Strange Worship.

In London is a sect which keeps up
the worship of the Greek divinities,
keeping alive all the rituals with which
the numerous Olympian hierarchy was
of cid wont to be invoked and prOpi-
tiated. At the same time there Is a
small select order in Paris which wOr-
ships the devil, erecting shriNs to the
arch enemy and affairs lit with his own
fire. The balance sheets Of both socie-
ties show that they are In prosperous
condition.

brilliant plaid may be used for the out

Marrying the Dead.

Among the many curious practices
that Marco Polo came across in his
travels In the far East. the Tartar Gus
tom of marrying the dead deserves no
tice. He says: If any man have q
daughter who dies before marriage.
and anouner man have had son also
die before marriage, the parents Of the
two arrange a grand wedding between
the dead lad and Lass, and marry them
they do, making Il regular contract!
And when the contract papers are
made out they put them in the fire, in
order that the parties in the other
world may know the fact, and SO look
on each other rs man and wife. And
the parents thenceforward consider
themselves related to each other just
as ii their children had lived and mar
ride. Whatever may he agreed on be-
tween the parties as dowry, those who
have to pay it cause it to be painted on
pieces Of paper, and then put these In
the fire, saying that in that way the
dead person will get all the real ar
ticles In the other world" This custom
is also noted by other writer's. even a.
late as the beginning Of the eighteenth
century.
