In many parts Of India Hindoo girls
Ore welded not with ring, but with q
hecklet or thali At the wedding Of the
daughter Of a leading native, MouImein,
there were present among the nulner-
GUS guests Il ilindoo maiden and her
lover, whose suit had not so far pro-
gressed to his satisfaction. While the
wedding ceremony was in progress the
young man suddenly went up to her
and before any one suspected what his
object was pulled out thali from his
pocket and quietly tied it round her
neck. OF course there was a hubbub as
well as parental lamentations over this
dramatic episode, but SO great is the
veneration for the thali among Hin
docs that no one dared to remove it
from the neck of the astonished maid
en-. All concerned, therefore, repaired
to the Marianne temple, where the
act was ratified, and the maid who went
to the wedding of her friend fancy
free left the scene as the legal wife Of
bold and successful husband.-Lon-

Japan is the ideal club land. In this
country the club world has a good
many class and other limitations. But
in Japan the system has ilourished
from time immemorial and enters into
the daily life of all sorts and condi-
tions Of men. 1t is no uncommon thing
for people of means to belong to from
ten to hundred different clubs, be-
nevolent Or social, all of which exist
mainly to give the members an oppor-
tunity for one festive gathering the

ent societies, from the Red Cross to
the Mustaches and the Pockmarked,
which explain themselves.

after three successive defeats. The
victories of the Memphis club were
expected, but some of the Greenvllle
players were not up to the standard
necessary to win games in the Cotton
States league. The Memphis club is
in a league above Greenville while the

before stated the victories over our
club were expected. IN Sunday
game Rub was charged with four
errors al short, and the scorer is said
to have skipped one or two that might
