BREAD AND BRIDES,

RAGE CEREMONIES.

Sweetheart Cakes Of a Dutch DAM

Work For Their Supper-Wine In
China--Marricd by Candy.
The important part which different
yiands play in marriage ceremonies
makes rather an interesting story.
For example, the Swedish bride fills
her pocket with bread, which she dis
penses to every one she meets on her
way to church, every piece she gives
away averting, as she believes, n mis-
fortune.
On the threshold of her new home a
bride in Seryia is presented with n
plate of bonbons, one of which she and
the bridegroom share between them,
the divided bonbon signlfying that no
bitterness shall divide them. A sieve
of wheat corn Is also given to the bride.
OF this she takes three handfuls,
throws it over her head, emptying the
sieve upon the ground. The scattered
corn denotes that the bride brings joy
Z. Il
bride is still outside the door, nor can
she enter until she has placed two
loaves of bread beneath her arms and
taken bottle of wine into her hands.
With these emblems she at length
crosses the threshold of her future
home. At the tirst peal of the newly
married pair bread and wine must be
taken by both to denote that thence
forward all they have shall be equally
divided between them and that their
married life shall be passed in unity
and fidelity.
A Russian wooing eliminates in the
betrothal feast, at which the bride elect
in return for a long tress of hair which
she has given to the bridegroom re.
ceives bread and salt and an almond
cake.
In Holland IL young man is in love
with girl and wishes to ask her hand
In marriage he buys small sweet
cake and, wrapping 1t up in soft paper
proceeds to the house of his inamorata
He is ushered into the midst of the
family circle. Without a word he
walks up to the young lady and lays
the cake on the table before her. The
rest of the family affect not to notice
anything unusual and continue theil
work or their reading. The young maj
turns aside and talks to the father ol
mother on some very ordinary subject
keeping his eyes eagerly fixed on tn!
girl while be is conversing. If she ac
cepts his offer, she takes up the cak,
and eats 1t. II she is nv coquettisl

piece de resistance served at Morse
peasant wedding. This is not brought
on the table until the last day of the
festivities, thSee or five days being
given up to feasting and merrymaking.
The appearance of the bride pudding
is the signal of dismissal, and at the
close of the feast the guests say fare
well, presenting at the same time their
gifts, which consist Of cash. This the
bride receives, the bridegroom present
ing each donor with glass of wine.
Partaking of two tiny glasses Of wine
is all the ceremony necessary to make
a marriage In some Chinese provinces,
provided quantity of fireworks are
set off. These are to wake the 'great
joss" from his sleep that he may wit
ness the ceremony.
At q Hebrew wedding man and wife
sip from one cup Of wine, symbolizlng
participation in the joys and pain Of
earthly life. The emptied goblet is
placed on the floor and crushed into a
thousand pieces by the bridegroom,
who thus shows that he will put his
foot on all evils that may enter the
family circle.
At an Egyptian wedding feast meat
is not eaten because of the belief that
it would lead to future chickering's be-
tween them. Eggs. fruits and sweets
are served. The first meal in the new
house cannot be touched until, after
every device known to the bridegroom,
the bride has been at last induced to
speak. Once she utters word. he claps
his hands, and supper is brought to
them.
Married by candy is the plan in Bur-
ma. OF all marriage rites this takes
the palm for conciseness and sweet
simplicity. Here the dusky lady takes
the initiative. Seeing youth who
peases her, she offers him sweet. If
he accepts her proposal he promptly
eats the token Of affection, and they
are thereby made man and wife. In
the act of cutting alone this most prim-
tive rite consists. If the youth be not
all gallantry that that particular candy
is not to his taste, and the matter is
ended. In Mandalay three weeks after
marriage kinsmen bring the BRIDE
groom n bowl of rice, vessel Of wine
and fowl. much of which collation. Is
sacrificed to the spirits of ancestors.
A Bagoda bride-in the Philippines
if she be good looking and the daughter
of warrior. is sold by her father for
about $50, which sum is not given in

One way of estimating such things Is
at the price of brass gong. Such
gong is worth thirty silver dollars. and
