GLEANINGS HERE AND THERE.

The people OF Lithuan!a believe In being fore
armed for emergency. At least so a curious custom
in regard 10 the marriage ceremony would seem 10
indicate. II is said that just before the marriage
celebrated the mother of the bride gives her
daughter parting maternal box on the ears in the
presence OF a number of witnesses The reason for
this remarkable proceeding Is that II the wife
should at any time wish TO a divorce she
would have the plea that physical force was used
10 make her enter the bonds OF matrimony.
