WHEN WOMAN PROPOSES
MethodH of the Hnnprarlnn Gypnlea
and Burmese Maidens
In England leap year Is supposed to
confer upon the fair sex the privilege
of choosing her life partner for better
or for worse but the custom Is more
honored lu the breach than In the ob
servance The gypsies especially in
Hungary enjoy and make a very exten
Bive use of the right at all times In ac
cordance with an ancient custom Thus
a marriageable young gypsy girl In the
land of the Magyars as soon as her
heart Is smitten takes good enre that
the smlter shall hear of the havoc he
has wrought and have a chance of con
soling her With this praiseworthy ob
ject in view she lias n love letter in
dited places a coin in a piece of dough
bakes It and throws the cake and billet
doux during the night into the bed
chamber of her bridegroom elect Then
she possesses her soul in patience and
awaits developments
The Burmese maiden begins her mar
riage campaign at a much earlier stage
In order to get together a goodly gath
ering of young men from Avhom to
choose she places a lamp in her window
at night it Is known as the lamp of
love and entices nil those youths who
are candidates for the order of Bene
dict In sunny Andalusia tlie peasant
girl whose heart has been stolen by a
stalwart young husbandman prepares
a tasty pumpkin cake and sends It to
his home If he eats it and the Anda
lusian girls take good care to make it
highly edible the pair are forthwith

ClennlineHM nnd Arsenic
In Styria and Carinthia there is much
arsenic eating among the peasants The
women take it to give themselves a
good complexion and to make their hair
fine and glossy The men take it be
cause they believe that it gives them
wind in climbing In the chase after
chamois There is nothing of this sort
in Cornwall and Devon
In Styria and Carinthia it is known
that an arsenic eater can never be bro
ken of the habit and that if arsenic be
compulsorlly kept from the eater death
rapidly ensues It is believed in the
Tamar and this is perhaps true that
an arsenic worker is fit for no other
work He must remain at this occupa
tion nealth and breath fail him at
other employments Eventually it may
be that chronic arsenical poisoning en-
sues But this may he staved off if not
wholly prevented by scrupulous clean
liness by care taken not only to wash
in the changing house but to bathe
freely at home As one of the foremen
said to the writer Against arsenic the
best antidote is soap taken externally
