Queer Norway Cu.tom.


The Briton who has been in Norway
or Depmark and mixed with the Nor
Wegians at home cannot for the life of
him sympathize with the Scandinavian
custom of shaking hands Violently with
ones fellow guests at dinner and utter,
ing the words 'fhanks for meat" when
the meal is ended. 1t seems a most
futile and ridiculous proceeding. Well
and good if the Interchange of cour-
tesies We're confined to each guest sew
orally and his host. But that every IN,
diviCual should engage in a methodical
bout of handshaking with every one
else seems absurd in the extreme. Yet
our Scandinavian friends do not feel
themselves under any compulsion to
Justify this long established cYsto4n,-

How the Ancients Swore.

In ancient times it was considered
essential to the validity of an oath
that the witness should hold something
in his hand or place it upon some OBJ
ject of great sanctity. With the Jews
it was the book of the law, which no
doubt led to the use of the Bible in
Christian courts of justice. The Bed
puin Arabs have from the most remote
period used various forms of adiura-
ton. One of these was "By the tenn
ple." Another, still in use, is as fol-
lows: The person taking the oath takes
hold of the middle pole of the tent and
swears by the life" of the tent and it's
owner. Mohammed swore by the "set.
ting of the stars" q most poetieal oath.
