A Custom That Is Very Old Indeed.

hereafter the wedding ceremony and the
congratulations had been said and
owned up to having worn yellow gar
ter for two years, that she had counted
the stars and carried out the various
bits Of lore that are prophetic of speedy
marriage and happiness ever after.
She wore something old and something new, ~
Something borrowed aud something blue,
on her wedding night, and, moreover,
wore a silver COMA Columbian half
dollar-in her shoe. She was showered
with the usual amount of rice when il
came time to get into the carriage and
drive away for the honeymoon trip, aud
had old shoes and good wishes enough
sent after her to make the after years
joyous ones if they all hold good, and
moreover, when she opens her trunk and
travelling bag ard the bridegroom opens
his umbrella enough rice will come to
light to make their first rice pudding, and
the shoe strapped on the outside Of the
trunk will tell its own tale
1t is strange how much enjoyment one
gets out of such harmless things but the
custom lasts. and the older it grows the
more rigidly it is adhered to. Buffalo

English Sporting Words In Holland.


1t is interesting to note that in Holland
sport has SO far developed that new
paper, De Athleet, well printed sheet,
has made its appearance in Amsterdam.
Due attention is paid to cross country
athletics, and under the heading "Voet-
bal" prominence is given to the doings of
English clubs in this country, while the
matches of the Felixstowe club, which
recently visited the Dutch, are very fully
reported. England being the cradle OF
lie sport, as the French say, many of the
technical terms are untranslatable.
Here are some English words in De
Athleet: Cross country, interclub race,
champion, partners, captain, toss. goals,
backs, half backs, goalkeepers, forwards,
record score, return match, half time,
short passing, corners, ,pacemakers, hand
leap, cricket (Which is also used for
wicket indiscriminately) runs, lawn ten
mis-, hockey, country for county,, pneu-
matte safety's, cycle, etc. Quaint adap-
tations, such as "bandy artikelen" and
"refereeschap," are to be found, and it is
noteworthy that Dutch clubs are known
by the names Excelsior, Quickstep, Spar
ia, Go Ahead Quick, Olympia, etc.

Eating.

A common error of those who have to
cater to the requirements Of ailing peo-
Pile is the singular persistence with which
they insist upon such people eating.
Whether hungry or not, one should eat,
is the cry. 1t is perfectly preposterous
TO advocate such a theory, because the
moment that people take into their stom-
achs food that is not demanded by ma
ture that moment they are paying trib-
ute to dyspepsia. 1t is not an empty
stomach that demands food, but the
stimulus Of the gastric juices. When
the stomach gets out Of order, the secre-
ton of gastric juice is stopped to a large
extent, and TO then try TO force the stom-
ach 10 work is like asking a man with a
broken leg 10 walk. He can only make
a stagger at it and is more than likely to
add to his discomfort. An excellent rule
is 70 eat only when You are hungry
