Near Hibiya Park, Tokyo, Japan, is the Hibiya Diajinga, or the great god shrine, the most famous place in the empire for the celebration of mar- riages. Twelve years ago such a custom, that of performing wedding services at shrines, was unheard of, and it was Dr, Baron Takagi who es- tablished the practice, following that of the western marriage rites in most respects. Since this innovation the Daijingu wedding has become most popular, and it is seldom nowadays of good standing is married in the old fashioned manner with the ceremony of three times three cups of sake. { ‘When the bride and groom and the | relatives have assembled at the shrine the head priest advances to the altar of the gods and says a prayer to the ancestors of the country and then makes the couple promise that they will never separate. The priest then serves the gods with sake, after which it is given to the bride and groom, who make a vow before the gods that | they will be constant to each other, | and such a promise given before the ! gods is one that does not admit of any lapse on the part of either party con- cerned. Then the sake is given to the rela- tives, and the signal is made to repair to a western hotel for a foreign ban- quet or perhaps to a native restau- rant where a purely Japanese menu will be served. WAS SHAMEFUL COME-DOWN James B. Hammond Commlsentetl With Son of High Financier Who Went Wreng. The late James B. Hammond was, though . a millionaire himself, no friend to “high finance.” The son of an ex-high financier went wrong some. years ago, and one afternoon sent for Mr. Hammond from the Tombs. The young man; with sighs and tears, confessed in his cell in the Tombs that he had stolen a dollar. Mr. Hammond did not upbraid the youth; but, clapping him on the shoulder, said: “What a come-down! Why, your father would never have dreamed of taking less than half a million!” “Hunger Strike” Won Out. A peculiar strike has been settled in w New York home without the aid of an arbitrator. Mrs. Blank has two chil. dren, a boy of seven and a daughter two years his junior. The mother, a widow, is a wage earner and spends four hours every day away from her home, leaving the children in charge of a young woman who is a distant relative. One day the woman came meal had not been touched, and the boy told her that he and his sister did not like “Louise” and would not eat, “No, never, till mother came home.” Thinking that this was only a passing whim, the woman went to her work the next day, admonishing the chil- dren to be “real good.” On her return she found the children hungry with the prepared meal untasted. Fearful of evil consequences, the woman sur rendered. Louise was sent to her home and the children have been “real good” ever since. Thinking of what the next demand may be, the mother wonders if she did right.

Hard to Get Right Course. Playfulness is a good means of soft- sning social distances. A stiff, grave man is always in danger of being ‘eared too much. On the other hand, as the self-love of many people is suspicious in the extreme, you must sxpect that your innocent playfulness will often be mistaken for ridicule.— Sir Arthur Helps.
