WHEN CUPID REIoNs.


y Curious FESTIVAL at winch tne Ills
& tie God vs. Supresnc.
A singular and ancient custom
takes place the first Thursday in
December every year in the little
Belgian city Of Anton. This is the
celebrated ST. Nicholas festival. and
it's counterpart is probably impossi-
BILE to find in any other 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 march up
and down the market place, and as
soon as q young peasant sees the
girl for whom he has a liking be in
vites her into one Of the many
cabarets or cafes that surround the
market, and here the agreement and
conditions for the marriage are
talked over.
The young peasant is always at
tended by an important parsonage
called ''the spokesman. This per-
son plays most important part,
and without him no marriage could
be arranged. This man enjoys the
confidence Of both parties; heknows
the qualifications Of every young
peasant and how much of marriage
portion each girl is provided with.
It is he who does the talking for
both parties, and II an agreement is
entered into and q wedding is the
result, he receives q certain part OF
the wedding portion, new high hat
and o pair of boots. AS long as the
consultation between the two fam
lies, commenced at the festival,
continues, the spokesman has good
time. He is entitled to the best of
food and drink, and If he successful
ly carries out the negotiations he is
the first one to be invited to the
wedding.
AS soon as the couple are engaged,
which must be done before the
festival Is over, the custom is for
the beau to purchase some oranges
and candy for his girl, and she pre-
sents her intended husband with a
pipe and package of tobacco.
The origin of this marriage festi-
val is lost In obscurity, but it is
faithfully observed by the people Of
this province year after year.

A STORY Of Mascagni

The Philadelphia Record tells a
good story OF Mascagni, the COM
poser. During his recent visit in
London, while in his room'at a hotel,
he heard an organ-grinder play the
intermez7o from "Cavalleria Rus
ticana.' The man playing the piece
entirely too fast exasperated Mas
cagni, and descending into the street
the composer addressed the organ
list, saying: "You play entirely too
fast. Let me show you how it
ought to be played And who are
your" asked the wandering minstrel.
.''Ihappen to be the composer of the
piece replied Mascagni, and then
he played the intermezzo for the as
tonished organ-grinder in the cor
rect tempo. Imagine Mascagnis
surprise when on the following day
he sow the same organ-grinder in
front OF his house with placard on
the organ, on which was inscribed
In large letters: Pupil OF Mas
cagni."

Diplomatic Duferin.

II heard the other day." says the
editor of London Truth, "a story
about Lord Dufferin, which goes to
show his ability as diplomatist.
When the French government had
determined to have Joan Of Arc
demonstration the French minister
of foreign affairs went outof his way
to explain to the English ambassa-
dor that this was in no way intended
against England. Lord Dufferin
concurred, and pointe out that as the
Burgundians had insisted on her ex-
ecution it was fully realized in Eng
land that the demonstration was
against Burgundians. The French
man had to concur in this. I shall
be happy to take part myself in the
procession, said Lord Dufferin, The
Frenchman smiled in sickly way.
Nay, more, continued Lord Duff
FERN, there is gentleman at my
embassy who is a lineal descendant
of the Lord Talbot of that day. He,
too, will be delighted to join. The
smile became more sickly. In the
ancestral halls of the head of his
family there is possibly the armor of
the Lord Talbot OF the days of Joan
of Arc; his descendant would wear
it. The Frencbman changed the
subject OF the conversation"

"A definite critical edition of Dante
has been undertaken by the Societa
Dantesca d'Italia, the first based on the
collection OF all accessible manuscripts.
AS nearly 600 manuscripts of the divine
comedy are known to exist, the labor

sumes as settled certain questions:
The historical reality of Beatrice, now
admitted almost generally; the date of
the Vita Nuova, now determined to be-
long to the first years of the last de-
cade of the thirteenth century; the sup
position that some part of the Convito
was written before Dante's exile, now
shown to be without foundation; the
composition of the De Monarchia, now
generally held to be later than that Of

BREAKFAST BACON.
Some Care Is Necessary In the Cooking to
Have 1t Right.

Some Care Is Necessary In the Cooking to
Have 1t Right.
As to cooking bacon, most people find
frying the most handy method of serv-
ing bacon in small quantities. 1t will
not do, though, to thrust the pan on
the stove and leave the bacon to cook
itself. Some care is necessary, ,as, like
other things, all bacon does not behave
in the same way, and slice of lean
needs to be turned over on to a fatter
part to keep it from getting too dry,
while another rasher cooks more quick.
ly than the rest, so without care the
rashers will not cook evenly. In doing
small quantities it is we'll to put lit
tie bacon fat in the pan. Save it each
day when frying, pouring it in jar &c
keep it. This plan preserves the meat
from hardening. Some of the bes,
cooked bacon ! ever saw was served
daily among other breakfast dishes
The rashers were cut with mathe
NAUTICAL precision, and laid in a large
baking tin, overlapping each other, sc
that each strip of lean was on the fat
of the rasher underneath. The tir
was then placed in the oven, and left
till the meat was cooked. The bacon
never varied in appearance, the lean
being beautifully tender, and the fat
cooked through, but not chippy. Every
stranger always asked how the bacon
was cooked, and why it never looked
done too little or too much.
Boiled bacon goes further than fried,
and dainty little bit is the end of the
loin when it is rather lean. A piece
weighing two and half pounds makes
a nice piece for small family, and
should be boiled, the rind peeled off
and the fat crumbed as ham. This,
when cut off piece of good Wiltshire,
is great delicacy, and to be recon-
mended when a ham proves too large,
Then the CANNON or fillet is good
boiling piece to use as ham, and may
weigh from four pounds to six pounds.
By taking corner piece or weighing
the hand" in, much lower price is
asked, but perhaps in the long run the
middle cut is as cheap, as there is alb
solutely no waste at all.-London
Queen.

IN DAYS GONE BY.
The Old Overland Mail to the
/. Pacific Coast
Manager Benham Tells of Travel in the
West Before the Advent of the Great
steam Horse = Extent of
the Business.


1.-THE FIRST express ever run across
the plains was started by man
named Butterfeld in 1853" said
Alexander Benham, OF Montana, the
manager OF the nrst overland ex-
press, to writer of the Chicago
Journal. ut started at Little Rock,
Ark, and followed southern route
through Kansas, New Mexico, Ari-
IONA and then to Los Angeles, Cal.
About two years later, in 1860, our
company was formed for the pur-
pose # carrying the mails to the
Pacifiycoast. 1t was known as the
Central Overland, California &
Pixies Peak Express company. Will.
liam H. Russell, Alexander Majors
and a man named Wadell formed
the company, and the contracts with
the government for carrying mails
-weremBde vut IN 'thcirnHmes. Twas
chosen manager, and had my office
in Denver. g37 .Bfffi Z,
Y "The southern route run by But
fterfield did not have as much prom
inence as ours, which for years was
known as the pony express route.
It started In sat St. Joseph, Mo-,
running through Nebraska to Fort
Kearney, to Fort Laramie, Wyo.,
thence TO- Denver, TO Salt Lake City,
to P)acerville, New, and to Sacra-
mento, CAL The whole trip, ex-
tending half across the continent
was made In seventeen days, when
no accident befell, and accidents
were not so numerous as some peo-
pie have imagined. From ST. JOS
eph to Denver the trip took seven
days, and from Denver TO Sacra-
mento was journey Of ten days.
That was, of course, by the regular
stage route, and little time was lost
in making it.
TO accommodate our business we
had about one hundred and fifty
coaches, most Of which were kept
running all the time. To haul them
we had fifteen hundred horses scat
tered along the route from St. JOS
eph to Sacramento. In addition we
had six or seven thousand head of
cattle,> which we're used In hauling
heavy fKsight and transporting feed
for the horses and provisions for our
men. You can see that the business
was not by any means a small one,
and 1t continued to grow as long as
there was any use for such means of
transportation. This was until the
completion of the Union Pacific rail-
way to California in 1870. Then
overland traffic and mail service
could hi &anaged to better purpose.
by tadiessilroad, and our pony ex-
l.4oent out Of existence. But
esothat time from the day that
the route was first opened in 1860
its business had steadily increased.
Even the building of the railroad as
sisted US, for our line was the best
adapted for carrying to western sta
tions employees and provisions.
