terday under the influence of heavy offerings of
commercial bills, and the fact that the market
declined in the face Of high rates for funds
abroad naturally encouraged confidence in the
strength of the international exchange situation
and suggested the ip1probability of gold ship

future. That New FORK is in better control Of
the foreign exchange market than over before In
history is attested by the failure of sterling

The etiquette of Holland Is exceeding
~ strict in all classes. The young girl is
most carefully chaperoned, and she
never goes anywhere, even to church,
unless accompanied by her parents,
some male relative or other equally
trusted attendant AT a dance the
parents sit round the wallis slipping
their coffee or wine, and the young
men must make the best of their
chances in the opportunities afforded
by the dance. for when It pleases the
guardians to depart there is no help
for it, the girls must go too. An I'M
married girl always takes the right
arm of her escort. while the matrOn
takes the left, perhaps because 1t is
nearer the heart.

Birds are often purchased in the bird
market at Lucknow, India, In order to
be set free again This Is done by Hin
docs as a work OF merit and by No
hammedans after certain rites have
been performed as an atonement, In
Imitation of the Jewish scapegoat. It
is essential that bird used for this
purpose should be strong enough to ny
away: but that does not induce the
cruel dealers to feed the birds, or to
refrain from dislocating their wings or
breaking their legs. They put down
everything to good or bad luck, and
leave the customer to choose a strong
bird, II he can find one, and to go away
If he cannot The merit obtained by
setting bird free Is not attributed to
Deity, but It is supposed to come in n
large measure from the bird itself or
from it's attendant spirit, and hence
birds OF good or bad omen. and es-
pecially kites and crows. are in much
demand and are regularly caught to be
sold for this purpose.

In old England, before the law was
passed which prohibited ''cruel and un-

ers were often condemned to death by
boiling. In such cases the victims
were chained in large kettles of cold
water, which was gradually heated
until it caused the flesh to drop from
the bones. The last English victim of
the "boIIlng death" was one Rouse, a
