PARADED |N WEDDING FINER Poéin_llar Guatom of Eightesnth-Cen- tury New England Woulid Seem to Put Premium on Vanjty. An unusual custom in vogue in New England in the Eighteenth century which caused newly married couples to appear at church on the four Sun- days following their union dressed in all the bridal finery they could get together, is recorded by Edwerd J. | Morris in his book, “The Psychology of Dress.” “This, of course, stimulated a rival- ry between families, not lkely to fur- ther the Puritan alm of modesty in appearance. Those who could afford it had four distinct sets of finery, one for each’ Sunday, that there might be no monotony. for those who formed the audience. In many communities a pew was set apart in which the brl- dal pair was shown, so that the con- gregation knew just where to look for the objects of interest. “These selected seats were often in the gallery, sometimes the front pews of ‘the center alsle, and at times in-| other prominent places. The couple generally arrived a bit late, that the observers might all be seated before thelr arrival; then they walked slow- ly arm in arm to the assigned seats, while the entire congregation gave thelr hushed and respectful attention. At an appointed time, generally just before the sermon, the comple arose and turned slowly around two or three times, that every angle of thelr ap- pearance might be viewed; they then sat down,” Fish’s Nest in a Clam Shell. The goby (of which there aré many kinds) selects the clean valve of a clam and uses this as the ready-made nest. The pair (for the goby mates with but one and is jealous of any rival) hover round an Inverted valve and then the male scoops out the sand | from underneath it, forming a cavity, the shell being slightly tllited and pressed_into the sand.

There is in Cuba a curious grass, Cenehrus echinatug, which bristles with tiny sharp-pointed splkelets upon which multitudes of insects are im- paled, by night as well as by day. The wings of the victims are plerced and entangled by the barbed spikes, so that most of them are unabie to get away, and thus perish miserably. Even a large, luminous snapping beetle, which is so strong and active that it can with difficulty“be held in the hand, falls'a victim to these vege- ‘table bayonets. Tt has been observed, however, that two species of insects, @ large bug, Ochalus, and an earwig, readily free themselves from the spikes. Minute insects are not caught. | The grass does mot appear to derive found elsewhere in the West Indles and In southern Florida. chiidisn Reading.

I have seen many flat-topped kopjes in Africa. I have seen the bare and golden Atlas range drop away into the golden sands of Mogador, but I huave pever seen anything resembling its mighty mass which is the dom- inunt, the royal fact of the Cape Pe- pinsula, It is by virtue of its mass and the colossul buttressed cliffs which form its walls that Table mountain Is majestic, as also by the abruptness of its rise from the visible sea-level. The helght of inland moin- tains Is a matter of faith ryther than sight; but this mountain, like Etna and the Peak of Teneriffe and others whose o4ts are in the sex. announces its stature at once to the eye.- It rises more lwmediately from the sea than either of these, yet not so immedi- ately a8 it appeurs to do when seen trom the bay. It throws out toward the ocean low spurs of mingled rock and green banks. In spring these grassy banks are all set with flowers. Among them 18 a pretty white flower, about the size of a narcissus, though different in shape, of which I have seen a bouquet in England, many weeks after it had been gathered at the Cape, standing in a vase Without water -and still quite fresh. o . . —Margaret L.
