Curious Marriage Custom.

\ curious old custom still exists in
many provinces in Holland II Il
Young man is in love with girl, and
wishes to ask her hand in marriage, hc
goes about it in the following man
ner:-
He buys a small sweet cake, and
wrapping it up in soft paper, proceeds
to the house of his inamorata; upon
his arrival he is ushered into the midst
Of the family circle, without word he
walks up to the young lady be wishes
to make his wife, and lays the cake on
the table before her. The rest of the
family effect not to notice anything UNI
usual, and continue their work or their
reading; the young man turns aside
and talks to the father on mother Oh
some very ordinary subject, keeping
his eyer eagerly fixed on the gill S face
while he is cOnyersing. / She accepts
his offer she takes up the cake and cats
it. Sometimes, though Dutch, she is
cOquettlsh, and tortucs the young man
by turning it over and playing with it,
before she decides to bite, and then en-
raptures him by eating it to the last
crumb If, on the other hand, she
wishes to have nothing more to do with
her admirer, she quickly rc@raps thc
cake in its covering and puts it back on
the table. In this case the young man
takes up the cake satisfied with his re-
fusal, and with a I'anrr0ai t4jganten"
leaves the house. The matter is then
kept profound secret by thu members
of both families, aud the outer world
never hears of it, If, on the other hand,
the affair progresses fayorabsy, and the
suitor is accepted, the father takes him
on one side to ask about his business
prospects, and if he can afford to take
his wife for wedding journey up the
Rhine, the ideal wedding trip of all
Dutchmen. After the young couple
become engaged, unlike most contincn-
tai nations, they have the same free
dom as in England under similar cir
cumstances, and they are also at liber-
ty to break off the engagement, if there
are good and sufficient reasons for 50
doing.

How Wives Are Selected.

A Chinaman prefers a wife with small
feet, and often selects one by inspecting
her shoes, without ever seeing her face.
Ii they are small enough to suit his
taste, he says She will do These girls
marry at seventeen and eighteen, and
as soon as one is engaged She dresses
her hair in a style that denotes to all
and suudry that She is no longer in the
matrimonial market She also, with
the same view, wears red or other bright
colored pantaloOns. Women in China
wear no petticoats. Bride and bride
groom rarely see each other before they
are married, as matches are generally
made through an agent. After mar
riage, it is not customary for husband
and wife to be seen out of doors to-
gether. IN fact, most Chinese wives
are kept in as much seclusion as POI.

The Cadl's WOndrOus Wisdom.

Many years ago there lived in an East.
ern. land man who was prominent
and thought to be rich. When he died
however, it was found his possessions
we're very slight indeed. In his will
among some trifing legacies, was the
following;
"Of the three young men who CON
sidered themselves my children, | have
just claim to one alone. The others
are not Of my blood, but adopted. |
will not say who the rightful heir is.
but have left the matter to the decision
Of the cadi In his possession is one
thousand pieces OF gold, which will be
given to my true child after lie has
proved his claim
The three reputed sons at once re-
paired to the cadi. He thereupon
handed each Of them a gold ring, say
ing
Take this ring aud 90 about in the
world and seek your fortunes. Use
;he jewel as talisman, watch over it,
preserve it, and after three years return
to me | will then announce who is
the true son of his father and deliver to
him the thousand pieces of gold"
The boys at once Withdrew and dis
appeared in different directions amid
the crowded haunts Of men. They
never crossed each others path nor
heard Of one another, but at the APP
pointed time again made their appear
auce before the cadi for veal or foe.
"Where is your ring?' he asked of
the first and eldest
The gold band was handed to the
Judge with the remark
1T is here. Ii has brought me luck.
l have had good worldly fortune, and
all goes well with me-"
Then the second was questioned.
Here is my ring" He opened his
cloak and showed it, bound around his
neck by a silk ribbon. Fortune has
followed my every footstep. 1t has been
continual blessing"
At last the cadi turned to the young
est.
'Well, aud where is your ring?'
The boy was silent A blush stole
over his face and his eyes fell to the
earth. Then, after a struggle, homan-
aged to say
Il haven't got it. I've pawncd it. "
The cadi, handing him over the
thousand pieces Of gold, cried A.
"The money is yours BY your dis
posal Of the ring recognize that you
are really your fathers son.

Looking for Wealth

The first question thatan cnteTprising
young immigrant asked at the barge
office upon his arrival there not long
ago was:
"Whcro is Gold street,
"Siyer street is a good deal nearer, ''
answered a waggish officer.
But the young man had no interest
in silver lie wanted gold. When he
was asked why he inquired for Gold
street he assumed a mysterious air and
declined to answer. The officer tod
him where the street was and he went
away looking quite satisfied.
"Thcre, now, that is an instance of
what they all expect" observed the
officer as the young man turned away.
II suppose that young fellow thinks
that all he has to do is to 60 straight To
Gold street and fill his trunk with gold
cobblcstones. Well, | fear disappont-
mcnt awaits him.

Improved In Jail,

Every time n batch of jail prisoners are arraigned in the criminal court am struck by the vast improvement in their personal appearance that a lew months confinement gives them. In 90 cases out of 100 they are a course, brutal, heavy drinking class, and show their low habits in their faces. In the jail they get the whisky out of their skins, the so called iail pallor leaves their faces clear and white, and more or less refined, and they make n better impression upon a jury than they certainly would if brought to trial when first arrested. A striking case in point was Sanders, the dog catcher, who killed Police Officer Printz. When he was first put in jail he was about the toughest. boated and altogether blutalized specimen ofhumanity had ever seen
 Eight months later he was brought to trial, It wns almost impossible to recognize in the pale, finely drawn features of the quiet. self possessed and entilligent talking prisoner the hoodlum of the previous year. His appearance made such good impress sion that he got offwitha two years sentence. when l believe if the same jury had seen him as l did he would have been sent pfor life.--Circuit At torney in St. Louis Globe Democrat.
