THE BEST MAN.
Marriage Ceremony of
the Present.

Under the title "When a Maids Mar
ried, :" Frederick Boyd Stevenson traces
the origin of some of our marriage Gus
toms back TO the days Of primitive man.
while we smile at the wife-steahng
propensity of the savage or half-sav-
age nations, we cherish as our dearest
form, custom that had its direct ORR
gin in this very self-same practice. The
best man. who plays SO important a
part in well-regulated marriages that
nowadays have any pretense at all TO
the fashionable, once on a time in
Sweden occupied position that was
useful as we'll as ornamental. In the
old days the Swedish groom found 1t
desirable, in fact, TO have several best
mem TO defend him from the assaults
of rivals, and prevent them from carry
ing away his bride. The Scandinavian
warrior Of ancient times was far too
lofty in his ideas to condescend to
plead for a mniden's hand. So he pa
tiently waited until some other man
who was more gallant, had obtained the
fair ones consent. Then, when all the
details had been nicely arranged. the
proud warrior, with body of we'll
trained retainers, dashed down on the
welding party, and, If strong enough,
carried away.the bride. The best men
land It was very essential that they
should be the best men in those days)
therefore, became necessary fixtures to
the marriage ceremony, and they were
so well esteemed, and their popularity
became so permanent that when the
reason for their existence was removed
they were still retained. Hence the
custom Is preserved in the best nan
of to-day."--Woman's Home Con pan

LaEnappe-Givine in New Orleans.

LnEnnppe-oiVtnC IN New orleans.
New Orleans grocers and market,nen
and dealers IN Sruits and confectioi cry
all know that lagnappe is required and
they lay in a goodly store of articles TO
be given away. A little handful Of
something goes with every purchase,
and il is astonishing how rapidly the
barrels Of gingernuts and the buckets
Of candy viii melt away. An expensive
custom, one would say, butso firmly cs-
tablished that no one dares TO resist.
Once in awhile one finds a grocer who
complains rather bitterly TO his conf
dental friends, but he will not set the
fashion Of rebelling. Ifhe did he would
lose his trade, and his customers would
seek out the lagnappe stores without
delay.-Julia Truitt, in Ladies' Home

thousands turn out at every fire. The
almost deserted streets were quickly
crowded by thousands of Japs. each

racing down every street and rushing
In confused mass. Some of the paper
lanterns were four feet long and as big

crowd at the end of bamboo and fol-
lowed by a dozen lanterns half SO
