CURIOUS WEDDING CUSTOMS.

somc Odd Phases Of Social Life In North
ern Michigan.
Many curious customs are in vogue
among the foreign population Of north
ern Michigan. especially in social mat
tiers. When a French couple get mar
ried, a carriage or a sleigh ride is in
evitable, according to the season of the
year. The couples are lot packed to-
gether in one wagon or sleigh, but each
fellow and his girl have an individual
rig, the bride and groom taking the lead
and the others following like o funeral
procession, but there is nothing funeral
about it, especially the pace set After
the procession has beer riding for hours,
a dance ends tho festivities.
The Polanders have a curious we'd
ding custom that is very ingenious as q
money getter, and takes the place of
wedding presents. After the wedding
feast follows a dance that sometimes
lasts IL to IA hours, and wen longer.
The chief honor is to dance with the
bride, and this is decided in q curious
manner The mother Of the bride takes
her place in one corner with a plate in
her lap, which she takes very good care
shall be built after the plan of an eat
ing house coffee cup. The gallant who
wants to dance with the bride, and all
are in honor bound to do SO at least
once, must pull out a piece Of silver and
endeavor to chip or break the plate by
throwing their money upon it, and only
those who succeed in chipping or break.
ing the plate are allowed the coveted
honor. Let those who think it easy to
break an ironstone plate try it. Few
succeed in doing it for less than so
cents, and it is not an unusual thing for
the BRIDES money to amount up to SIS
or 800, even where the crowd is ap-
parently as poor as a church mouse, and
it may 60 Q higher when the bride is
pretty and popular. All the money goes
to the bride, and in a backwoods coun-
try $50 to $75 will start o happy couple
nicely in housekeeping. Detroit Free

stopped for An Investigation,

WASHINGTON. May 25.-It has been
learned that the stopping of the pay

There IL q belief In India that Ger.
tain OF the corba carry about in their
mouths small shining stone which
they place In the grass after dark,
keeping u careful guard over 1t by q
quick swaying to and fro OF theii
dangerous heads. This was not be-
licved for II long time by Europeans,
until u native pointed out to we'll
known scientist the stone shining
from the midst Of the grass, and the
cobra keeping guard Overit.
The stone was secured by q clever
device on the part OF the native and
given to the professor, who examined
it and found it to DO a semi-trans'
parent water.worn pebble OF yellow

pea, which In the dark whom pre-
viously warmed emitted q greenisl

explanations Of this curious behavior
on the part OF the cobra: The 70

The cobra Is particularly fond O
