snanish Bridal Customs.

In Spain a bride has no girl at
tendants to stand at the altar with
her, but instead a "madrina." or god
mother. Neither does she have a
wedding cake or any festive departure
after the ceremony. The welded pair
go quietly to their new home, where
they remain until the following day,
when they start on their honeymoon.
Before leaving they pay a formal visit
to their respective relatives.

Egg of Captive Sattlesnake.

One of a boxful of four rattlesnakes
sent to Fred Kempe1 from California
three or four days ago laid an egg,
which is said to be almost without
precedent, as snakes in captivity new
er breed.
The egg is only a little smaller
than a hens egg, and the small rat
tier can be plainly seen curled I'D in
side of the opaque membrane. It is
expected to hatch within a day or two.
Few naturalists have ever been able
to locate the eggs of the rattlesnake,
owing to the fact that the snake is
exceedingly torpid at the time, and
seeks the bottom of its hole. so as
not to be prey for the birds, which
attack it.-Milwaukee Sentinel

ABOUT THE AGE OF A CROW.
A Tag Would Indicate That One Lived
More Than Twenty Years.

more man iWenty years.
A farmer living near Orrville, Ohio,
says a correspondent of the Toronto
Globe, has just received a much-prized
little aluminium plate marked as fol-
lows: Return to George McCarren,
Orrville, o." with which an interest
ing story is connected.
George McCarren, ST., father of the
man who received the little billet of
aluminumS was an eccentric naturalist
and spent much time in the study of
youth, about twenty years ago, he
says he remembers being told by his
father, the elder McCarren, Of a dis
pute the latter had with a fellow nat
uralist at Akron, Ohio, as to the age
to be attained by a common crow, and
finally, to settle the matter, McCarren
attached an aluminium tag to the crow
captured in the fields and sent the bird
forth with the plate securely fastened
to it's neck by wires. The legend or
the plate requested the finder to re-
turn it to McCarren in Ease anything
should happen to the bird.
AS McCarren, Jr., remembers it, the
two men made a bet as to whether the
plate would be returned within TWEEN
ty years. If the ROY were killed or
died they counted on the little billet
being found and returned to the adj
dress on the plate. If this were not
returned they believed it would be suf-
icient evidence that the bird would
1e still alive. McCarren bet that the
plate would not be returned within
that time; hence he won the bet. The
crow was killed by a farmer boy
named Anglers in Holmes county last
week, and the billet returned to the
son of the better, the elder McCarren
having died before he could realize the
proceeds and the satisfaction of win
ming his wager. The little billet is
highly priced by the McCarrens as a
memento of the fathers eccentricity.
