UNMARRIAGEABLE Egyptian Girls Are Married Very Young --Some Queer Customs Among the modern Egyptians, girls generally marry when twelve or four- teen years of age; at eighteen they are considered "unmarriageable" and "un- manageable." A young man who feels that it is time for him to wed goes to his mot- her, or nearest female relative, and bids her arrange natters and direct his chuice. Some'times, however, he may employ the "koat'beh"-a wo- man, who conducts the village matri- monial agency. Until a girl is thirteen or fourteen years of age her parents may marry her to whom they please without her consent; but after that age she may choose her husband and appoint some- one to arrange her marriage. When the young man has decided whom he wishes to merry, he visits the "wekeel," or deputy, of his future wife, and, having gained his consent, he asks what dowery he must give, Among the well -to -do the usual a- mount is about L25, but a wealthy bachelor is expeoted to give at least L50. On the day appointed the bride- groom, with a few friends, repairs to the bride's home, taking with hint part of the Bowery, They are re- ceived by the bride's "weekeel" and two of her .friends All recite the "Fah'hah," the opening chapter of et the Koran, and the bridegroom- pays the money. The contract ceremony is them performed. The bridegroom and the bride's "'wekeel" sit face to face, with one knee on the ground, clasping right hands, with thumbs raised and pressed against each other. A schoolmaster is hired for the occasion to tell them what to say, After placing a handkerchief over their hands, he begins with a few re- marks on the advanage of marriage, and with questiotns from Koran. The bride's "wekeel" must then declare that she marries the young man, So - and -So to -(naming the bride) -for the -dowry of a certain amount 'to which the bridegroom replies: "I accept from thee her marriage to my- self, take her under my care, and bind myself to protcet her; and ye who are present bear witness of this." This .is repeated three times, :titer which alt present again recite the "Fah'hah." The young man has to wait for his bride eight or ten days after the con- tract ceremony, during which time he sends her presents for her trousseau, which is generally bought with the Bowery. Had Piles For Ten Years o. fi And Tried Nearly Everything Ex. cept a Surgical Operation With- out Obtaining Relief - Tells How Complete Cure Was Effected. There are reported here three cures of chronic) cases of piles. In all three cases many treatments were tried be- fore 1t was discovered that Dr, Chase's Ointment is about the only real cure for this distressing ailment. Mrs. A. Oates, 22 Gilklnson street, :Brantford, Ont., writes : "I have used :Dr, Chase's Ointment as a household remedy for ever so long, and am par- ticularly indebted to it for a euro from Piles. 1 had suffered from this an- noying trouble for ten years, and tried nearly everything I heard of.

We choose the Christmas lesson in- stead or the eu0 in Ilulnehl, but both may well be coosldered together, for, while Malachi tells of the great King whose name Shull be great among all nations, Mathew sells of His lowly bi!th according to Iso. 1rie, 14; A11c. v, 2 (Mal, i, 11, 14; 21at1. ii, 1, 26 Wheth- er it he in Malachi or hfatthew their treatmeut 01 lain is the same.

Yet He begs of them to return to Ifim that Ile may bless them and make them a delightsome land (Mal. 111, 7, 12). He speaks of the great and dread- ful day of the Lord which eball pre- cede IIis kingdom and says that Ire will send Elijah before that day (Mal, ill, 1-3; Iv, 1.11). John the Baptist (sate in the spirit and power of Elijah, but they would not receive him, so the real Elijah must yet come according 0 our Lard's own testimony (Matt, xvii, 11.13: Luise 1, 17). ,lobo the Baptist ist w as to the first enat- ion a'1 C'hriet what alae real Minh will ee to His second eoutine iu glory to rel, t. .tial. iii, 10, 17, are most com- forting words for all who think or speak of Hine.

The star which they saw was no ordinary star, but a supernatural light from God, for when they left Jerusalem the star which they saw in the east w'cut be. tore them till it came and stood over where the young child was (verse 91. It is not the custom of ordinary stare to lead any one directly to a certain house and remain over it. We cannot think that the star led them to Jerusalem and caused the death of ail those little children (verse 16), but it may have been that Jeru- salem and a visit to Herod became more real to them for a time than the tvonderful heavenly light and led them out of the way, for when they saw the star again they rejoiced with exceed- ing great joy (verse 10). Any kind of an earthly glare may cause us lo lose sight of the heavenly light and make trouble for ourselves and others.

Supplement Gold, New York, Dec. 13 -in banking cir- cles there is a mixture of opieion re- garding the report that the United States government and allied repre- sentatives now in conference at Wash - hightail over the silver gwestion, are seriously considering the adoption of silver, along with gold, as ' a basis against note issues. Some bankers re- fuse to believe that the foremost na- tions of the world will ever resort to the bi-monetary system, no matter what the difficulties may be. Others maintain that the vast load of more or less flatt currency that has been in- jected into the world's circulation. stakes it inevitable that another metal must be chosen to suppeennutt gold as a redemption basis. SUR IIINS SHOT TR ROUGH HERT. Thousands of people go about their daily work on the verge of death and yet don't know it. Every once in a while a pain will shoot through the heart but little. at- tention is paid to it at the time, and it is only'when a vinlcnt shock canes that the weakness of the heart is apparent. There is only one cure for the weak heart and that is Milburn's heart and Nerve Pills. Mr. H. A.

TWELVE MILES OF GOLD Some Idea of Size of Britain's Great War Loan "How ditiicult it is," says a writer In a London paper, "for anyone to form even a faint idea of what a vast sum like 21400,312,950 really means!

How Spies Are Outwitted A London paper writes: Long after all the commercial world had forgot- ten the existence or such a thing, the British Foreign Office used a sand 'shaker to ciry its important written documents. Then specially manufae- tured ink blotting paper was used, but this was not found to be spy proal, and a return to the sand shaker was contemplated, when someone suggest- ed the simple expedient of a small alt- sorbent roller•.

Mr, Mainwaring first addressed the. latter, "Brown, for the next hour or so, I wish you to be stationed in the hall below. Keep back the crowd as much as possible; when the coronet' and physician arrive show them up at once, but 00 110 account allow any one' else to come up -stairs." '('hen turning to his own serving - man, as Brown departed to his duties assigned hint, Mr. Mainwaring 001tin- ued,- 'Te>r you, Wilson, I have a task which 1 cannot intrust to any one else, but which 1 know you will perform faith- fully and discreetly; so far as you are able, keep a close watch upon every one within this house, without seem- ing to do so; pay close attention to all conservation which you hear, and if you hear or see anything unusual, Or that seems to have any hearing on what has occurred,, report to me at once. Above all, do not let any of the ser- vants leave the premises without they have cop permission." "Very well, sir," Wilson replied; as he moved away the butler reappeared. "The housekeeper has not yet left Iter roost, sir," he said, addressing Mr. Mainwaring. "i gave the message by the chambeemaid, and she sent word that she had been prostrated by the terrible news this morning, sir, but that she would see Mr. Whitney in a fete moments," As the man retreated Mr. Thornton paused suddenly in his walk up and down the corridor, - "'Pon my soul, Mainwaring! it strikes ate -particularly since hearing that will read yesterday -that there must have been something with refer- ence to that woman -well -rather pia• culler, don't yopl know." "11 strikes me," replied Mr, Main- waring with narked emphasis, "that there may be something rather 'pecu- liar,' as you call it, in that direction at present, and I believe Mr, Whitney is of the same opinion." "Flow is that? You surely do mit .think it possible that in his mind she is in any way associated with this mur- der -if it is a murder?" "He evideently suspects sante one in this house, and flu• the present we can draw our own inferences. Re- garding those provisions in the will to which you just now alluded, 1 can as- sure you 1 was not too well pleased; but 1 knew it was useless to raise any objections or questions; to my mind, however, they furnish a clue as to the possible claimants against the estate, which we were discussing yesterday, and perhaps a clue to this latest devel- opment, also." "By my soull it looks like it; but surely she could have no valid claim." "Valid or not," replied Ralph Main- waring, "there must have been at power fur claim of some kind.

He started slightly, and for an instant • neither spoke. Each was silently gauging the power of the other. For some time, Mrs. LaGrange had been conscious that Mr. Whitney was one of the few whose penetration could not be blinded by her blandishments, In addition, the fact that he was the private solicitor and legal adviser of Hugh Mainwaring did not tend to in- suire her with confidence regarding his attitude towards herself, Never- theless, he was an eminent attorney and this was a critical moment; if she could .gain his favor and his services in her behalf, it would be a brilliant stroke of policy. Her plans were well laid, and she was prepared to assume whatever role was necessary, so soon as Hs words or manner should give her the desired cue. For this, slie did not have long to wait; one searching glance, and she had read in the piercing scrutiny and cold scorn of his keen blue eye that, so far front winning favor from hint, he would prove her most bitter oppon- ent, and as quickly she determined up on her future course of letio11, Mr. Whitney, on the other hand, though a frequent visitor at Fair Oaks, and familia' with the fascinating man- ner with which, when she chose, Mrs. LaGrange entertained the guests of Hugh Mainwaring, was now forced to acknowledge to himself Mtat never had he seen this handsome woman so bea- utiful as at the present moment.
