The national customs of rural Ser
bia are very quaint. The marriage
ceremonies, for example, are of the
most elaborate character; the bride is
selected by the parents of the bride
groom, and this is looked upon as be-
ing quite in the natural order of hui
man affairs; but all the ceremonies in
connection with marriage are of the
most elaborate and, for that matter.
costly character.
Christmas ceremonies also are very
elaborate and are reminiscent of Pa
gan rites. One of the customs is to
cut down tree in the forest. and in
falling it must lie 10 the east. In
every household such tree is cut
as being sacred and not to be touched.
| There is much throwing of wheat,
which has a certain symbolic signifi-
canoe, and the log is then placed on
the fire, while, at the same time, the
inevitable pig is roasted for feast.
The ceremonies continue during
Christmas day, which is given up to
feasting, mingled with religious ex-
hortations, and only come to an end
when the night is far advanced.
People Are superstitious.
AS a nation the Serbians are ex
tremely superstitious, and this fea
ture runs through the whole of theii
national customs, whether it is in the
laying out of house or in the prepa
ration for death; but the Serbian
farmer does not fear death, as he
usually prepares the boards for his
own coffin and keeps them in readi
ness in his house.

Luther's Trust in God,

Luther's entire reliance upon God,
and his distrust of all human ways
and means, is clearly set forth in the
following passage from letter to the
German elector who befriended him:
mo sword can help in this affair
God must act alone without mans
care or aid Therefore who believes
most will be of most protection here.
And since l suspect your highness is
still weak in faith l can by no meanS
regard you as the man who can pro
tect or rescue me. Since your high
ness desires to know what to do in
this affair, and fancies you have done
too little, l answer respectfully sthat
you have already done altogether tor
much, and should do nothing
If your highness believed, you would
see the glory of God; but since you
do not yet believe, you have as yet
seen nothing. To God be love and
honor forever. men!'-Christian Sci

the manufacture of maize bread and
many other preparations in which
ground maize forms the basis.
The flesh consumed is principally
pork, although mutton, goat and beef
enter to some extent into the daily
dietary. more especially in the towns.
Pork, however, in the fresh and in the
cured state, is used everywhere, and
every farmer, small or large, is a
grower of pigs, the type preferred be-
ing the Mangalicza breed, which has
the characteristic of producing deep
layers of fat along the back, which
is cut into long strips, slightly salted
and used in the place of butter. So
important is the pork-curing industry
considered in Serbia that the govern
ment subsidies the curing establish
ments and in several ways gives con-
cessions to the curers of pig meat.
The salt required in the business is
subject to a rebate of so per cent Of
its value, as it is used for industrial
purposes, there being a state monop-
oily of salt in the country.
Sheep Rank Next to Pigs.
Some of the customs in connection
with agriculture are very interesting,
among them being the universal coop
Grafton of the. farmers in annually
sending their sheep to the hills. The
sheep industry ranks rext to that of
pigs, and wool is produced in consid-
cradle quantity. Serbian mutton is
noted also in eastern countries. and
before the war was much in demand
in Constantinople.
But the principal use of the sheep
is to produce milk, from which great
variety of cheeses is made. The farm
ers who are the owners of the sheep
unite together to employ one or more
shepherds, who take charge of their
fiocks and milk them while they are
on the hills The shepherds are also
responsible for making the cheese out
Of the milk, and pay themselves for
their trouble by taking a certain per
centage of the produce, the remainder
being divided among the farmers. ac

%HE kingdom of Serbia is one
of the smallest in Europe, and
has been very slow in devel-
opment. Greater progress,
however, has been made during the
last ten years than for centuries be-
fore. The area of the country is 3d.
S91 square miles, the population being
over four and half millions. mostly
protesting the Greek orthodox faith.
The inhabitants are largely devoted to
agricultural pursuits and, as a conse-
quence, there are very numerous small
farms in existence which belong to
the farmers, and by. the law of primo
geniture descend from father to son.
Although there are two large towns,
Belgrade and Nish, most of the popu-
lation is rural, and IS per cent, at
least, are engaged in agriculture;
but it is of primitive kind, as may
be witnessed any day on the small
farms referred to where the wooden
plow used in the days of Xenophon
may be seen in daily use
This primitive state of agriculture
is largely due to the absence of any
organization or systematic agricultur-
al education. Modern methods have
only been introduced in a tentative
way during the last ten years, but
there are no agricultural colleges yet

In the country villages it is the Gus
tom to give kind of feast five times
in the year for the souls of departed
heads of households, and food and
drink, including wine. are placed on
the graves and afterwards given to
the poor. 1t is high holiday for the
beggars, and they are not slow to take
advantage of the occasion.
In the country districts there is very
little use for money, as the farms. be-
ing small, are utilized for the prodIc-
ton of food for the winter, and this
consisting as it does, largely of wine
brandy produced from plums, sauer-
kraut, potatoes, onions and the pods
of capsicum, known in Serbia as pap
rika," there is little need to sell the
produce in order to buy other com
modities. All these and others are
stored in the cellars, but in the kitch-
ems of the one-storied houses, which
are the general rule, bacon, hams and
salted meat are hung up to dry and
to mature.
Although the houses in the country
| are not very large, there is still provi
sion made for the guest, who may be
perfect stranger but who is welcome
to the hospitality which is a tradition
with Serbians in the same way as it
| used to exist in the Scottish High
lands. The industries of Serbia are
small, as compared with agriculture
and this unfortunately is the result of
settled policy, which until recent
years was enforced by the governing
classes. When Serbia comes to her
own again after the present war. much
in the national life will be changed :;
the old order of things will have
passed away and the development OF
other industries besides those associ-
ated with agriculture is certain to
take place.
