MARRIAGE IN PERSIA.
Curious Customs Accompany th. W.«k
Lang Carwneny.
Marriage in Persia is a quaint
business. The happy pair aro not
allowed to see each other until they
are formally betrothed, and this
takes place in the presence of a
mullah. The lady appears with her
face thickly ranged and powdered
and her eyebrows painted; it ia
therefore difficult to see what she
is like. She is not allowed to speak.
.At intervals she is presented with
jewels, lumps of sugar covered with
gandy strips of gut paper, or, in
some cases, gold leaf, and sugar
eaady molded into the form of
bowls. A burst of music announces
the arrival of the bridegroom. The
room is «t once cleared, every one
retiring into an inner room. Frdm
behind curtains the women watch
the groom, seated on a thronelike
chair, receive gifts and eat Sweet
meats. -After some dancing and
■moking the men go oat and the
womenfolk come in again.
A smart Persian wedding may
extend aver a weak. On the last
day of the ceremony the bride, who
has been treated as a sort of out
cast, is conducted by a near relative
to a room where she undergoes
further and more elaborate decora
tion. She then vetarns to the gnest
room and her dowry is laid b«fore
her in trays. The dowry often com
prises such queer things as cheap
and highly colored oleographs,
gandy vases and bird cages, and
there are also useful honsehold-ar
ticles.
Having kissed the hearthstone of
her home, she is given bread, salt
and a piece of gold, and thus equip
ped and closely veiled she is lifted
on to a gayly adorned donkey and,
accompanied by -a circua-like pro
cession of friends, goes to her fu
ture home, where her husband
awaits her.

a volley ind then "clapped down
at full length on the ground to

them." The only exception to this
Srone attitude was the colonel. Sir

unwieldy that had he lain down it
would have required a lever to lift

Th. Man Wh. Meddled.
"I have made it a fast rule in
life," said the pale faced man to
the prosperous merchant, "never to
meddle with another roan's busi
ness."
"That is quite right," replied the
merchant.
"But all the same, I wish to tell
you something in confidence about
your business. You have a new
secretary, I see."
"Yea."
"Well, take my advice; don't
trust that man. I've watched Ijiin.
He's dishonest, he's u lieavv
drinker, he's a rogue. You look
him out of charity, 1 suppose?"
"Not exactly. He's my eldest

Th. SnMzing Prayer.
The custom, still quite common
in some of the countries of the old
world, of saying "Qod bless you'' to
the sneezer originated, according to
some authorities, among the prim
itive Romans, who, through the
opinion of the danger attending it.
after sneezing made a short prayer
to the gode, as "Jupiter, help me."
The custom is mentioned bv Ho
mer, by several of the older .iewish
rabbis and others, and is found, it
is said, among various savage peo
ples about the world. Another au
thority says the custom took its
rise at the time of the plague. 558,

sneezing.—New York American.
