cases to which the girl baa not soon

tbe home of Ida parents for the mar-
riage ceremony. The match was a
question solely for the respective par-
ents and the young couple were not

ever, la eiicrouchlng on China, nod the
fact that the old order is changing Is
proved by four advertisements Inaert-
ed In the vernacular Press of Peking

given notice to the world that they
decline to recognize the betrothal* ar-
ranged for them in their infancies, and
that they reserve for themselves the

Put Ban on Sneezing
In (he Hussiun nriuy sneezing used
to be discouraged, not on hygienic, but
on superstition* grounds, us we learn
from a passsg*- In Frederick Leveson-
Oowar'a reminiscence*, describing the
coronation of Alexander II. In 18Ti6:
“Opposite the house from which we
saw the procession was drawn tip a
regiment called I'nulovskl, after the
Emperor Paul, all the men having
turned-up nosea, trim* reae^.MIng him
It seemed It was the fashion to com
pose regiments of men all having the

recruits sent lo him, and took them
according to looks. There I* one regl-
