A oueer Japnnese Marriage Cu.ton,.

A Queer Japanese Marriage Custom.
Wild geese are considered the best
examples of conjugal felicity in the
animal world. Thus the Japanese
groom sends the bride a pair Of these
birds. and she i'm turn presents them to
her parents. To further emphasize the
matter the groom brings another pair
to the wedding, and they roost in the
room during the ceremony Their con-
duct is watched with care, for they
must not struggle TO escape during the
proceedings. Fortunate is the BRIDE
groom who cannot secure the geese
alive and must be content to substitute
toy limitations of the birds. for then
he has no anxiety lest the wild propen-
sity assert itself during the marriage
rites and thus prove an i'll omen TO the
