Life,
The moat Costly single item in the
well conducted wedding of to -day is the
cake without the proper amount of
which, saya The New York Evening
Sun, no self-respecting. woman would
dare call herself bride. It is made as
of yore, by the good old-fashioned black
cake receipt—very heavy, rich and
dark ; but no bride of any up-to-date-
ness has a large and formidable iced
confection of this kind at' her wedding.
The stately centerpiece has been broken
up into small boxes of watered white
paper or silk, tied with ribbons and
stamped with her monogram. These are
placed so conveniently at the wedding
that every guest may secure ono as a
souvenir. and those at a distance expect
boxes of cake by ]nail as the conven-
tional adjunct to the invitation. All this
costs the bride's family full $100 and
more when they arrange it for her in
anything like good style. The most ap-
proved cake boxes are about three and
a half inches square, with an attacb.ed
litting lid. They are either covered
with polished cream white paper or
white satin. The paper boxes, when
filled with cake that is first wound in
waxed paper and then tin foil, tied with
ribbon and stamped on the lid with the
initial letters of the bride and groom in
gold, cost $65 a hundred. Te white
satin boxes ought not only to bear
the monogram in gold or silver,
but on the lid must be tied a
bit of orange blossom, and the confec-
tioner charges just $1.25 for each of
these daintily prepared packages of
cakes. There are brides and their fami-
lies who not only satisfy the convention
al demands of their friends by distribut-
ing at the wedding reception and
through the mail, to absent ones
the costly trifles, but have as well
at home a cake for cutting.
The vast structures of elaborate
icing on a broad expanse of the delect-
able, indigestable sweetmeat are con-
sidered out of taste, and now the bride,
when she orders, mentions a ten -pound
cake. This is not large, and is iced
simply with a wreath of small orange
blossom sprays about the entwined ini-
tials in silver of the contracting parties.

The Auntrelian L, dyblyd.
The black ladybird of Australia, which
was introduced into California two years
ago to exterminate the black scale and
like orchards parasites, has not belied
his reputation. To these pests it has
proved so relentless an enemy that in
some parts of the state, notably Santa
Barbara country, scarcely any insect
life remains for the sustenance of the
ladybird. Trees which two years ago
were covered with the secretions of the
scale, which, in fact, seemed irremedi-
ably ruined, are now clean bright and
vigorous. "It is difficult," says an ex-
pert, "to place a p:cuniary estimate on
the eney of the black scale. In one
respect, however, the saving in spray-
ing and fumigating will probably re-
present $100,000 a year to the horticul-
turists of California. Ono fruit -grower
alone has of late been compelled to ex-
pend from $3,000 to $5,000 per annum
for this purpose, while there are four or
five growers in Los Angeles county
alone who each pay out an average of
$10,000 annually in battling with the
black scale. All this will be saved, for
the little beetles costs nothing. Then,
in addition to the economy, the trees
will be more healthful, and consequently
will bear more plentifully and a better
quality of fruit. The officers of the
Board of Horticulture are satisfied that
the black scale is doomed, as was the
cotton cushion, and aro now turning
their attention to the discovery of a
parasite that will war on the red scale,
which is causing much annoyance and
loss to orange -growers of the south."
Derivation of "prase Widow."
The phrase "grass widow," or rather
"grace widow," for the first has no
foundation in fact, and is simply a bar-
barism, or fungus, which has attached
itself to the English language. "Grace
widow" is a term for one who becomes a
widow by grace or favor, not of neces-
sity, as by death, and originated in the
earlier ages of European civilization,
when divorces were granted but seldom,
and wholly by authority of the Catholic
church.
• When Buell decree was granted to a
woman the papal rescript stated "Vidu-
ca de gratia," which interpreted is
"widow of grace." In the law of the
French it would read "Veuve de grace,"
which is in England gives "widow of
grace," or "grace widow." In this
novel and exceedingly interesting
paper, Judge Turpie also makes again
public two important historical facts :
That the whole system of law in rela-
tion to marriage and divorce originated
in the Roman church, and that French
was the official language and court ver-
nacular, not only in England, but of
western Europe, during this period of
ecclesiastlttl ascendency." — Indian-

The Outcomes of a Ranh 'Vose.
"Why did she refuse him?"
"Xie thought too much of himself."
"That is better than thinking too
little of himself. I shouldn't think she
would have refused him for that,"
"Welt, you see, he thinks himself the
best man in the world, and she had said
she wouldn't Marry the best man in the
world."
