A COSMOS WEDDING.
We have jnst attended ft most beauti
ful Lome wedding, find quite a noveltj
in its way a "Cosmos Wedding."
A clear )ctober night a full moon
one hundred and thirty merry gnet,
and a pretty sutmrban residence, bnt a
few miles from the cnpitol, made a
combination from which only the hap
piest results might be expected. That
Uiese expectations were fully realized
ean be voached for by the gay company
lit young folk, who followed the bridal
couple to the depot, and bade them
"God-speed" on their jonruey.
And now for the wedding and the
preparations which preceded the cere
mony. White cosmos flowers and ferns
formed the decorations. There ruui-t
have I t en wagou loads used to produce
the beautiful effect t-een on every side.
1'iled high from book shelves, from
brackets, from nmntelH, in vases large,
iu vaws small, pet-ping out here and
forming a aoiM iuum there. J-.verj-wbere
one might trim, there wan to be
seen this beautiful, graceful flower.
Hut tl.e ii-oat charming ellVct of all
wan produced iu a novt-1 way.
Ktretch d across a Inrge I av window
wan fastened a ti'i.uis net. eight feet
in Lei jlrt. In and out were cloely
interwoven laurel leaves, forming a
solid wall of rich, durk green. Along
the etigt) of thin wall was placed liuu
dr dn of ft rn, which drooped I ke a
delicate green lace that 'I it mill herself
might hive worn. A little while be
fore the c reinouy, all in throtu'h this
green will were placed cosmos flowers,
their graceful drooping htems aud sun
ny flowers showing e.juisi!e V Hiriiint-t
the glossy pr'eu I ack -ground. I'roru
the ceiling hung festoons formed of
clematis and c sums. Anything more
perfectly ci.iirniini in effect can hardly
be iu agined ; we wih all our readers
could i ave h id ev. u a momentary
limpse into this fairy bower.
Ju this lovely spot were gathered, at
the appointed hour, the wedding
guests. I'rtsently were" heard t.ie
etroiun of that charming of all weidiirg
n arches, Lohengrin, ntul tiowu the
stairway came the pastor, the Kev.

aud groom, Miss Harriet U. Kings

The brideMiiiiitl, .Mim Jessie Kings
bury, a sister of the bri.le, mul the best
man, Mr. Wilbur M. Iklauo, the
bride's coll- in.
As they stood in the Cosmos T.ower,
facing tiie guests during the lovely
home-hke ceremony, kneeling on a
ennhiou t. receive the pastor's tdessing,
and with I owed heads joining in the
impressive prayer, i gainst tho lovely
back-ground of sunny blossoms and
glossy grpen leaves, the scene was as
twantifnl as it was solemn, and the
four young faces made a charming
picture not soon to he forgotten.
And tl
gown.'
O vt s, we must
spak d the gown, for what account of
a wedding was ever perfect without a
full dtsciiptiou of that all-important
role?
The wed. ling-gown was heavy white
faille, made rn j,run t neck high,
sleeves long with a tall of delicate
silk luce from the neck aud across the
bodice.
Thcekirt, a denii-train, was trimmed
with a narrow quilling of f.iille. h'u
eireling the slender waist of the bride,
caught together with a pendant of
pearls reaching nearly fo her feet, was
a girdle of old Uuintin pearls, an heir
loom in the family, and most becoming
to the wearer. A tulle veil, fastened
with pearl pins, aud a Ixiuqnet of
white roses, completed the c stume
The gown of the bridesmaid was of

The groom, six feet in height, and
blonde. The bent man liut little lets,
and dark. The two formed a most
striking and pleasing picture of our
tint st youug-uian-hood.
After the congratulations to the
groom and felicitations to the bri.le,
aupper was iu order. The bride of
course cut the "bride's cuke," and
then followed the usual routine of
salads, creams, coffee, etc. Iu the
dining room as elsewhere, a wealth of
cosmos greeted the guestd upoti every
side, aud upon the table, its tall blen
der stews and delicate blossoms, made
a uiot-t appropriate decoration.
Iu the library were placed the gifts,
of which there was a long and valuable

to be found. Ktcliiuprf", waler colora,

SOME QUKER CUSTOMS OF 1HE
HIXDOOa
BT ELLA BARTLKTr 81X310X8,
"One half of the world surely does
not know how the other half Urea."
We had accepted the above as a
somewhat stale truism nntil we our
selves bad made the half circuit of the
globe. .Then did it become a burning
reality. - We Americana haye really no
idea how the natives of India do live
nntil we visit that country and make a
conscientious study of their habit and
customs.
So country on the face of the earth
is more poverty enrsed than this, and
none would have greater resources if
properly developed.
iiut theirs is a stationary cintiEaiioD.
They ais bound down by the iron bands
of caste.
Nowhere in the world was it ever ob
srrved with such rigidity as in Hindu
stan. From birth to the fnneral pile
it directs every movement. The Hindoo
is alwav s under its pel vading influence.
Indian caste is derived from birth
alone. It cannot be transferred from
one class to another. There were
originally but fonr castes: Brahmans,
Ksnatiyas, Yaishyas,Mndras, bat at the
present time they may be counted by
the thousands, each little craft or
profession constituting a different
caste. 1 !ach son must follow directly in
the footsteps of the father.
Be the father a weaver, all the boys
aud girls as wel',mnst learn to weave,
and nothing but this work must ever
be doue by them. They must marry
weavers and none but these must at
tend the wedding. In fact will never
eat with or in anyway associate with
those belonging to a different caste.
We have in one of our mission
schools, a bright little girl who was
it sowned of her parents for eating a
"Choppattie" (pancake) given by a wo
man belonging to auother caste.
1 hey will let a staanger die at their
v ry door if he is uot of their caste.
This institution causes them to be cru
el to others aud works a hardship to
each man on his own account. It pre
vents the full development of his fac
ulties. 1'or three thousand years the Indian
plough has been little better than a
forked stick. Their methods of per
forming work of whatever nature be
longs to the primitive ages. There has
I ecu no advancement.
It is in accordance with caste re
quirements that brass or copper uten
sils should I e moved from place to
place, but an e irtoen vessel once used
for cooked food or water must not be
transported to another locality. Loads
may be carried on the head by some
castes, ou the hack by some, and not at
all by others.
Tl.e poorest Hindoo family do not
wash their own clothes or sweep their
owu floor, unless belonging to the
"dhol e" or "meter" caste. If a Hindoo
were touched by a man of an inferior
caste winle eating, if, indeed, the
shadow fell upon his person or food," b.9
wotil.i not only throw away all the pre
pared foo 1, but would even spit out
what might chauce to be in his month
at the nif-turit. The accumulation of
motive for the preservation of caste
purity is astounding.
The slightest variation from caste
rules is at once visited with tines or
punishments, while the graver offences
become the ground of expulsion liter
ally from all human society and of dis
abilities in businessand disinheritance:
and. believing in ancestor worship as
the llicdoo does, and that the happi
in ss of his departed relatives is de
pendent on his performing the
"ujaues, " the additional curse comes
upon him of being disabled from per
forming these ceremonies because of
caste impurity.
The caste policy of India checks
genius. It has been the great hin
drance to all progress, civil, political,
religions or social. Through this in
stitution the Hindus are opposed to
innovations.
Their broom is still a handleless
bundle of twigs.
Their houses are low, dark and illy
ventilated. The higher caste families
live in rooms snrrounding an open
court, one room to a family, the
a l ire relationship occupying these va-
nous apartments.
. ' i
A married son always brines his
wife home to live.
Their houses are literally unfurnish
ed. The; have none of the comforts of
an American home. A low bed stands
in one corner, a home-made mad stove
iu another, a box in the third, that
constitutes the house furnishings. The '
bouses have no chimneys; wben th 1
smoke nua tne room, tne women go
out doors. The walls are covered
with cobwebs, it being a sin to kill a
spider. The high caute women are
kept in seclusion, the low caste work
very bard at their daily toil. Whether
higli or low the lot of a Hindoo woman
is hard.

WORLD'S FAIR SOUVENIRS.
HOW YOC CAV GET OStt OP THE
BIS HALK BS.
The World's Fair souvenir coins are
"going like hot cakes," and those whu
want to get one or more of them will
have to bestir themselves or they will
be too late. The desire for one of
these mementos of the Exposition
seems to be almost as nniversal as is
the interest in the Exposition itself,
and orders for them have, been sent in
from all parts of the United States and
also from foreign countries.
This souvenir half dollar, it is re
ported from Washington, will be the
most artistic coin ever issued from the
mint. On the obverse side will appear
the head of Columbus, designed from
the Lotto portrait, and surrounding it
the words, "World's Columbian Expo
sition, Chicago, 189'J." On the reverse
side will appear a caravel, representing
Columbus' flag-ship and beneath it two
hemispheres. Above the caravel will
be "United States of America," aud
beneath the hemispheres, "Columbian
Half Dollar." There is no doubt that
this coin will be regarded as the most
distinctive and highest prized c!ieap
souvenir of the World's fair.
All of these souvenir coins, except
five, are being sold at a uniform price
of one dollar each. For the Brst coin
struck off $10,000 has already been
offered, and various prices have been
bid for the 400tb, 149.M, and 18M and
the last coin. Desiring that these
souvenirs be distributed as widely as
possible among the people, and that
all, irrespective of locality, have an
eqnal chance to obtain them, the Ex
position authorities have sought to
prevent syndicates and others from
purchasing large qnantitiea and thus
"eornering" the sale. Ou the con
trary, they have arranged to supply
banks, business houses and individuals
in all parts of the country with as
many as they may desire to distribute
friends. They require only that the
among tneir patrons, customers or
v.vicb auuo. w ivi UI,J W1UO, UI BUIUQ
multiple of fifty, and that the order be
accompanied by the cash, at the rate
of one dollar for each coin. A great
many banks and business firms have
gladly complied with I bene conditions
and ordered each from 50 to 20,000 of
the coins.
Notwithstanding these conditions
have been widely published, still a
vast number of inquiries by letter has
been received at tlie Exposition head
quarters asking bow the coins mav be
obtained. The best way is to get them
tnrongii local banks, all of which ate
no donbt willing toaecoLUDjodateiu that
way their patrons and the residents ol
the city or town in which they are
doing business. If, however, for any
reason it is de-ired "to obtain them
otherwise, the proper method is to
form a club of subscribers for fifty
coins, or some multiple of fifty, and
select some one member of the club to
send on the order and money and to
distribute the coins when received.
Orders phould 1 e addressed to A. F.
Weeberger, Treasurer World's Colum
bian Kx position, Chicago.
It is probable that the coins will not
be ready for distribution nntil some
time in December. But the orders ar
being sent in rapidly, aud will be filleJ
in the order of being received. There
fore it is important that all who desire
coins shonld put in their orders as soon
as possible.
NEW POSTAGE STAM PS.
The new issue ot postage stamps b
Postmaster-Genera! Wanamaker will
be known as tho Columbian series ol
postaga stamps, and will serve to illus
trate important incidents in Co'nm
boa's life. The new stamps will be ot
the same height as the present series,
bnt twice an long, the increased size
being thought necesssary in order to
properly display the Illustrations.
These are intended to commemorate
the discovery of America by Columbns,
and several of the illustrations have
been already decided npon. These
arc: "Discovery of America by Ool
nmbns First Sight of Land;' "Col
umbus's Fleet at Sea," from Hevista de

the Van der Lyn picture in the Cnited

Colombna's flagship, after Alfred Har
risse; Colnmbus Asking Aid of Qneen

Story of His Discovery to Ferdinand

A musical critic from Yankee-land,
Mr. I C. Elson, who describes fn i
very "ree and easy" way his experi
ences in Europe, was at one of tbi
great Wagnerian performance at
fiayreuth. The place was full of con
genial people, who had come together
for one purpose. As an illustration
of the spirit that prevailed, Mr. Elson
ays:
I have ''spoken of (he Prince o.
Hesse. I did not know be was a
prince nntil I had chatted with him
about half an hour, and then It wai
too late for me to put on any stately
behavior. I resisted the temptation
to tell him that I was the Duke of
Oshkosb or the Marquis of Kalama
coo, and kept my character as a hum
ble American citizen. As for bis
highness, any rich Western speculator
would have put on more airs.
alast there are no manuals of eti
quette on "How to converse with a
prince;" even the Ba-deker phrase
book omits this Important chapter.
I feared to ask if the prince business

FRIENDSHIP.
That friendship doaa not depond
npon long aoqaaiDtanoo is faot of
which wa most all b aware, and years
oi luumaey cannot do rouea npon aa
Sara guarantee ot this inestimable
treasure. To distinguish the differ
ence between friends said acquaintan
ces we mast pass through trials and
reverses, which proe sooner than any
words or protestations the steadfast or
shallow natures which surround us.
xnose we least count upon, and npon
whose recollection and disinterested
thought we have no claim, are ' fre
quently the first to come forward and
extend the band of friendship when
calamities befall ua ; while those we
bsd reckoned our friends, whom in
days of prosperity were ever amongst
the first to accept hospitality, are those
who drop away from as at the first sign
of distress.
How true are the words of Bucking
ham: "Those you make friends and
give y our heart to, when they once
perceive the least rub in your fortunes,
fall away like water from ye, never
found again, but where they mean to
sink ye!" Alas I this is too often, the
case; aad bitter is the awakening when
we find that those "friends" in whom
we had placed such eonfidenoe, npon
whose honor we had relied so implic
itly, are no longer by oar side when
their help might be ot some avail, and
when we ourselves are powerless to
render them further pleasure.
A staunch friend is not he who prais
es all we do, who bangs npon oar light
est word as the bee npon the flower
when sucking honey; bat it is he who
will point out to ns the path we onght
to tread when hesitancy prevails, and
onr own natures are perhaps too weak
to win the fight against oar inclination
to err. The real friend will stand by
ua in poverty ss well aa in wealth, and
will think for na even when absent; it
is the influence which he brings which
helps ns or degrades ns; it is his actions,
not his vocabulary, which classes him
either as friend or aetnaintanoa.
Be willing to pity the misery of the
stranger! Thou givest to-day thy
bread to tha poor; to-morrow the poor
may give It to thee.

Did you ever see a sickly
baby with dimples ? or a heal
thy one without them ?
A thin baby is always deli
cate. Nobody worries about
a plump one.
If you can get your baby
plump, he is almost sure to
be well. If you can get him
well, he is almost sure to be
plump.
The way to do both there
is but one way is by care
ful living. Sometimes this
depends on Scott's Emulsion
of cod-liver oil.
We will send you a book
on it; free.
