Curious Test for a Husband.

Both in the northern and western islands of Scotland the natives have some peculiar customs unfamiliar to che dwellers of the mainland One of these, known as the marriage test, 2
 is practiced in the island of St. Kilda. where the population barely exceeds hundred The desire among the islanders to increase this number does not seem 10 be exceptionally strong. and every man. before he is deemed suitable for q husband, has to perform an evolution with no little bodily risk
 The St kildans are, of course, adept rock-climbers, and the aspirant for matrimony is therefore subjected to I.-e test of balancing himself on one leg on a narrow ledge overhanging a precipice, bending his body at the same time in order to hold the foot of his other leg in his hands. If found lacking in courage the maiden with draws her betrethal. and should the man fall over the ledge it is presumed that, in his case, he will be disqualified.
