In SHETLAND.-Shetland youths are
not only given to marrying young, but
they generally choose old maids for their
wives-that is, youth of nineteen often
pledges himself to woman of thirty
two. However, in no country is lover
so faithful to his mistress as in Shetland.
l never heard of Shetland sailor who
was guilty of breach of promise, al
though he should be absent ten years.
Not only does he not break his engage
ment but he never fails to write to his
beloved one in illusions of the most en-
dearing nature, always beginning or end

Of the month, and of the day, and of the
hour when it is to be celebrated. 1t is
no uncommon thing for neighbors, who
have not been invited to the marriage, to
dress in disguise ard participate in the
festivities of the evening. The usual way
they disguise themselves is by rolling
themselves up in straw rope and black
ening the face. These maskers have
usually all the privileges of invited
guests, and are treated with great civility.
At the end of every dance every man
must kiss his female partner; highly
agreeable custom most of them think.

A Dog Aiding in Smuggling.

A family of lacemakers in Belgium,
finding that they could not sell the pro-
duce Of their industry to SO great an ad-
vantage as In France, became anxious to
dispose Of it there, and to acquire, by
that means, more rapid fortune than by
simply retailing it at home. They had
young and intelligent poodle dog which
they trained to have thorough detesta.
ton of custom. house officials, such as are
encountered on the frontiers. They
dressed up some one in that uniform,
who, always beating and kicking the dog
whenever he entered the house, and ILL
treating him in every way, incurred, very
naturally, poor Monton's animosity.
Their object was, of course, to nourish
such ill-feeling and repugnance in the
dog against any one wearing the French
douanier uniform, that he would be GER
tain to avoid them. Having succeeded
in inspiring the hatred they wished in
the poor, innocent, and unoffending Mon
tons breast, they next prepared larger
poodle-skin than the one he owned, and
after winding several metres of valuable
lace round his body, sewed the poodle
skin neatly and cleverly over it all.
Away went the master and his dog, and
succeeded in passing the French frontier;
the man, it is true, was examined; the
dog ran off from the people in uniform as
soon as he espied them, decamping as
fast as his legs could carry him. Regain
ing his master, they reached French
town, where the lace was not only sold at
a good profit, but an order was given for
a larger supply.
These hazardous Journeys we're often
undertaken, aud nothing could exceed
their good fortune and their lucky es-
capcs; but their success was not destined

our friends at the North are embarrassed
by our alliance with them. OF course this
apprehension places our party here in an
awkward position. If these appreheasions
are well founded, how can we relieve our

INSURANCE ADVERTISING

At q meeting OF the members OF the
pres. of the State on Thursday night, the
subject OF the requirements OF the law re-
lative to insurance companies advertising
their statements annually, was pretty thor
oughly overhauled, and it was determined
that If the law permitted an evasion, addi-
tional legislation should be had in order
that it might be made effective. The En-
poria Ne,cs OF last week has the following
pointed paragraph on the subject:
snow if Gov. Anthony will gently set
Mr.. Orrin 7. Welch out Of office, and ap-
point a Superintendent of Insurance who
will enforce the insurance laws of Kansas,
instead of playing possum for foreign insu-
rance companies, the newspapers of the
State will have occasion TO 90 good deal
more insurance advertising than they have
done. The very proper law requiring COM
panies to annually publish statement of
their condition, in each county where they
transact business has never vet been obey
ed, and it ought to be repealed or enforced.
Business is business"
Mr.. WEIGH replied 70 this, and denied
that he had any power to compel con-
panies to comply with the Law. We differ
with Mr.. W. We regard him as standing
between the law and the Insurance COM
panies as related TO Kansas. If not SO,
what is the use of superintendent of Insur-
ance? Does Mr.. WEIGH conceive it TO be
his duty to stand in" with the Insurance
companies because the pay he gets comes
out of them ?-Iopeka Blade.
The need of man in Office who will
faithfully execute the State laws, i. pain
fully apparent. If the law was strictly en-
forced and Insurance companies made to
comply with its requirements, there would
be fewer failures, and the opportunity to
cheat policy holders would be virtually
taken away. /; is the business of the sa-
Perintendent of Insurance to Tot only re-
quire the companies to publish annual
statements of their condition, but to see
that these statements are correct, and not
mere subterfuges for the purpose of mis-
leading insurers.
