a Nestorian custom .


The following curious custom of the
HISTORIAN Christians, as related by Rev.
Arthur Beglan, is commended to the
serious attention of the young gentle
mengand young ladies' of our, own
ceuhtrys who propose to commit matri-
mony: After the marriage ceremony
has been performed the wedding party
is taken in wagons from the church to
the house of the bridegreom's. parents.
When the seconacwagoh, in which the
bride is seated alone, reaches the gate
opening into the yard 10 which the
house is situated, it is halted, and the
bridegroom's mother comes to meet It
With a baby and three suits of baby
clothes in her arms She throws the
child and the clothes into the arms of
the bride, who is required to undress
and dress the baby three times in the
presence of her mother-in-law, who
watches every movement as only a
mother-in-law can watch daUghterin-
law. If the newly-made bride does
not perform the operation to the salts
faction of her severe judge, she is con-
sidered unfit for her new position, the
wagon is turned around and she is
taken back home for further instruc-
ton, and the poor bridegroom is COM
PEELED to live in single blessedness un-
til his wife is educated up to the proper
standard.

Table Etiquette.

The Toledo Commercial says:
A lady writes to know whether it is
breach of politeness to pass the fork
to the right hand at the table, and says
