If the wedding takes place in the church it is customary to reserve the front seats in the body of the church for the relatives or the youn,g couple. It is the height of rudeness for any one, whether clerwman, bridegroom, or any member of the bridal train, to keep the bride waiting. The clergyman, should be within the rails, the bridegroom and groomsmen should be in the vestry room, by the time the bride is due at the church. The bridesmaids may receive the bride in the vestibule, or may accom pany her to the church. The bridal party should meet in the vestry-room. Then the bride, leaning on the arm of her father, heads the pro cession ; the bridegroom, with the bride's mother upon his arm, follows : the grooms man and - bridsmaids in couples follow. At the altar, the bridegroom receives the brit* and the ceremony begins. The groomsnien stand behind the bride. The bride and bridegroom remove their right hand glove in some churches; in others it is deemed not necessary. The bride stands on the left of the groom. When the wedding takes place at the house of the Lride, it is customary to divide the room either by folding doors or a curtain, and allow the bridal party to be grooped before their friends see theni. If, however, this is not convenient, they enter in the same order as in church. rt is somewhat customary of late for the bride and groom to walk arm-in-arm to the altar; but it is against established etiquette ; the bride should walk with her father, or, if orphaned with whoever takes the hither's place on the occasion. Where a ring is used, it is the duty of the bridesmaid to remove the bride's left hand glove. After the ceremony, the parents of the bride speak to her first; then the parents of the bridegroom , before the other friends. Aft.'r the ceremony, the bride and groom go in the same carriage from the church to. the house, or from the house to the railway depot. If there is breakfast or supper, the bride does not change her dress until she assumes her traveling dress. If parties are given to the bride and groom the bridesmaids and groomsmen must also be inNited, and, if they perfer, all may wear the dress worn at the wed ding. This is, however, optional. During the fortnight following the wedding, friends of the family should call upon the mother of the bride. It is contrary to etiquette . to wear mourning at a wedding. Even in the ease of n widowed mother to either of the happy pair, it is Customary to wear gray, or some neutral tint, 'upon the wedding Tctl if ti.c tkvt+...Ct issue somed afterwards. It is not etivette, at a wedding or wedding reception. to congratulate the bride; it is the bridegroom who receives congratulation ; the bride wishes for her future happiness. A gentleman. or lady who is acquainted with both bride and groom must speak first to the bride; but if a stranger to either, may first speak to the one with whom he is already acquaint ed who will then introduce the other. If a stranger to bath bride and groom, the first g,roomsman must make the introduc tion.-!--13li-Lnws of ..-Imerican, Society. A Japunese Girl's Toilet. "Russell," who is traveling around the world for the Boston " Traveler," is now in Japan. Here is something reliable from one of his letters: "Having watch ed the man, we now turned to the ' bar beress.' She had a lady customer, whose face and form showed considerable per sonal beauty. She was unmarried, fur her teeth were glistening white. Neither of the ladies took other notice of us than to glance at us once, sidewise. The _cus tomer, after leaving her clog sandals at the egde of the platform, which is the floor of the open Japanese house, and ad vancing barefooted to the middle of the room, made a low bow to the barberess,' and told her how she wished to be dressed. The barbress' placed a mat upon the floor, then removing the robe from her shoulders, began to work upon her hair ; first, until it was softened, sufficiently to admit a comb. When the combing was done, all the hair was gathered back from the face to the crown; and tied there. then the long tail' was waved and oiled until it was stiff It was next flattened out with the hands near the head, and the end gathered aropud this flat piece in curious curls and fantastic braids, the end fastened with a pin, and the face and neck wiped dry with a towel. Then be gan a process for which I was wholly un prepared. I bad not supposed the Jap anese to be so near civilized. The'‘ bar bress' took up a little box, with a fine bamboo scive in the end, and, after telling the customer to shut her eyes, began to throw, or sift, the fine rice flour, or dust, npon the young lady's face and shoulders. Very soon the skin that was natural ly copper colored was artificially white. That portion of the flour which did not stick was brushed off with a feather brush, after which a piece of bark of some kind was rubbed on her cheeks until 'red as a rose 'was she."fhen, fur the first time, a polished piece of iron or steel,''serving for a mirror, was held up before the young lady, 'who smiled her approval, rose to her feet, gathered up her dress, and marched proudly off, leaving the 'barberess' to await another customer. ELEVEN THOUSAND PERSONS KILLED nY SNAKESe7.-Ala English paper says:— "A St. Patrick is evidently wanted in In dia as much as he was ever wanted in Ireland. During the year 1869 no. less than 11,416 persons in Bengal Presidency died from the effect of snake bites. The return giving us this information has been carefully compiled; all the merely sick and wounded have been omitted, as• well as those sudden deaths whlch are 9fteu attributed to snake bites by . heirs to prop erty unduly eager for their inheritance. It is fA sUrimaing fact that this destvue tlon of human - Bic goes.ot year by year,. and that n.o`efficatiout means are talattett to cheek its ravages, • To See Down -a Will. It is not generally known how easy a matter it is to explore the bottom of a well, cistern, or pond of water, by the use of a common mirror. When the sun is shinning brightly, hold a mirror so that I the reflected rays of light will fall into the I water. A bright-spot will be' seen at the bottom, so light as to show the smallest object very plainly. By this means we have examined the bottom of wells fifty feet deep, when half full or more of water. The smallest straw or other small objects can be perfectly seen from the surface. In the bottom of ponds and rivers, if the wa ter be somewhat clear, and not agitated by winds or rapid motion. If a well or , cistern be under cover, or shaded by buildings, so that the sun-light will not fall near the opening, it is only necessary to employ two mirrors, using one to re flect the light from the opening, and soother to send it down perpendicularly into the water. Light must be thrown fiftror a hundred yards to...the precise spot desired, and then downward. We have used the mirror- with success, to re fleet light around the house, to a shaded well, and also to carry it from a south window through two rooms, and then in to a cistern under the north side of the house. Half a dozen reflections of light may be made, though each mirror dimin ishes the brilliancy of light. Let any our not familiar with the method, try it, and he will not only find it useful, but a pleas ant experiment. it will perhaps reveal a mass of sediment at the bottom of a well that has been little thought of, but which may have been a frightful source of dis ease, by its aecay in the water. A Great Surprise A great many years ago we remelnber to have read a thrilling story about a gen tleman of elegant leisure, who was trav elling for the fun of it in the tropics. Disporting himself on the banks of a riv er, be amused himself by trying to turn over and roll into the stream, for the sake of hearing it splash, what he supposed was a black walnut log. Before he succeeded in turning it over, one end of the log—which happened, strangely enough to be the tail of an nih gator—flopped round and knocked him over ; there was a sort of splitting open at the other end, a flash of white teeth in the simshino, a quiet advertisement of " go o d opening for a man of means"—the lazy winking of a black eve that looked like a knot in the log, and the gentleman of leisure had dippeared, leaving in his wake the litter of procession of brass but tons, and just a taste of verdigris and lin en in the roof of the alligator's mouth ; and, the alligator resumed his slumbers. And the gentleman left on record noth ing to indicate his feelings. We only know that it most, in the nature of the evelit, have been a great surprise to him. - High-heeled foots. An English journal says: One of the must detestable, injurious, and generally abominable fashions now in vogue among ladies, is unquestionably, the wearing of high-heeled boots. The consequences necessarly resulting from a constant use of boots made on such a principle, are of the gravest and most serious descrip tion. The representative Briton's foot is de formed sufficiently iu numerous other ways; to see a foot now-a-days properly formed, and retaining to adolescence its original and natural state, is to see the rarest of curiosities; and, this being an incontrovetible truth, it will easily be con ceived that we ought not systematically to set ourselves to work to distort our feet by any means more adventitious than can be helped, or by the wearing of that which can be most mechanically and comfortably dispensed with. 'Yet this is precisely what fashionable ladies have been and are doing. Nothing but boots with the highest possibiktheels, and the greatest possible Contractions elsewhere, can be worn by those of the female sex who consider themselves and wish to be considered fashionable; tioth lag could be more deleterious in every respect. Of course a grabual carriage and walk are rendered totally impossible ; the execr able assumption of the peculiar "bend," classically called the "Grecian," becomes no longer an assumption, but a necessity; and no small amount of personal discom fort and pain is inevitably caused to the probably fair, but certainly mistaken wearers of these shockingly made boots. The shape of the foot is soon destroyed, and the improper and unnatural elevation of the heel, of necessity, causes the other parts of the foot—for instance, the instep, the arch, (to avoid technicalities), and the approacbes to the toes—to suffer great distortion, and diminishes their natural . strength and working powers.- " And the mischief does not. stop here. Those bones of the feet which act con junctively with tae higher parts of the leg, which run up to the calf, &c., stiffer; and it would be well if the votaries of these high-heeled boots would bear in re membrance that, while they are priding themselves on the graceful attitude in which they aro, launched into the air, they are also wearing away and destroy ing that elegant contour of the ankle, that inComparabiy-Mounted gracefulness of 'calf, whichproperly . they ought to prize tier can prize too highly.. And the mischief does not,stop even here. Their whole figure, theircomplete "tout ensem ble" of appearanci3, is, to a greater or leas extent, marred, Roiled and obliterated. New Use for Bo!loons.

The Earth is inhabited by about 1,380 millions of inhabitants, via: 380,000,000 of the Caucasian race; 580,000,000 of the Mongolian: 200.000;- 000 of the Ethiopian ; 220,000 of the Malay race, and 1,000,000 of the Ameri can Indians. All these respectively speak 3,064 languages, and possesses 1,000 dif ferent religions. The amount of deaths per annum is 33,333,333, or 91,954 per day, 8,730 per hour, 60 per minute, or one per second. This loss is compensated by ut least au equal number of births. The average duration of life through out the globe is thirty-three years. One-, fourth of its population dies before the seventeenth. Out of 10,000 persons only one reaches his hundredth year; only one in 500 his eighteith year; and only ode in 100 his sixty-fifth year. Married people live longer than un married ones, and a tall man is likely to live longer than a short one. Until the fiftieth year, woman have a better chance of life than men; but beyond that period the chances are equal. Sixty-five persons out of one thousand marry. The number of men able to bear inns is but one eighth of the population. CREEDS OF TUE WORLD The population of the world is relig iously distributed very nearly in the fol lowing proportions: Christains, 388,600,000; Buddhists, 360,000,000; Other Asiatic Religions, 260,000,000; Pagans, 200,000,000; Mo hammedans, 10,000,000; Jews, 7,000,- 000. In Europe, America, Australia, and many of the Polynesian Islands, Chris tianity is the prevailing creed of every State. In Africa, the only independent Christian States are Abyssinia and Li beria, while Christianity prevails in sever al of the European Colonies. The larg est empire of Asia—Russia--is also a Christian country. India, the third country in extent, is under the rule of a Christian government, and so is a large portion of Farther India. The Mohammedan countries in Asia Lire Turkey, Persia, Atighanistan and the Khanates of Central Asia; in Africa— Morocco, the dependencies 'of Turkey (Egypt, Tunis, Tripoli,) and a number of interior States. • Buddhism prevails iu India, Farther India, in many parts of China, and in Japan. The governments of Japan, Burmab, and Siam are Buddhist ; the government of China adheres to the re ligion of Confucius.

A scientific observer of the habits of bats has been making some experiments with them, showing that they possess what he terms"somnambnlistie" faculties. One of his experiments was with bats which had been completely blindfolded, but which fact did not impede their mo tions in the slightest degree. They flew 1 about by night and by day with their - wonted rapidity, avoiding all obstacles which lay, or were tntentionally placed in their way. as dexterously as if in full possession of their sight. They turned around at the right time when they ap proached a wall, and rested in a conven ient situation when fatigued. In one ex periment, a room was filled with thin twigs; in another, silken threads were suspended from the ceiling and preserved in the same position at the same distance from each other, by small weights at tached to them. In these rooms, the bat, though deprived of its eyes, flew through the interval of the threads, as well as of the twigs, without touching them ; and whenever the intervals were very small, it drew its wings closely together. In I another room a net was placed, having occasional irregular spaces for the bat to fly through, the net being so arranged as to form a small labyrinth ; but the blind bat was not to be deceived. In proportion as the difficulties were increased, the dex terity of the insect was augmented. When fliti,gued by its high flights, it flew I rapidly along the floor, among the chairs and tables, yet avoided touching anything with its wings. In every place it was put, its flight was as prompt, easy and secure as that of its associates who had the use or nun c‘et. 1 square foot. 1 square yard. 1 square rod. 1 square rood. 1 square acre. 1 square mile. What Becomes of the coin Iu the reign of Durius, gold was thir teen times more valuable, weight for weight, than silver. In the time of Plato, it was twelve times as valuable. In that of Julius Caesar, gold was only nine times more valuable, owing, perhaps, to the enormous quantities of gold seized by him in his wars, It is a natural question to ask. what has became of the gold and sil ver ? A paper read before the Polytech nic Association, by Dr. Stephens, recent ly, is calculated to meet this inquiry. He says, of our annual gold product, fully tif- , teen per cent, is melted down for menu- , facture ; thirty-five per cent. goes to Ent.-, ope ; twenty-five per cent, to Cuba ; fif teen per cent. to Brazil; five per cent. di rect to Japan, China and the Indies ; leaving, bat tire per cent: for circulation in ; this country. Of that which goes to Cu ba, the West Indies, Brazil, fully fifty per cent finds its way to Europe, where, utter , deducting a large percentage used in manufacturing, four-fifths of the remain der is exported to India. Here the trim; sit of the precious metal is at an end. Here the supply, however vast, is absorb eb, and never returns to the civilized world. The Orientals consume but little, 'while their productions have ever been in de mand among the Western nations. As mere recipients, therefore, these nations have acquired the desire of accumulation and hoarding, a passion common alike to all classes among the Egyptians, Indians, Chinese and Persians. A French econo mist states that in his opinion, the form er nation alone hide away t,20,000,000 of mild and silver annually,, and the-present gild of Morocco, is reported as so ad dicted to this avaricious mania, that he has filled seventeen chambers with the precious metals. The passion of princes. tt is not surprising that the same spirit is shared by their subjects, and it is in this predilection that we discover the solution of the problem as to the ultimate disposi tion of the precious metals. This absorp tion by the Eastern tuitions, has been un interruptedly going on since the most re mote historical period: According to Pliny, as ranch as 8100,000,000 in gold was, in his day, annually exported to the East. The balance Of trade in favor of those nations is noW given as 90,000,- 000. People who are always innocently cheerful and good-natured am very useful in the world. They maintain peace nod happiness, and spread a thankful temper around them. it been well said that "we have ho MOM right to fling an un necessaryshadow over the spirits of those whom we may casually meet, than we 'have to fling a stone and break their win dows."

The raw sugar is placed in a large cop per vat, called a pan, containing about a ton, and a given quantity of water. wash the sugar thoronghly,stem power used agitate the whole, and it becomes boiling mass.. In order to remove all tht grosser impurities about two gallons bullock's blood are poured in, and th _ dross very quickly swims on the top, t the depth of some inches. When suifici ent time has been allowed for the blood b become thoroughly mixed with the sugar so as to separate the impurities from tbe liquid sugar, and ascend in the form or dross to the top, the sugar is drained of, leaving behind a mass of refuse; whica forms very valuable manure. This the most economical way of refining sugar,' notwithstanding at first sight soreptilsivi Yet, on inquiry, it is found that not only dues all the Mtn of the sugar remain the refuse, but also the impure particles of the blood. The albumen in the blood having an afflinity for fife impurities, the• blood which was poured in comes out , a solid mass of refuse. It has the same effect as the white of an egg in other re fining purposes. The liquid sugar than passes through other stages of refilling but the bulk of the impurity is left cling ing to the blood. Here we have an illustration to open up a Bible truth ; the natural fact con firmed; that blood does cleanse, that there is in the blood of bollocks especially that which has an atlinity far these impurities. !le Knew How It Was.
