The important part which different
Tiands play in marriage ceremonies
makes rather an interesting story.
For exampie, the Swedish bride 511s
her pocket with, bread, which she dis?
penses to every one she meets on her
way to church, every piece she gives
away averting, as she believes, a mis?
fortune.
On the threshold of her new home a
bride in Servia is presented with a
plate of bonbons, one of which she and
the bridegroom, .share between them,
. the divided bonbon signifying that no
bitterness shall c?vide them. A sieve
cf wheat corn is also given to the bride.
Of this she takes three handfuls,
throws it over her head, emptying the
sieve opon the ground. The scattered
corn denotes that the bride brings joy
and prosperity into her new horae. The
bride is still outside the door, nor can
she enter until she has placed two
Joaves of bread beneath her arms and
taken a bottle of wine into her hands.
With these emblems she at length
crosses the threshold of her future
home. At the first meal of tho newly
married pair bread and wine must be
taken by both to denote that thence?
forward all they have shall be equally
divided between them and that their
married life shall be passed in unity
and fidelity.
A Russian wooing culminates in the
betrothal feast, at which the bride elect
in return for a long tress of hair which
she has given to the fcrdegroDm re?
ceives bread and salt and an almond
cake.
In Holland if a young man is in love
'with a girl and wishes to ask her hand
in marriage he buys a small sweet
cake and, wrapping it up in soft paper,
proceeds to the house of his inamorata.
He is ushered into the midst ot the
family circle. Without a word he
~walks up to the young lady and lays
the cake on the table before her, The
rest of the family affect not to notice
anything unusual and continue their
work OT their reading. The. young man
turns aside and talks to the father or
mother on some very ordinary subject,
beeping his eyes eagerly fixed on the
girl while he is conversing. If she ac?
cepts his offer, she takes up the cake
and eats it. If she is a coquettish
damsel, she tortures the young man by
turning it over and playing with it be?
fore she decides to taste it and then en?
raptures him by eating it to the last
crumb. If, on the other hand, she
wishes to have nothing more to do
jwith her admirer, she puts it back on
the table. The young man takes up
the cake and, with a "Vaarvoal byza
men," leaves the house. The matter is
then kept a profound secret by both
families, and the outer, world never
bears of it In place of a wedding cake
in Holland wedding candies are given
-"bruid zuikers" they are called.
They are passed around Ly children
and are served in flower trimmed bas?
kets. ,
Bride pudding is the name o? the
piece de resistance served at a Norse
peasant wedding. This is not brought
on the table until the last day of the
festivities, three or fiv? days being
given up to feasting and merrymaking.
The appearance of the bride pudding
is the signal of dismissal, and at the
close of the feast the guests say fare?
well, presenting at the same time their
gifts, which consist of cash. This the
bride receives, the bridegroom present?
ing each donor with a glass of wine.
? Partaking of two tiny glasses of wine '
Ss all the ceremony necessary to make
a marriage in some Chinese provinces,
provided a quantity of fireworks are
set off. These are to wake the "great
Joss" from bis sleep that he may wit?
ness the ceremony.
At a Hebrew wedding man and wife
sip from one cup of wine, symbolizing
participation In the joys and pain of
earthly life. The emptied goblet is
placed on the floor and crushed into a
thousand pieces by the bridegroom,
who thus shows that he will put his
Joot on all evils that may enter the
family circle.
At an Egyptian wedding feast moat
3s not eaten because of the belief that
it would lead to future bickerings be?
tween them. Eggs, fruits and sweets
are served. The first meal in the now
bouse cannot be touched until, after
every device known to the bridegroom,
the bride has been at last induced to
speak. Once she utters a word, be dc.ps
his hands, and supper is brought to
them.
Married by candy is the plan in Bur?
ma. Of all marriage rites this takes
the palm for conciseness and sweet
simplicity. Here the dusky lady takes
the initiative. Seeing a youth who
pleases her, she offers him a sweet. If
be accepts her proposal, he promptly
eats the token of affection, and they
are thereby made man and wife. In
the act of eating alone this most prim?
itive rite consists. If the youth be not
favorably disposed, he remarks with
all gallantry that that particular candy
is not to his taste, and the matter is
* ended. In Mandalay three weeks after
a marriage kinsmen bring the bride?
groom a bowl of rice, a vessel of wine
and a fowl, much of which collation is
sacrificed to the spirits of ancestors.
A Bagoda bride-in the Philippines
if she be good looking and the daughter
of a warrior, is sold by her father for
?bout $30, which sum is not given in
money, but in vegetables and chickens.
One way of estimating such things is
at the price of a brass gong- Such a
gong is worth thirty silver dollars, and ?
?t is a valuable maiden indeed who will

j The strained relations between Sen?

in Washington, Leslies' Weekly says:
" The story is told of a new Senator
who had been offended by a colleague
and who approached Senator Vest,
and said: "Isn't Jones the. worst ass
that ever broke into public life?" The
frail and venerable statesman from

"I can't say. You know I am pretty
thoroughly committed on that proposi?
tion to Morgan.
THE JAPAN CURRENT.
Knxo S i TV o Piles Great Loads of
Driftwood on Alaska's Shores.
In one sense the Kuro Siwo, or Japan
current is the most interesting in the.
world because many oceanographers
believe it was the direct means of peo?
pling America. This much at least is
certain: If a boat were to be set adrift
on parts of the Asiatic coast and sur?
vived all storms, the Japan current
could be depended upon to carry it
across the Pacific and deposit it on thc
American shore. Such a thing has
happened. In 1S32 nine Japanese fish?
ermen were left derelict and unable to
find their way back to shore. They
went with the current, and after a
drift ^lasting during several months
they were carried to Hawaii.
Trees torn by storms from the banks
of Asiatic rivers frequently float across
the Pacific to the American coast. Be?
tween Kakatag and. Kyak islands,
about 1,200, miles northwest of Seattle,
enormous piles of chis driftwood cover
the beaches. There can be no question
of the Asiatic origin of the timber.
They are the trunks of the camphor
tree, the mango and the mahogany.
Logs 150 feet long and eight feet in di?
ameter are frequently found. Many of
them are seen floating shoreward, with
fantastic roots standing high above the
waves. In places the logs are piled
twenty feet high. They are generallv
without bark, which has been peeled
off by the waves, and most of them
have become white and heavy from
impregnation with salt water. As they
pile up the sands drift over them, and
gradually they sink out of sight, and
new beaches are formed. This process
has been going on for ages, and the
shore line is being steadily extended.
Excavations along the beach show that
texture of the buried timber gets hard?
er and harder the farther in you go.
until in some instances petrifaction has
taken pince. Other excavations show
logs that have turned to coal.
The presence of Siberian driftwood
on the shores of Greenland convinced
Nansen that his idea-of drifting across
the Polar sea in the Frain was logical.
Great quantities of the wood are an?
nually cast on the coasts of Spitz?
bergen and Nova Zembla, and there
are tribes of Greenland Eskimos who
depend for sledge runners and other
wooden implements on the drift from
Siberian forests. For years they de?
pended for iron implements on thc
hoops of casks which caine to them
over seas.-Theodore Waters in Ains?
lee's.
The Willincr Worker.
"Why is it," asked a modest young
breadwinner, "that when I stay at the
office after hours to voluntarily do an
extra amount of work somebody who
i3 in charge pounces upon me as his
justi : ?able victim and gives me still
moro to do?
"That has happened to me time after
time in my business, and at each repe
titlon I have taken a vow that if I am
ever in charge of an office I shall give
any ono of my subordinate who sits
down and does work which isn't specif?
ically required of him credit for what
he does do and let it zo at that with?
out adding insult to injury, as it wore,
by giving him something further to do.
"Of course it's an old saying that tho
man who does the most work is the
man usually 'worked:' but ifs discour?
aging, don't you think? Strangely
enough, though, he goes ahead and lets
himself be 'worked,' with only a weak
objection to ease his feelings."-New
York Mail and Express.
IMPERIAL VS. AMERICAN TOBACCO.
Attempt to Boycott American To?
bacco Company Defeated.
London,?March 20.-Ogdens (Limit?
ed j as the local representatives of the
American Tobacco Company are known
today gave notice of their intention to
give their entire net profit and ?2C0,
000 yearly for the next four years as a
bonus to their customers.
This is the American reply to the
Imperial Tobacco Company's attempt
to boycott American goods. In a cir?
cular, Ogdens (limited) pointed out
that the Imperial Tobacco Company's
offer to distribute a bonus amounting
to ?50.000 can be compared with the
bonus the retailers will receive if they
continue to trade with the American
amalgamation. The-American Tobacco
Company's bonus scheme is the sensa?
tion of the day in the tobacco world
of Great Britain. "Unparalleled,"
"stupendous," "amazing," are some
of the adjectives applied to this bomb?
shell. The anti-monopoly rule assum?
ed by the American side has brought
them the adherence of a number of
influential retailers who were opposed^
to the Imperial Tobacco Company's
boycott and already one firm, owning
many stores in the metropolis, has
posted notices of its refusal to exclude
American goods and of its intention to
discontinue selling Imperial brands.
.Ogdens (limited) today sent out 10,
000 telegrams from their Liverpool
headquarters, carriyng the announce?
ment of tifeir offer to every tobacco
tradesman in England. The fact tnat
Ogden's business in 1900 amounted to
nearly ?966,000, indicates the enormity
of the sum they are expected to expend
in business.
The London tobacconists immediate?
ly called a meeting for tomorrow, to
consider their future action.
Aiken's Northern Sabbath Break?
ers.
Charleston dispatch of Sunday to
toe New York Sun: Bitter feeling" has
been stirred among the fashionable
element at Aiken by the crusade now
being waged by ministers of the town
! against Sunday sport. It was announc?
ed yesterday that as the local authori
; ties had failed to stop golf, polo and
other games, the minsters would
preach special sermons in which the
society leaders and aldermen would be
dealt with severely. William C. Whit
ney, who bas a winter home in Aiken,
is the leader of the smart set there,
and while his name has not been men
tioned by the preachers, it is generally
known that his friends have come in
for the harsh talk. It became known
yesterday that the ministers would
talk of the Sabbath breakers today,
but the sermons were not delivered be?
cause a severe storm swept over that
place this morning and forced the
regular attendants to remain indoors.
The good people of Aiken have been
shocked by the sporting events which
have made Sunday a gala day. On the
golf links, at the tennis courts and
around the polo players the winter
colony has flocked, shouting and
laughing. This acts heavily on the
provincials. The Sunday games were
popular and more* interest was taken
in them than cn ordinary days. At a
recent meeting of the city council a
petition was sent in urging the author?
ities to have the Sunday laws against
outdoor games strictly enforced. Mem?
bers of the board declared that if the
ministers were allowed to carry the
point, great harm would come and the
fashionable visitors wouldn't spend
their money where they couldn't do
as they pleased. The crusade, how?
ever, was not allowed to drop when
the council refused to send the police
to the links, and other methods have
been resorted to bv the ministerial
element. The Rev." T. W. Clift, W.
A. Kelly, F. D. Jones, Henry Miller
and Father J. L. Seidl, representing
the Episcopal, Presbyterian, Metho?
dist, Baptist and Catholic congrega?
tions, and the original signers of the
petition, came out in a statement in
which it was said that the pulpits
would ring with the " wrongdoing of
the Four Hunded. " The visiting
colony in the town has declined to dis?
cuss the affair, although leading mem?
bers are severe in their denunciation
of the preachers. They declare that
it is unjust and simply the work of
sensation seekers. Business men of
the town are not opposed to the Sun?
day sport, although the local authori?
ties have been placed in an unfortu?
nate position. If the ministers are
allowed to have their way there are
fears that Aiken will lose its popular?
ity, yet, at the same time the church
element is so bitter in its crusade that
an open clash may result. It is said
that Mr. Whitney personally, is dis?
pleased, and as he is one of the wealth?
iest property owners of the town the
citizens are not disposee to incur his
enmitv.
Bellows Falls, Vt., March 19.
Edwerd Green, husband of Hetty
Green, known as the richest woman
in America, died at his home here
today. He had been ill for a long
time of a complication of diseases.
A congressman whoso parents came
from the green isle jokingly remarked
to Benton McMillin, of Tennessee,
that St. Toter was an Irishman.
"Maybe he was," said McMillin.
"Any way, he wasn't a negro. No
colored man would have allowed that
rooster to crow three times."
Macon, Ga., March 20.-The Peo?
ple's Bank of Americus, Ga., W. H.
Simmons, president, closed its doors
today as a result of a quiet run for a
week. The capital of the bank was
$50,000 and the amount due creditors
is said to be $30,000 The county had
$6,000 on deposit. President Simmons
claims that the assets will offset the
liabilities. The assignee is G. R.
Ellis of Americus.
