In Spain the courtship begins with gifts of flowers, and the wedding ends with a shower of blossoms on the roof of the new home. The suitorbegins his courtship by asking for a gourd of water at the home where the object of his affections lives. If this request is granted he may persist in his attentions, but if it ia denied the matter ends there. Later the man calls again, accompained by musicians and torchbearers, and while the mandolin players strum their insruments the lover's companion makes his advances. Any time during the courtship the suitor may be rejected by the gift of a pumpkin. Three times he must make for mal suit for a wife, as his request cannot be granted at first. But if her father refuses the third time he may consult a magistrate, who demands that the daughter be produced or that her father gives consent to the marriage?provided he is an honorable man. He can then carry off his bride. But this emergency does not often arise. No maiden can witness the marriage of an Italian woman no matter how intimate she has been as a friend, but matrons accompany her to the church. Neither can a girl enter the house of her lover; and so emphatic is this rule that it is considered necessary to pass by the house of her lover in such a public way that all can be satisfied that she does not enter it. The lover gives presents according to the seasons ? cake at Easter, rosebuds at the feast of St. Marks and almond paste atChristmas. In addition to bonbons and confectionery the groom sends the furture bride all the jewelry he can afford, especially finger rings. Sunday is the only lucky day in the week for weddings, as all others have some omnious meaning. Ifthe wedding is on Monday insanity is threatened ; Thursday is wilches day; a Tuesday wedding means great suflering, etc. InVenice the bridegroom must furnish the gondola for the marriage procession, four candles for the mass and plenty of coppers for the swarming beg gars. ?

Vlruh.nt C<mir?>r Startling proof of a wonderful advance in medicine is given by druggist G. W. Roberta of Elizabeth, W. Va. An old man there had long Buffered with what good doctors pronounced incurable cancer. They believed his case hopeless till he used Electric Bitters and applied Bucklen's Arnica Salve, which treatment completely cured him. When Electric Bitters are used to expel bilious, kidney and microbe poisons at the sam? time this salve exerts its matchless healing power, blood diseases, skin eruptions, ulcers and sores vanish.

New York June 15.?A young man who was a passenger on a Brooklyn bridge car this evening suddenly left his seat and spraDg over the bridge railing to the river below. The body has not yet been recovered. Those who noticed the man before he made the .jump from the bridge say he was apparently about 27 years old and was well drefsed. I'olice Dorn was the nearest person to him when he jumped. Dorn saw him alight from the car, and divining the stranger's purpose, started after him. The stranger said: "Don,t you touch me," and then, crying out, ''good bye,'' went over the railing into the river, liis body reappeared only once after the plunge. A police launch crew searched for hours without finding any trace of the Riiiride (Int tiering Them In.
