Peculiar Marriage Mites.

Northern India and the. island Of
Bsnquey can certainly claim to
have the most peculiar marriage
rites Of any country. In the former
q COW and calf are invariably re-
quired at the marriage. The iani-
mails are driven into narrow run
ming stream, the priests and the be-
trothed couple also standing in the
water. The man and womnn each
catch hold of the cows tail ,and the
priest pours water out of a. glass
vessel upon their joined lands,
while all present mutter certain
prayers. The young folks are then
declared to be man and wife, and
the priest claims the COW and calf
as his fee. In the islandt Of Ban
quey the officiating priest takes q
sharp Uife and with IL makes a
small incision in the right leg of the
bride and bridegroom. From each
incision he gathers . few drops of
blood and transfers them to the
other ones leg. This operation, to-
gether with q short religious formu-
Ia, constitutes the whole Of the mar
fiage ceremony.
