C~rious Marriage Customs.

Wedding customs In Seryia, that lit
tie Kingdom In Europe, are curious in
deed from an American standpoint.
For instance, neither the bride nor the
bridegroom Is the most important figure
An q Servian wedding, but the best
man takes tie leading part. He care
fully guards the bride all the day be-
Gore the wedding takes place, and
sleeps outside her chamber the night
before the girl Is to be- married. He
wears d big stiff sash made of heavy
silk carries a big white STAFF and a
huge bouquet all for himself. There
no bridesmaids, but two godfathers,
each Of whom presents to the bride a
silk d7ees. After the priest has per-
formed the ceremony the best man
takes the bride around the church and
che kisses MI her girl friends good-by
and Is final~ carried or to the BRIDE
groom, who at last gets his wife from
the hands OF the best man. Then the
happy couple return to their intended
home. Brlaal tours are foreign to Ser
vian ideas mud only the very rich Or
the nobility Indulge In them.

some loss of late sown oats and barley.
South of High River there is an enormous
crop. From High River to Edmonton
and from Edmonton to Lloydminster
there is an average crop of over fifty per
cent of last year, and the price is from
fifty to n hundred per cent higher than
last year. The root crop is excellent
and the live stock is in splendid condi.
ton. At the time of writing it is diff.
cult to determine even approximately the
quantity of wheat that Central Canada
will market this year. The threshers'
returns will tell the story.
The proceeds Of the excellent Western
Canada field of wheat which is here pic
tured We're sufficient to pay out of the
one crop the price of the land upon
which it was grown. Sheep raising as
well as grain growing is also a profitable
industry in almost any portion of Mani
toba, Saskatchewan or Alberta. Tht
pictured flock Of sheep is a perfect repro
duction from a photograph taken in north
ern Saskatchewan.

IMMUNITY. Besone!'
So soon as the poems. in obedience to
the hunters orders, had left the battle
field, he, on his part, gave his companions
the signal to start. Don Martial had
hurried to reassure the ladies, who were
standing more dead than alive at the
spot where the chief had concealed them.
He made them get into the carriage
again. without telling them anything ex-
cept that the danger was past, and that
there was not the slightest doubt but
what the rest of the journey would be
performed in safety.
Valentines friends tried in vain to
induce him to get into the carriage with
the ladies. He woul not consent, but
insisted on mounting his horse, assuring
them, in the far from probable event OF
their being attacked again, that he could
be still Of some service to his compan-
ions in spite Of his broken arm. The
latter were too well acquainted with his
infexible will to argue or press the point
with him further. so Curumilla remounted
the coach box and they started.
The rest of the journey was performed
without any incident, and they reached
the quinta twenty minutes later.
The skirmish had taken place scarce
two miles from the country house. On
reaching the gates, Valentine took leave
of his friend without dismounting.
What! !" the latter said to him, "are
you going, Valentine, without resting for
a moment?"

"In that case I am easy in my mind;
