Counting In Andalusia.

1t is well known that in Spain the methods of
''courting' are often exceedingly singular, says
Youths Compdnion. Generally the lover sig
mites his choice by coming for three successive
evenings with a guitar and singing a serenade
under the fair ones window. and if he is regard
ed by the young woman's parents an eligible
candidate he is invited into the house.
In Andalusia, Spanish province, still more
singular custom has lately been observed
When young man there aspires to the hand of
q young lady he calls for three successive DAYS
at her parents house at the same hour The
third day he always brings a cane and goes
away leaving it behind him, apparently forget
ting it.
II his suit is regarded with favor the young
girl keeps the cane, and gives it back to him
when he calls the next day. This makes him
her affianced husband.
But if, on the contrary, the young mans suit
Is not pleasing to the family his cane is thrown
out of the window into the street. This is re-
garded as delicate way Of telling him that he
need not come again, and the young man, who
has fingered near meanwhile, reads his own
fate in the indignity put upon his walking
stick,

A Taxpayers MenaRerie.

The taxpayers of Washington are kicking
vigorously against the decision of the House
that they must pay half the expense of
maintaining the National Geological Park,
better known as the governments animal
show. The show doesn't amount to a great
deal. There are a few monkeys and
parrots, some snakes and live
buffalo, and perhaps a lion and
Q tiger in it 1t is hardly worth look
ing at. But the Washington people
wanted the animals, and insisted upon hay
ing geological park with as much noise as
Atlanta insisted upon having an elephant
They thought it would be just too nice to
have some wild animals to show to their
children. But they didn't think they would
have to help pay for food for them. They
expected the people outside Of Washington
TO do that. They hoped to have all the
benefit of the animals at other peoples ex-
pense.
The Washington people are thrifty lot.
The government pays half the taxes of the
place, and they are constantly finding fault
because the government doesn't pay all of
them. Next thing they will have petition
in congress asking for pensions or rations.
They seem to think they are the wards of
the nation. The most of them are. They
draw their provender from the public crib,
and their never ending complaints about
the quantity of it make the country tired
The House did right 1t ought to saddle
the whole of the support of the monkeys,
parrots and snakes upon the District of
Columbia. Nobody cares anything about
the Geological Park except the Washington
babies, and If Washington fathers are IN
willing to pay for the amusement of their
babies they ought to emigrate.

officers over $4,000 1t is the custom there,
when goods are imported, to take to the
appraisers store 10 per cent. of them, from
which the total duty is to be calculated.
Then the custom house broker has to file
bond of $500 for the payment of the duty,
and the owner is allowed to take the other
nine-tenths to his place of business. Jan. /
Of this year the Chinaman went through
this routine, leaving 10 per cent. of large
shipment of opium with the appraiser.
Now that he is wanted to pay the duty he
cannot be found. As the duty on the full
amount Of opium he imported would be
about SS5, 900, and the 10 per cent left by
him is only worth $500, he makes clear
profit of over $4,000. He gave what is be-
heved to be an assumed name. and has so
long start that it is not believed he can be
caught.

may serve the purpose for which they are

said to be capable of making twelve miles
