TYROLESE CUSTOMS.
Peculiar Manner IN Which PROPOSAL
of Ma7riag2 Are Made.

Peculiar Manner IN Which Proposals
of Ma7riagc Are Made.
There is an old custom prevailing
among the Tyrolese regarding propos-
ais of marriage The first time a young
nan pays a visit as avowed lover he
orlngs with him bottle of wine, of
which he pours out glass and pre-
sents it TO the object If his desires.
If she accepts it the whole affair is
settled. Very often the girl has not yet
made up her mind, and then she will
take refuge in excuses so as not to
drink the wine and yet not refuse it
point blank, for that is considered a
gross insult, proving that she has been
merely trihing with the affections of
her lover.
She will, for instance. maintain that
the wine clocks sour or that wine dis
agrees with her or that she is afraid of
getting tipsy or that the priest has for
hidden her to take 4ny-in fact, she
makes use of any su1torfuge that pre-
sents itself at that moment.
The purport of these excuses is that
she has not come to decision and that
the wine offering is premature.
This strange custom, dating very far
Understanding to one account, it was
known as early as the ninth century
is called bringing the wine" and is
synonymous with the act of proposing.
Shy lovers loath to make sure OF
their case beforehand, find it a very
happy institution. Not a word need be
spoken, and the girl is spared the pain
full NO of civilization.
If any of the wine is spilled or the
glass or bottle broken it is considered
a most unhappy omen-in fact, there is
a peasants saying for an unhappy
marriage, ''They have spilled the wine
between them"

In Tins Of Peac >.

In the first months of the Russia
Japan war we had striking example
of the necessity for preparation and the
early advantage of those who, so to speak
have shingled their roofs in dry wealth
er. - The virture of PREPARATION has made
history and given to us our greatest
men, The individual as well as the
nation should be prepared for any
emergency. Are you prepared to sue
cessfully combat the first cold you take?
A cold can be cured much more quick
ly when treated as soon as it has been
contracted and before it has become
settled in the system. Chamberlain s
Cough Remedy is famous for it's cures
of colds and it should be kept at hand
ready for instant use. For sale by

A Costly Desk.

There Is a famous old desk in the
British war office in London. 1t Is a
desk to which old hands point with
emotion. That desk cost the nation
$25,000,0O0. In it is a pigeonhole with
story. 1t was into that pigeonhole
that the dispatch of King Theodore of
Abyssinia was thrust-and forgotten.
After we had been to war the docu-
ment was found in the desk, and we
all learned that there ought to have
been no war.-London Sketch.

Remedy Than of All Others

The following letter from a locality
where Chamberlain Cough Remedy

cedented demand for it that the medi-

Remedy ever since it was introduced
into Canada, and / sell as much of it

On the Riviera line near Ventimiglia,

When the COW had been removed from

Two minutes later it once more came
