Strange Custom

A singular bridal or marriage Gus
tom has prevailed for centuries in
what is called the cheese region" of
Switzerland. In that part of the Al
pine country. when n pair join in we'd
losk, it is the fashion for their init
mate friends to buy for them "rcgis-
ter cheese" It is presented TO the
couple on the evening of the wedding
day and is ever after retained BY
them and used as a family regis
ter.
On these heirloom cheeses the whole
history Of the family is carved, such
as births, marriages, deaths and other
incidents which it may be desired 10
make matters Of record. Some of these
old Swiss family cheege records are
said TO date back to the middle of the
seventeenth century.
At the agricultural fair annually
held at Gessentoy a great many cheese
records have been exhibited which
were known 10 be from $50 TO 200
years old. The Oldest that has yet
been displayed belongs TO a county
squire living near Gessenay, who
shows his family record carved on a
cheese made in 1850.
The Amazon is the king Of streams.
From first 10 last it receives over
1900 tributaries, Of which more than
100 are large-sized rivers, and rise -
far apart, and have their floods anil
GIBBS at such different seasons, that
the Amazon is at about the same
height the year round.
At some points on its lower course
one bank Is invisible from the other.
The beholder seems 10 be looking on
a great yellow sea Of fresh water.
It's mouth, including that Of the
Para, Is $50 miles in width, and ii is
navigable for large-sized ocean steam
ers for 1000 miles from the sea and
so vast Is the flood that the ocean Is
tinged yellow for 400 miles frtm the
