LAW OF THE SOCIETY
The First Perth Amboy Hebrov
Mutual An! Society held a storm;
meeting in their temple on Elm stree

—A Iturinesc Custom.
In England leap year is supposed to
eonftr upon the 1'aiJ sex the privilege
jf choosing life partners for better ot
.or worse, but the custom is more hon
ored in the breach than in the observ
ance. The gypsies, especially in Hun
gary, enjoy anti make a very extensive
use of the right at all times, in aceord
tnce with an ancient custom. Thus a
narriageable young gypsy girl in the
■ and ot the Magyars, says the London
fieegruph, as soon as her iieart is smit
ten, takes good care that the smite
shall hear of the havoc he has wrought
md have a chance of consoling her.
vVith this praiseworthy object in view,
she has a love letter indited, places a
coin in a piece of deugb, bakes it and
.brows the billet deux during the night
into the bed chamber other bridegroom
elect. Then she possesses her soul in
patient* and awaits developments. The
Burmese maiden begins her marriage
campaign at a much earlier stage, in
order to get together a goodly gather
ing of young men from whom to choose,
she places a lamp in her window at,
night—it is known as the "lamp of love”
—and entices all those youths who are
■andidatc-s for the order of benedict. In
sunny Andalusia the peasant girl whose
heart has been stolen by a itaiwart
young husbandman prepares a tasty
pumpkin cake and sends it to bis home.
If he eats It—ar.d the Andalusian girls
take good care to make it highly edible
—the pair are forthwith betrothed.

ernment served notice on (he plant
ers that wages paid farm hands must
he net less than $1.59 a day, liutend
of 75 cents usd one dollar, which
were the ruling rates. Now, that
sounds like n good deal of an In
crease. says the Boston Herald, and
$1.59 a day, which would mean nine
dollars a week, seems a high rate or
wages for farm labor in Central Amer
ica. But this money is Guatemalan
currency, not gold. In gold, wages of
$1.50 a day would mean a fair pay,
hut in Guatemala $1.50 of the depre
dated currency of the country |3
equal to only about nine cents in our
own coinage. This decree, therefore,
raises .the minimum of farm wages
from four and one-half to six cents
per day to nine cents a day. IS von the
higher rate can hardly he considered
liberal, for, assuming that there are
.‘100 working days in the year, tills
would mean that the Guatemalan farm
hand is to he paid for a year's work
$27, or less than is paid in many in
stances for farm Ichor in our own
country for a single month.
