Hindoo weddings.

| Hindoo weddings usually come in the
hot months, when the families have
leisure TO prepare for them, but an as
trologer must select an suspicious day
for the event. The groom is ready for
his preliminary game Of diplomacy,
which is scarcely more than "blufr."
This is a pretense to visit the sacred
Ganges at Benares and wash away his
sins In its healing waters. Generally
there would not be time before the
wedding day to complete such a jour
ney when the groom undertakes 1t, but
the readiness must be shown, and the
company sets out. When the brides
father meets them and dissuades the
groom from such an undertaking, he is
very ready to stop. He is assured,
moreover, that his sins have not been
so grievous as to need cleansing before
his nuphals. If the brides father is
satisfied with his spiritual condition,
the young man may need say no more,
but he returns and prepares the than,
or gold badge, that all married women
must wear suspended from their necks.

Too Realistic.

During a performance of captain
u.apalisse" at a Valencia theater some
years ago an incident occurred which,
for llfelike effect, left nothing to be de-
sired. During the said play some OF
the actors mingle with the spectators
in order to cooperate from the body Of
the house. No sooner had Miralles, the
actor, taken his seat in the stalls than
n daring pickpocket robbed him of bis
gold watch. Miralles seized the man
by his coat collar and called out in n
deep bass voice:
"Pollce! Help! Thieves!'
The audience, taking this little cpl
sode to be part Of the performance,
roared with laughter. Even the police
men Joined in without stirring hand or
foot.
This is no farcew cried the actor in
tones Of despair. 'The fellow has got
my watch!'
The voice sounded so natural that
the audience broke into loud applause
at "such excellent fooling." Meanwhile
the thief managed to break away from
his captor and escaped.

gentleman, backed out Of the room and

Leaves Of trees were used for writing
purposes very early by the Egyptians
and probably by the Greeks. The hin.
docs continued the use Of this material
until within a few centuries. Even al
the present time books Of leaves are
not uncommon in the south Of India
and the island Of Ceylon. The leaves Of
some AsIatic trees, from their size anG
Bmoothness, are admirably adapted FOL
books. If we may judge from the name
'1eaf" being still applied to the paper
of books, we should imagine these
leaves to have been formerly the prin
cipal material in use.
