superficial of newspaper
readers. Their sms and m:-fortunes
are a fertile theme, and the paternal
legislature lias taken them in hand.
Considered picturesque tour
ist’s point of view, the hopper is an
unconventional-looking person, who
camps about on the river bank in a
' manner not unsuggestive of the abo
riginal savage. “Camps” is exactly
I the right word, for rows ol tents
placed in a line, of military precision
are to be seen in the fields. Here the
hopper —just come from Whitechapel
cooks his dinner at a gypsy-lire, and
his squaw mends rags close by. In
I other places the gypsy-fires and rag
mending goes on under a convenient
hedge. Elsewhere two old women, of
witch-like features, may be found,
with half a dozen children around
them, squatting under the protection
of a steam roller. Three crooked
sticks propped up against one anoth
er over about as much fire as would till
a moderate sized saucer stand in front,
and at this kitchen they are cooking
something mysterious in a passing
strange fashion. Hoppers are of al)
ages, of both sexes, and, as far as can
be seen, of various ranks. The great
majority are ragged enough, though
even about them there is a vague
something which suggests that the
rags are at least partly voluntary.
Many are obviously' too well fed to
belong to the utterly poor who go
half-naked; and if their attire is of the
roughest, it may be partly because
they are too wise to camp out in more
decent raiment. They have bundlee,
obviously full of something, with
them, and a large variety of pots and
pans. Now and then one sees men,
and even women, among them who
belong, apparently, to the class of
work-people in pretty regular employ
ment. At times, to be sure, one catches
sight of a close-cropped bullet head,
suggestive of a very recent “six
months;” but it is the exception. On
the wuole, the hoppers give one the im
pression that they' are a much more or
derly body than seems consistent with
the nomadic nature of their trade. For
many of them, indeed, the work is reg
ular enough. There are some families
which come yearly to the same farms,
and write carefully beforehand to ask
when the hopping is to begin. On the
whole, the hopping season seems to
represent their month at the sea-side—
aholiday of work under healthy condi
tions. In the rainy weather they
must have a bad time, particularly
those who are lodged in tents. A
largo proportion are put into long out
houses. built for the purpose, and used
for no other. These sheds are wind
and water tight, and abundant clean
straw is supplied for beds. Though not
luxurious, these houses are not actual
ly indecent, and are decidedly superior
to an average London slum. Doctor
Johnson, who believed in the healthi
ness of Londoners, would have been
gratified to learn that the Kent far
mers prefer the town hoppers to the
country, or, as they are called, home
hoppers; because the former star.J
bad weather better than the oth
ers, who have been accustomed to an
open-air life all their days. In point
of character, the hopper reaches to a
certain level of respectability. He or
she belongs to the race of Autolycus.
They cannot resist any trifle they find
lying about, but they seldom meddle
with - serious thieving. Violence is
not unknown among them; but in the
remoter parts of Kent, which may be
said to include the Midway valley, it is
reported to be the exception.—Maga

Work Saved by Type-Writing.
A man of letters in New York was
under contract with a publisher to
write about 30,000 words. He had
prepared himself carefully for the
task, but the contemplation of its
manual labor tired him in advance.
He went to a type-writer'sofllcedown
town, where three or four industrious
girls were earning their living, ami
learned that he could dictate to one of
them at the rate of from 1,800 to 3,000
words. The noise of the clicking ma
chines at first threatened to disturb
his efforts at original composition, but
before he had worked half an hour he
was used to it. Tae busimss of com
posing and dictating the 36.000 words
occupied about twenty hours each, or
five or six days of three or four hours
each. At the end of each sitting he
left theoflice with the completed manu
script tn his hand. The result was ac
complished without fatigue, and its
quality, he says, was unusually good—
for him. He further testifies that, for
the first time in his life, he has a “real
izing sense of what emancipation is
A Chinese Military Pay Day,
The Chinese soldier receives h:s"p aT
once a month only, and Chines,
months, it may be remarked, are
longer than these we are
to reckon by. On the eve of the nav
day, the captain of a company, togeti
er with his sergeant-major, goes anj
receives the amount requisite to pay
his company, from his next sup<. r : ut
officer. This is not paid to him j B
jingling coins such as we are accus.
tome! to, for China possesses no coin,
age but in pure silver, which, howev er
has been broken into somewhat irregu.’
lar pieces. The whole of the night
preceding pay-day is occupied in
weighing out for each man the re.
quired ounces of silver, and this occu.
pation as may be easily imagined, j s ,
very tedious one, and only suceesstui
ly accomplished by infinite care, for
here a piece the size of a pin’s head
has to be chipped off, and there a
piece of larger dimensions has to bj
added to make up weight, and any
deviation one way or the other means
the loss of perhaps a day’s pay or mon
to some poor defender of the Celestial
Empire. When the process of meting
out is accomplished, the silver is then
carefully wrapped in paper, upon
which is written the name of tiie in.
tended recipient. On the following
afternoon the company is mustered,
and the sergeant-major divides the
money, commencing with the first
man in the company, and going on to
the last. When this division is con
cluded the question is asked in stento
rian tones: “Has any one else a
claim?” and the customary “No" hav
ing promptly been given, the men are
then dismissed. Each one now repain
to the nearest tradesman’s shop where
he exchanges his silver. For one tad
he receives 1.600 small coins, perfora
ted in the centre so as to allow of be
ing threaded on a string, and having
received the proper amount, turns
homewards with a cheerful mien, but
nearly sinking beneath his burden.
The private re eives three and a half
taels, equal to about nineteen shillings,
monthly; out of which he has to pro
vide hismself with clothes and food.
This to us, no doubt, seems a very in
significant sum, but we must remem
ber that the whole of a Chinese sol
dier’s subsistence only costs him about
one tael, for he subsists on rice, abso
lutely nothing but rice. His clothes,
too, also cost but a trifle. But itli
not pretend'd that a soldier can save
much out of such a slender income;
and it is invariably the case that when
the next pay day comes round the pool
defender of the Celestial Empire has
not a cent in pocket, neither has he
had any for some days past, so quick
ly does money melt, even in those ce
lestial regions.— Chronik der Zeit.
