TYROLESE CUSTOMS.


Peculiar Manner In Which Proposals.
Of Marriage Are. Made.
There is an old custom prevailing
among the Tyrolese regarding propos-
ais of marriage The first time young
man pays q visit as avowed lover he
brings with him bottle of wine, or
which he pOurs out a glass and pre-
sents it to the object of his desires.
If she accepts it the whole affair lie
settled. Very often the girl has not yet
made up her mind, and then she will
take refuge in excuses so as not to
drink the wine and yet not refuse 1t
point blank, for that is considered a
gross insult, proving that she has been
merely trifing with the affections OF
her lover.
She will, for instance, maintain that
the wine 'looks sour or that wine dis
agrees with her or that she is afraid OF
getting tipsy or that the priest has for
hidden her to take any-in fact, she
makes use Of any subterfuge that pre-
sents itself at that moment
The purport Of these excuses Is that
she has not come to decision and that
the wine Offering is premature.
This strange custom, dating very far
back-according to one account, it was
known as early as the ninth century
is called bringing the wine" and Is
synonymous with the act of proposing.
Shy lovers, lOath to make sure OF
their case beforehand, find it very
happy institution. Not a word need be
spoken, and the girl is spared the pain
full mo" of civilization.
If any of the wine is spilled or the
glass or bottle broken it is considered
a most unhappy Omen-in fact, there is
a PEASANTS saying for an unhappy
marriage, "They have spilled the wine
between them"

SACRED CROCODILES.


The Famous Shrine and the "Laby-
r:nth" In Egypt.
The crocodile, one of the most sacred
animals Of the east, has given its name
to several ancient sites. OF the various
cities of crOcodiles the names of which
have been handed down to us by He
rodotus,, Pliny and StrabO, perhaps the
most striking was the "CrocodilOpolis"
of the ancient Egyptian province Of
Fayum, which, according to tradition,
was built by that pharaoh who made
the lives of the children of Israel bit
ter with hard service" This province
lies within an almost complete circle Of
hills-a little oasis in the midst of the
desert, where roses and grapes mingle
with figs and olives and luxuriant palm
trees grow almost into forests. Its cap
ital is Medinet, and little to the north
Of the city are number of irregularly
shaped mounds. Beneath these are the
ruins Of the pharaoh built "Crocodilop-
Oils" the City of CrOcodiles," later
called Arsinoe and the shrine of the
sacred crocodile of the neighbOring
Lake Moeris, which was then $50 miles
in circumference. This lake held the
sacred crocodiles, and as each died in
turn it was buried in one of the 1900
underground sepulchers of the WORLD
famed ''labyrinth' at hand, side by side
with the embalmed bodies Of success

I.ondOnss Most Ancient Court.

The ancient court of hustings is OF

Of cause-that is, a house or hall of
causes. Courts of the kind were estab

regards London. it is the supreme as
well as the most ancient court and is
tine court of appeal from the sheriffs'
court In the earliest times it was
held weekly, but it is now summoned
only as occasion requires.

Shirt WaiStS.

Lingerie shirt waists are to be as
much worn as ever during the coming
season. There is, however, a decided
return to the dressy silk waist Of soft
taffeta. The newest of these bodices
are close fitting. well boned and made
with a pointed effect in front. This
latest wrinkle-the points sometimes
brought about with an added girdle,
but the really swagger idea is to cut
the waist itself into a deep, graceful
point directly in front.

SeaSOnable Materials.

Broadcloth retains it's place as first

are charming new Venetian and rep
effects that are smart for general wear.
Very desirable, too. are the checked
fabrics. A treatment of these designs
that is most attractive is the intrOduc-
ton of dots of deeper shade than the
ground work. They are not evenly dis
tributed, but are grouped in little set
figures, which give the checks a lot of
character
