StOrk Legends.

In an old collection of matronly sto-
ries entitled THE Gospel Of the Dis
taft" printed at Bruges in 1875, this
passage occurs: when a stork builds
her nest over chimney it is a sign
that the proprietor shall have wealth
and long life" Ancient beliefs admit
ted that the stork protected buildings
against lightning. 1t is holy bird,
and in certain German towns the ar
rival of the storks, heralds of spring,
was announced with joyous blasts by
the Waterman on the tower. What is
certain is that which Michelet says Of
the swallow may be applied to the
stork ''He has taken not only our
house, but also our hearts,"
Legends go still further. They con-
| slider storks as the incarnation Of de-
parted souls. In that metamorphosed
! capacity they have for mission to
search the bottom of wells for the souls
| IF newborn infants. In the whole Of
northern and central Germany they
have their baby wells. Hamburg, too,
had her ':kindelbrunnen.' This naive
faith has its origin in ancient mytholo-
81, which represents the stork, Jointly
with the peacock, as the favorite bird
of Juno, goddess Of French

GRAVEYARD Marriages.

A strange custom prevails among a
certain tribe in the Caucasus. When
single young man dies, some one calls
upon a bereaved parent who has car
ried to the grave manageable daughs-:
ter in the course Of a year and says:
Your son is sure to want a wife. I'll
give you my daughter, and you shall de-
liver to me the marriage portion in re-
turn" A friendly offer of this descrip-
ton is never rejected, and the two par
ties soon come to terms as to the
amount of the doWry. which varies ac-
cording to the advantages possessed
by the girl in her lifetime. Cases have
been known where the young mans IA
Their has given as much as thirty cows
to secure dead wife for his dead son.
