CANDY GIVEN BABY BRIDES
Indian Infants Bestowed in Marriage
Almost Before They Are Able

Four hundred weddings were cele-
brated simultaneously one day recent
ly at Surat, India. among members OF
the Lewa Kunbi caste.
None of the brides was over twelve
years of age, the majority being from
one to seven years old, while the
bridegrooms varied from three to
nine years.
Most of The contracting parties sat
or ley on the laps of their parents
during the ceremony, and were given
sweets to keep them quiet
The caste only celebrates weddings
every ten or twelve years. 1t is quite
a common thing for the children of
the caste to be married when they
are only four, five or six years of age,
but marriages at an earlier age than
four are exceptional
These baby brides, of course. do
not join their husbands when they
are married They wait until they
reach the age of ten or eleven, when
there is a second marriage.
Should a baby brides husband die
before she reaches the age of the sec
ond marriage, she becomes a wild
ow, and has to remain so all her
life.
In such cases the widow at once
loses caste. Her ornaments are taken
off her and she becomes sort OF
outcast. looked down upon and gem

should his baby bride die before the
second marriage. may marry again.
In fact, he is expected to do so with

few months. he loses caste His

Why II Wearied Tommy.

Good old school days was the topic

child of New York was reminded of an
incident that happened in Gotham.
Some time since little Tommy, the
heir of happy home in that village,
started to go to school, and since moth
ing was said to the contrary, the
youngsters father thougbs he was
hugely enjoying himself.
1t soon developed, however, that

CANADA WINS AGAIN
This Time at the international
Soil Products in Oklahoma.

Last year and the year before, and
the year before that, the farm prod.
ucts of Western Canada carried off
first premiums, championships and
honours, together with medals and di.
plomas, feats that were likely to give
a swelled head to any other people
than those who had so much more be-
hind. At Columbus. Ohio, and then
again at Columbia, North Carolina,
farmer of Saskatchewan carried or
the highest prize for oats, and in an,
other year will become the possessor
of the $1,000 Colorado Trophy; anoth-
er farmer made two successful ex,
hibits of wheat at the biggest shows
In the United States; another farmer
of Manitoba won championships and
sweepstake at the live stock show in
Chicago, and this year expects to du-
plicate his successes of last year.
These winnings are the more credita-
BILE as none Of the cattle were ever fed
any corn, but raised and fattened on
nature grasses and small grains.
At the Dry Farming Congress held
at Lethbridge in 1912, Alberta and
Saskatchewan, farmers carried off
the principal prizes competing with
the world. The most recent winnings
of Canada have been made at Tulsa,
Oklahoma, where seven of the eigh-
teen sweepstakes rewards at the In
ternational Soil Products Exposition
were taken by Canada in competition
with eleven states.
The chief prize, thrashing ma
chine, valued at 81 1900 for the best
bushel of hard wheat, went to Peter
Gerlack of Allan, Saskatchewan Mon
tana took four of the sweepstakes,
Oklahoma four, and Nebraska two.
Russia sent one delegate, Spain
had two, Belgium three, China four,
Canada fifty, Mexico FIVE, Norway one,
Brazil three.
In the district In which the wheat
was grown thai won this prize, there
were thousands of acres this year that
would have done as we'll Mr.. Gerlack
is to be congratulated as well as the
Province Of Saskatchewan, and West
ern Canada as whole, for the great
success that has been achieved in
both grain and tle.-Advertisement.

MORE HOLIDAY MAGIC.


The paper shower is trick that
has been exhibited with success dur
ing the last few years by number OF
magicians. and it's simplicity makes
it good trick for the boy magician
In performing this trick the magician
holds up before his audience three
pieces Of paper of different colors.
Then he tears the paper into strips,
folds the strips into wad, and drops
the wad into a fruit-jar containing
water In minute or two he removes
the wad, and taking it in his left hand
picks up fan In his right hand and
fans the wad, informing the audience
as he does this that they will be sur
prised to see how quickly the wet pa
per dries. Almost instantly particles
of paper begin to fly out of the left
hand, and in few seconds shower
OF fine bits of colored paper flutter in
all directions Gig u. or course the
paper does not come from the soaked
paper wad, but from small sack of
confetti. or paper bits which you have
prepared yourself. This sack must be
made of tissue paper, so as to be cas-
lily broken, and it must be pinned to
your coat sleeve directly under the
armpit of the right arm, in such a
manner that it cannot be seen by
your audience. The sack is taken in
to the left hand in this manner When
you reach down into the fruit-jar to
pick up the wad of paper which you
have dropped into 1t, make pretense
of pulling up your right sleeve with
your left hand, to keep it out of the
water, and run your hand far enough
up to enable you to take hold of the
sack Of paper and conceal it in the
hand. After squeezing some Of the
water from the wad of paper, the wad
is supposedly transferred to the left
hand, but it in reality remains in the
right hand. Quickly pick up fan
from the table. and fan toward the left
hand, and squeeze the sack until the
tissue paper bursts and the confetti is
exposed TO the breeze from the fan.
The breeze of course blows the paper
away from your hand, but the audi
ence must be impressed with the idea
that the purpose of the fan is only to
dry the wet paper.
