A ryan *, a united people many thou
sands of years ago, but it is an Ar
yan root that has been preserved to
os through the agee that have no
history excepting that which comes
from a scientific study o f the Ian-
The United States N ation al
one o f our sister languages has
preserved this root so much un-
ehanged as has the English, though
it is found in all o f the family ; n t
Dutch come nearly as close with
and the old High Ger-
their “ ‘ster/’
i
man ia s little further off with
“ sterro.” The Anglo-Saxon has
“ steorra,” the Sanskrit “ stri,” the
Icelandic “ stjarna,” the Latin “ atel-
la” and the Greek “ aatar.”
The other branches of the lan
guage haye their “ star” words near
ly as close to the root, and they all
use the word, not in the sense of
brightness, but in the sense of
strewn or spread, that which spreads
out or dispenses, a star being a dis
penser of light.
When our ancestors had intelli
gence sufficient to thoughtfully ob
serve the stars and began to be
able to speak of them they used the
word “ star” as conveying the idea
of a something which scatters light.
From this same root has grown
scores of words which contain the
idea o f scattering, dispensing,
spreading out and strewing. . The
eful reader of the dictionary will
notice... fBefflr in many places.
“ Straws” that “ show which way the
wind blows” are from the same
root, because in the word is .the
idea of that which is scattered or
strewn. r r
“ Strew”
and “ stratum”
are
among the many children of “ star,”
and even such words as “ consterna
tion” and “ street” come from it.
The idea is in “ consternation”
through the Latin “ consternere,”
to bestrew, throw down, pros
trate. Consternation metaphorical
ly throws you down, and street
conveys the same thought of some
thing spread out, strewn with pro
tecting substances or paved-
It is such little words as “ star”
appearing in so many different lan-
iages, always having the same un
dying meaning, that tell us of
the union that must have existed
between the peoples whose descend
ants have preserved the words.—

The chief incident in a Chinese
marriage is the arrival of the bride
in her bridal clothes before the
house of her chosen one. This is a
de facto fulfillment o f the contract
The wedding day is determined
the parents of the groom. The im
perial calendar names the lucky
days, and on such days the so called
“ red celebrations” take place, both
in the city and country. The same
bridal clothes may be used several
times. That the chief part of a
I Chinese marriage is the arrival of
tbe bride at the bou»« of the groom
is illustrated by the fact that the
sons are often married without be
ing present at their own weddings.
It is not believed to be fortunate to
change the wedding day when once
decided. If the future husband
therefore happens to be called
away on the wedding day the mar-

The Devilfish.
The devilfishes are inhabitants of
warm water seas and, as a rule, do
not venture from the shore very far
out on the high seas. Once in
awhile one is seen as far north as
New York or in the Mediterranean.
In United States waters they have
been more frequently reported from
South Carolina and the gulf states
and from Lower California. They
often swim in schools or shoals and
have a curious habit of turning som
ersanlts near the surface, sometimes
leaping as high as ten feet out of
the water and churning the sea into
foam. If the devilfishes could live
and move in the air in their mode
of . progression, . they
. would . probably
be said to fly, for a sort of subma-
rine flight is really what is accom
plished. It is bv flaps of the long,
winglike fins that they speed them
selves along.
