The Turk and Life Insurance.

One man was complaining that he
had insured twenty years before in a
mutual benefit company which prom
ised all sorts Of things, and now the
time was up he received less than he
would have done If he had invested his
money elsewhere. A wise Turk who
was sitting close by said 1t reminded
him of a camel belonging to friend OF
his. It was q most intelligent brute,
and the owner was convinced that II
he found really good teacher it could
be taught to talk. Presently a Hodga
appeared who said he was Of the same
opinion and would teach it, but 1t
would take long time, probably thirty
years. The owner was delighted and
agreed to pay the Hodga fixed sum
per annum and big bonus when the
animal talked, the Hodga promising to
pay a heavy fine if it did not. A friend
afterward went to the Hodga and said:
"What on earth induced you to make
that agreement? You know you can
never teach the camel to talk" "Oh,
said the Hodga, at know that, but dur
ing the thirty years either | shall
die or the owner will or the camel.
Anyhow, I am all right, as have my
fixed income."-New York Commercial
Advertiser.

odd wedding Customs.

In Switzerland the bride on her we'd
ding day will permit no one, not even
her parents, to kiss her upon the lips.
In many of the provinces the cook
pours hot water over the threshold aft
er the bridal couple have gone in order
to keep it warm for another bride. A
favorite wedding day in Scotland is
Dec 81, so that the young couple can
leave their old life with the old year
and begin their married life with the
new one, surely a pretty idea. The
Italians permit no wedding gifts that
are sharp or pointed, from which prac-
tice emanates our superstition that the
gift of a knife sewers friendship. One
of the most beautiful CT all marriage
customs is that of the bride immedi-
ately after the ceremony finging her
bouquet among her maiden friends.
She who catches it is supposed to be
the next bride.
