She is told to avoid opals, as nt one
ever was known to have any happiness
who owmnl one of them. .In spite of
this, however, dealers say that there is
always a demand for ring's set with this
beautiful stone. Pearls, the supersti
tious say, aw even worse, hut eventually
the little circlet is purchased and the
time for the wedding discussed. Then
more complications arise as certain days
are unfavorable and some months are to
be shunned. May is said to be an
especially unlucky month, why no one
can tell, hut many a rhyme could be
quoted to show that this notion has pre
vailed for centuries. Ausnist is also
looked upon as a disastrous time in
which to wed, and those who marrv in
Lent will "live to repent," according to
cry old authority.
Winter seems to be the favorite season
for wedding bells to chime.in our country
at least. In Scotland the last day of the
year is regarded with great favor, and
should December 31 fall on Friday so
much the better, as that Ij the favorite
day of the week for a wedding. Sunday
weddings aro common in England, and
in the early history of ourcountry many
couples were made one on that day, but
recently such a thinj is seldom heard
of.

marriages are forbidden by the Church,
it being called pagans' day.

Tlio time arrives anJ ith it much ad
vice in regard to th color which she
shall wear and the manner of arraying
herself. Probably no girl in her teens
is ignorant of the rhyme which urges
young brides to be careful to wear
"something old and something new,
something borrowed and something
bine," in order that she may live "happy
ever after," as the storybook says.
Misfortune is sure to follow the bride
who has a speck of green in her eostume.
She must never array herself in all her
pretty robes until dressing for the cere
mony. She must never read the mar
riage service quite through and she
must not stand before the mirror one

DOGS AS HORSES.

I have mot M. Nantet, the Belgian an

try in utilizing the dog as a draught an
ImaL He has a little phaeton drawn by
iogs in which he drives about when at
home, and in which be has come from
Brussels to Paris! M. Jn'antet thinks
that Belgium, with her cheerless sky
and sodden soil, is able to hold her own,
aad be among the most prosperous na
tions of Europe, because the dog is not
illy the friend and comrade, but the
arrier of the poor man. The coster
Monger and his wife in Paris or London
are broken down prematurely from fa
tigue, and the stabling and fodder for a
donvey is a heavy tax on their profits,
hat their Belgian brethren can house
their dogs with themselves. Tbe dogs,,
after being unharnessed dine with their
masters, and in winter sleep before tbe
kitchen fire.
The strength of a good draught dog is
marvelous. lie does not spoil roads like
a horse, and when tired he asks to lie
down, a favor always granted, and, on
being rested, goes on again cheerfully.
The pair which drew M. Jfantet is of
average size and strength, and had a
long line of ancestors, who did good
work in their time as carriers. When at
an inn their master ued to unharness
them and take them with hira into the !
coffee room, where they l;iy down at his
feet. Ho drove all the w?.y, unless
where there was a steep hill to climb.
At a pbwo called Louvroil the mayor
beard he had come into the town, and
informed him that his equipage came
within the reach of the Graminont Law
for the Protection of Animals. "Very
well," answered the Belgian, who was
preparing to start, and ho ordered the
dogs to get into the phaeton and sit on
the seat, while he drew them. They
obeyed and stayed there until they were
beyond the bounds of the commune,
where they descended to'be harnessed.
To avoid crowds, who might think well
to take part with the dogs against their
wastftT, JL Nan tot kept clear of large
towns. -AtCompeign be telegraphed to
a number of Belgians hore at what time
he was likely to reach Paris, and they
went out to meet him. When he was

the journey comfortably in five days, but

Kitcnen, neips to wail at tables, but is
an inferior person. A favorite term
of obloquy among Anglo Indians is
"He looks" like a kitmutgar," which is
much worse than being compared to a
khansamah. The bahurclu is the
cook, and lie has a menial in the mus

not the Aryan way. And if there is a

imitative, indeed, is the dhurzie, not
to be trusted with any thing, even to

Anglo-India tempers are short, and
the khansamah knows their brevity
better than anybody in the world. A
favorite expression of abuse in con
nection witn undergone mutton per
haps, is in exciting Iliudustanee
"Son of a pigl" which hurts the gen
tle Hindoos feelings as much
as anything. Put the gentle Hin
doo usually replies conciliatorily
in some term of deep respect and
admiration: and certainly the uncon
scious khansamah got the best of it,
who replied to this expression on the
lips of his irate sahib, "Sir, you are

"l'mrty years ago the cantquesuon
in England was, "Who is your hatter?"
just as here now it is, "Where did you
get that hat?" It was succeeded by
"How are your poor feet?" and when the
"Dead Heart," the subject of Irving's
present revival, was brought out origi
nally, where one of the characters says,
"My heart is dead, dead, dead!" p. voice

with "How are yuur poor feet?
