MARRIAGE CUSTOMS.
sChe Throwing of Rice and Old Shoes
Is a Relic of Primi-
tive Times.

Until the middle of the sixteenth
century Christian marriage consisted
of two distinct ceremonies-the be-
trothal or espousals, which were fol-
lowed at a considerable interval, some
times extending to two years, by the
benediction or complete marriage.
Many modern marriage customs are
relics of primitive times. For instance,
the throwing of old shoes after the
newly married pair is a remnant of
marriage by capture, when the brides
relations threw stones and other mis-
siles after the bridegroom as he rode
off with his captured bride. The honey
moon is relic of the enforced seclusion
in which a captured bride and her cap
turer lived after the bridegroom had
hatred of mothers-in-law is merely a
survival of the old feud between the
bridegroom and the brides family.
Groomsmen are another remnant of
marriage by capture. They were origi
nally 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-
duced to a sipecure, they were armed
with lances, and carried lighted torches
for these captures were generally at
tempted at night.

SHOOTING AT SEA.
1t Is Difficult to Shoot EnectiVeiy
from a Ships Deck-Rule Followed
by American Navy.

Necessarily the deck of a vessel at
sea offers much less satisfactory plat
form from which to shoot than the
solid foundation provided in a land fort,
since even when the ocean is calmest
the vessels must constantly roll from
side to side. Theoretically the best
time to fire would be at the moment be-
tween the rolls, when the deck OF the
ship is perfectly level, and in general
way it may be said that an attempt Is
made to do the shooting at that IN
slant. 1t is practically impossible,
however, to fire invariably when the
decks are horizontal. No matter how
careful the gunner, the piece is almost
ALWAYS exploded just before or just
after the proper instant, says the New
York Press.
The American practice, both in the
army and navy, has always been TO
shoot low and always save ammunition
until it was possible to use it effective
ly. In the navy the tradition to shoot
low has crystalized into standing rule,
unwritten, indeed, but none the less re-
ligiously observed, and its wisdom has
been proved on more than one occasion
of great importance.
The precise form of this unwritten
naval rule is to wait for the downward
roll" This is the converse of the maxim
obtaining in the British navy that it is
best to take advantage of the upward
roll," which has been observed almost
from the beginning of naval fighting by
L
This was rendered the more certain
from the fact that the spherical projec
tiles then in use would ricochet along
the surface of the waves if they STRUCK
the water exactly as stone will skiT
along the top of a pond when properly
thrown from the hand of small boy.
