Wedding Present Custom

Giving wedding presents is an old
custom, but it differs IN different cnun-
tries. Scotland's penny weddings were
peculiar. They were called penny
affairs but the invited guests contrib
uted shillings and occasionally half
crown, and ous of the sums thus COL
ected the expenses of the wedding
feast We're paid.
Germany has "pay wedding" at
which the bride receives her guests
with Il basin before her, IN which each
person entering deposits II jewel, a
silver spoon or piece Of money.
In some parts of Germany the rule is
that the expenses of the marriage feast
shall be met by each guest paying for
what he eats and drinks. The prices
paid for dishes and drinks are high, and
the happy young couple make u hand
some profit out of their wedding, often
realizing sum sufficient to start them
pretty nicely in life. Often 800 guests
are present at such n wedding.

Willesbarre, Pa, June 5.-This was an uneventful day in the anthracite coal miners strike, and probably the quieiest since the engineers. firemen and pumpnlen we1r called out last Monday. There were the usual scrim- images in several parts of the Wyom- ing valley. in which Workmen who re- fused to desert the companies generally got the worst of it. No one. so far as is known, was seriously hurt
 The work of the miners pickets and stoning by boys and young men is hay ing it's effect. Each day a fewer num- Der of men leave their homes for the mines. fearing that they may not get home alive. II was stated at strike headquarters that thirty-three addi- tional men joined the ranks of the strikers during the day. and more are expected out tomorrow. The operators are still able b fill the places cf those that desert or are forced to quit. Most of the companies have exhausted their force of company employees, and are HOW using nOn-union men more freely. i It was their policy not to enlist the services of strangers until absolutely 1 necessary.

During the day and q part of the night the strikers are constantly CD the watch and in few minutes can call out the entire population of the mining village. if necessary.
