This Curious Wedding Custom Is of French Origin. The origin of the curious custom of throwing an old shoe after a newly married pair for luck has been traced t back to a French peasant origin by a young man interested in folklore and quaint customs. In southern France, V affer the wedding ceremony, the girl Is 0: escorted to her new home by her girl friends and left alone. The young hus- t band, also in the hands of his friends, b Is next led to a point a couple of bun- ti dred yards away from the dwelling, d where a halt Is made. Then the girl's a rejected suitor, if there be such a one, 'arms himself with an old sabot, or a wooden shoe, while the bridegroom, P ducking his head, makes a dash for the e house. The disgruntled suitor throws ti as hard and as true as possible, and a the crowd cheers or derides, according d to the success of the shot. A wooden C shoe Is a formidable missile in the hands of an angry swain, and the t bridegroom is justified in having some r misgivings as he sees his defeated ival t] practicing in anticipation of the wed- 9 ding day. Just think, says the search- n er into folklore, how great a relief it c would be, even in this country, to take 0 a crack at the fellow who had done h you out of your best girl without hav- t ing the police step In! Over in France t the custom has a wider meaning. It d .signifies that the last ill feeling is thus thrown away, and It is the depth of P disgrace for the man who has thrown S the shoe to harbor any further malice e against the young couple. e A Trying Mloment. a She wa a nice lIttle cousin from the country, and she had come to a city ] luncheon given by some swell friends, says a New York paper. She was hav Ing a beautiful time and chatting away merrily when the salad course came .2 on, *and the butler passed a small 0 cream cheese. It was on a doily placed r on a flat plate, and . silver knife lay 1 by It. The country cousin was busy talking, e and without an instant's hesitation she took the plate, cheese and all, and set it doin by her own salad plate. The butler gave a -deccrously repressed start of horror, the other guests began to talk very fast and the little cousin, suddenly appreciating what she had ' done, turned scarlet and sat and gazed t at that cheese in dumb agony and wished she could die then and there. But the hostess, who sat by her, said, c gently putting the action to the word: C "Do let me, cut you a piece of the I cheese." 1 And then the plate was passed on, c and everybody begar. to breathe once more. But the cousin didn't speak again for ten minutes. A Heaven o Earth. The ancient mogul buildings in the palace of the kings of Delhi are mar- C vels of beauty. Two of these-the 6 Diwan-i-am, or hall of public audience, s and the Diwan-i-khas, or hall of pri- E vate audience-were built by the Em- I peror Shah Jahan about two and a t half centuries ago, when the mogul I style of grchitecture had reached its 1 most decorative period. The smaller I of the two, the Diwan-i-khas, Is fa- t mous for its jewel-like finish, and It Is C round the walls of this apartment that the Persian inscriptioin runs, "If there is a heaven on earth, it Is this." The larger hail contains the great mogul I throne. Both buildings are of marble t Inlaid with designs in precious stones. A Turtle Race. "One of -the most curious races I ever saw," writes a correspondent of the London Tatler, "was on Mr. Carl Ha genbeck's lawn at Hamburg. Some seven children mounted on the backs of large turtles or tortoises raced across the lawn. To give impetus to their queer steeds most of them armed them selves with cabbages, which they tied to the end of sticks, ever and anon dangling them as tempting morsels In front of the turtles. It was a strange race and occupied some time. Every now and then a turtle would grasp a piece of cabbage and then quietly eat it before resuming Its journey." Flowers on the Stage. No actor who Is imbued with the su perstitions of his profession will give y'ellow roses to a friend, .nor will he accept them himself, as he fancies the flowers are harbingers of misfortune, jealousy and loss of friendship. Some managers will allow no natural flowers whatever to be used by way of "prop erties" upon the stage, but that Is car rying the matter further than Is usual ly considered essential. .Uneomfortable Position. Finncus-I wonder why it is that those who attain the pinnacle of suc cess never seem to be happy.

Herbert Allen Giles in "China and le Chinese" says that there are range misconceptions as to the mean g of the Chinese cue, which has P ally been worn by that nation for e ily about 250 years. It was imposed by the Mantchoo Tar- d trs, the present rulers of China, as a t idge of conquest. Previous to 1344 ie Chinese clothed themselves and ,essed their hair like the modern Jap- t aese-that Is, like the Japanese who :ill wear what is incorrectly known .P 5 the "beautiful native dress of Ja- t] in." As a matter of fact, the Japan- b ;e borrowed their dress as well as U icir literature, philosophy and early f! ft from the Chinese. The Japanese ress is that of the Ming period in a hina, 130S to 1G44. 0 But where did the Mantchoo Tar- p trs get the cue? They depended as a .3 ice almost for their existence upon t ie horse. The accepted theory is that S at of gratitude and respect for his s oble ally the Tartar, so far as he uld, took on himself the equine form b nd grew a cue in imitation of a t e orse's tail. This somewhat grotesque s eory might fall to the ground save at it is supported by striking evi- T ence. r Official coats as seen in China at the resent day are made with peculiar teeves, shaped like a horse's leg and ading in an unmistakable hoof, cov ring the hand, which are known. as horseshoe sleeves." Incased therein Chinaman's arms look much like a rse's fore legs. The tail completes le picture. Coffee Chiewing. "Coffee chewing," says a doctor, "is . habit easily contracted, for the taste f the crisp roasted berries Is not un ileasant, and the exhilaration, the stim Lus, that the berries give is quite as narked as that which would be obtain d from a glass or two of beer or from . drink of whisky. "It is this exhilaration, I am convinc d, that causes the habit to be formed .nd that makes it a hard habit to break way from. It should be broken away rem. Its effects are highly injurious. hey are more injurious than those of obacco chewing. "The coffee chewing habit wrecks the terves, it makes the skin sallow and it estroys the appetite.

CASTOR IA For Infants and Ohildren. The Kind You Have Always Bought DUMAS AND HIS BARBER. rigin of the Practice of Speculat ing In Theater Tickets. The practice of speculating in thea r tickets, strange as It' may appear, as started by the elder Dumas. He itronized a Paris barber named For ier, and one day this worthy while iaving the novelist asked him why he id not sell the tickets given him by ie managers of the theaters where s plays were produced. "To whom could I sell them?" asked ie author of the "Three Musketeers." Why, to me, if you like," replied Por ier. "And what would you do with em?" asked Dumas. "That's uLy siness," replied the barber, contin ing to lather the bronzed face of the tmous story teller. "But I give you tickets whenever you k for them," said Dumas. "Ah! One two are not sufcient for my pur ose," responded Porcher: "I must ave all your tickets, and every day )o." And you will pay for them?" ild the dramatist. "Cash," was the mple yet practical reply. Dumas at that moment was very adly in need of money, so he at once mncluded the bargain. Porcher, who ortly after this gave up shaving and tting hair, made similar bargains ith other authors and quickly became lec. The Difference. He was a man who was making $50 week and was having luncheon with is fiancee in an uptown restaurant. 'he lady ordered chicken salad, fol )wed by black coffee and wafers. The ian, who could have afforded every ing on the bill and not felt a hole in is pocketbook, had consomme and ittle Neck clams and drank water. he waiter got 10 cents. A clerk who was kept busy earning Lis salary of $18 took his sweetheart an ekpensive seaside resort. It took wenty minutes to decide what they ranted to eat. Finally the order came, Leaped high up on a large tray. At the lady's place the waiter de osited roast beef, mashed potatoes, hicken croquettes, with peas, a salad f lettuce and potatoes and a cup of offee. The man. wondering how he could et a winter overcoat, ate a porter ouse steak, with mushrooms, fried otatoes, green corn and coffee. For dessert they had ice cream and ancy cakes, with more coffee. The vaiter got a quarter.-New York Her Lld. John T. to the Front. "I had been abroad for three years," aid the judge, "and, as the people in ny native town labored under the idea hat I was a man of some consequence, hey welcomed me home with a brass and and a dinner. I was about to re ply to the address of welcome when the rillage cooper approached me with ex .ended hand and said: "'So you've got back home, eh? Say, udge, when you went away I was do ng all my own work and had my shop , the woodshed; now I've turned a loss barn into a cooper shop and am bossing two journeymen and making ffty barrels a week. Don't forget to say that while you've been wasting y-our time in Europe John Y. Higgins lies come right to the front at home.' "My little speech to my fellow towns men didn't arouse much enthusiasm," said the judge, "and that cooper was to blame for It. He simply wilted me." Detroit Free Press. A Ready Answer. Not all visitors to the country are as ignorant of the farmer's surroundings is the farmers sometimes suppose. Browning's Magazine gives this in stance: "Wal," said Farmer Wilkins to his ity boarder, who was up early and ooking round, "ben out to hear the laycock crow, I s'pose." And he wink ed at his hired man. "No," replied the city boarder; "I've been out tying -a knot in a cord of wood." Farmer Wilkins scowled at the hired man and wanted to know why he was not getting to work at miling those seeing Snakes. Persons suffering from delirium tre mens usually imagine that they are surrounded by snakes. An explanation of this hallucination, says the Family Doctor, is offered by the result of some recent experiments. Sixteen alcoholic patients were examined with the oph thalmoscope, and it was found that--the minute blood vessels in the retina of their eyes were congested. In this con dition they appear black and are pro jected into the field of vision, where their movements resemble the squirm ing of serpents. A Deserved Fate. Some poet wrote the following: "Long s that morn that brings no eve; tall is the corn that no cobs leave; blue Is the sky that never looks yeller; hard is the apple that never grows meller; but longer and bluer and hard er and tall is my own ladylove--my adorable Poll."
