QUEER "HUM0R" AT WEDDINGS
ordeals Undergone by Bridegrooms In
Some Parts Of Scotland and in
Old Austria.

In parts; Of the Scottish highlands
there has long been in practice q
ceremony called "creeling the BRIDE
groom" After q marriage friends
take the bridegroom in hand. They
tie on his back a creel or basket and
fill it with stones. Then he is forced
to walk with his heavy burden through
the entire community, followed by men
to see that he does not drop the creel,
even for an instant The bride can
ransom him by coming out on the
street and kissing him in public but
If she is a shy person the bridegroom
must make the full rounds with his
basket of stones. The ordeal is made
worse for the man because the con-
ductor OF the ceremony is the last
person previously married, and he
naturally takes revenge by making the
creeling severe.
"A widely followed custom is to
make the bridegroom fight for his
bride in battle sometimes mimic,
but as often quite stern. In parts
of old Austria this was dramatic. I'm
mediately after the couple appeared
from the service they were surrounded
by young men in masks who tried
to separate them. Once separated, the
husband had to fight to regain his
wife. If he was unsuccessful he had
to pay ransom. Then to make matters
worse--for the bride as well as the
bridegroom-the wedding "feast" in

SHOULD EAT MORE CABBAGE
Diet Experts Of CorneII's College Of
Agriculture Recommend 1t az
Article Of Agriculture.

Experts at Cornell's college of ag-
riculture at Ithaca, N. Y, urge Wild
er use Of cabbage, asserting that this
succulent vegetable should be more
generally included in the diet. 1t is
rich in iron and other mineral salts
and contains a small amount Of
growth-promoting substance. Cabbage
is eaten much more by the Spanish,
French and italian races than by
Americans, largely because Americans
do not know how to cook it, it is con-
tended.
Cabbage" says a statement from
the college of agriculture plunged in
to boiling sailed water, and cooked
uncovered for 20 minutes, no longer,
will be a delicate light green color,
tender and easily digested. Long cook
ing, in tightly-covered kettle, pro-
duces dark, brownish mess in which
chemical changes have taken place
that make it almost indigestible.
Food specialists at Cornell suggest
boiled cabbage served with lamb, NUT
ton or beef, escalloped cabbage with
cheese sauce, fried cabbage with
minced onion, cabbage cooked in milk
and water, or baked with hamburg
Or frankfurters, lady cabbage, sweet
or sour cabbage, or filed cabbages.
Recipes for these dishes are found in
most cook books.
"For salads, cabbage gives an al
most endless variety; with apple and
onion, or with onion, celery or car
away seed, with green peppers, to-
matoes, carrots, salmon shrimp or
even pineapple shredded cabbage
makes an excellent combination. In
general, cabbage salads are best served
with boiled dressing"

Goats Milk,

According to the annual report Of
the California development board, the
only goat milk condensery in the world
is located at Pescardero, San Mateo
county, California, where herd Of
G,o00 milk goats is maintained by the
Widemann goat milk laboratories. The
demand for timed milk for tubercu-
lous patients is said to far exceed the
supply, goat milk having been found
a particularly valuable nutrient for
consumptives. The number Of milk
goats in California has increased 80
per cent in the last two years. A
large farm at Cool. Eldorado county,
was recently stocked. and the produc-
ton is to be used exclusively for the
manufacture Of goat milk cheese.

Many Bees Nests in Tree.

Besides camphOr there are found in
the forests Of Borneo, guttapercha,
India rubber, malacca for canes and
beeswax. These jungle products are
shipped out of the forests and find
their way all over the world. If
someone was interested in getting out
the honey, millions Of pounds Of wild
honey could be had at the cost Of
gathering it. AS many as 100 bees
nests in a single meugalis tree have
been counted. These trees are about
Z or 8 feet in diameter and tower
high above their neighbors. The ma
tives have an odd method Of climb
ing the trees and gathering the honey.
They cut saplings, and peg them into
the trunk of the tree they wish to
climb. They place these saplings one
above the other until they reach the
branches. Then they set going fire
of weeds whose smoke stupefies the
bees.

1T is the week in every month on
which l never go out to dinner, ex-
cept on some tremendous provoca-
ton, such as a twin brothers coming
home from China and having appoint
ed to return next morning, which does

the other, a blue-eyed (but amiable and
prepossessing) youth, drinking soda
water, and incapable Of any mental
exertion greater than ordering it."
