taking his pistol to school titan he had of
presenting himself with spurs. “cuirtand

But every cowboy feels himself in

could not come back to School. He felt 2

And tits‘t. Jim’s mother had died. and

took place. in a large ball under the su-

The Italian surgeon to whom the work
was confided was statioucd in front of a
huge screen. and the women were con~
ecalcd behind it. A hole had been made
‘iu the center of the screen. just large
enough to allow the arm to pass through.
and in this manner arms of various colors
and sizes were presented to the operator
in rapid succession. It was utterly im—
possible for the surgeon to get even a

of the bride herself. but of integrity and

In Germany the duties of the bridcs~
maid have just a tinge of su erstitipn
about them. It is one of their t titles on
the morning of the marri fe-day to carry
; to the bridge a myrtle wreath. for which
they had subscribed on the previous
evening. This they place on her head.
and at night remove it, when it is placcd
in the bride's hand, she being,r at the time
blindfolded. The bridesmaids then dance
around her, while she endeavors to place
the wreath on one of their heads. \Vho-

orated will, it is believed, be herself a

In removing the bridal wreath and
veil. the bridesmaids are careful to throw
away every pin. or the bride will beovcr-
taken by misfortune; while any unwary
bridesmaid who retains one of these use-
ful little articles will materially lessen her
chances of "getting 03." ‘
Like many other German superstitions,
this has found its way into England,
though it has not. yet become a general

The Dress of Turkish Women.
The dress of the women at home is not
very elegant, nor does it fit them very
well. It is usually a loose garment made
of glossy calico. in gaudy colors. tied
around the waist with a cloth belt. and
wadded and padded in winter like a mat-
tress. Underneath they wear a kind of
wide pantaloons, fastened at the ankles.
On their feet they wear low shoes with-
out heels or solosrnade of yellow morocco.
Their headgear consists of a kind of em~
broidered calotte. around which is wound
a strip of very fine muslin. allowi g one

Turks their ears. necks and fingers are
