A powrY on Approval.

A curious custom prevails among
Roumanian peasants. When a Rou
manian girl is of manageable age
all her rousseau, which has been care
fully woven, spun and embroidered by
her mother and herself, is placed in a
painted wooden box. When a young
man thinks of asking to be allowed to
pay his attentions to the girl he is at
liberty at first to open the box, which
is always placed conveniently at hand,
and examine the rousseau. If the suit
or is satisfied with the quantity and
quality of the dowry he makes for
NAL application for the girls hand, but
if, on the contrary, the trousseau does
not please him. he is quite at liberty to
retire.

Tokyo's Pool of Tears.

One spot in Japan Stunned by all is
the Pool of Tears n little pond on
the execution ground of an old prison
at Tokyo. 1t never dries, and even the
hottest weather seems to have little
effect upon it. Since the removal of
the prison no buildings have been
erected on the site occupying the brow
of hill. BY night it is supposed to
be haunted by the ghosts of the many
prison victims, and no person, it is re,
lated, is bold enough to venture that
way after dark. In the daytime the
hill is the resort of students who seek
fresh air and exercise.-Argonaut

That TelenhOne Gossip

Evidently there are others besides those
in Barre who use the telephone as means
of exchanging views on the matter OF
clothes, neighborhOOd gossip. etc. as the
following clipping from an exchange in
the western part of the state would midi
cate:
"Tbere are several persons in the town
of the female persuasion, who think to get
their moneys worth they must use the
telephone frequently and they never give
a thought to the length of time they con-
sumo. This of itself is bad enough es-
pecially as it interferes with those Who
have legitimate business to transact from
time to time. But the worst feature of
all is their talk over the wires consists of
the gossip and sensational news of the day
which they spread with great gusto and if
the daily crop is insufficient they 90 back
generation or two and bring out some
family skeleton to gloat over Then the
living and dead suffer alike. What bless
ing j would be if the socialists, who pro-
claim remedy for nearly all the ills OF
life, could only fnd way to curb this
class and direct their wasted energy into
other aad more useful channels of thought
aud action"

Rrd Is related in "Sport on the Nilgiris,"
Mr.. Il. w. +. Fletcher:
zone April afternoon had been over

and shortly after | left his bungalow
on my return home it began to rain
As riding was uncomfortable in the

to the housekeeper. After mile the
rain stopped, and the sun came out,
but shut my umbrella and determin-
ed to walk the rest of the way home.
Before me trotted five little terriers.
behind me came the syce leading my
horse. We reached a sharp bend in
the road, and the doggies had disap-
reared round it when saw the whole
pack rushing back full tilt, with leop-
ard at the heels of the hindmost dog.
"Just as they reached me, the Loop

which flew into splinters. The leopard
dropped the dog. but his impetus was
so great that he could not stop, and,
rushing past me, he knocked my syce
clean off his legs. Then he jumped
into the grass bordering the road.
THE change that came over our
peaceful procession in that one instant
was astounding There stood | in the
road, labbergasted, with broken UNI

roaring blue murder on his back; my
horse was boiling for home like run

Flirt and carried her home. She was
badly bitten in the neck, but frequent
applications of pheny soon made the
wounds heal. and in a fortnight or so
she was well again. But she was a

me, but she always stuck to my heels,
and nothing would induce her to enter
the scrub or join the other dogs in

Columbia, March 6.-The following
special message, sent to the general
assembly by Governor Blease this af-
ternoon, explains itself:
The State of South Carolina-Execu-
tive Department.
Gentlemen of the General Assembly:
In regard to Act No. 256 blouse
Bill No. 6O2, Senate No. 494), ito
amend the law relating to magistrates
and their constables, their pAWers,
duties, jurisdiction, salaries, etc." I
I beg to call your attention to the fact,
under the heading, Anderson coun-
ty," all the magistrates salaries are
fixed per year, with the exception of
the salary of Magistrate B. F. Wilson,
the provision being that he shall re-
ceive salary Of five hundred dollars,
but not stating whether it is for a
day, week, month, or a year.
also beg leave to call your atten-
ton to the fact that this Act will not
go into effect until twenty days after
its approval and it might be well for
those counties interested to take into
consideration the question; Will the
magistrates who have been appointed
~ hxy ftaa
senate, in the counties where changes
have been made, be legal officers, or
should the governor after twenty lays,
when this Act goes into effect, appoint
the magistrates provided for in the
Act?
I am expressing no opinion, but
call your attention to the case OF
Goree, in Greenwood county, recently
decided by the supreme court.
The magistrates who have been ap-
pointed and confirmed by the senate,
who are affected by this bill, were ap-
pointed under the old law. Can they
hold Oh under this Act, or at the end
Of twenty days do new magistrates
have to be appointed or these recon-
missioned?
You might refer these matters to
your respective judiciary committees,
and have them answer; for, I am go
ing to be freIk with you, if this bill
affects them, and I can make the
changes, n2w appointments will be
made, under this bill.
l do not want to take any advan-
tage, gentlemen; I want to fight fair
and that is why 1 am calling your at
tention to the matter.
You will note Section /: THAT the
law as to magistrates, their con-
stables. jurisdiction, salaries, etc.,
shall be as now provided by law, ex-
cept as hereinafter provided" This
is the repeating clause to your other
Acts.
I approved this Act on the 3rd day
of March, the day l received 1t. You
were elected by the people Of your
respective counties, and if there is any
blame coming for any part Of it they
must blame you and not me.
Very respectfully,
Cole L. Blease,
Governor.
