LESSON FOR LEAP YEAR.
GyDsies Never Wait for Thnt Lucky
Time If Thcy Want "a Propose
"A Har::: csc CuHta3a.

In England leap year is supposed to
confer upon the fRi, sex the privilege
If choosing life partners for better OF
or worse, but the custom is more hon.
bred in the breach than in the obsery-
Gnce. The gypsios, especially in Hun
gary, enjoy and make a very extensive
Use OF the right at all times, in accord
lnce with an ancient custom. Thus q
narriagcable young gypsy girl in the
and OF the Maeyars, gays the London
Telegraph, as soon as her heart is smit-
ten, takes good care that the smiter
shall hear OF the havoc he has wrought
md have a chance OF c~onsoling her.
With this praiseworthy object in view,
she has a love letter inGited, places a
coin in a piece of dough, bakes it and
throws the billet douX during the night
into the bed chamber of her bridegroom
elSct. Then she possesses her soul in
patience and awaits developments. The
Burmese maiden begins her marriage
campaign at a much earlier stage. In
order to get together a goodly gather
ing Of young men from whom to choose,
she places a lamp in her window at
night-it is known as the lamp Of love"
-and entices all those youths who are
candidates for the order of benedict. In
sunny Andalusia the peasant girl whose
heart has been stolen by a stalwart
young h~usbandman prepares a tasty
pumpkin cake and sends it to his home.
If he eats it-ard the Andalusian girls
take good care to make it highly edible
THO pair are GOrlhNith hetrOIhed.

can be paid to iarm hands. The gov
ernnlent served notice on the plant.
ers that wages paid farm hands must
be net less than $1.5o a day, instead
Of rs cents and one dollar, which
were the ruling rates. Now, that
sounds like a good deal of an in
crease, says the Boston Herald, and
Sl.50 a day, which would mean nine
dollars a week, seems q high rate of
wages for farm labor in Central Amer
lea. But this money is Guatemalan
currency, not gold. In gold, wages Of
$1.50 a day would mean a fair pay,
but in Guatemala $3.50 of the deprc-
ciated currency Of the country Is
equal to only about nine cents in our
wi coinage. This decree, therefore,
raises the minimum Of farm wages
from four and onc-half to six cents
per day TO nine cents a day. Even the
higher rate can hardly be considered
liberal, for, assuming that there are
300 working days in the year, this
would mean that the Guatemalan farm
hand is to be paid for a years work
$27, or less thar is paid in many in
stances for farm labor in our own
country for a single month.

known by the company he keeps.
