Curinu. old Custom.

In one Of the suburbs OF Paris a
wealthy merchant died the other day,
and on the evening OF the funeral his
nelghbors witnessed n curious cere-
mony.
An hour before the body was 20 be
taken TO the cemetery the relatives OF
the dead man. five or six in number,
went out into the garden adjoining the
house and walked solemnly and silent
ly around It. Each carried a lantern
and kept his eyes fixed ON the ground,
Os though he were looking for some
thing. Finally they all halted in front
OF a large pile OF stones and, laying
aside their lanterns, proceeded to throw
down the pile. After every stone had
been removed they examined minutely
the spot on which the pile had rested
and then slowly and with bowed heads
returned to the house.
This is an old Norman custom, and II
is observed In this instance because the
dead man was a native Of Olson. There
is tradition in Normandy that before
burying a body all the ground around
his dwelling should he searched in or
der TO make sure that the soul has not
hidden itself somewhere. At one time
every family in Normandy faithfully
observed this tradition, but now only n
few pay heed to it.

A Normandy Injunction.

A strange old world privilege, dating
back to the time when the Norsemen
came to Normandy, was exercised last
year In the island of Guernsey. 1t is
called the Glamour de IIaro." By the
ancient law Of the island n person who
thinks his land rights are being In
fringed upon has only to draw up n
statement Of the case. which he sweTrs
to before two witnesses. This he then
presents to the bailiff of the island and,
dropping upon one knee. cries out in
French: "Oh, Rollo, my prince, succor
me. am wrongedr'
This proceeding acts as an injunc'
tion, and the person complained Of as
trespasser has to stay his trespass un
til the matter has been adjudicated up
on by the courts. This right Of issu.
ing ones own injunction by calling I'M
to Rollo was given to the people of
Guernsey by ROllo or Hrolf. the Nor
wegian pirate who made himself the
first Duke Of Normandy in 9l1, and
there Is probably no example Of legal
procedure Of like antiquity which Is to
day carried out in the same way as
that in which It was first instituted.

In Greece it is the custom for the
man of the house to go out early in
the morning and not only to order the
days food but to send along with the
boy who delivers it explicit orders how
he wishes to have it cooked. In this
connection It should be remarked that
any man of Greece can cook any Greek
dish. Grecian women seldom go 10
market and often do not know how TO
cook as well MS their husbands.
These people eat very lightly in the
morning. the meal consisting Of fruit.
At noon comes the first real meal,
the breakfast. From noon until 4
o'clock they sleep. This is the mid
day sicstn. TO call upon Greek at
this time were quite as rude as TO call
upon an American ut a corresponding
hour in the morning. At o'clock an
other light luncheon is eaten. The din
ner, or hearty meal, is not eaten until
late in the evening, sometimes as late
as o or 10 o'clock.-Good Housekeep-
