The declaration of marriage in Siam is
simpler even than it used to be in Scotland
You ask lady to marry you by merely
onering her flower. or taking n light
from cigarette If it happens to be in her
mouth; and your family and the brides
family have to put up at least 500 apiece
Tor dowry The principal impediment in
the way or marriage is that each year Is
named after an animal. and only certain
animals are allowed to intermarry; for in
stance, a person born in the year of the
cat cannot marry with a person born In
the year Of the dog, or a person horn in
the year OF the cow with a person born In
the year Of the tiger; and there are similar
embargos about months and days akin
perhaps, to the old superstition in this
country that marriage will be unlucky
II the birth months of the bride and groom
are far apart. April should not wed with
November. nor January with June

The Tickets.


Each artist who exhibits-that is who is
allowed to exhibit-receves a special card
for the vernissage. with two tabs, one on
each side. each like the number coupon of
a theater ticket. On the strength of one of
them he brings in his wife in the morning
and eats lunch with her at noon. Then he
leaves her inside and goes out, toward =
o'clock. to bring in free, by virtue of the
other tab, some rich gentleman or lady,
some patron of the arts or patronizing ac-
quaintance, who Is not above sponging on
an attentive artist
The number of these free admissions
dwarfs that of the paying visitors. This
year out of some 10000 entrances only a
few over 1900 paid their way. The munich
pal council and their many friends, the
deputies and senators and their many
friends, and the long list of all who could
scrape up any connection with the foreign
and domestic press, complete the tale, togeth-
er with the stylish actresses. singers and
dancers who are needed to give a certain
note to the performance Even the number
of American journalists alone in Paris is

CHRISTMAS.

On Christmas eve the younger
and livelier element began to pre-
pare themselves for the enjoyment
of Christmas, and many were light
ly touched by the effect of the wet
stuff.
At Four o'clock Christmas NOR
ming brilliant high mass was
sung at the Catholic church which
was very largely attended by the
residents OF the town and tho
country as we'll.
After the high mass people be-
gan to circulate OH our crowded
streets TO enjoy the beautiful
spring-like weather and Christ
mas The day was a lovely one,
and most of the residents as we'll
as visitors spent the day onstheir
balconies enjoying the cool balmy
breeze, and others preferring to
promenade our streets.
Many were those who enjoyed
their Christmas to their hearts
content, and we are pleased to say
there was not the least trouble
or disturbance which is liable to
occur when booze is SO freely
used. Many of the young hot
heads were lightly touched by the
effect of the large quantity of Ii.
quor imbibed, but there were only
very few real good DRINKS.
In the evening the Excelsior
brass band gathered on the
Church green and discoursed
sweet music to the people of the
town, who certainly appreciate
their sweet melodies.
If we take the past Christmat

cay it was the most agreeable

membered by those who wore for

The average planter has but little use
for finely spun theory, whether it per-

strict adherence to the policy Of deal
ing in facts represents the secret Ut their
success. They know their seeds are right
before they are sent to the many thou
sand dealers from whom the planter
