The Widow In India.

No institution of India has been so
exaggerated as that of the widow.
She really occupies a place analogous
to our antique old maid. now SO fast
disappearing in the girl bachelor. The
aged widow who has remained true to
her principles is regarded as Il holy
being who has withstood q thousand
temptations and prosecutions ard com
mands the respect of a saint from all
persons. She is the mother of all the
children in the neighborhood. the help
mate of all the neighbors. At evening
they flock around to hear her repeat
the ancient legends. the stories of Sta
and Saivtri. Draupdia, or sing the
songs of Mira Bal. She is in great de-
mand when cooking is needed for a sa-
cred feast. She teaches the little ones
their first hymns and prayers. She
nurses the sick, comforts the dying.
She believes herself to be bound to her
husband for everlasting time through
all births and deaths. The momentary
separation here is but one shade of her
marriage, an unknowable mystery of
destiny. 1t breaks no tie.-Everybody'

Proposing Tn Holland.

In many Of the provinces of Holland
there is q marriage custom in vogue
which is as curious as any to be found
in years search through South AT
RIGA.
When q Dutch swain falls so deeply
in love that he feels it imperative to
breathe the story of his affections into
the ears Of his loved one, he starts out
for her home, bearing in one hand a
sweet seed cake wrapped in paper. Ar
rived at the family residence, lie en-
tiers the living room, and without adj
dressing the girl lie places the cake
upon a table near her. II she opens
the paper and begins to eat, it is a
sign that the love suit is acceptable to
all.
But if the cake is left upon the table
untouched then the lover must look
somewhere else for a sweetheart
Sometimes the girl leases her lover by
dallying with the cake before eating.
In case she refuses him the whole af-
fair is kept entirely secret, and no one
outside the family is ever the wiser.

Helping a Composer of Music.

Halevy was somewhat of a pedant
in writing music. He worked very
slowly and deliberately and made hun
dreds of changes before he was sat
isfed When ideas would not come
at his bidding he employed very
singular means to help his genius
along. a kettle filled with water was
put over a fire, and the monotonous
singing Of the boiling water acted as
a wonderful stimulant on his magma
ton. While composing. his brother,
Leon Halevy. was always with him.
doctoring the verses of the text and
adding and scratching syllables wher-
ever it was necessary. For this reason
he was called "teXt surgeon among
his friends. Leon Halevy was by no
means a prepossessing man, and the
poet Heine is responsible for the fol-
lowing description of him: He looks
as if his brother had composed him."

Mechanics of Kings.

France has been q seesaw nation
first up, then down-and it's position
may be reckoned by the kings it had.
One was st. Louis, and another was
Hutin, meaning "headstrong or mutt
nous.'' Another king was the Long,
while his successors were Handsome,
Fortunate, Good, Wise, Beloved and
Affable. France must surely have been
on the top then and have progressed
farther when two kings were respec-
lively called the father Of his people
and the father Of letters.
Denmark has had q most curious ar
ray of sovereigns, the Blue Tooth,
Forked Beard, Simple, Hungry, Hare
foot, Lamb, Pious and Cruel being
among them. This latter, who was
Christian H., belied his real name by
gaining the additional title Of the Nero
Of the North. There was probably lit
tie happiness in Denmark when he sat
upon the throne.
