Burglars recently broke into a jewel
ry store IN New York and stole among
other things a gold snuffbox that once
belonged TO Queen Isabella of Spain.
The newspapers seriously announced
that the snuffbox was given to Queen
Isabella by King Ferdinand in 1869.
The longer we live the moro we unlearn.
We imagined that tobacco had some
thing to do with snuff, and, as school
boys were taught. that tobacco was not
known in Europe till many years after
Ferdinand presented this snuifbox to
his queen. Jewellers Circular.

West Virginia, with less than $780,
900 inhabitants, has but three cities
and is essentially rural and half set
tied region. In spite of her enormous
wealth in timber and mines also, many
of her counties mum Der only handful

than 10, 900 and two less than 5000.

CURIOUS CHINESE CUSTOMS.

A Brides Salutation to Her Husband Elect
and His Response.
A Chinese paper describes some anus
ing marriage customs. In a small
mountain village between Kaga and
Etchu the bride comes to the BRIDE
groom's gate and bawls out to him,
Hello, brotheri I've come"
To which the other replies, "Glad
you We come"
The bride then appeals to him,
you'll never forsake me2"
And the bridegroom answers her,
"We'll earn our living together.
With these assurances the bride comes
into the house, followed by long pro-
cession of we'll wishers, old and young.
Cheap, muddy sake is distributed to
them, and they commence dancing and
are not content until the floor gives way,
when they clap their hands, crying,
"How auspiciousl'' and take their
leave.
At Ku1ita, in Echizen, the betrothal
takes place when the parties are or Q.
The boys parents and deputation,
numbering from five to fifteen, proceed
to the girls family, who, anticipating
their coming, spread mats before the
houses and await them. After the usual
salutation the deputation present as
betrothal present pieces of hand woven
cloth for cushions and at the same time
praises the girls family, who return
the compliment with interest. Here
the ceremony ends, and the deputation
take their departure.
When the boy is 10 or thereabouts,
he goes to stay with his betrothed's
family and works like mental at the
house for year, after which he is sent
home in fine apparel. Soon after the
girl comes to her lovers house, accom-
panied with rustic music and songs.
The noise and hustle are as great as on
the festival day of the tutelary god.
When the girl comes to the house,
cushions made Of the cloth given by her
parents are piled one upon another for
her to sit upon. On these cushions the
thrice repeated exchange of the triple
wine cups, the most important cere-
mony at wedding, takes place.

The Dictionary Habit.

eyes, it's good thing for man to
refer to the dictionary, but this practice
can often be carried to excess, Asaid a
well known magazine writer. "Why,
I've seen man get so much addicted to
this habit" he continued, that he could
not write an ordinary letter without
turning to the dictionary three or four
times in order to ascertain some big
words that he could use. This, think,
is a very great waste of time, as he does
not express his meaning bit better than
if he had used some shorter and really
English words"

over an alleged denuncai;ion of the

less hot headed when angry and for
the two to become involved means
trouble. They both have their per-
