Odd Marriages In the Philippines.

The marriage custom of the Negu.
los is peculiar. The young man who
seeks bride, first obtains the con-
sent OF her parents and then pursues
her. catching her in his arms. She
breaks loose and runs and does not
yield until he has captured her sever
al times. Finally he leads her in tri-
umph to Der home. Here her father
drags the youth up ladder to the
floor Of their hut and the mother
drags up the maiden. They are then
made to kneel and the father then
pours over them cocoanut shell full
OF water. He then bumps their heads
together and the ceremony is COM
plete. They spend their honeymoon
In the depths Of the mountains and
for five days and nights are lost to
eight, after which they como back to
every day life.
There is another custom which ia
worth describing. Instead Of the
youth and maiden being dragged up
the hut ladder, they are made to
climb two saplings that grow near
each other. Then an older of the
group grasps the saplings and draws
them together until the heads of the
young people touch, with kiss or a
bump, according to the force used.
This makes them man and wife Tho
