Some Singular Customs.

Sumo Slm& uIoR Customs
The Dutch on the Isle OF Marker, In the Zuyder
Sea, have good many singular customs Children
Of both sexes are attired here In the same kind OF
garments until the women get married Previous
TO that there is no perceptible distinctive mark
between the boys and girls, except that the boys
wear q small button on their heads A remarka.
Bile oddly among the children Is asO the fact that
both boys and girls wear two long curls on their
heads When the girl Is courted by the amorous
Dutchman from MarEen theyoung swain appears an
the home OF his sweetheart every evening the
love-making Is continued all night, and In the
DARK, TOO. There Is special room In the ho,lse
set apart Tor this purpose. Here the couple
the house when the day breaks, and II he be found
with his girl after dawn he forfeits the right OF
ever spooIing again. When the young danlsel of
Narken gets married she shaves the front hair or
her head clear on, and substitutes q false "bane
made OF horse hair, and this custom Is JUSTIFIED by
the reason that the married woman uses these
means OF making herself look ugly, In order TO be
never again thought pretty after marriage.
Another very peculiar custom among the people
OF Marker Is this: When girl gets married her
father makes her bridal bed, which Is built In the
wall OF the bridal bedroom, In the shape OF cup
board, about feet from the ground In this bed
the newly married pair sleep the FIRST night after
their wedding. The next morning this cupboard
Is closed up, and II Is never used again by the
welded couple.
