A QUAINT
CEREMONY,
WEDDED TO A PANTHER Natives of India have many strange customs and ceremonies, some of which are very interesting to witness. A writer in the Madras Mail describes a strange ceremony whch takes place in Coorg, when one of the native forest rangers has shot a panther He goes through a curi ous marriage ceremony with the dead beast as his bride the symbolical ides being that he 18 uniting himself-to strength and courage tr
Government, it is understood, gives the ranger a sinali monetary reward for every panther shot, and no doubt, some of this money goes towards the expenses of the Ceremony."
A pandai is erected in amitable spot! not far from the village where the ranger 2 lives. It contains on this occasion a sort of roughly made throne on either side of which are brass lampa from the village temple. The spectators take up their stand not far from the pandal Presently, a weird-medley of booting, yelling and howling is heard in the dis tance, and grows louder and more die- tinct as the procession comes nearer. Two villagers in gala attire supporting the dead panther between them head the procession. The panther has a strange unfamiliar look about it and its body bulges in unexpected places. As the pro- cession approaches closer we see that it has been akinned and stuffed with straw in a clumsy and inexpert manner. Be hind the panther-truly a strange bride wally the bridegroom, who is the forest ranger responsible for its death Behind him again walks the best man.

There is a great mingling of colours, fango red, green, yellow, blue, which stand out vividly against the sur rounding more sombre hned jungle. The bridegroom sits on the throne in the pandal, whilst the panther is propped up outale, by means of sticks and ropes, in a perpendicular position.
..
One by one the villagers come up to the throne and taking off their shoes pour milk-down the bridegroom's throat and prinkle rice over his head. The younger men of the community touch his feet, but this action is reversed when an older man steps up. After the milk and rice cere- mony is over, money is given and when all the villagers have been up in turn to the bridegroom the headmen of the village support him out of the paadal and lead him to the panther. A knife; is put in his hand, and he slashes at the ropes that bind the panther to its up- right position.

A CHINESE DINNER IN
LONDON.
A writer in the Westminster Gazette says:-
A friend recectly invited me to dine: at a Chinese restaurant in the West End. We had & charming little dinner chop-tuey covered with an omelette, fal lowed by chow chow and lychees in syrup. The latter fruit, though it must have travelled from China in some sort of a tin had not lost its original davour. The restaurant was cool and airy; the meal a perfect combination of food-stuffs for a brain worker, light yet satisfying. I fell to contrasting it with one I had in a Chinese restaurant in the Celestial Land
In this case the invitation, written on red paper, announced that a trifling entertainment awaited the light of my countenance." The hour camed for the feast being 4 p.m., 1'left home, in accord- ance with Chinese etiquette, at 6 p.m., art even then was the first of the invited guests, who numbered three.
