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.
Turner & Co. send us the December num
bers of Arthur's Home Magazine (which has
numerous illustrations, fashion plates, and a
pleasing variety of reading matter) and The
C.t'drcns Ilour, which is full of attractive
short stories, verses, and pictures that will
plcate the little people.
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.
