A Tyrolese Custom Which Il Both Inn

In some portions of Tyrol peculiar.
and beautiful dastom still prevails.
When girl is about to be married, be-
fore she leaves her home to go to the
church. her mother hands her % kerr
chief, which is called a tear-kerchief.
It is made of newly spun linen, and has
never been used. 1t is with this Kerr
chief that she dries her tears when she
leaves her fathers house, and while she
stands at the altar.
After the marriage is over, and the
bride has gone with her husband to
their own new home, she folds up the
kerchief and places it unwasbed in her
linen closet, where it remains un-
touched. The tear-kcrchief has only
performed half of its mission.
Children are born, grow up. marry,

Each daughter receives from the
mother new tear-kerehief Her own
still remains where it was placed in the
linen closet on the day of the mar
riaee. Generations come and go. The
young rosy bride has become wrIa-
lied old woman. She may have sur
vived her husband and all her children.

from her mother has not fulfilled its

VERY CURIOUS.
A Scotch Physicians Experience with .
Chinese Patient.


Chinese Patient.
The Chinese are firm believers in au-
spicious and inauspicious days. When
about to undertake anything of impor-
tance, they resort to divination to ascer-
tain if the project win turn out well.
An American merchant, residing at
Canton, was once asked by a rich
Chinese merchant to visit his son, who
was sick, and to fetch a foreign physi-
clan with him. Having chosen Scotch
physician named Coz, the American
called at the mansion, where they
found the invalid in his own suite of
apartments, attended by numerous serv-
ants and looking veryi i'll. The doctor
ton prepared at his own dispensary to
the sick boy. But day or two after
ward, the American learned that the
boy was better, though he had been
unable to take the medicine prescribed
by DR.. Cox. Another question devel-
oped the reason why he did not take it.
About A. D. 175-194, there lived a
famous physician named Hwa-To. now
deifed and worshiped as the god of
medicine. 1t is customary before TAX
ing medicine to burn before an altar
dedicated to Hwa-To fragrant matches,
and then, with three small pieces of
wood, to divine whether the medicine
will prove beneficial or hurtful. The
divination consists in casting simulta-
neously the three pieces of wood, which
are fat on one side and convex on the
other, into the air. The manner in
which they fall TO the ground gives the
information sought for. When the
prescription was received from DR. Cox,
this ceremony was gone through, and
the result being inauspicious, the medi-
cine was not taken. 3kf
..No good chance" said the father,
in pidgin English. TOO muchee curio!
Kok-see (Cox) number one handsome
man!'
That is, it was very curious the signs
were not auspicious, as Cox was such a
stout man, and the Chinese think stout
ness sign of ability and a mark of
beauty. = Youths Companion.

THE PLAYFUL WASP.
Johnny Tells ali About the Business En-.
terprise of This Funny Bird.


terprise of This Funny Bird.
The wasp is very funny bird; he
has two wings, four legs. and light
ming rod. He is not as useful as the
hen, but all the same he lays for
humans.
Last summer old Mrs. Bogmyre's
baby fell down on wasp. But when
the wasp let go, old Mrs. Bogmyre's
baby went right up pushing Clouds
Soon after that s.Bill Squacks'' sat
down on one. But Bill didn't linger,
he seemed willing and anxious to rise.
Then he went capering off home, He
had to carry himself in sling for
long time.
Wasps do not have to be tamed, they
are always tame enough. When one
comes up sly-like and whispers some-
thing in my ear, it makes me weep TO
think they are so familiar with man.
And then / wish they would never
come nearer than mile away.
Wasps build their nests in focks.
And it is dangerous to 60 near the nest
while the old ones are sitting.
Once, grandfather owned bull and
a wasp nest at the same time. | went
out to the farm to spend vacation.
The old bull seemed to take an inter-
est in me from the start, and didn' act
as though he wanted me to play out in
the field. So | let him chase me up to
the fence corner. where the plum tree
was that had the nestip, then Ipunched
the nest With a stick just to see if the
wasps We're at home, and out CAME the
wasps like pop out of a pop bottle. One
old civil engineer wasp slid down AIN
imaginary line and brought up on the
old bulls nose. A thrill of wild delight
seemed to go clear through the bull.
He reared up on his hind feet and
beckoned for me to come over and have
some. Butt declined. Then he yelled
to the cows to come and see what he
had found, but by the time they arrived
he seemed satisfied and with a couple
of toots he signaled off brakes and
tried race with himself down to the
back field, giving vent to his glee,in
loud snorts. As he went, he pointed
his tail up. thought that was prob
ably the road he wanted me to take.
About this time the COWS saw the
joke, and they seemed as anxious as he
to go off to some quiet place and smile.
One old cow had to leave or burst right
cut laughing, so she winked to the rest
as if to say s'Come. ladies, let us rea
tire," then they gamboled off down to
where the bull was, to talk it over with
him.
l forgot about the wasps and climbed
upon the fence to see the race But just
then an old business wasp dove down,
pricked open his misery bag and vac
cinated me in the neck; then jumped
down and ran to the house. l ceuldn' t
see very well from there any way.
If you ever see an old wasp kind OF
smiling like, and backing up towards
you at the same time, and acting as
though he had load of something he
wanted to dump, you want to flee, don't
stop to argue; if you do you viii be
bowed down with sorrow, bumped up
with sadness, and do your fleeing after
wards
think the best way to handle wasps
is to let the job to some Que else and
then go off on visit.-Pect's $ San
