ness on and the money for building a
house for their habitation?"
Every intending bridegroom must either
possess house or signify his willingness 10
erect one previous to his marriage. If
house has to be built it is, when possible,
erected near to the home of the girls par
entS. 1t thus happens that If a man has
many daughters and plenty of land. he
may ultimately be surrounded by a small
colony of descendants and the fortunate
mother-in-law is able to keep a watchful
eye upon the doings of each and all of her
SOnS-in-law.
At this final conference they settle the
amount of money which each of the con-
tracing parties is TO provide, and they also
arrange how it is to be spent. They plan
the future abode of the welded pair, and
decide on the number of rooms and the
amount of furniture they are TO contain.
They discuss the wedding feast and they
arrange how many dishes shall be pro-
vided by the bridegroom and his friends.
When the last detail has been finally ac-
cepted by both parties the young lady is
informed that she is TO be married.
1t might reasonably have been supposed
that the engaged couple would be permitted
to confer with one another, to talk those
blissful nothings that take so long TO say
and which bear incessant repetition, to
discuss their future lives and TO quarrel and
make up again, as Is the wont of their
European brothers and sisters. But no;
not a word do the betrothed ever whisper
to each other. If the enamored swain
would send his sweetheart a message or a
gift he must send II through her parents.
Until the marriage ceremony is completed
the pair are supposed never to meet and
never to see each other Should the lovers
be overardeDt and transgress these strin-
gent regulations the whole business would
collapse.
THE ART OF KISSING
There is just one remark we may make
here, and that is the Siamese do not kiss
each other IS we do. 1t is difficult to de-
scribe Siamese kiss, and not very easy
to accomplish it very nicely-so 1 am told.
You place your nose gently against the
lady's check and then give a more or less
vigorous sniff 1t looks rather peculiar, but
it serves the purpose, and. after all, all
these things purely matters of custom
The marriage ceremonies last two whole
days, and 1T is not until the conclusion of
the second days festivities that the bride

take their counsel and opinion upon the
matter. Please call again
DELIBERATE CONSIDERATION.
This is the end of the first conference.
After a suitable period of waiting, the
committee in charge of the male lovers
interest pays a second visit to the girls
parents We will suppose that the course
of true love has so far run smoothly, that
the match is entertained favorably on both
sides. In this case the visitors are greeted
as follows: I'VE have consulted our rela-
tions and they are unanimously of the opin-
ion that If the young man loves our daugh-
ter and if he place implicit confidence
in her as proper person to tend him in
sickness, and direct his funeral ceremonies
after death, then we will no longer place
any barrier to the attainment of his wishes.
But how is it with regard to the ages and
the birthdays of the parties? Are they
such as are suitable to each other?'
This last question has no reference to
the ages of the young people. because there
is never any very great discrepancy in
age. 1t has reference to a peculiar Siam
csc custom. According to the Siamese
every year is under the influence of some
animal. They have a cycle of twelve
years ruled over in succession by the rat,
cow, tiger. rabbit, major dragon, minor
dragon. horse, goat, monkey, cock. dog and
hog. Now il is deemed very undesirable
that persons should marry if born in GER
tain years. A girl who was born in the
year of the rat might concevably have a
very unhappy time with a husband who
was born in the year of the dog. though
those of the goat and the rabbit might
live very peaceably together. This very
important question is settled by an astrol-
oyer, who, for sufficiently large donation.
will invariably declare that the two parties
may safely be joined in matrimony. Forti-
fled with the decree of the astrologer the
committee seek another and final meeting
for the consideration of other details.
THE QUESTION OF SETTLEMENTS.

neither of the Japanese instructors speaks
more than a few words of English. The
Presidents new physical directors are men

attention when they appear on the streets

President Roosevelt has clearly mani
tested natural aptitude for this japanese
art of fighting without weapons-indeed,
no person who does not can hope To ac-
quire 1T in any number of lessons, but he
has been materially aided in his mastery
of 1T by an extensive course of reading on
the fascinating subject. Jiujutsu, il may
be explained. first became known in Japan
in the sixteenth century. and its origin
has been traced to a physician named
Akiyama who lived in Nagasaki.
IL was while travelling in China that this
physician gained some of the fundamental
ideas of the system, including the art of
resuscitatiOn or recovering a man from
apparent death. which is now a part of the
iiujutsu curriculum. He then elaborated
the old Chinese athletic system until he
had discovered 303 different methods of

day there are many schools in Japan-fully

jiujutsu is given, but all teaching is on the
principles laid down by the founder. Many
of the schools. il may be noted, are night
schools and all are crowded with pupils
from one end of the year TO the other.
The professors who give instruction are
guardedly jealous of the deeper secrets
of the art, especially in the case of for
eigners who seek to gain an insight into
the science. In Kobe, Toxic and Yoko-

cessity of being plant for pliancy saves the
bones many a bruise and the muscles
many a twinge. To the ordinary spectator
the positions in jiujutsu do not appear TO
differ greatly from ordinary wrestling posi-
tiOnS. The experts power lies in his light
ning-like touches-that terrible leeerdemain
which is too subtle and too swift for the I'M
trained eye TO detect. Many OF the
catches in this form OF wrestling would
in American eyes, be branded as fouls-as,
for instance. one that appears little else
than plain Choking-and. indeed. the iiu-
iutsu grips and catches are not allowed in
plain simple wrestling matches of the ord-
nary kind in Japan. but they are terribly
effective in emergency work.
Probably President Roosevelts intense
interest in jiujutsu is due. in some
measure to the evidence that a govern
ment idea is back of the growing popular
itv of this cult in Japan. In the Jap
anese army every commanding officer is
trained i'm this secret science. and those
of high rank are finished students. Every
native soldier knows OF the almost magic

much of that magnificent discipline which
the Japs have shown in the present war in
the far East. The isolated Japanese sol
der is small, and would ordinarily sue

giant Russian. but with "A knowledge OF
