Casino Reading Room Supplied with the 'leading Papers and Magazines for the free use of all in the village. Open Day and Evening. Wedding Presents. Givipg wedding presents is an old cus tom, but the custom differs in different countries. Scotland's penny weddings were peculiar. They were called penny affairs, but the invited guests contributed shillings, and occasionally a half crown, and out of the sums thus collected the expenses of the wedding feast were paid. Germany has a "pay wedding," at which the bride receives her guests with a basin before her, in which each person enter ing deposits a jewel, a silver spoon or a piece of money. In some parts of Ger many the rule is that the expenses of the marriage feast shall be met by each guest paying for what he eats and drinks a sort of European plan wedding, you might call it. The prices paid for dishes and drinks are high, and the happy young couple make a handsome profit out of their wed ding, often realizing a sum sufficient to start them pretty nicely in life. Often three hundred guests are present at such a wedding. Sometimes the flow of pres ents is in the other direction. In Poland, for instance, a girl is not regarded eligible for marriage until she has wrought with her own hands cloth and garments for the friends who will accom pany her future lord to the altar. But in most countries the wedding present system is similar to that which is familiar here, and which has become a serious tax. The following are some of the queer customs connected with the wearing of bridal wreaths: The German bride wears the myrtle for her bridal wreath, while the girl of the Black Forest adorns herself with the flowers of the hawthorn. In France and England and in the United States the orange flower is in vogue, while the maidens of Italy and the French provin ces of Switzerland use white roses. Pinks, carnations and red roses are worn by Spanish brides. In Lithunia the bridal wreath is wound of the Syrian rue; on the Ionian Islands, the grape vine; in Bohemia, Corinthia and the Krain districts, of rosemary, and in Hesse, of artificial flowers, to which rib bons are added. In Norway, Sweden and Servia bridal crowns are made of sil ver; in Bavaria and Silesia, of gold wire, glass beads and tinsel; among the Fins, the Wends and the peasants of Alten burg, of paper, and in Athens of costly filigree. Bridal wreaths were in vogue among the pagans, and were introduced among Christian brides during the fourth century. Exchaoge. Needs to lie Edited. "Where's that music Dolly was play in? this morning?" asked Mr. Cumrox. "On the piano," answered his wife; "what do you want with it?" "Pin going to fix it up. I got Dolly to show me the marks that mean 'repeat,' aiid I'm going to take this eraser and rub 'em out." Washington Star. Cause For Joy. "Why have the Backlotts got then house lighted up so brilliantly to-night?" asked the first suburbanite. "They're holding a silver jubilee," replied the other. "Nonsense!
