BY CITY OF LONDON AT HIS
TORlc GUILD HALL.
Sword is Handsome Reproduction Of
American Pattern-Presiden Asks
Permanent Rank for Pershinq,
March, Sims and Benson.

Standardization honored General
Pershing Friday with the freedom of
the city and sword OF honor In the
presence of a distinguished company
OF Britons and Americans gathered
within the historic Guildhall. John w.
Davis, the American ambassador, the
embassy staff, Rear Admiral Harry S.
Knapp and his staff, members of the
British government and a number of
British generals were participants in
the ceremony.
Early this month the corporation OF
the city of London voted to present to
General Pershing and Marshal Foch
the freedom of the city and swords OF
honor.
The sword of honor is gold mounted
and is handsome reproduction of the
American army pattern. On the upper
band are displayed the arms of the
United States on one side and the arms
of the city of London on the other. In
the enamel below the American coat of
arms is General Pershing's monogram
in diamonds and rubies, with the
American flag and Union Jack. On
the reverse side enameled ribbons dis
play the names of the battles in which
the American troops participated and
of General Pershing's campaigns.
The decoration of Knight Grand
cross of the Order of the Bath, with
which General Pershing has been pre-
sented, appears on the lower band.

HAVE TO PURCHASE BRIDES
santali Indian Bridegroom Must Lay
Up Money Before He Can As
pIre to Wife.

The Santali Indians must literally
purchase their brides. They pay a
sum of money to the girls parents
usually about 100 dupees-and, in adj
dition, they present the mother and
the female relatives with new saris
or shawls.
Should the bridegroom choose a
widow for his wife, she will only cost
half the sum mentioned. The reason
why the Santali Indians hold widows
in less regard than unmarried females
is because they assert that in the
next world man and wife are reunited,
hence a widow who marries again is
only TENT" to her second husband.
When a young man courts girl who
does not favor his suit, he adopts an
eccentric way to cure her stubborn
ness. After having dipped his finger
In red paint, he goes in search of the
lady and imprints his mark on her
forehead. Then he may claim her as
his wife.

LEIGH AS WEATHER PROPHET
Habits Can Foreteii Changes
That Are at Hand.

An excellent weather prophet can
be made by placing leech in a glass
jar of water.
If the weather Is to continue fine
the leech lies motionless at the bot
tom of the jar, and rolled together
in spiral form. If it is to rain,
either before or after noon, it will be
found to have crept up to the top Of
its lodging, where It will remain till
the weather is settled.
If we are to have wind, the poor
prisoner gallops through his limpid
habitation with amazing swiftness,
and seldom rests till it begins to blow
hard.
If a remarkable storm of thunder
and rain is to succeed, the leech, for
some days before lodges almost con-
tinually without water, and gives it
self up to violent throes and cOnvui-
sive-like motions. In frost, as in clear
summer weather, 1t lies constantly at
the bottom; and in snow. as in rainy
weather. it pitches its dwelling on the
very mouth of the jar
