THL AMERICA WEEKLY TiMES-REtORDER: FRIDAY, AUGUST 1, 1902,
Courtship In Spuln.
Iu Spxln the courtship begins with
gifts of Rowers, mu! the wedding ends
♦With n 8tower of blossoms on the eou
pie, who pass Into a floral bower on the
roof of the new home. The suitor be
gins his courtship by asking for
gourd of water at the home where the
object of bis affections lives. If this
request is granted, he may persist
Ills attentions, but if it is denied the
matter ends there. Later the man
calls again, accompanied by musicians
and torchbcarers, and while the man
dolin players strum their instruments
the lover’s companion makes his nil
ranees. Any time during the courtship
the suitor may be rejected by the gift
of a pumpkin. Three times he must
moke formal suit for a wife, as
quest cannot be granted at first But
if her father refuses the third time he
may consult a magistrate, who de
mauds that the daughter bo produced
or that her father give ids consent
the marriage, provided he is an honor
able man. He can then carry ofT his
bride. But this emergency does not of
ten arise.—Woman’s Home Companion.
Pontic Salutations.
In our salutations we are poetical
and pious without realizing it. -'Good
by.” which fails so illppantly from our
lips, is really “God be with you," ami
“Good day" means "I wish you a good
day—a happy, prosperous day.” The
Phoenicians on meeting used to ask,
“What occupies you7" Another of
their everyday phrases meant to
press Joy nnd pleasure was, “I-Tcsli,
rejoice!"
Every day on our streets we hear
the pet phrase of the Germans, “Wlc
gehts?”(IIowgoes it?) or"Auf wioder
sehen" (Till we meet again). And the
Italian fruit dealer at the corner call:
to his comrade in Ids native tongue
“God give you n good morrow."
The nucicut Irish mother upon on
terlng n house says in tier own Ian
gunge, “The blessings of God ho on
this house.”
“Peace lie with you” Is the Hebrew
benediction, und the answer is equally
beautiful, "With you be peace.”
Iutrre.f Inn For the Iliistinud.
A titled indy warned her new garden
cr that her husband had an lrritatln;
habit of disparaging everything he saw
In the greenhouse nnd of ordering In n
reckless manner new plants to
bought.
"But on no account humor him," she
said. “Whatever he says, throw cold
water on him, or he will ruin us with
his extravagance.”
At this point the new gardener turn
ed on liar n white nnd startled face.
“Ma’am,” he said, “if lie orders me to
pitch every plant In the place on the
rubbish heap, I slia'n't ever have the
pluck to douse him In cold water.
Won't It do as well if I get a drain of
warm water out of the holler and let It
trickle gently down ills neck?"—Lon
don Tit-Bits.
Presenting Arms to s Cat.
Some fifty years ago a very high Eng
lish official died In a fortress at a place
that Is oho of the centers of Brabmnnlc
orthodoxy, nnd at the moment when
the news of Ills death reached the
sepoy guard at the main gate a black
cat rushed out of It The guard pre
sented arms to the cat ns a salute to
the flying spirit of the powerful Eng
lishman, and the coincidence took so
firm a hold of the locality that up to a
few years ago neither exhortation or
orders could prevent a Hindoo sentry
at that gnte from presenting arms to
any cat that passed out at nlghL—Bom
bay Times.
Prosresslve Tippling.
A correspondent of the Lancet tells
a atory In reference to the rapid growth
of the habit of tippling which may bo
developed in unsuspecting subjects.
Two elderly ladles, he says, were sur
prised by a visitor In the net of drink
ing neut brandy. Upon his expressing
some surprise they said that brandy
bad been recommended la them as n
capital preventive ngainst cholera and
that they first took It with water, and
then they took It without Water, and
now they took it like water.
Careless Conductor.
“Isn't this awful?" asked the com
mon looking man on the crowded street
car. "Isn't this awful? Why, there are
already 103 people un this car.”
“It Is awful," ngreed the person ad
dressed, who was a street railway
magnate. “It Is awful. Thrre ought to
be at least twenty more In here.. I'll
tuko that conductor's number nnd have
him on tlie carpet tomorrow.”—Balti
more American.
