Gambling In Sydney.

Pubi,c attention has lately been called
In Sydney to the serious increase OF
gambling tn that city. The local In
speceor general of police has made re-
port ON tho subject, in which he says
that The evil Is largely on the increase
and that considerable number OF the
mon tran cking In 1t are making large
fortunes Mt the cost OF their victims.
In twenty months there have been four
hundred convictions for gambling, and
fines of various amounts have been inn
posed, but the traffic goes on flourish
ing In such a way as to demonstrate
that the fines are utterly futile as de-
torrents. and that they bear but small
proportion to the profits. When the
last nail left arrangements were being
made for calling a public meeting to
consider the subject.
Hopkinsville Kentuckian. [volume] (Hopkinsville, Ky.) 1889-1918, 1895-10-18

trioes, including Tho Turks, Egyptiena
Persians and Arabs, cling 10 the tradi-
ton that II Is hppyoper for the groom
to see his btidentitll after the marriage
ceremony IL performed Among the
Kabyles prevails another ancient Gus
tom. After the couple has been mar
ried the bride rides through the princi-
pal streets of the village on a mule,
surrounded by picturesque mob OF
relatives, who exhort the villagers to
contribute victuais OF various kinds
toward the establishment of the new
household. ,
In rural Russia the bride is conducted
to the church by two young men and
the groom is escorted by two brides
maids. After the marriage ceremony
the bride is conducted to her new
home by the relatives OF her husband
and the groom is placed in charge of
his wife's people The Kirghese, some
times called the lords of the steppe,
ere very fair towards their young
women. If girl objects TO the youth
who wants to marry her she has the
right to challenge him to q foot race
which is conducted on such Ia basis
that she can easily escape. as the SYM
pathy of the crowd usually is with the
maiden.
But the material supplied by my in
formant is so voluminous that i could
fill column after column with interest
ing details of primeyal courtship; and
might as well close here and devote
II few paragraphs to the symbolical
customs in vogue in different lands.
Not SO very many years ago betroth-
ment was recognized by the laws Of
most European countries. These en-
actments, whose penalty was excom-
munication, have, however, been re-
pealed. Instead of being made a
social outcast the man who now re-
fuses to marry a girl after having
