The farmers of the region of Minnesota

degree. This region expected to raise
100000 bushels of wheat. 1t is now
feared that thousands of acres OF wheat
are utterly ruined. At Larimore, N. d..
there was quite a scare when it became
known that wheat in this vicinity was
damaged by smut. The discovery was

emerged from the office, declined to
answer single question touching their
deliberations.

Curious and ANGLE Custom Observed II

Curious and ANGLE t Custom Observed In
the Town of Arton.
A singular and ancient custom takes
place the first T ursday in December
every year in the little Belgian city Of
Arton. This is the celebrated St Mich.
olas festival, and its counterpart is
probably impossible to find in any
country.
Peasants, male and female, enter the
city in the early morning. all dressed
in their holiday dress and all bent on
being married. The young men
and women ma CHI up and down
on the market place, and as soon
as young peasant sees the
girl for whom he has liking he in.
vites her to one o. the many cabarets
Or cafes that surround the market,
and here I a reement and condi-
tions for the mar iage are talked over.
The young pc SAINT is always at
tended by an Important persona &c
called 'the Spokesman" This pers IN
plays most impo -tant part. and wit h.
out him no me- rriage could be ar.
ranged. This m enjoys the conf
dence of both psrties; he knows the
qualifications every young peasant
and how much OF a marriage portion
each girl is provided with 1t is he
who does the talking for both
parties, and, if an agreement
is entered into and a wedding
is the result, he receives certain part
OF the wedding portion, new high hat
and pair of boots. AS long as the
consultation between the two families,
commenced at the festival, continues
the spokesman has good time. He is
entitled to the best of food and drink,
and if he ceessfully carries out the
negotiations he is the first one to be
invited to the wedding.
As soon as a couple are engaged,
which must be done before the festival
is over, the custom is for the beau to
purchase some or; nges and candy for
his girl and She p, esents her intended
with pipe aud a package of tobacco
