MARRIAGE CUSTOMS IN RUSSIA
There is a Good Deal of Nonsense
About Some Muscovite Ceremonies.

From the Chicago Chronicle.
Many of the customs in vogue in the
villages of Russia appear supremely
nonsensiCal to the majority of people,
yet they seem to be firmly rooted
among the people. They have, in fact,
prevailed for centuries, and are likely
to continue for centuries yet to come.
The peasants have peculiar way of
testing a prospective member of the
family.
When the parents of a young man in
Russia decide that a certain young
lady would make suitable mate for
him they say nothing about the matter
to any one but on some evening they
will drop around Unexpectedly at the
prospective brides home, and will stay
for supper. During the meal they will
keep a close watch on the young lady.
If she eats fast she will perform her
work speedily; if she goes neatly and
cleanly about her plate she will per-
form her work neatly and cleanly; If
she does not talk LAUGH she will work
and not talk, and prove faithful and
obedient wife TO her husband: If she
prefers rye bread to white she will
be satisfied with her lot; If she does
not gaze and stare at the visitors she
| will be a wife that will not continually
pry into her husbands business, and
If she Immediately proceeds to clean
up the dishes after the meal she will
bring prosperity to her husband and
will be economical with his mon9y.
A most peculiar thing about the
marriage ceremony is the fact that
when the couple enter the church both
| groom and bride make a dash for the
| platform on which is the pulpit. 1t is
| believed that the one whose foot
| touches the platform first will live the
longer, and that the children will take
after that one in size, health and
| beauty.
