The bride is usually seated on a camel and covered with a sort of tepee from the top H of which the greatest palm leaves obtainable are projected. i Over the door of the bathhouse a handkerchief is hung to denote that only women may enter, Af- ter the bride and her friends have bathed, they abandon them- i selves to the enjoyment of the ¢ entertainment provided vy the musicians, story tellers and sing- ers. ; Among the Moors, girls are fattened for the marriage mar- ket much as the pouliry farmer treats his livestock. The staple } food of the women is bread, and t it Is chiefly with this that they are fattened. Long-shaped pellets of it are constantly forced down thelr throats for a period of about three weeks before their marriage. The bride has to be put through o strange ordeal. She is placed in an_ ill-ventilated wooden cage, usually white- washed, and is taken in it in pro- cession through the streets to the bridegroom's dwelling. After a two weeks’ honeymoon the dis- carded box Is placed on the roof of the house in a prominent post- tion, so that all may see it. This is an official intimation that the newly wedded pair are ready to receive friends. toot ntmtnenanenentronenenenentee DERIVED FROM EARLY CUSTOM How Missouri Got Its Now Generally Used Nickname of the “Show- ! Me” State. An early-day custom in Missourt regarding marriages is sald to be re- sponsible for the famous expression, “I’m from Missouri; you've got to show me.” A good many years ago the marriage laws in Missouri were so loose that any one could get married without answer- ing many questions. In 1881 a law was passed making it a misdemeanor for a minister or a justice to marry persons not having a state license. It also set the age of marriageable Women at eighteen If the apnlicant for a Icense did not know the age of his bride-elect he had to show her to the license clerk and let him Judge her age. When the applicant went after the girl she naturally asked why she had to go along to get the license. When told that the law required her exbibition, she re- marked: “Oh, you've got to show me?’ This occurred many times dur- ing the first year or so of the luw's enforcement and became a byword. | Thus Missouri became known as the “Show-Me” state, How You Can Be Transparent. A liquid that renders flesh invisible or transparent has been invented. If a hand er arm ts immersed tn this liquid its flesh will disappear almost entirely from view; the bones, how- ever, will be visible, as under X-rays, The mixture makes the flesh of your hand transparent because it bas the same index of light refraction as the flesh. The light rays passing through the liquid are not bent, or refracted, when they pass through the flesh, though they are bent by the bones, which have a different index of refrac tion. Different parts of the body have dif- ferent Indices or refraction; any part can be made to disappear by submerg- ing it in the proper liquid. But not all parts at once, so the magic cloak of invisibility is still to be discovered. How Films Aid in Education. More than 500 motion picture filma, dealing with more than 115 subjects, are now being circulated by the United States Department of Agriculture. A recent one, photographed largely from a drop of water, represents the origin and spread of rhubarb blight, a dis- ease that brings great loss to the truck farmer. Besides the organisms and their spread, the film includes field scenes, the symptoms of the blight, and methods of eradication. This is one of the few series of pictures pho- tographed largely through the miscro- scope, thus showing objects invisible to the naked eye. How to Keep Young. For the preservation of youthfual- ness a placid temper should be assid- uously cultivated by every woman who values the youthful appearance of her face and skin. A worrying temper is most ageing. It makes a woman of thirty look more than forty. it adds years—in appearance—to her age. It is a powerful foe to the magic of youth and often makes daugh ter, look older than her mother, be- cause the daughter is a persistent wor- rier over smal! trifies, while the moth- er has become a philosopher, How “Cold Shoulder” Orisinated This expression, now common, arosc out of the custom once prevalent ip France of serving to a guest who bad outstayed his or her welcome a cold shoulder of mutton ingtead of a hot roast, as a hint for them to go. POINTED PARAGRAPHS The king can do no wrong, If the other fellow holds four aces. What every woman knows: How to manage her daughter’s husband. Talk is so cheap that most of It hes to be disposed of at a big discount. An old bachelor says that marriage is the permanent injury that reswts from falling tn love. Give the average man half a chance to talk about himeelf and he will de liver the goods. Some folks would Judge the popular- ity of an actress by the flowers she presents to herself. Some women get red in the face from modesty, some from anger and others from the druggist. Every man likes to have it salu) that his baby looks like him, but gets mad if told he resembles the baby. —Chicago Daily News.
