la«In| Customs That Still Exist
Amoapr the Pe««ntpy v
Some quaint customs* still survive
imong the peasantry of south Wales—
at least in the/remote villages. One of
the oddest is the “bidding.'' When a
young man and woman are engaged
a circular Is printed, known as a “bid
ding letter,” and distributed at market
anil outside tbo, chapels on Sunday so
that ull may know of the event. The
form is always tbe same and runs as.
follows: . v ^
As we Intend to writer the matrimonial
state we are encouraged by our friends
to make a bidding on the occasion at tbe
young man's father's bouse (here follow
the a (I dree* and date of the entertain
ment). when and where the favor of your
good and agreeable company is most hum
bly solicited, and whatever donation you
may be pleased- to bestow on us will be
thankfully received, warmly acknowledg
ed and cheerfully repaid whenever called
for on a similar occasion by your obedient
servants. JOHN EVANS.
JANE DAVIS.
All being ready on the day, a party
goes to fetch the bride to the bidding.
She hides and has to be sought for in
all directions, but being at last found
is escorted in triumph. Her procession
is met- by that of the bridegroom, find
they all repair the church, where
the wcddtfg eerembuy takes place,
after which all return to the groom's
house to make merry and to count tbe
gifts. These are generally lu money
and vary from a shilling up to half a
sovereign. ( \
Each item is carefully entered In* a
book by the “bidding clerk,” together
with thp donor’s name, so that It may
be repaid when he or she marries. As
all the money will • probably not be
tailed in for ninny years—some not at
all, if tbe givers remain single—the
young couple receive a tolerable start
in life. Oddly enough, the bridegroom
is expected to provide the kitchen clock
and table, the glass cupboard and the
kitchen dresser, also the bedstead. 'Khcli
of. the young people is supposed to
bring half a dozen chairs, tins bride’s
especial contribution being the bed
ding, \ the crockery ware, the parlor
table and a chest of drawers. Things
are dona methodically In that payt of
the world^—London Tit-Bits.
THOUGHTLESS WIT.
Wit that stings Is ukiu to crime.
To hold up another to ridicule is not
wlttV, but vulgar.
To laugh at Another or to cause an
other to be laughed at is common.
The merry laugh and the joke go
round, but somewhere there Is an ache
There Is no pest like him, this r:,..r.
whose thoughtless wit starts the laugh
The uinu that makes others laugh at
some one elso’s expense is always caus
ing suffering.
To start a laugh Is the ambition of
some men. The how or the where, the
why or the effect is never considered.
Wit is a joy forever so long as it docs
uot base its success upon the misfor
tunes, tlie peculiarities, the weaknesses
of men;
When a wit has to depend upon oth
ers’ peculiarities for his subject matter
it is time for him to close the “wit
shop” and hang out the sign “To Let.”

UeUniuft MU Position.
Years ago there wus a member of an
eastern legislature named Murphy, a
good politician, but hardly a statesman,
indeed his notions of parllameiimiy or
der and debate were crude. Ho was
so frequently out of order that the
speaker got In the habit of crying as
soon ns Mr. Murphy rose, "The gentle
man is out of order!”
Once, In the midst of an important
and exciting debate, be leaped to his
feet. Tbe bouse murmured, and tbe
speaker brushed him asido with the
usual remark, “Tbe gentleman is out ol
order!”
Murphy sat down, but presently be
was on hfs # feet again.
"Mr. Prfshllnt, l rise to a point of
order. In justice I must explain that
tbe thing I intinded to say just now
when you called me to order bad noth
lug to do with what, I did uot say.”

Birds’ Nests.
In Scotland a naturalist has found
golden eagle’s nest that contained a
rubber ring, carried thither by the
birds as an adornment. An observer in
California has reported that a pair of
golden eagles there decorated their nest
with sacks. "When the kite builds
look to lesser linen,” says Shakespeare,
alluding to the robberies committed by
those birds from tbe hedges when
linen was put to dry. The late Mr.
Booth described a kind of bower made
by so pie aesthetic eagles In Scotia ud.
Ills Planets,
A young gentleman was passing an
examination in physics. He was ask
ed, f’What planets jvere known to tbe
ancients?”
"Well, sir,” he responded, “there
were Venus and Jupiter and”—after u
pause—"I think the earth, but I am
uot quite certain.”—London Tit-Bits.
