"John, what's the matter?" cried his

"Is the pan mad?" said Mango.
Ferret drew'near -Brown, and in a

Swedish Manners.
One great peculiarity of traveling in
S wedea .ls the extreme quiet and lack
of Burry. The Swedes. are a taciture
and noiseless people, They do much
by signs and never shout; a Swedish
crowd makes singularly little sound,
-Swedes, even of the lowest class, never
push or Jostle. It is the custom to do
so much bowing anid hatlifting that
one is obliged. to move much more
slowly.thain in England to give time to
all this courtesy. When a train leaves a
platform, or a steamboat, or a pier, all

Marri'ages in Turkey.
Marriages receive scarcely any more
attention among the Turks tan
births and deaths, and there is but
little embarrassment from the adminis
trative formalities that precede and ac
company this solemn act in the. west.
There are no bann, no announcements,
no registration.. A man obtains a
wife just as he would buy a bouquet;
but neither the buyer nor the seller, ncr
the intermediary asks for a receipt.
As it is forbidden a man to enter the
harem of another (even it he wore a near
relative of the latter) to see a young
woman and talk. with her, there are no
marriages for love and no engagements.
One father meets another father, and
saysto him: "You have a son and I
have a daughter. If the mother of
your eon knows my daughter, let us
strike a bargain; if 'she does not know
ner, let them see each other, and then
set us close up the business." The
3oniditious are 'discussed, and dowry
haggled over, then all the arrangements
netween the parents are made and the

THE MYSTERIES OF CLAARET.
What Becomes of the Vintage in
Oatalonla and Andalusia.
The complaints of bpaniards that wk
will not drink their wine seem to be
open to a curious reply. There is rea
son to believe that a good deal of bpan
ish Wine comes to England by way of
France; that we. drink it as French
wine, and, of course, pay ingenious
Frenchmen a profit on the transaction.
In a report of the United States Consul
in Catalonia he says that of the wine
produced In that, the chief wine-grow
ing district of the peninsula, one-fourth
is consumed in the country, and three,
fourths are exported to France and
South America, with small lots to
Russia, the United States and Cuba.
Our counsel at Cadiz, Mr. Joel, in a
report on last year's vintage at Anda
lusia, says that in the district of Jere.
de la Frontera, which produces the
finest qualities of sherry, the yield is an
average one of about 2,000,000 gallons.
Up to the present tithe the demand for
the French market has' been limited,
biEt large orders are expected. In the
San Lucar district, which produces
Mantanilla, .the yield has been labout
three .million gallons; and "a large
quantity of sweet wine has been made
of the new Juice, blended with German
spirits, and of this about 150,00O gallons
Us/ve alreAdy beeti exported to Bordeaux
qad Cette." But the largest produce
is that of the Inferior white wine of the
Hluelva -district, which amounted to
8,000,000 gallons in 1885, and Was mnore
last year. This wine gomnmands a ready
sate to Frynch houses who send repre
sentatives t9 buy It up in advance. .It
is shipped to Bordeaux, Cette, Nantes
and HiaVre. A relatively unimportant
quantity goes to Hamburg. It is, of
course, possible that Frenchmnen 'may
prQfer these Spanish wines to .their
own; but the probability seems to be
thiat they swell the export as French
wines, a4d that we are thus customers
of Spain ithout knowing it.

The Japanese Pharnacopoeia.
The new Japanese Pharngacopcela
has Just appeared and it is hoped' that
an end will ino3 be put to the inoon
venlences which have hitherto existed
in Japan of there being ro.official stan
dard for medicines. The ch@mists ob
tain their drugs from America, Eng
land, France and Germany, and, as the
preparations vary ' considerably an
strength, all kinds of confusion arose.
The new Pharmacopceia was .under
taken some twelve years ago, and in
1880 a commission was appointed by
the Government to . carry out the
work. This commission has held 165
sittings. It was found advisable to
write the text of the Pharmaoopeia
