From "Life in Brittany," by George M. Towle, we take this description of marriage customs among the Bretons: Manages de convenance are customary cot only nraong the higher and aristocratic classes, but extend as well to the lowest pea santry. Froperty is, among all, the great thing desired; the peasant has at least Home trifling pittance laid by, with parts of which he intends to endow his children when they marry. There is the samo diplomatic negoti ation among them, when a marriage is to be arranged, as takes place in the upper circles. Marriages ef the "commercial" sort are, how ever, cot so general among the peasants as among their social betters. The parties im mediately concerned are more frequently consulted as to their inclinations. The first move is made after a preference has been manifested among the young pea sants themselves. A young man sees a lass who pleases him. lie makes certain advances rather bashfully: she re sponds by tokens equally shy. It comes to be generally understood in the village that Jacques and Nannine will "make a match" if they can. Then occurs a remarkable event. There is in Brittany a curious superstition or rather a superstitious tradition about tailors. It is derived from Rome ancient legend which has endowed the village tailor with a peculiar sacredness and reverence. The tailor (in default of a notary) ii called upon to settle disputes, to teach the children with the priest, and to advise the good folk in all domeBtio or social difficulties. His peculiar , prerogative is to negotiate mar riages. The young man who is takon with the passion that comes in time to all finds in Lim a traf-ty adviser, engages him to arrange a marriage with the damsel's parents, and to vicariously "pop the question." There is a Breton saying that the tailor could, and he would, "marry a Turk to a Jewess." Another diplomat in marricges, the tailor's rival, is he who is called the "marrying beggar," who has similar prerogatives in tLis metier. The tailor, when he enters upon a marriage negotiation, carries with him, as a symbol of his office and hint of his errand, a broomstick (in low Bre ton called "baz-valan"), making the object of his visit clearly known to all concerned. For bis cervices he receives an invitation to the wedding feast, and presents of clothes and money. The bride is always fain to give bim a pair of stockings with yellow rims, sometimes a yellow stocking for one foot, a red one for the other. The tailor, according to the tradition, not bo favorable to him, must remain a bachelor it is a disgrace to parents to marry their daughter to him. He is the confidant both of the parents and of the lovers, and is consequently profound in all the domestic and interesting secrets of the neighborhood. He is the universal judge of the scandals; he makes it a point to keep his mouth tight while his ears are open and so is a mentor to all. When the tailor has broughe the parents of the two lovers together, thert ensues an animated bargaining about the dowries. It is a shrewd, mercantile negotia tion, usually, with the mediation of the tailor, ending in a treaty mutually satisfac tory. Once in accord, the parties proceed to seal the contract by diinking as much of the best wine to be had as each oan master; after wards seating themselves about the table, and smoking the pipe of peace, alliance, and con cord. The lass who is the subject of dis course is perhaps listening, ears all agape; flutters with the momentary doubtfulness; goes wild with joy over the happy conclusion. Afterwards both families meet at the cabaret and formally sign the contraot, which the tailor has drawn up in true legal shape; ad journing to the farms of each family to inspect the property, and to exhibit the sub stantial evidences that the dowry promised will be forthcoming. We quote the following from "The Sacred Flora" by M. D. Conway: The Catholic "rosary," which the Germans call Rosenkranz, or rosewreath, suggests that originally the worshippers may have oounted their prayers with roses; at any rate, it seemed certain that for a long time the larger beads were called roses. But this vas the case in Germany before the introduction of Christianity. The rose was held to be the favorite flower of the maternal goddess Holda, who, as we have before seen, was often called "Frau Rose, or "Mutter llose. It was f artly transferred, with all other symbols of lolda, to the Madonna, who is frequently called "Marienrosuhen. Mary, it is said, diies ber veil on a rose-bush, whioh thence forth bears no more roses. But there has been a tendency to assooiate the white rose particularly with the Virgin Mary, that being chiefly chosen for her fete days, wLile the warmer and more earthly feelings associated witn ' liau nose are still represented in tho superstitions con sected viih the red rone. If a white rose bloom in autumn it denotes an early death; if red, an eailv marriage. The red rose, it is 04 held, will Dot bloom over a grave. In Posen the "rof capple" is carried by the country maiden in her breast to Keep ber lover true In Thuringia she who has several lovers may came rote leaves at t6r tuem ana scatter taeru on water; the leaf that sinks last is that of ber trufht lover, or predestined huaband Home of the superstitions concerning the rose in Germany are singular; as for instance, the custom fonnd in s ine places of throwing rose-leaves on a cotd fire for good luck, and the saying that a rote-bush pruned on St. John's Day will bloom again in the autumn. The relation of the Cower to blood is widtlv believed. Thus oue may find in France and Italy, as well 4 Germany, the same that a drop of oiibrt Lloo.l buna oedtr a rose bush will bring rosy cheoka, The rose is also associated with an anolent rbarm once universal in Germany, still fre quent in Hwabia and Westphalia, against nose-bleeding, and indeed all kinds of hemorrhages. This formula in Westphalia tuts thus: "Abek, Wabek, Fabek: in Christ's garden stand three red roses one for the good God, the other for God's blood, the third for the angel Gabriel: blood, I pray yon cease to flow! In Swabia it is said: "On our Lord Jesus' grave spring three roses the first is Hope, the second Pa tience, the third God's Will: blood, I pray yon be still!" Sometimes again it is, "In God's garden bloom three roses Blood-drop, Blood-stop, and Blood KliJl," etc. These runes have ouriotn modifi cations. In St. Louis, Missouri, a German seined Strefger last year committed murder, and afterwards suicide. In his room was found the following charm against hemor rhage: "At the grave of Christ bloom threo flowers the first is Jugend, the second is Tugend, the third is Gubel" (Ubel). "Re peat three times, and the blood will cease to flow." I have somewhere met with a legend that the thorn-crown of Christ was made from rose-brier, and that the drops of blood that started under it and fell to the ground blossomed to roses; the fable has been re called to me, tkough I cannot trace it, by iLe felicitous lines of tne most gated Ameri can poetess (Mrs. nowe): "Men saw the thorns on .Tcsus' brow, But angels saw the roses." A similar idea pervades the story of "Dorn- roschen, known to English readers as "The Sleeping Beauty," or "Rose-bud," who, it will be remembered, sleeps in a palace surrounded by formidable thorn-thickets, in which all who approached perished save the true prince, to whom the thorns were all roses, through which he passed with ease. There is, by-the- way, in the same legend, as it originally ap pears in the Ed da of b:emund, a ourious remi niscence of the Oriental symbolism which connected the rose with silence and sleep. Wlien biguret there enters the castle and arouses Brvnhilda, she tells the story of her trance in these words: "Two kinss con tended; one bight Hi al in gunner, and he was old but of micfcle might, and Odin had pro mised him the victory. I felled him in fight; but Odin struck my head with the Eleepy-thorn, and said I should never beagain victorious, and should be hereafter wedded.

Cvke for Obesity. Mr. Schindler is the latest addition to the list of persons who have undertaken tne treatment and cure of exces sive fatness in the human race this condi tion being considered by him as a disturbance of the animal economy, in consequence of wbicn tne carbon taken in is acsumulated in the form of fat. Diet and exercise, as might re expected, constitute tne basis of his treat ment. As in the method of Mr. Banting, which some years ago was so much in vogue. the diet advised for fat persons consists of food containing a large percentage of nitro gen, to which some vegetables without starch. and cooked iruit, are to be added, for the purpose of moderating the excitation due to animal nourishment. This diet is to be varied, according as individuals are of a sanguine or iympnatio temperament. The use of oertain wines is permitted; beer is, however, entirely forbidden. (Jonee and tea are allowed, with as little sugar as possible. Cheese, potatoes, rice, beans, peas, maize, maccaroni, tapioca- arrow-root, and soups are cot allowed. The use of sulphate of soda is recommended, as moderating the transformation of nitrogenous materials and stimulating the oxidation of fat; and the use of mineral waters containing the sulphate of soda in solution is considered of the greatest importance in this respect. The waters of Marienbad, whioh are especially rich in this salt, are stated to have usually the most happy effect. Their use, together with that of same alkaline pills, and a strict adherence to the conditions above-mentioned, caused a decrease in weight of from twenty five to sixty pounds in different individuals in the course of a few weeks.
