INESE WEDD PWverything © daiinibil With the Cere monios Is Decked In Red, The Chinese place a significance upor every color, and in connection with a wedding red obtains a deep rooted, mysterious importance, the next bridal color in value being gold. Ata be- trothal the bridegroom elect sends his sweetheart a pair of bracelets fastened together with a piece of red ribbon or cord. The bride and bridegroom drain two wine cups at the wedding, which are also connected by ared cord. In northern China the attendants wear tall felt hats, and each hat has a red feather stuck upright in it. The attend- ants also carry the wedding presents. A sedan chair bears the bride herself. In south China a sedan most wonder- fully gilded is used by the wealthy classes, and i¢ is decorated with what appears at first sight to be brilliant in- laid stones, but which are in reality the glossy feathers of the kingfisher. A handsome cloth of glowing red with trimmed border is also thrown over the chair. In the case of the poorer classes red is also the prevailing bridal] color, and a chair of ordinary carved wood, paint- ed a bright red, is used. Above the door of the chair a kind of charm is placard- ed or hung upon a red cloth. The chair itself is sent by the bridegroom, accom- panied by what corresponds to our best man. This functionary brings with him a letter written in yellow or gold upon red paper, praying the lady to enter and take her place. Men dressed all in red and carrying red parcels containing the presents fall into the procession. Other bearers carry boards and banners, inscribed in golden letters upon a red ground. These ban- ners tell the pedigree of both parties. Behind the bearers come the other at- tendants, with long poles, ou which are hung very handsome lanterns. The bride’s veil is of bright crimson hue and her dress regal gold and scarle t.— Wide World. JACK HORNER. The Rich Plum That He Extracted From, That Christmas Pie. For the benefit of those who are not quite little folks Agnes Carr Sage, in Lippincott’s Magazine, tells the origin and history of some famous nursery stories and rhymes, among them ‘‘The Pleasant History of Jack Horner,’’ con- taining ‘‘His Witty Tricks and Pleas- ant Pranks,’’ for soit is set forth ina very old chapbook, carefully preserved in the Bodleian library. It appears that this worthy was stew. ard to an abbot of Glastonbury. The good abbot learned that his majesty Henry VIII bad seen fit to be indignant because the monks had built a kitchen which he could not burn down. Now,a kiag’s indignation was dangerous’ and must be appeased. Therefore the abbot sent his steward, Jack Horner, to pre- sent the sovereign with a suitable peace offering. It took the form of a big and tempting Jooking pie, beneath the crust of which the transfer deeds of 12 man- ors were hidden. But Master a had an eye for the profit of No. 1, and on the road he slyly lifted the crust and abstract d the deeds of the Manor of Wells. On his return, bringing the deeds, he plausibly explained that they had been given to him by the king; hence the rhyme: Little Jack Horner Sat in a corner (of the wagon), Eying his Christmas pie; He put in his thumb And pulled out a plum (the title deed), Saying, ‘‘What a brave boy am 3a Town Names. The Cleveland Leader says thata man registered.in a local hctel the other day, giving his place of residence as Sleepy Eye, Minn. Half an hour later another guest registered from Painted Post, la. The clerk paid no especial attention to this, but when the next man to regis- ter boldly wrote ‘‘White Pigeon, Mich.,’’ after his name, both the clerk and tle bookkeeper began to get inter- ested. While they were talking about the queer names that had been given ta some of our western towns, a dignified looking man stepped up to the office, whirled the register around, and scrawled ‘‘Horseheads, N. Y.’’ Superlatives. Dr. Johnson says in his ‘‘Grammar of the English Tongue:’’ ‘‘The com- parison of adjectives is very uncertain, and, being much regulated by commo- diousness of utterance, is not easily re- duced to rules.”’ Then he quotes passages from ‘‘Para- dise Lost,’’ in which these words are found, ‘‘virtuousest,’’ ‘‘powerfullest, ’’ and a passage from ‘‘Samson Agonistes’”’ which contains the word ‘‘famousest.”’ Surely Milton had an ear.—Notes and Queries.
