A MARRIAGE PROCESSION In NAZAREEH.
While we were resting under some olive
trees to-day marriage procession passed
us. 1t was led by about fifty men, in their
best clothes, mounted and armed who were
escorting bride home. Some ofthese men
played upon curious musical instruments.
In their midst sat the bride, astride upon
white caparisoned horse, led ty man in
flowing robes. Her wonderful garments
were stiff with embroidery, and she was
laden with magnificent jewels. She wore
the usual jacket, shirt, tunic, fall, and loose
trousers, and was attended by four very
ugly old hags of bridesmaids, who were
nearly as smart as herself. But these an
tique damsels(or damesl were distinguish
ed by extraordinary head.dresses, COM
posed ofrolls of silver coins about the size
of florin, piled up like the money on a
money changers counter, and arranged
around the front of sort of cap, something
of the shape of a great sausage. The
| procession included host of women and
children, and the rear was brought up by
q solitary camel, bearing huge scarlet and
green box aloft, which box contained the
brides trousseau. The journey was long
| one and to beguile the tedism they sang
songs and played upon their queer musi
| cal instruments, and every time they
| came to ever SO small plateau beside the
rocky path, the men broke out ofthe order
| of march and held a sort of miniature
tournaments, performing all sorts of
| intricate evolutions. They would tilt at
one another with their long lances, and
| fire off their long guns. Now and then
one of them would detach himself from
the rest, and really seem to fly up the
steep mountain side, his horse clamberng
over the rocks, and all the others rushing
after him in hot pursuit, shouting and
shriekng at the top of their voices

Curious Weather,

The weather this winter seems to be
particularly mild, and many persons
never saw its equal. Jacob Grafius,
Esq, a we'll known citizen of this
place, says that in 1912, on the 18th
day of November, the river closed,
and on the 23d, six days later, teams
crossed on the ice. On the last day of
December the snow and ice had all
disappeared, and beautiful weather
prevailed all through January, 1913.
Farmers went to plowing, and the
river was so low and clear that Mr..
Grafius went salmon fishing. Winter
set in again about the first day Of
February, and on the last day of
March there were two feet of snow on
the ground. The weather remained
SO cold that teams crossed the river on
the ice as late as the 7th day of April
Mr.. Grafius remembers all these
dates and circumstances very dis
tinctly. Lumbermen should not des-
pair, as this winter seems to be IA
counterpart of that of 1912. TWAS on
the last day of December last that the
ice left the river, and the indications
are good for cold weather.-LOck Ha-
ven Journal.
