MARRIAGE is A LOTTERY.
Chinese Girls Know Nothing of Their
Intended Husbands IntI Ac-
tuaIIy Welded.

Marriage is truly a lottery to the
Chinese girl, for she knows not what
she is getting until she is actually
married. writes Sui Sin Far, in La
dies Home journal. Sometimes it
is kind, good husband, an amiable
mother-in-law, and much comfort:
sometimes it is IA tyrant, mother
inlaw who is eternally scolding, and
life that is WEAKNESS to both flesh
and spirit. The ceremonies of be-
trothal and marriage cause much
trouble and anxiety. The young
mans family begin the negotiations.
They engage go-between to call on
the girls family and tender a pro-
posal of marriage. If the young man
is considered eligible by the girls
parents they consult fortune-teller,
who decides whether the betrothal
would be proper. If his decision is
favorable the go-between is given
card on which is marked the hour,
day, month and year when the girl
was born. This is delivered to the
young mans family, who in their
turn consult a fortune-teller. If he
also pronounces fayorably festival
is held by both families, the betrothal
contract is signed, and the bride
groom makes a present to the bride
of Il pair of bracelets but neither
he nor she is present. The betrothal,
however, is not considered binding
until pasteboard card has been in
terchanged by the families. The
bridegroom's family provide two of
these cards, one having gilt dragon
on its face, the other gilt phoenix.
The phoenix card is retained by the
young mans family as evidence of
his engagement. while the dragon
card is kept by the girls family. The
Detrothal is then complete"

THE WORD "PLEASE."
In England IL Is Considered II Rack
number ana II word for Scry-
ants Only.

An American just returned from
two years residence in England was
recently speaking of the different
treatment accorded the word please"
there and here. "ln England please
is servants word solely; here gentle
folk use it as well. said the Ameri-
can, and when the other Americans
said that they, having Travelled them

she added. YES, but you don't real
ize it until you've tried to bring up
children abroad. At home my young
sters had always been taught to say
please In England ! soon found out
that they must not say it, if they did
it stamped them as under-bred. Now
that we've returned to America the
old school conservatives look askance
at my children and observe senten-
tiously: Those little girls don't say
"please."' But sooner or later all
parents in this country will follow suit
and please will become back mum

WAITING FOR THREE NAUGHTs
superstitfous PassenEcr, Pays Two
Fares in Order to Get Lucky
Number Rung Up,

Some persons have queer supersti-
TONS" remarked the communicative
conductor to the man on the rear plat
form.
Some time ago l was doing some
short runs on the Midvale avenue
branch. A man got in and I spotted
him by chance and noticed that his
eyes glistened as he gazed up at the
register at the front. 1t stood at 1907.
His fare ran it to S99S. He gave start
when another passenger got in and
the bell announced 5000. You know
we pick up but few from there 10 the
Ridge. | watched him. He was aw-
fully nervous. He moved and twitched
and once changed sides.
"Well, we stopped at the end of the
route and still the register said 5000.
He came up to me, handing me a
nickel. and said:
Ring that up
why, you paid me- I said. Finally
he coaNed me, telling me it was for
luck. | rang up 5000 and he got off
the car, as happy as a big sunfower.
81 have learned since" said the con-
ductor, according to the Philadelphia
Record, that it's considered lucky to
be on a car when the register shows
a combination ending in three naughts.
It's a new hunch."

SNOW FROM A CLEAR SKY.
Drifting Clouds Cover the Landscape
Among the Heights OF the
AGirondaciIs.

The most wonderful snowst forms of
all that may be seen every winter in
the Adirondacks are those that pre-
vail when the sky is cIoudless. Of
these there are several varieties. Ev-
cry week or two we would see what
looked like a fog form about the dis
tant hills, and then come drifting
across the creek valley Doubtless it
was a real snow-laden cloud that had
been drifting along until it struck our
level 1900 feet above the seal in the
Adirondacks, when the conditions be-
came favorable for the release of its
feathery burden, says writer in
Scribner's. We saw these cloudsSfll
the air with flakes that were driven
along almost horizontally by strong
gale, although the tops of our old
hemlocks and spruce rose into the
clear air and INSTRUCTED sunlight
above the highest level of the snow
producing air stratum. We even saw
the snow so thick in the air about us
that the trunks of trees six feet
above the earth were not visible, al
though the tree tops could be seen,
and the sun shone down through the
shallow storm with strength enough
to east distinct shadows We have
stood on a quiet, sunlit hilltop and
looked down into a valley less than
100 feet below us, where a snowstorm
was raging with violence, and the
temperature was fripid

IN THE GOOD OLD DAYS.
when the white House Lot Was Con-
vcrted Into n skating Pond for
the Use of Everybody

"Oh, for the good old days" sighed
an old lady at the breakfast table of
a Washington boarding house recently.
The sudden cold spell had set her to
thinking, says the Washington Star.
II remember when the ire engines
used to be taken down to the basin. a
line of hose run from them up to the
white lot, and after the banks had been
built water pumped on the grass until
it reached foot or more in depth.
One nights cold breath was enough to
freeze the ice to a thickness strong
enough to hold all the skaters who
wanted to participate. 1t was a merry
sight to see the hundreds gliding over
the smooth surface. In those DAYS It
was very unusual to get any sort Of
skating on the river, and what little
there was made the sport extremely
dangerous.
