THE CRUMLIN METEOR1TE.

We are informed that the trustees of
the British museum acquired by pur-
chase the meteorite which fell at
Crumlin, near Belfast, on September
10 last. The stone will form an inter-
esting addition to the unrivalled col
lection of meteOrites in the department
of Minerals, and it will, we understand,
after a cast Of the stone has been made,
very shortly be placed on exhibition in
the Central Hall of the natural History
Museum
From the various accounts which
have reached the Museum Of the fall Of
this meteorite, and as the result f
personal inquiries on the spot on IT,

err OF the Department of Minerals, H.
following authentic information
speeding the occurrence has bee1' go
tanned: On Saturday, September Il, Il
1890 A. M, a loud noise as of an e&i
sion, was heard at several places on t>~
western side of Belfast-amOng others,
Antrim, Crumlin. Lisburn, MORA,
Lurgan and Pointzpass. 1t is note
worthy that Of these places Antrim and
Pointzpass are as far as thirty miles
apart. An observer at Crosshill at first
thought that the defamation was due
to the bursting Of the boiler in the mill
at Crumlin, a mile away while other
persons state they heard rafting
noise, similar to that made by reap
ing machine. but much louder. The
dctonation was followed by another
sound, like that made by escaping
steam. A man, W. j. Adams, who was
gathering apples from tree on the
edge Of a cornf1eld at Crosshill, near
Crumlin, was startled by those noises,
and still more so, Immediately, by the
sound as of heavy object striking the

QUAINT WEDDING CUSTOMS,

Old Relics of the Past Which Still
Are Found in Rural England.
Among the multitude of country we'd
dings that are following the ingather-
ing of the harvest some picturesque
old world customs are once again be-
ing observed.
Although in large cities and towns
modern weddings conform to the de-
crees Of fashion, the more remote
rural districts afford many quaint
ceremonies around which the flavor of
olden England still fingers.
The eastern counties of England, par
ticularly Norfolk and Suffolk, are rich
in three suryivals.
In the Fen district the elder of two
or more girls in a family is often
anxious to marry before any of her
sisters, for should one of her juniors be
led to the altar before her she iii she
lives in a village where old traditions
are still maintained) may be called
upon to inaugurate the festivities by
dancing alone in the farmyard. Should
any member of the sterner sex offer to
join her the proceeding is regarded as
tantamount to a proposal. The Gus
tom is observed to a lesser extent in
Worcestershire, Somerset and other
counties in the west of England, where
it is a stipulation that the elder sister
shall wear green stockings for the
dance.
Although no cake may figure at the
wedding breakfast Of Suffolk agri-
cltural laborer 1t is often the custom to
commence the old-fashiOned meal with
a huge spherical suet pudding richly
bathed with beef gravy; while no De-
vonshire farm wedding feast would be
complete without the introduction Of a
bowl Of "junket," that dish composed of
milk curdled by means of rennet with
sugar, spice and cream.
Among the inhabitants of jersey
the islanders themselves and not the
modern French and English settlers
a very pretty marriage custom exists
After the wedding ceremony is over and
before the happy couple enter into the
occupation of their new home the
granite slab over the porch, which is a
feature of all true Jersey cottages has
to be inscribed. This is done by chip
ping out in it the initials OF the bride,
those Of the bridegroom, the date of
the wedding and a rough representa-
ton Of two hearts entwined or other
appropriate symbols. The whole thus
forms a sort of marriage certificate In
stone for all the world to see.
The rustics in certain parts of Whit
shire have a not too pleasant way of
celebrating a wedding. When the brid-
al party has returned from church the
whole Of the villagers available sur
round the house, to which they have re-
paired armed with tin cans and sticks,
pots, kettles, tea-trays and anything
else that is calculated to produce the
maximum amount of noise with the
minimum amount Of physical exertion
Every one makes as much hubbub as
he can through his own particular
medium throughout the remainder OF
the day, and the whole proceeding is
called merry music" A somewhat
similar ceremony obtained in Glare
Market, London, until the demolition OF
that locality, where the butcher used
to play rough music" with marrow
bones and cIeavers upon the occasion
Of a wedding in the neighborhood.

LIVES OF LARGE VALUE.

CAPABLE Mems Earning Capacity Shown
in Damage Suit
A woman has begun suit in the New
York City courts against the railway
upon which her husband was killed to
recover the sum Of S250,00O damages for
the loss. Her claim is that her hus-
bands life had cash value to the ex-
tent named, from the fact that he was
able to earn a salary of 100000 a year
for some time before his death.
This is larger sum than has ever
before been legally claimed for any
single life, although juries in the cases

frightened, made no reply, much to the
disappointment Of the young fellow,
who concluded that she was uncon-
scious.
Ultimately the two were picked up by
the boat and brought safely on board
the yacht again, and the party reached
home without any further mishap. The
next day the girl took the first opportu-
nifty of thanking the young fellow in
private for saving her life, and Judge Of
his great surprise when she slyly re-
marked that his proposal at sea was
somewhat fal apropos. Needless to
say, the young fellow took fresh hope
from this hint and did not hesitate to
propose in the arthodox manner, this
time receiving favorable reply.
Not so happy an ending is attached
to the story of a proposal made under
somewhat similar conditions by a
young German, who was passenger
on the Inflated Elba, wrecked off
Lowestoft in 1895. While on board he
conceived a great affection for GER
tain young lady, but hesitated to speak
| to her on the matter. When the crash
came he succeeded i n getting a life
buoy for the girl and by its aid man
aged to keep her af1oat after ting ship

great risk managed to reach her room
But as he did so the stairs behind him

Doubtless it was the hopelessness OF

would never be known which led the
fireman to propose there and then, and
