STRANGE MARRIAGE CUSTOM.
spendthrift spinsters Were Able to
Avoid Their Debt Liabilities
by Foregoing Finery.

1t was an old idea that a husband
whose wife at her marriage was clothed
only in a sheet or in the most elemen-
tary linen garment was not in any way
liable for the debts previously con-
tracted by her, says the writer of Love
and Legend of the English Church. "
Our parish registers and local tradi-
tions give us ample illustration of this
quaint idea. At Chiltern, All Saints
John Bridmore and Annie Selwood
was married Oct. II, 1114. The afore'
said Anne Selwood was married In
her smock without any clothes
or headgear on" Similar cases oc'
Cured at Gorton Green in 1888, a
Ashton-under-Lyn in 1771 and Al
Otley in 1908. Avis birmingham Ga
.ette for 1897 vouches for an extraor
dinary story, according to which {
bride disrobed in the vestry and ap
peared at the altar without even th'
amount of clothing worn by the ladies
in the above cases.
The latest example of which tn
present writer knows comes from Lin
colnshire. The register OF Gedney ha
this commonplace entry: dec.

Local tradition supplements this brie
account by relating that the bride wa

Takes Place of Wheat.
The Nut is used Considerably by Foreigners
asa Food.

We have little idea in this country
to what considerable extent the nut
is used for food in a few foreign lands.
Our consuls have been sending infor
nation on this subject from far and
wide, and the facts here given are
condensed from a number of these re-
ports. We are trying to teach foreign
nations that Indian corn is an excell-
ent article of food, but most Of the
European peasan!ry still believe that
maize is fit only to fatten hogs and
beef cattle. Many of these same per
sons sill down to dish of steamed
chestnuts with much relish, and are
content if they have nothing else,
which shows that tastes differ.
Throughout France, from the Bay
of Biscay to Switzerland, there are
large plantations and almost forests
Of chestnut trees. The nuts are very
large, resemble the American horse
chestnuts, and are extensively eaten
by the peasantry and animals. In the
fall and winter the poor often make
two meals day on chestnuts. They
are steamed and eaten with salt or
milk, and physicians say they are
wholesome, hearty, nutritious and
fattening In some parts of France
walnuts also are regular article OF
diet, but they are losing ground as an
article of food because of their com
paralive scarcity. Walnuts are also
used to make oil. and the convcts in
some prisons are employed cracking
the nuts and picking out the kernels
from which the oil is expressed.
Almonds grow we'll in the middle
aud southern parts of France, and
while the shell is soft, green and tend

article. The meat is white and creamy

CORNER In EGGS.
Prices are now Almost out of Sight aud
Tremendous Flights are just ahead.

Eggs is eggs and they will be con-
siderably more than that by Easter.
They have gone clear outof sight and
they will continue to soar for some
time yet. The hens are aiding the
process and have in many places not
yet resumed publication which they
suspended when the late lamented
blizzard struck us.
Another cause for the price going
up is a corner of the hens product
which has been engineered by shreWd
operator. He and his agents have
bought nearly every available egg in
the United States and already the
market is beginning to feel the tight
ening process through which it must
go at his bidding.
At first the dealers were inclined to
laugh at his claims at having the
market cornered but when they tele-
graphed to all the principal cities and
found them without eggs the out look
began to be desperate. Farmers
would do well to hold on to what eggs
they have and wait until the rise goes
to the limit before Innloading. They
will then reap part of the crop planted
by the egg speculator.

1t is stated that the ball which was
to have been given after Lent in lieu
Of the regular Military Ball which is
always given before that period OF
fasting will not come off at all. The
first ball which can be given by the
students is to be the Commencement
Ball which the board Of regents pro-
vided for at their last meeting after
hearing thatit had been prohibited
last June.
Opposition of those who have author
ity to close the buildings to the stu
dents at the University is blamed for

as projected.

Resolved, that as Society we hereby
wish to express somewhat the sincere
sorrow which we feel at the loss Of one
of our most cherished members Alex
andria Gay Brown. Her bright sunny
temperament and kindly disposition,
her intellectual vivacity and apprecia-
tive spirit, her social and musical
gifts, her sympathetic response to
privilege or duty, the simplicity and
sweetness Of guileless and generous
nature, all these characteristics
made her presence with US pleasure
and her absence, disappointment.
Thus we esteemed her, thus we shall
remember her, the youngest Of our
number, and the first to obey the great
summons.
