Trade eXcursions to the larger cities
of the United States are becoming
very popular, because the visiting ex-
cursionists and the merchants of the
committee of the Ma'nufacturers’ As-
sociation which went ' to Venezuela
found that similar excursions from
this country to that and probably oth-
er sections of South America would
be similarly pleasant and profitable to
all parties concerned." TheVenezue—
lans are anxiOus to trade with us, and
the principal thing that stands in. the
way of their doing so is the-ignorance
of our. merchants with regard to the
conditions under which trade must be
carried on. This is a reproach to
American enterprise and sagacity- that
should not be permitted to exist:

in Boston confirms the statement. The
rich men of that city were compara-
tively richer in 1821 than they are
now. The nine largest taxpayers of
the present time own less than 4 per
cent .of- the :wealth of the city, and
the nine of 1821 owned over 8 per

It is reported now that Japan looks
with favor on the proposal for an
Anglo-American alliance, and would
like to make it a Dreibund, with her-
self as third partner 'l'nlS renders the
prospect all the more brilliant for an
ambitious nation. If we wish to ex-
tend our possessions,- as- well as our
influence around the globe; if we oe-
use to annex Hawaii, to keep the
Philippines and extend our territory
eESewhere as circumstances may open
the way—then we could not do better
than to take in England and Japan as
partners and establish the greatest
empire the world ever saw. In that
event Japan’s. alliance would be by
no means contemptible. She‘could keep
watch and ward on the wnole Asiatic
coast and give no small assistance in
dominating the Pacific. But until we
are ready to adopt a policy so diamet-
rically opposite to the one we have
hitherto pursued, Washington’s cau-
tion about “entangling foreign Valli-
anccs” will still hold good.
There has been much dispute. in
which both sides quoted apparently
good authority, as to whether the
completion of the trans-Siberian ilail-
way would result in the export of Si-
berian grain from or the import of
American flour into Vladivostock. The
road is not completed, but the im—
ports of American fiour have begun.
It is interesting to note that the
market for the flour is along the line
of“ the railroad now being built from
\lladivostock to meet the line in con-
struction from the west. This does
not settle this interesting question.

, Wedding?- In Althountflel.
Only one out of every 1,000 married
couples live to celebrate their golden
wedding. .
j Among the Kols of Central India a
sham 'fight always accompanies the
wedding ceremony.
In Persia, a bonfire plays an import
taut part in the marriage ceremony, the
service being read over in front of it.
Long engagements are rather expen-
sive afiairs in Russia. The bride-
groom-elect is expected" to send his
fiancee a present every ‘day. .
Two deaf mutes were‘recently mar-
ried in the United States by a clergy-
man who propounded the important
questions by the aid of a typewriter.
While the wedding service is pro-
ceeding in Japan the bride kindles a
torch and the. bridegroom lights a fire
from it and burns the wife’s play-
things. '
,In ancient Greece, 3. law provided
that if a man divorced his wife he
could not subsequently marry a woman
younger than his discarded partner.
(In New Guinea the single young
woman lets her hair hang abouther
shbulders in all its glory; but imme-
diately after marriage she must have it
cut short.
The Swedish bride fills her pockets
with bread, which she dispenses to
everyone she meets on her way‘ to
church, every piece she-disposes of
averting, as she believes, a misfortune.
English brides are becoming more
cool and self-possessed every day.‘ It
is different with the‘T-man. 'On several
occasions a wedding has been p0 t-

The Bayanzi, who live along the
Upper Congo, have a Strange custom
which makes life a burden to the mar-
ried women. Brass rods are welded
into great rings round the necks of the
wives. Many .of'these rings worn by
the women whose husbands are‘wellrzto
do weigh as much as thirty pounds,
and this burden must be carried by the
wretched creatures as long as they
live. '

White Muslin Gown.
White will be all the rage this sum~
mer and certainly nothing could be r'
more refreshing and becoming than a.
dainty gownof fine white muslin.
A decidedly pretty model has the Cor-
sage made'with the fashionable decol-
lete filled, in with a guimp of finely
tucked muslin, and made with a square
sailor collar extending over ’the shoul-
ders. Twcngroups of tucks with a band
of embroidery between ornament the
bodice, finished in the center with three
large satin rosettes. Tucking and em-
broidery adorn the sleeves and a. stock
of satin ribbon finishes the neck.
An inventor having produced 3. won-
derful hair, invigorating fluid, applied
to an editor for a testimonial. He
gave it in these terms:— '
"A little applied to the inkstand has
given it a coat of bristles, making a
splendid pen-wiper at a small cost. We
applied the lather to a. tw0-penny nail,
and the nail is now the handsomest
shaving-brush you ever saw, with
beautiful soft hair growing from the.
end of it some live or.slx. inches in
length. '- ' '
“Applied to door-tops, it'does. away
with the use of a mat. ‘ Applied to the
floor, it will cause to, grow therefrom
hair sufficient for 3. Brussels carpet.
A little weak lather sprinkled over ‘a.
shed makes it impervious to the wind.
rain, or cold. It is good to put inside
children’s cradles, sprinkle on the road-‘
side, or anywhere that luxurious'grass
is wanted for use or ornament. It
produces the effect in ten minutes."
It reads like some of “Dagonet’s”
remarks on his wonderful Tatcho.
Silks for all Occasions.
Among the new-old silks to be worn
on dress occasions this summer are
pretty matelasses and frills .~and bro-
cades of remarkable and most varied
weaving, some of them being softly
finished and appropriate for the cling-
ing effects in dress; others crisp and
stately, to make into elegant redin-
gote gowns. Still {other weaves have.
branching flowers and other designs
brocaded in exquisite hand-painted ef-
closely twilled silk, yet without the
glaring lustre of satin; or they have
stripes like soutache-work or reseda,
red or light brown grounds. Repro-
ductions are also shOWn of fine faille,
of lustre so brilliant that it is called
faille diamant, striped with shaded
vine7traceries outlined with a contrast-
ing color, or diflerently woven. Ec-
clesiastical silks are shown in rich de-
signs seldom woven save for priestly
garments. Soft-finished silks, exact
copies from those worn in the time of
Louis Quinze, have stripes of green
alternating
with pale old-rose stripes strewn with
green leaves and shaded fleurettes,
while tiny bouquets are on pale creamy
parchment-colored satin or rapped silk
stripes.
