Superstitutions of Brides.
Detroit Free. Press.
One of these is expressed in an old
rhyme which is familiar to us all:
Change the name and not the letter
You change for the worse and not for
tiie better.
Another is that the day must be
fine in accordance with the old-time
saw:
Happy is the bride thatthesun shines
on
Blessed are the dead that the raiu
rains on
There is still another superstition
poetically rendered that a bride’s
wardrobe must contain.
Something old and something new
Something borrowed something
blue.
It is considered very bad fortune
for a bride to make her own wedding
cake or to have anything to do with
it; and strange as it may seem it has
been observed over and over again in
unhappy marriages that the bride
had stirred tiie wedding cake
To lose the wedding ring in the first
month of marriage augurs great mis-
fortune. To lose it any time is sup-
posed to predict a calamity. There is
an explanation of this superstition
which is of rhe same theory that time
will cure all ills:
Ab the wedding ring wears
So wear away life’s cares.
How Cossacks Make Love.
Denver Republican
“The Cossack in bis village” says
a Russian traveler “lives and works
like other peasants nut he can be
distinguished in a crowd of other
villagers. The Cossacks and their
women have straight stalwart wiry
figures. In comparison with them tho
other peasants are angular under-
grown and flabby. The Cossack’s
face is beautiful too although
it la somewhat colorless; but in this
regard it is like the average Slav.
The Russian countenance is not deco-
rative so to speak; it Is not attractive
at fhe first glance; you must look at
it to see its comeliness. Look at the
Cossack's face and you find it beauti-
fully oval in form with large
bold eyes of a bright blue color
with a straight sharp nose. The
whole expresses nobility and deter-
mination. It reminds one of a bold
beast of prey. The beast of prey can
not easily be tamed. It refuses to
submit even to the influence of love
and yields with ill grace to its de-
mands. Such is the case with the
Cossack too.
“1 have witnessed a scence of love-
making among these people. The
loving pair stood about 30 leet from
one another. She amused herself by
throwing stones at him aud he re-
taliated with clumps of dirt. They
enjoyed themselves seeing each the
other’s capers at trying to dodge the
missiles aud exchanghed remarks
which would be considered anything
but proper In polite society. At last
she hit bit with a stone on the
shoulder so hard that he staggered.
He uttered an oath and fired a big
clump of dirt In her breast so that
she nearly lost her breath. I thought
that she'would break his head for
that as he deserved. Rut she did not.
She poured out a volley of abuse on
him. He answered in the same strain.
£ observed them for some time. They
were a couple engaged to be married
so my driver told me. Their faces
when tb«y quarreled burned with
wiath. Their eyes flashed hate.
Portuguese Wooing.
Fro n the Philadelphia Telegraph
The Portuguese are very conserva-
tive in their ideas of the poeitiou of
women in society and they got their
ideas from their Moorish masters io
bygone centuries. Consequently girls
lead a very shut-in life; they go regu-
larly to mass Bunday mornings and
take occasional walks during the week
always accompanied by one or two
chapertmes. Young men never call
at the houseand if they did would not
be admitted “except on business.”
This strictness leaves but one way
open for an interchange of sentiments
and that is the window and it iB quite
the thing to make use of it. It is con-
sidered ill-bred to stare in Portugal;
a man may stare at a girl he does not
know as long as he likes; be must
not do so to a girl he has been
introduced to unless she turn
some encouragement by returning hie
glances. A girl will sit at her win-
dow all the afternoon looking into
ttie street and her adorer from the
street looks at her and this is so
much the custom that it attracts no
attention from the passers-by. Frcm
looks they proceed to bows to smiles
to a few words then he follows her
to church finds out if she is
going to the theatre and goes
too serenades her with his guitar on
moonlight nights and finally makes
an offer to her lather. He is then re-
ceived by the family and allowed to
come to the house in a quiet way
until after the wedding aud after t hat
the young couple usually live either
with her'parents or with his and
the even tenor of tneir life con-
tinues.
War Against Hats.
New York Herald.
The French hairdressers are circu-
lating a petition which they will sub-
mit to the minister of Fine Arts when
it has 500000 signatures. The purport
of the document is that women be
prohibited from appearing in their
hats in the theatres subsidized by
the government and that the coiffure
of the ladies at such entertainments
be according to the fashlou devised by
the Hairdressers’ Association. The
cause of this strange request is that
the trade in false hair has greatly de-
creased for the last few years and the
present fashion of dressing the hair
in Grecian style threatens a still
greater falling off in that trade.
