We are well balanced when our wills

Faith is higher than reason, as 10y

The geniality of some people amounts

Originality consists mainly in not

, MARRIAGE CUSTOMS.
TAe Throwing of Rice and Old shoes
II - Relic of Print
! tive Times.

Until the middle Of the sixteenth
century Christian marriage consisted
ut two distinct ceremonies-the be-
trothal or espousals, which were fol-
'oWed at considerable interval, some
ZINES extending to two years, by the
benediction or complete marriase.
: Many modern marriage customs are
relics of primitive times. For instance.
the throwing OF old shoes after the
newly married pair is remnant of
marriage by capture, when the brides
relations threw stones and other mis-
siles after the bridegroom as he rode
OH WIN ms ra"'r-'' ''"P. The hcnnv-
Inoon'ls IeiIc of th> .i.....,i. >rr,..,.n
IN which captured bride and her can
turer lived after the bridegroom had
occurred his wife; and the traditional
hatred OF mothers-in-law is merely q
survival of the old feud between the
bridegroom and the brides family.
troomsmen are another remnant of
marriage by capture. They were origi-
nhlIy the brides bodyguard when
she was pursued BY her bridegroom
and his friends. Then later they used
to be attached TO the brides procession.
and had nothing TO do with the bride
groom. Because their Office was re-
iuced to sinecure, they were armed
with lances, and carried lighted torches
for these captures were generally at
tempted at night.

MATERIALS OF BIRDS. NESTS.
Strange Competition OF Some ODD
SNecimenS.

strange Competition OF Some odd
Specimens.
The instinct of birds does not compel.
them in building their nests to use ONLY
familiar materials. The Literary d..
gest translates from French pcric;;-
ical the following examples of a birds
facility of adaptations:
a birds nest was found in the suburbs
Of Lille THAT was composed of white
wool and Of strips Of paper from a tele-
graph Office where the Morse system is
used, situated several miles away.
The bird must have made consider
able number of trips, for the quantity
Of paper was large, and it had made a
good choice Of material. for everyone
knows that paper is bad conductor of
heat; it holds heat well, and one does
not need to have Travelled around the
world to have found out that on Jour
ney good-s:zed journal of stout paper.
like tie English newspapers, holds heat
rs we.. as blanket. s1fe ~ 4alU#,
Near Besancon another nest was
found, made wholly of witch springs.
evidently taken from the factories in
the ncighborhood. Here the selection
was less happy, for metals are good con
ductors of heat. Finally, near SPOT
where a large st. Bernard dog is kent
was found nest built of hair detached
from the dogs coat In this case the
inspiration was evidently good. s4..
