ODD MARRIAGE CUSTOMS.
In Comparison the American Cere-
mony Is Simplicity Itself.

Contrasted with the crude functions
Of barbaric society, the wedding cere-
monies Of our highly civilized land are
as an American beauty rose to bunch
Of chickweed. No wonder brides and
grooms are eager to rehearse 1t care
fully so as not to mar Its enchanting
loneliness.
The Parsee groom must go with a
band to the brides house, first having
sent ahead presents of considerable
value, varying according to his financial
condition. At the threshold his future
mother-in-law meets him with a smile
and dish of fruits. which she scatters
at his feet.
Then the bride comes forth and she
and the groom are led into a room
where their hands are tied together
with a silken cord. AS the ceremony
proceeds the cords are passed around
their bodies until they are literally
spliced.
In Java bride and groom are rubbed
with the ashes of the red dogs bones,
while in Pennsylvania Gypsy bridal
couples are rubbed with weasel skin.
In Thibet the brides parents put home
made butter on the head of their future
son-in-law, while in certain parts of
Wales the father rides away on horse
back with his daughter, pursued by the
groom, but, like true parent, he allows
himself to be overtaken. In Syria the
bride and her parents ride to the home
Of the groom. The latter comes out TO
greet his wife-to-be. The parents, no
doubt, wishing to conceal their eager
ness to get rid of their daughter, make
O. show of resistance. Firearms are dis
charged but the cartridges are blank
and consequently no one is hurt, and
the pretending-to- be-reluctant bride
finally yields to her lovers entreaties
as the eighteenth century novelist
would say.
In Bengal it was once the rule to
marry bride and groom first to trees.
and, indeed, the custom is not yet who'll
ly extinct. The bride was led up to a
mahwa tree. In her hand she held
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1908-04-18

some red lead with which she smeared
the bark and then clasped the trunk
in fond embrace. This done, the attend
ants lashed her as tightly to the tree
as ever Farragut was to the mast at
Hartford It was the bridegroom's turn
next But instead Of splicing him to the
mahwa, they spnced him to the mango
tree appropriately enough il one con-
siders the spelling of the names of
these arboreal spouses. How long they
were kept in that position the historian
does not say, but goes on to tell how in
ancient Mexico the garments of bride
and groom were tied together in a huge
knot. Then the couple were marched
ten times around a fire, into which they
threw incense. After the ceremony was
concluded they tasted four days!
Among certain Siberians the BRIDE
groom is not permitted to have a wife
until he can catch her. But they do not
give him a fair race in the open. The
bride, surrounded by her female friends,
awaits him in a big tent. AS soon as
she sees him she starts to run. He fol-
lows like Hippomenes after Atalanta.

Only when it is feared he might give

fleeting lady is he permitted to overtake
her. Then as she falls into his out

utters some equivalent Of This is so
sudden
AS a show, this Siberian wedding GER

vaudeville to the spectators, but to
carry 1t out well more than one re-

niture if the entire realism of it is to be
attained The expense of making debris

NOT due TO TARIFF.
Uncle Joe Has Views on the High
Price of Paper.

Washington. April 18.-In the event
the attorney general does not show that
something substantial as been done to
prosecute the paper trust as a combi-
nation in restraint of trade, providing
the pending inquiry shows it is operat-
Ing in violation Of law, congress NAV
go into the trust fighting business on
its own account.
Speaker Cannon and Chairman
Payne, Of the ways and means com
mittee, contend that the tariff has moth
ing to do with the high price of print
paper; that If the scarcity of the raw
product is not responsible for it, then
the fault lies with the paper trust
which, by combining factories and reg
ulating the output. holds the prices
up to suit itself The speaker does NOT
intend to rush into the trust fighting
business, but he may offer a resolution
providing for searching inquiry bv q
congressional committee into the on
erations of the International Paper
company.
This inquiry if held will touch upon
the sources Of supply, the methods of
manufacture and manner of distrihm-
ton of products of wood pulp.
