Senator Proctor of Vermont, accom-

some fourteen persons. was once max

the procession, and the ladies of the
party brought up the rear. going in
pairs. That very same day another
party of fasteners was making the
rounds of Salt Lake City, and when
they encountered the Proctor party in
the main street they stood aside to let
them pass. We'll. welIr' exclaimed

odd Russian Custom.

Eight days after a baby is born in
Russia it's hair is shaved by a priest.
This is shipped off in four places on
the top of the head to form a cross.
The baby's godfather collects the shorn
down, pinching it up with wax from
the tapers. 1t is then thrown into the
baptismal font If the little pellet
sinks there is great sadness in the
baby's home, for the Russians believe
that the child will die before a year
has passed.
