WeMlNg Cwtews awl CMtHtaes. The bride selects the minister. The congratulations are oil'erod in the church. The sexton aud organist are paid from $16 to $100. If the refreshments are eaten while standing, etiquette and custom require gloves to be worn. The groom attends to the feo, whioh has no stated figure, and it is hantlod to the minister by the groomsman. Floral decorations for tho houso are very f ashiouable, and at this season of 1 tho year tho cost is vory expensive. Tho bridesmaids mid groomsmen on-' tor tho church first: then the groom with the bride's mother, the bride with hor father. The custom' of making presents to tho bride is growing passe. It is printed on one corner of the wedding card, "No presents accopted." If the bride is past twonty-two tho bridal veil is omitted; neither is this fragilo toilet accompaniment worn by a widow at her second marriage. Some somber.tinted eushmoro, combined with harmonizing silk, forms a modish traveling costume for tt brido. The chapeau and gloves must correspond in huo. The custom has been arbitrary that white is tho only color for a bride, but all this sort of outward purity is just at present passe. Great liberty is permitted in tho selection of bridal costumes. The groom's costume should be full dress, if tho bride's is. In this case the coat is a dark bluo or black, cut swallow-tail; vost of white silk, tie of tho same; pantaloons black or a pale "party color." The artistic purveyor provides tho refreshments at a cost of from $2 to $0 for each guest, if a breakfast; when a dinner is given tho cost reaches from $10 to $40 per head. These figures include wino. Very little jewelry is admtssablo if the ceremony takes placoin tho church. A home, or rather houso wedding, gives more latitude in this respect to the bride. Howover, the display of a profusion of jewelry is deemed mnl apropos for a bridal toilet. A rich wedding dress designed for traveling wear has the demi-traiu formed of deep green cashmere, adorned with neat knife-plaited ruillcs, each ono surmounted with a velvet pull', made scant, The polonaise is made of tho same material, and richly trimmed with bluo silver-fox fur.

Weight mi Jutrlllen. Tho weight of tho body has often been assumed as an infallible proof of the maintenance of the condition of the body, or of a deposition of tissue, and the food which keeps up a man's weight has been regarded as on that account satisfactorily nutritious. But tho weight of tho body ia no criterion of tho value of the food takon ; because while tho weight remains constant, or even increases, water may increase in the tissues and albumen and fat diminish ; or there may he an increase of weight and deposition of fat, while there is also at the same time a diminution of the albumen of tho lody. Hudly nourished people are usually not lighter than others, but their bodies contain more water and less albumen aud fat than those who are well nourished. Every cattle-feeder knows that cattle which are being fattenod do not at first increase in weight proportionately to the food they tako. And yet people commonly regard weight as of great importance in the case of men, though a butcher will not buy a carcass on the merits of its weight aloae ; he must know tho quality of tho meat. lhrald oflknlth. 1MB XAXKK1-N NEW YORK.
