BELLE OF THE BALL. SIMPLE CUSTOMS IN THE RURAL DISTRICTS OF SCOTLAND. The Bridegroom's Race After the Girl of His Heart—What His Failures Mean. Selecting a Judge of Beauty from the Strangers on the Highway. The ball at which the queen of beauty was chosen was that which followed a marriage. The wedding itself was a simple affair in the house of the bride's parents, at which the guests stood around sheepishly, thinking of the excitement to come. Suppose the couple united in wedlock by the minister, who has also received his present of a Bible or a new hat. Now come to the door. The scene is a small farm—one of the many little farms whose tenants only make a livelihood by working at two occupations. There are a dozen or twenty horses in the yard, and but for the absence of bright colors we might be going a-hunting. A glance at the steeds, however, shows that they are, more or less, cart horses. One says more or less; for there is the horse that always has a cart or a plow behind it, the horse that now and again pulls its master's gig to market, and the gig horse that is occasionally "put into the cart." Only some of these horses are to be ridden today by their owners; others have been lent to plowmen. ON PIERY STEEDS. The guests come out of the house wiping their mouths with their sleeves, and in the open air they become hilarious. One, with a flower in his button hole, is the target at which banter of a kind not very refined is fired. He is the bridgroom; and though he takes the jokes stolldily, or even attempts to reply, he is not quite at ease. He is told that if he shakes so much he "will not catch her," at which he closes his teeth. There is general merriment if he cannot vault gallantly into the middle. In a short time all the male members of the company are on horseback, some of them riding bare back. Next the bride is accompanied from the house by her relatives, who mount her on a horse. This horse is then led a hundred yards or more from the door. The bridgroom canters to within fifty yards of her. Then the signal is given and the race begins. The idea is this: The bride makes for the house which is to become her home, or for the more commodious hall in which the ball is to take place. After her clatter the horsemen, the bridgroom being allowed a short start. Should he not succeed in capturing her before the others come up, he has begun his married life badly; and if one of them is her captor, he has the privilege of saluting her. All are disgraced if she reaches the common destination alone. This curious gallop is quite unknown in many parts of Scotland, though the chase after the bride seems to have been common to many countries. ORANGETREES FOR 1889. Great Reduction in Prices.

After her clatter the horsemen, the bridegroom being allowed a short start. Should he not succeed in capturing her before the others come up, he has begun his married life badly; and if one of them is her captor, he has the privilege of saluting her. All are disgraced if she reaches the common destination alone. This curious gallop is quite unknown in many parts of Scotland, though the chase after the bride seems to have been common to many countries. The race being over, the preparations for the ball begin. Some school house or barn has been got ready for the dancers, each of whom "pays his way." It depends thus on the liberality of the "guests" whether a feast is provided, but, feast or no feast, there is abundance of whisky. After some preliminary chatter among the men and women, and probably some preliminary drinking, the time arrives for the selection of the belle of the ball. Observe how impartial these gentlemen are. Each of them has a sweetheart in the room, or is trying to get one. Suppose they were to decide by feats of strength or skill, who is to choose the queen of beauty, the victor would only follow Ivanhoe's example. They take another method. SELECTING THE BELLE OF THE BALL The committee so to speak, pull themselves together and march out of the ball room. They go into the high road, and the first man they encounter must return with them and choose the belle. He is not likely to be a neighbor; for all the young men who can come are taking part in the celebrations and the married men avoid the scene of revelry. Frequently he was no better than a vagrant or a boy, or he might be a mysterious stranger. This would have been a fine chance for Darde Latimer in quest of adventure. If the man is a charl, with no appreciation of the honor the gods are offering him, he may refuse to obey the summons; in which case he is either told that he must or a more gracious judge is sought for. In country parts few people are abroad at this time of the evening, but the committee dare not return empty handed. When they re-enter the room with their victim they find the other revelers ready for them. The ladies have been arranged in a row and await the verdict, some with averted faces, but most laughing with assumed ease. The judge examines them individually, and if he be a success nothing escapes him. Bright eyes, red cheeks and a buxom figure are essentials, but he may frown at large ears or hair of a color that is not pleasing to his taste. Black hair, for instance, has little chance with sunny locks and red hair is too common to satisfy. The competitors study their judge, if more covetous, quite as anxiously as he regards them. Long before he reaches No. 7 she knows whether here is the style of feature that attracts him, for she is very like No. 2, and his opinion of the latter can be read in his face. Some are ready to smile if he seems to prefer the animated beauty, and to be prim if he has a weakness for demurence of aspect. The lady who has been the belle of three balls stares him audaciously in the face; she who has been the belles of one is perhaps less bold; for she is not yet certain of her charms. No man residing in the neighborhood dares do that Judge's duty conscientiously—it would make him so many enemies for one friend; but the stranger may never be seen in these parts again. Should he in the end select the beauty of former balls she becomes more insufferable in her airs than ever, and in their hearts the others feel that she must be beautiful. If his choice falls on a lady who has not been so honored before, and cannot coolly step into the proud position thus accorded smile if he seems to prefer the animated beauty, and be prim if he has a weakness for demureness of aspect.

If his choice falls on a lady who has not been so honored before, and cannot coolly step into the proud position thus accorded her, she is very badly treated by the disappointed competitors. As for the judge, if his work has been arduous the reward is considerable. He remains until the ball breaks up, and he alone has nothing to pay. Furthermore, he opens the dancing with the belle as his partner. She remains the belle of the district until another ball takes place, when the verdict of the judge may be reversed. — Lanarkshire Reminiscence in St. James Gazette. The Typewriter's Inroads. It is astonishing what little use lawyers have now for long hand copyists. A few years ago a first class penman could earn a good salary copying deeds, wills, agreements, etc., but now the typewriter does almost all that kind of work and long hand writers are left out in the cold. There are a few lawyers who still have "wills" and very important documents written with the pen, but these are only a few of the most prominent ones, and then they want an expert penman to do them. I think a few years hence writing with the pen will be a thing of the past altogether, although for looks give me handsome long hand writing to any typewriter work I have ever seen, and I have been handling it for the last eight years. — St. Louis Globe-Democras. Eats No Meat. I have tasted no butcher's meat for ten years and have lost all appetite for it. It is on my table at nearly every meal, but I never take any. However this abstinence may suit other people, it has had a most satisfactory influence on my health, and I have only a dim recollection of what indignation is like, or how a headache feels. I am also a total abstainer, but smoke moderately. Tobacco is reasonable quantities is conducive to the health of brain workers, as it slightly checks the loss of brain tissue and has also a soothing effect. Vegetarianism is also specially adapted for men who have mental work to perform and who desire to keep their facial ties unimpaired. — St. Louis Globe-Democras. The Morphine Mahlt. Erwinayer says that children born of women addicted to the morphine tablets are practically morphine smokers from birth. During the first few days of life, unless morphine is given to them, they are very apt to suffer colds, and this condition may lead to death; she child being free, need to attend the ritual symposiums which occur in them which follow the routine withdrawal of the drug in adult women—children.
