Throwing the sllrper.

The ancient custom of throwing an old
slipper after the bride and bridegroom
when starting on their honeymoon tour
Is, in many parts Of the world, supposed to
bring luck to the happy pair The Bible
gives much evidence in support of the sup
position that it is one of the most ancient
us well as one of the most inexplcable of
the many customs Of the Jews. In several
places in Che Bible we are given to under
stand that "thc receiving of a shoe is an
evidence and symbol of rejecting or resign
ing authority.'
In Ruth we read that sit was the custom
in Israel concerning changing that Il man
pluck off his shoe and deliver it to his
neighbor.n Therefore the throwing of IA
slipper or shoe after II bride was and is n
symbol or renunciation Of dominion and
authority oyer her by her parents or guard
ian, aud the receipt of the shoe by the
bridegroom, even If accidental, was IN
omen shat the authority had been trans
ferred to him
The origin Of the custom may be traced
to these words, which occur in the l0Sth
Psalm, cover Edom WI / cast out my
shoe" meaning thereby that success
should attend the methods used to subdue
the Edomitcs 1t is not unlikely, there
fore, that the superstitious custom OF
throwing the slipper has arisen from the
above construction of the words given,
The custom us it originally existed is fast
dying out Our forefathers threw old
shoes after the wedding equipage. we in
this more luxurious age purchase new
white satin slippers on purpose for the oc-
casion.-St. Louis Republic y

The republican feeling in Portugal is
very strong, especially since the revolu-

always been intimately ass ociated in
