Among the many peculiar customs
prevalent among the people of Central
America is that of parting for one year
after the marriage ceremony has been
solemnized This custom has prevailed
among the Jarnos from time immemo-
rial. There iAno courtship allowed to
be carried on between the parties prior
to the wedding. When man selects 4
woman, he obtains the consent of the
parents on both sides, and If this Is
given they are at once married.
The reason, however, for their not
living together as man and wife FOR
one year after marriage is in order to
permit of the parties visiting and
staying with their respective friends
in different parts Of the country, which
Is a customary thing and occupies the
time specified. Ninetynine out of 100
Of these marriages turn out well.

Largest Grave In the World.

The largest single grave in the world
occupies just exactly one acre of
ground which is surrounded by an
iron railing This enormous grave Is
located at Pearto Cortcz in Spanish
Honduras and Is the burial place of a
woman. The tombstone occupies the
center of the ground Enclosed, and sew
eral wooden figures representing the
deceased are arranged in statuelike
form in different parts of the ground.
There are no fewer than 16 of these
figures, which in the evening give the
place Il ghostlikc appearance.
The deceased had died rich and In
her will had specified the amount OF
ground to be purchased for her grave
and the manner In which 1t should be
decorated. She had many curious no.
tions, and the size and ornamentation
OF her grave was one of them.

Air md Story Both Out.

The bicycle "masher" Is one Of the
greatest annoyances that women cy-
clists have to contend with. A Chicago
girl disposed OF one of these pests in o
dacidcdly effective manner yesterday.
Sh. was riding down Michigan ave-
nue.. when she noticed that young
man was pedaling along close beside
her. She increased her speed, but he
still kept alongside Then she slack
ened her pace, but he slowed up also.
He did not speak, but she could feel
his eyes fixed on her, and it made her
nervous.
Presently she rode up to the curb,
dlsmounted and proceeded to examine
til. pedals of her wheel. In an instant
the trailer was at her side proffering
assistance.
Il think the pedal is twisted" she
said, land I don't believe I have a
wrench" The obliging young man
knelt down and examined the pedals,
then, taking n wrench from his tool
bag, he proceeded to tighten up the
parts of the wheel. At the same time
she took from her hat n long, shiny
pin and jabbed it three times into the
rear tire of his wheel. When he had
concluded his ministrntions, she
thanked him with betwitching smile,
and, mounting her wheel, rode slowly
away. A few minutes after he told
the bicycle repair man all about it, and
that's how the story got out.-Chicago

Caught by n Clever Doctor.

A certain DR.. Stephen Peabody Of
Cambridge Center had n fine melon
yard, so the story goes, and one morn
ing he found that his melons had all
been stolen and the vines piled up
near the middle of the yard. But near
the heap of vines he picked up gold
watch key and q seal. These he laid
away, and ut the hotel, some three
miles distant he posted little paper,
which read:
NOTICE.
Found, on Thursday last, n little above
Cambridge borough, n gold watch key and
seal. The owner can have it by proving prop
erty and paying charges
STEPHEN PEABODY.
In n few weeks stout young man
applied for the watch key, reporting
himself the unlucky loser. The key and
seal were brought forward, and the
doctor said: "Is this your property?
VIII you take your oath that these are
your key and scalp
Eyes, yes; | will do that"
"Wcll," said the doctor, that Is all
right, and now l want my pay for my
melons"
Five dollars were handed over, and
the young man begged for secrecy, but
the doctor, with the money in his
hand, declared that the incident was
too good to keep to himself.-Vermont

He Rose from the Ranks.

Prince Chilkow, the minister for rail-
ways in Russia, commenced his career
by making tour of the world in order
to take note of all the latest inven-
lions. and especially to study the inner
workings and control of foreign rail-
ways. He first took position as an
ordinary mechanic in the locomotive
works at Liverpool. and, after serving
some years as laborer, was raised to
the post of railway guard, and after
wards station master at a small subur-
ban station. When he returned to
Russia he again worked his way from
mechanic to station-master. and, after
working for several years in the latter
capacity on the Trans-Caspian and
Varsovie systems, he was made In
spector general and finally minister oil
railways.

Retort of the Man Who Yelled.

It's no use trying to discourage 4

There was one mt the Wisconsin,
Michigan game Thanksgiving Day
who made life burden To everyone
near him. He had strident, dis
agreeable voice. and he was not con-
tent to yell when Il good play was
made but kept 1t up continuously,
shouting advice and warnings to play
ers who couldn't possibly hear him. \
man who was getting most of these
ycllS directly in his ear to the great
detriment of that organ finally turned
and handed the Shouter Il tin horn.
"Sce if you can't make some more
noise. he said with bitter sarcasm.
Thank YOU" was the reply of the
youth as he took the horn. That is
just what came down TO Chicago
