ACURIOUs CUSTOM:

Sir John Lubbock, in his recent work on
"The Origin of Civilization" speaks OF
curious custom very widely spread among
savaees of all regions, by which, on the birth
of baby, the father. and not the mother, Is
put TO bed and nursed like sich person Tor
several weeks This custom was almost
universal among the Indians OF South Amer
lea. Dobritizhoffer, the old Jesuit mission
arv TO Paraguay, tells us that mo sooner
do Won hear that a woman has borne child
than YOU see the husband lying in bed. hud-
died up with mats and skins lest some rnder
breath of air should touch him, fasting. kept
in private. and for a number OF days alb
staining religiously from certain viands ; you
would swear it was be that had the child.
| had read about this ir old times, and
laughed at il, not thinking | could believe
such madness l used to suspect that this
barbarian custom was related more in jest
than in earnest; but at last L saw 1t with
nv own eyes among the Abipones.''
Brett, in his account of the Indian tribes
of Guiana. SAYS he saw a man whose wife
had lately been delivered, lying in ham
mock, wrapped up as if he were sick, though
really in the most robust health, while the
mother of the new born infant was engaged
in cooking and other work about the hut
Traces os this custom were found in Green
land. where, after woman is confined, the
husband must forbear working for some
weeks; and in Kamskatka, where for some
time before the birth Of baby the husband
must do no more hard work. Similar no.
tions are found among the Chinese. among
the Dyaks of Borneo, and what is still stran-
ger is that they exist to this day in Corsica,
in the North Of Spain, and in the South OF
France, where the custom is called fare la
courade. Max Muller. in bis Chips from
a German Workshop" tries to account for
it thus: sit is clear that the poor husband
was at first tyrranized over by his female
relations, and afterward frightened into ST
perstition. He then began to make mar.
tyr of himself till he made himself really i'll
or took to his bed in seli-delence. Strange
and absurd as the couUade appears at frs
sight, there is something in it with which
we believe, most mothers-in-law can symPa
thize." Sir John Lubbock, however, pre-
fers to accept the Curb and Abipone eXpla
nation, which is that they believe the infan
would be injured in some way if the fathe
engaged in any rough woIk or was careless
of his diet.

UNCERTAIN. Any person may live lohg
or die suddenly. Life is not measured. Even
diseased lungs have outlived double the av-
erage of the healthful. Men have been
struck on the head by falling beam and
survived the injury, and died subsequently
from the effects of splinter so small that it
could scarcely be seen with the naked eye.
One of the most remarkable men that ever
lived was strangled by cup Of cold water.
Another expired in a paroxysm of laughter.
Death is an invisible agent. His approach
cannot be seen by any one and very often
comes when least expected. 1t is the part
of wisdom to be ready for his visit when
made. There is no time to pack trunks and
put on clean clothing ofter the whistle
has sounded. Tie train moving to eternity,
like some of mans limitations, runs on sched-
ule tin @.

WHITEwAsH AS A COSMETIC WhitewaSh

countries, as to who was or who was not

was determined at all events to Keep it a

obtain some Of the sweepiDgs. They did not
even scruple to rob each other of the little
share that some had been so happy as to Sc

MINCE PIES The following recipe for
mince pies, which are now in season, is con-
fidently recommended by writer in the
Germantown Telegraph. after using it for
many years:
boil fresh beef tongue tender, let it get
cold, then chop it fine with one pound OF
suet, one-half peck of apples, two pounds OF
currants, picked and washed very carefully,
one pound of citron sliced, half an ounce
each of powdered cloves, alspice, cinnamon
and ginger. three pints Of sweet cider, one
pint Of Madeira wine. half pint If brandy,
with sugar eaough to sweeten to your taste.
This will make large jar full.
