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 a young
man pays a visit as avowed lover he
brings with him a bottle of wine, of
which he pours out a glass and pre-
sents it to the object of his desires.
If she accepts it the whole affair In
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 it
point blank, for that is considered a
gross insult proving that she has been
merely trifng 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

If any Of the wine is spilled or the
glass or bottle broken it is considered
most unhappy omen-in fact, there is
a peasants saying for an unhappy
marriage. They have spilled the wine

most striking was the "Crocodilopolis'
of the ancient Egyptian province OF

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
hllls--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 q little to the north
Of the city are q number Of irregularly
shaped mounds. Beneath these are the
ruins OF the pharaoh built "Crocodilop-

called Arsinoe aud the shrine Of the
