A Remarkable Wedding: Procession
Marriage at an Karl j' Age A
Hard Feature for the II ride.
In a Hong Kong letter to the St. L'ouis
Times-Democrat the writer says: I had
not been to the hotel here in Hong Kong
five minutes before my attention was dis
tracted by a terrific noise. Rushing to
the front balcony, I was just in time to
see quite a remarkable wedding proces
sion. At first, from the noise and gen
eral style of the affair, I thought it was a
funeral, but I soon discovered the differ
ence. A funeral procession is a more
cheerful institution than a wedding pro
cession with the possible exception, per
haps, of the hired mourners. Beside
this there is one other difference: the
corpse at a wedding is a live one instead
of a dead one. I think if I had my choice
I would rather be the dead than the live
corpse.
The inferiority of the female sex is one
of the fundamental principles to which
the Chinese hold. Even Confucius does
not seem to have had a very broad and
elevated sentiment in this regard, for he
is quoted as having said, ''Of all people,
women are the most difficult to manage.
If you are familiar with them, they be
come forward, and if you keep them at a
distance, they, become discontented."
Many women here are in the habit of
praying that they may be born men in
the next world.
But this wedding procession. First,
came a dozen musicians, who were beat
ing gongs and blowing fish-horns, each
apparently without any reference to the
rest. Then followed a company of men
and boys bearing flags and lanterns, after
which came a series of gilded tables with
elaborately carved and painted canopies
over them. The display of fruits was
quite tempting, and I longed for a slice
of the roast pig and the roast sheep. But
there were also native dishes which by
experiment I had previously found to be
far from appetizing. Thus far everything
was arranged just as a funeral procession
"would be, and was composed of the same
features.
But now there was a slight departure
from the luneral order of this society.
There came a magnificent sedan chair,
the windows of which were thoroughly
-curtained, but which I was told contained
thr happy (?) bride. This gorgeous sedan
chair was followed by others, and also by
gayly decorated jinrikishas, in which were
seated the relatives of both contracting
parties. More so-called musicians fol
lowed, and the procession wound up with
load of boxes, which I inferred con
tained the marriage offerings, and per
liaps the trousseau of the bride.
In the north of .Mongolia it is custom
ary for the native to capture his wife
after a chase, and in any part of the em
pire the latter becomes his property when
the twain have formally been made one
flesh. Marriage usually takes place at an
immature age. In the great majority of
cases the bridgroom never sees his in
tended wife until the wedding night, all
negotiations being conducted by go-betweens.
This intercessor lays the suit
before the girl's father, who rejects or en
courages it just as he pleases. In case of
a favorable response presents are ex
changed, and after consulting the augu
ries, an engagement is entered into. In
case a piece of chinaware should be
broken in either home, or an article be
lost within three days of the engage
ment, this is considered good ground
for the immediate dissolution of the en
gagement. Astrologers determine the wedding
day, which is entirely beyond the con
trol of the pair. The ceremony takes
place at the home of the bridegroom, to
which the bride is escorted by the
groom's "best man," being lifted from
her sedan chair over a pot of burniDg
charcoals at the threshold.
The bridegroom meanwhile is waiting
for his unseen dulcinea in a reception
room, being seated on a raised dias. Ap
proaching this dias, the fair one pros
trates herself humbly before her future
lord. While she is in this attitude of
humility he descends benignantly to her
level, removes her veil and gazes for the
first time upon her face. Then, without
exchanging a word, they seat themselves
6ide by side, and each try to sit on a part
of the other's gown, in order to deter
mine who is destined to hold sway inth3
household. There is no real occasion
for this, since there is a tacit understand
ing that it will be the man.
The trial of skill over the pair pro
ceeded to the ancestral hall, and there
worship heaven, earth and their ances
tors, after which dinner is served. The
most singular feature of the wedding re
past is enforced abstinence from all the
dainties on the part of tne bride.
Later in the' evening the bride will an
swer conundrums as they are propounded
to her by the guests. The wedding-day
is the last occasion upon which the wife
can enjoy the society of her husband in
public one of the hardest and most bar
barous features of social life in China,
After the-labor of the day no citizen of
the Flowery Kingdom can take his wife
and family for a pleasant walk at dusk:
neither can he accompany her to a picnic
or public entertainment without violating
the proprieties. Uf course, these restnc
tions are measurably broken down at the
open ports.
As if it were not enough for a woman
to secure her husband by means of such
-a leap in the dark the laws are such that
she maybe divorced by her husband when
he gets tired of her on any one of the f ol
lowing six grounds: Jealousv. leprosy,
stealing, disobedience to father-in-law or
mother-in-law, barrenness and garrulous-
ncss. But no offense which the husband
may commit entitles the wife to claim a
divorce from him. Some women go into
nunneries or commit suicide rather than
accept the burden of married life. "Wid
ows can not remarry without committing
a sjross breach of etiquette. In case ex
treme poverty forces them to such a dis
reputable measure the ceremony must be
shorn of all the 4 'style" that characterizes
the first wedding.
History of the Alphabet.
IIow many of the millions that daily
use the alphabet ever stop to think of
its origin and long history? In the true
spirit of a student, Isaac Taylor, a well
known English writer on philosophical
and philological subjects, has recently
written and published, in London, two
stout volumes under the title: "The
Alphabet, an Account of the Origin and
Development of Letters." It is only by
help of recent discoveries of early in
scriptions and the progress in the art of
reading lost languages and deciphering
hitherto unknown symbols, that such a
well posted history has become possible.
By careful study of the learned essays and
scientific investigations of the latest phil
ologists, Taylor has set forth in language
of easy comprehension the origin of the
alphabet, showing that our own "Ro
man " letters may be Ibllowed back to
their very beginning, some twenty or more
centuries ago, as he asserts. We have
no more letters, according to this account,
than those of the Italian printers of the
fifteenth century. These were imitated
from the beautiful manuscripts of the
tenth and eleventh centuries, the letter
ing of these being derived from the
Roman of the Augustan age. Roman ,
letter?, in their turn, are traced to those
employed at Rome in the third century
B. C, and these do not differ greatly
from forms used in the earliest existing
specimens of Latin writing, dating from
the fifth century B. C. The ' primitive
alphabet of Rome was derived from a
local form of the Greek alphabet, in use
about the sixth century B. C, and that
was a variety of the earliest Greek alpha
bet belonging to the eighth, or even to
the ninth century B. C. The Greeks got
their letters from the Phoenicians, and
theirs are clearly traceable in the most
ancient known form of the Semitic.
The most ancient of books, a papyrus
found at Thebes, and now preserved in
the French national library, supplies the
earliest forms of the letters used in the
Semitic alphabet. The stone tables of
the law could have been possible to the
Jews only because of their possession of
an alphabet, and thus the Bible and mod
ern philological science unite in ascrib
ing a common origin to the alphabet
which is in daily use throughout the
world. The nineteenth century B. C. is
held by Taylor to be the approximate
date of the origin of the alphabetic writ
ing, and from that time it grew by slow
degrees, while from Egypt, the home of
the Jews during their long captivity, the
knowledge of their captivity was carried
in all directions where alphabets are now
found.
The Aryans are thought to have been
the first to bring the primitive alphabet
to perfection, and each letter and each
sound may be traced, by Taylor's careful
analysis, through all the changes that
have marked the growth, progress, and,
in some instances, the decay of different
letters of various alphabets. It is an in
teresting fact that the oldest known "A
B C" in existence is a child's alphabet,
scratched on a little ink bottle of black
ware, found in one of the oldest Greek
settlements in Italy, attributed to the
fifth century, B. C. The earliest letters
and many later onc3 are known only by
inscriptions, and it is the rapid increase,
by recent discoveries, of these precious
fragments that has inspired more diligent
research and quickened the zeal of
learned students in mastering the ele
ments of knowledge of their origin and
history throughout the world. As late
as 1876 there were found in Cyprus some
bronze plates inscribed with Phoenician
characters, dating back to the tenth,
even the eleventh century B. C.
Coins, engraved gems, inscribed stat
ues, ana, last or all, tne tuioam inscrip
tion, found in 1880 at Jerusalem, on
the wall of an old tunnel, have sup
plied new material for the history.
From the common mother of many alpha
bets, the Phoenician, are descended the
Greek and other European systems on
the one side, including that which we
use and have the greatest interest in;
and on the other, the alphabets of Asia,
from which have sprung those of the
East, Syriac, Arabic, and Hebrew.

passed through sieves, and which are
sheltered from insect appetite by wire
covers. Calling, we pull wires to ring
curled wire . gongs. Traveling, we are
conveyed by cable or electric railways,
hoisted by elevators .hung on wires and
hurried over wire bridges. We announce
our coming by telegraph or telephone
wires, and we thread our way by night
through streets lighted by means of elec
tric cables. Across our fields are strung
many thousands of miles of barbed wire

SUNLIGHT ALL, THE WAY.
"Good-bye, Jennie, the road is long,
And the moor is hard to cross;
But we'd you know there is danger
In the bogs and the marshy moss.
So, keep in the foot-path, Jennie,
Let nothing temptjou to stray;
Then you'll get safely over it,
For there's sunlight all the way-
Sunlight all the way;
So, never you fear,
Keep n nood heart, dear, .
For there is sunlight all the way."
The child went o3 with a blessing
And a kiss of mother-love;
The daisies were down at her feet,
And the lark was singing above.
On, on in the narrow foot-path '
Nothing: could tempt her to stray;
So the moor was passed at nightfall
There had been sunlight all the way;
Sunlight all the way;
And she, smiling, said,
As her bed was spread,
4 'I had Eunlight all the way."
And I, who followed the maiden
Kept thinking as I went,
Over th9 perilous sea9 of life
What unwary feet are bent.
If they could only keep the foot-path,
And not in the marshes stray,
Then they would reach the end of life
'Ere the night could shroud the day,
They'd have sunshine all the way;
But the marsh is wide,
And they turn aside,
And the night falls on the day.
Far better to keep the narrow path,
Nor turn to the left or right;
For if we loiter at the morning,
What shall we do when the night
Falls back on our lonely journey,
And we mourn our vain delay?
Then steadily onward, friends, and wo
Shall have sunlight all the way
Sunlight all the way,
Till the journey's o'er,
And we reach the shore
Of a never-ending day.

A HUNTER'S STOHV
IIow IT e Was Overcome and th Way hy
Wliicii He was Filially Saverlv
(Correapoii'tence Spirit of the Times.)
An unusual adventure which recently oc
curred to your correspondent while fruiting
at Brookmere, in this State, is so timely and
contains so much that can be made valuable
to all readers, that I venture to reproduce it
entire:
The day was a mort inclement one and the
snow quite deep. Rabbit tracks were plenti
ful, but they principally led in the direction
of a large swamp, in which the rabbits
could run without difficulty, but where the
hunter constantly broke through the thin
ice, sinking into the half-frozen mire to hia
knees. Notwithstanding 'these difficulties,
the writer had persevered, although
a very small bag of game was
the result. While tramping about through
a particularly malarial portion of the
swamp, a middle-aged man suddenly came
into view, carrying a muzzle-loading shotgun
and completely leaded down with game of
the finest description. Natural curiosity,
aside from the involuntary envy that in
stinctively arose, prompted the writer to en
ter into conversation with the man, with the
following result:
"You've had fine success, .where did you
get all that game?
"Right here, in the swamp."
"Its pretty rough hunting in these parts,
especially when a man goes up to his waist
every other step."
" es, it's not very pleasant, but I am used
to it and don't mind it."
. "How iong have you hunted hereabouts."
"Why, bless you, I have lived here most of
my life and hunted up to ten years ago ever
year."
"How does it happen you omitted the last
ten years?"
"Because I was scarcely able to move,much
less hunt."
"I don't understand you?"
"Well, you see, about ten years ago, after
I had been tramping around all day in the
same swamp, I felt quite a pain in my ankle.
I didn't mind it very much, but" it kept
troubling me for a day or two, and I could
see that it kept inoreasing. The next thing I
knew, I felt the same kind of a pain in my
shoulder and I found it pained me to move
my arm. This thing kept going on and in
creasing, and though I tried to skake off the
feeling and make myself think it was only a
little temporary trouble, I found that it did
not go. Shortly after this my joints began
to acbe at the Knees and I finally became so
uai that I had to remain in the house most of
the time."
"And did yon trace all this to the fact that
you had hunted so much in this swampf ''
"No, I didn't know what to lay it to, but
I knew that I was in misery. My joints
swelled until it seemed as thoutrh all the flesh
1 had left was bunched at the joints; my
angers crooked in' every way, and some of
them became double-jointed. In fact, every
joint in my body seemed to vie with the
others to see which could become the largest
and cause me the greatest suffering. In this
way several years passed on. during which
time I was pretty nearly helpless. I became
so nervous and sensitive that I would eit
bolstered up in the chair and call to people
that entered the room not to come near me,
or even touch my chair. While all this was
going on, I felt an awful burning heat and
fever, with occasional chills running all over
my body, but especially along my back ana
through my shoulders. Then again my blood
seemed to be boiling and my brain to be on
fire."
"Didn't ycu try to prevent all this agony?"
Try! l should think I did try. 1 tried
every doctor thai came within my reach aud
all the proprietory medicines 1 could hear of
I used washes an l liniments enough to last
me for all time, but the only relief I received
was by injections of morphine."
."Well, you talk in a very btrange manner
for a man who has tramped around on a day
like this and in a swamp like this. How in
the world do you dare to do it?"
"Because 1 am complete!y well and as
sound as a dollar. It may seun strange,
but it is true, that I was entirely cured ; the
rheumatism all driven out o my blood; my
joints reduced to their natural size; and my
strength made as great as ever before, by
mcaus of that great and simple remedy, W ar
ner's SSafe Kheumatiu Cure, which 1 believe
saved my life."
" And so you now have no fear of rheuma
tism?" " Why, no. Even if it should come on, I
can easily get rid of it by using the same
remedy."
The writer turned to leave, a3 it was grow
ing dark, but before I had reached the city
precisely she same symptoms I had just heard
described came upon me with great violence.
Impressed wiih the hunter's story, I tried the
same remedy, and within twenty-four hours
all pain and inflammation had disappeared.
