Different Courting Customs Exist In Various Countries. During the hearing of a recent breach of promise case the judge raised the question as to whether all courtships were not very much alike. Now, although it cannot be denied that all courtships are a maans to the same end, it cannot be maintained that the means are always the sce. Indeed, no two Bourtships are alike any more than there are two people exactly alike. The courtship of the impetuous lov- er, who carries all before bin. In the ardor of his wooing, can scarcely be sald to resemble that of the suitor who looks again and again before he leaps, and sometimes looks so long that he leaps only to find that an- other has taken the plunge ahead of him and carried off the prize. Nor is there much in common be- tween the courtship that is all adjec- tives and kisses and the up-to-date courtship of 'pals' who discard the ordinary modes of love-making as "silly." Again, what resemblance is there between the courtship of many words and one which is a 'song without words," like that of Barkis, the car- rier, which consisted of the words, "Barkis is willing," repeated occa- sionally by proxy, as often as oppor- tunity permitted? Then, too, the varied eircumstances in which courtships are conducted necessarily make for variety." In one section of the community they are frequently carried on at the back door. This, although it has its draw- backs, obviously possesses advan- tages over a courtship conducted from a second-floor window, as ia the correct mode in Spain. In Burma the maiden of a mar- riageable age places a lamp in the window at eight o'clock. This is the signal that she is ready to receive eligible bachelors, preferably several at a time. From eight until twelve o'clock is looked upon as the defi- nite courting time, during which hours mother may only hover dis- creetly in the background. In some parts of Japan, as soon as 4 young man has set eyes upon his ideal, he opens proceedings by fas- tening a branch of a certain shrub against the door' of her parents' house. Should the young woman Lot wish to encourage his advances the branch is allowed to wither; but if she decides to accept him as her fu- ture husband she blackens her teeth as a sign that he may begin nego- tiations with her father. * 'When a youth in Afghanistan takes a fancy to a girl the method is still more simple. All he has to do is to cut off a lock of her hair, The rest of the proceeding merely consis's in driving as hard a bargain as possible with the girl's father. Morocco is one of the most stony- hearted countries in the world in this respect. The youths and maidens there fare badly indeed, for they are not even allowed to see each other before the wedding. Now and again a venturous youth will hide himself in the room when the young woman is coming to pay the customary stete call upon his #other, but even this needs to be done with a considerable amount of caution. The Eskimos are notorious for the arbitrary manner in which their courtships are conducted? After hav- ing decided upon-a girl whose ap- Dearance pleases him, the young Es- kimo pays a surprise visit to her house, seizes her by the hair, and drags her away te his home, Cotton Foundation Stones. The employment of cotton as a foundation for buildings erected on sandy soil is a matter of common knowledge, but the story of the first application of the material to this purpose is not generally known. We are indebted to Capt. W. Rob- «rts, one of the veterans of the Liver- Pool pilot service, for the facts. Dealing with the ancient light at Leastowe, between the Mersey and the Dee, he told of the difficulties en- countered in the search for a solid base, and how at last the wreck of & cotten ship offered an inspiration to the buillders.. Some of the cotton which had been washed ashore was mixed with sand, and on this a mas- sive stone tower was erected so firm- ly that it was found to withstand the fury of the mightiest tempests. One other little-known fact was ralso mentioned by Capt. Roberts. All our lighthouses are teetotal institu- tions. Drink is allowed in none of them. ' An Ancient Belief.' The Persians and Chaldeans be- lieved in Ahriman, chief of the caco- demonds or fallen angels. These were thought to have been expelled from heaven for thelr sins. Having en- deavored to settle down upon the earth at several times, according to legend, they were always rejected. Out of revenge they found their pleasure in injuring the inhabitants. Xenoeritus bt that pensnce and self-mortification, though not agree: able to the gods, would pacify the malice of the ecacodemons. and his followers were believed final- ly to have taken up their abode in e space butwaen the earth and stars, an ere established Ahriman was the spirit of evil in Perslan et ------------ » 80 Ormuds was ILY BRITISH WHIG.
