CUSTOMS OF THE TURKs.-Here is q whole
volume concerning the customs, manners, and
habits of the Turks, contained in a single par
agreph:
"The Turks abhor the hat but uncovering
the head. which with us is expression of respect
is considered by them disrespectful and indecent;
no offense is given by keeping on q ha, in a
mosque, but shoes must be left on the thresho I'D ;
the slipper, aud nos the turban, is removed ia
token Of respect. The Turks turn in their toes /;
they write from right to lit; they mount on the
right side OF a horse they follow their guests
TO room, and precede them OH leaving il /; the
left hand is the place Of honor they do the
honors of table by helping themselves first; ;
they are great smokers and coffee drinkers; they
take the wall hastily in respect they beckon by
throwing back the hand, instead Of throwing it
towards them they cut the hair from the head /,
bu. leave 1t on the chin they sleep in their
clothes; they look on beheeding as more dis
graceful punishment than strangling they deem
our short and close dresses indecent, our shaven
chins mark of effsminacy and severitude; they
resent an inquiry after wives as an insult they
commence their wooden houses at the top, and
their upper apartments are frequently finished
before the lower ones are enclosed; they eschew
pork as an abominaton; they regard dancing as
theatrical performance, only to be looked at
and not mingled in, except by slaves their
mourning habit is white their sacred color is
green their Sabbath day is Friday, and inter.
ment follows Immediately on death. The deaths

BArHrSG IN MOTION LEAp.--A scientific cor.
respondent writes the following:
We have often astonishsd the uninitiated by
passing the fingers and portion OF the hand
through melted lead This may be done with
impunity If the hand is slightly moist not wet.
Ia many persons the natural moisture of the
hands is sufficient. The metal is repeled by the
slight moisture. and the hand can be passed
through it without danger or Inconvenience. A
peculiar liquid velvety sensation is felt. which
is not at all unpleasant.
A writer in the Courier des Eiats Uais says
that the handscan be bathed in jet OF melting
iron at temperature Of one thousand six hun
dred degrees without any i'll results.

MARRIAGE IN JAvA.--The marriage ceremo-
uies observed in Java aie very curious. The
bride aud bridegroom are brought before the
dukun or priest, in the house they are to nhabit
They make series of obeisances: first towards
the south, then to the hearth, or fireplace, which
is to be the scene of their domestic bliss then
to the earth; and lastly they raise their eyes to
the upper story of the house, where the agrcul-
tural instruments are stored up, and perform
the same ceremony. Then the bride and bride
groom turn respectfully towards the priest.
and proceed to repeat long prayer, ask Tor
blessing upon the lives both OF husband
and wife. The bride has then to 90 through
ceremony indicative Of her humility, and will

ing his feet. Then the friends of the newly
married pair come forward with various nuptial
offerings, in the shape Of household articles,
implements Of husbandry, cruses or long knives,
buffaloes. etc. The bride and bridegroom, as an
acknowledgment Of their friends good will, offer
them betel nuts.

husband, on first starting in life. is unable to

cision. seeming to make at every Jump whatever
