groom, whose presence at a modern
wedding seems merely to be tolerat-
ed. But the bridegroom's case is
sometimes even worse, for in certain
parts Of the globe he may not be press
emit even at his own betrothal. The
following passage is from Chedo Mia
tovich's interesting account of the cuss
toms Of his countrymen, in "Servia Of
the Servians."
It IL the duty and privilege Of evs
cry Servian to choose a wife for his
son. AS soon as the boy has reached
his eighteenth year, the Servian peasr
ant asks bis friends. confidentially, to-
help him find proper wife. He him5

dressing better than usual and
watches the girls dancing He makes
careful inquiries about the families
that have manageable daughters.
In some parts Of Servia the young
unmarried women carry special
mark In their headgear generally q
red feather-to indicate that they are
open to proposals.
When the father has chosen 81
promising girl, he ascertains, through
friend, whether the parents would
consent to give her to his son. IF he
receives an encouraging answer, he In
vites relatives or friends to go with
him on the requesting errand." They
start out, dressed as well as can be.
The father carries fiat wheat cake
and q bunch Of flowers. One OF the
company must carry pistol, for it is
customary in Servia to announce ey-
cry joyous event by firing rifles or
pistols. They arrive at the girls
house before supper.
After eating and drinking in which
the men alone Of the two houses par
ticipate and some preliminary COM
versation, the father of the prospec-
tive bridegroom draws from his bag
the wheaton cake. puts the flowers
upon it, and places the whole upon
the table. He then takes from his
money-bag some gold or silver coins
and places those, too, upon the cake.
Brother, let US not precipitate the
matter" the girls father win then
say. LET me first find out what mr.
daughter says"
He then goes out to consult his
wife. This is only for appearance, as
the matter was practically settled
when the father was encouraged to
come to 'sbeg" the girl.

It's agricultural possibilities he rates
as low, but there is good pasture for
cattle. The meat trade, however, IL
not organized at all. Yladivostok,
close by, gets its supplies in cold stor-
age from Australia.
Coal is probably the best Of its as
certained properties. He believes
that there are at least ten million
pools of it in the island. 1t would
find good market in the western
states Of America, besides in Japan.
Deep borings are now in progress for
naphtha, which is in as good position
AS the Baku wells and should be able
to compete with American petroleum.
In east Asia. Gold prospecting has
not had success. There is a great
supply Of timber, of which no use
was made until in 1906 a firm began
to export railway sleepers.
The population, which dozen years
ago consisted Of 10000 Russian deport-
ed convicts, and about half as many
free persons, sank to about 5000 after
the Japanese war. The convicts had
got their liberty on condition they
volunteer for the war. Russians
sold their houses for next to nothing.
A whole village was left to caretakers
for so rubles. Last year the ex-con-
yicts who had served in the war and
returned were declared free peasants
and settled near Alexandrovsk, the
seat Of government.
Sakhalin's weak side, as NJ. Polovoy
found it, Is in its cut on condition, not
so much geographically as through
want Of steam navigation. Moreover,
the coasting trade is closed against
foreign shipping. There are very few
roads into the interior, even the roads
prospected by the Russian prisons de-
partment have fallen back into waste.
Harbors are scarcely to be found at
all. Labor is unskilled and there is
no ascertainab1e general rate Of
wages. Evidently the plantlessness
that has hitherto marked the admins
tration Of the important "cork Of the
Amur'' will need to be changed If its
great coal and lumber resources are
to get chance.

VALUE LOVE MORE THAN GOLD
Spanish Men Often Have Fifty Senior
Itas a Year-spain Leads World
In Marriages.

Madrid, Spain.-Writes one who has
travelled much in Spain: "As the ma
jority Of Andalusian girls are engaged
by the age Of seventeen the senoritas
do not go to many dances, for q
Spaniard would as soon allow his
flancee to dance with another man as
he would let her wear a harem skirt
or ride a bicycle. At their parties
Spanish girls get unbounded admira-
ton, and a senior who has reached
the age Of nineteen and talked to q
girl without trying to make love to
her would be considered gauche IN
the extreme. The guests are given
nothing to eat on these festive occa-
sions, glasses of cold water being
simply handed around when they ara
leaving.
Love is an all absorbing topic in
this amorous land .of orange flowers
and revolutions. In Spain we do not
talk of money; we talk Of love- q
Spaniard once said to me. He was
right, for love is the beginning and
end Of every Spaniard's thoughts. On
the feast days the young men play no
games, preferring to stand about and
see the girls pass, and in every daily
newspaper you will read Of duels
fought for some fair senorita's favor.

times 3 year with newness and
passion that has in 1T something of

Party Nominales Genuine
Statesman"

New York, May 31.--Thomas NJ.
Osborne, chairman of the Democratic
league of New York State, today sent
% every delegate. to the democratic
national convention at Baltimore, a
phamplet prepared as study of tho
situation in the Empire State, en-
titled "A Few Plain Facts for the
Consideration of Democrats" Based
on an array of facts and figures
drawn from every chapter of the his
tory of the democratic party in this
state, the following conclusions
are reached; -,>
81. New York has almost invar.
ably voted for the successful candi-
date for president.
"2, The probability is that the
Democrats must carry New York in
order to win,
"3 The situation in New York is
far from favorable to Democratic
success; chiefly by reason Of the UNI
popularity of the present Democratic
organization.
"a. But the situation is not hope
less. because the Republican organi-
sation is also exceedingly unpopu-
lar.
So The result in New York will
be determined as in the past, by the
Independent vote which holds the
balance of power.
sc. The bulk of the democratic
vote in New York State, contrary to
the prevailing idea, lies outside of
the city of Greater New York tIn
1908 the up state democratic vote
was nearly 100000 larger than the
New York City vote.)
~. The democratic vote of New
York Cityis rapidly dwindling. 1t
has fallen over is per cent. in six
years, while the population of the
city has risen IL per cent. This
means a net loss of 80 per cent
+ 50. The New York organization
does not express the real sentiments
or desires of New York democrats.
8. In order to carry New York
| it is necessary to nominate a candi-
date who can appeal successfully to
the Independent vote.
