among experts for many years and
the matter is now in the courts for

according to superstition, an infalli-
Bile remedy for encouraging back
ward young men to propose. The Gus
tom is not unknown among girls Of
the Latin races of going to the
neighboring cemetery in the dead of
night in quest of a stone which
when found and placed under the
pillow, is sure to have the effect of
bringing about desired marriage.
There has for long time existed
vague notion that the breaking Of
glass or porcelain vessel at mar
riage is certain to render the union
of young pair happy. 1t is suppos-
ed to have the effect of warding off
its dissolution by divorce.
A custom has long prevailed in
Jewish families of breaking the glas-
ses from which the bride and BRIDE
groom drink at their wedding and
then crushing the fragments under
foot. Among the Bohemians the Gus
tom prevails of breaking water
pitcher when the wedding breakfast
is eaten. The number Of years of
happy married life will, according to
the notion, correspond with the num-
