Tbo Indiana called rock crystal an
"umiic diamond," and until the begin

was thought to lie the only land which
produced that precious stone. It was
not, then-fore, until the discovery of
India that the diamond was known to
us. Yet as fr.r back as &si II. C. a
"didactic history" of precious stones
was written, and In I'liny's time the
supply must have lieen plentiful, as he
wrote, "We drink out of n mass of
gems, and our drinking vessels are
formed of emeralds." We nre also told
that Nero aided his weak sight by
Hie'tacles made of emeralds.
Hut Is very dillictilt to determine
whence all the gems came, as discov
erers took care to leave no record. The
nations who traded in them were
afraid of their wherealsjuts being
known, and even the most ancient mer
chants would not disclose any definite
locale. All sorts of myths have ac
cordingly sprung up concerning the

The important part which different
rinnds play lu marriage ceremonies
nakes rnth-r an Interesting story.
For example, the Swedish bride fills
tier pocket with bread, which she dls
ihmis s to every one she meets on her
nay to church, every piece she gives
iway averting, as she liellcves, a nils
fortune. On the threshold of her new home a

;late of bonbons, one of which she and
'lie bridegroom share between them,
.he divided IhiiiUui signifying that no
litterncss shall divide them. A sieve
)f wheat corn is also given to the bride.
-f this she takes three handfiils,
:hrowg It over her head, emptying the
dove niKin the ground. The scattered
?orn denotes that the bride brings Joy
md prosperity Into her new home. The
,iide Is still outside the door, nor can
-he ent.T until she has placed two
oaves of bread beneath her arms and
taken a lnittle of wine Into her hands.
With these emblems she at length
.Tosses the threshold of her future

narrled pair bread and wine must lie

In Holland If a young man Is In lovo
w ith a girl and wishes to ask her hand

ake and, wrapping It up lu soft paper,
irooeeds to the house of his Inamorata.
He Is ushered Into the midst of the
family circle. Without a word lie
walks up to the young lady and lays
the cake on the table before her. The
rest of the family affect not to notice
anything unusual nud continue their
work or their rending. The young man
turns aside and talks to the father or
mother on some very ordinary subject,
keeping his eyes eagerly fixed on the
lirl while be Is conversing. If she net-opts
bis offer, she takes up the cake
and eats It. if she Is n ctxpiettlsh
lamscl, she tortures the young man by
turning It over and playing with It be
fore she divides to taste it and then en
raptures him by eating It to the last
crumb. If, on the other hand, she
wishes to have nothing more to do
with her admirer, she puts It back on
the table. The young man takes tip
the cake and, with a "Yaarvoal byzn
men," leaves the house. The matter is

The appearance of the bride pudding

Married by candy is the plan In Hur-

the palm for conciseness ami sweet

tne Initiative. Seeing n youth who
pleases her, she offers him a sweet. If
he accepts her proiiosal, he promptly
eats the token of affection, and they
are thereby made man and wife. In
I le ai t of eating alone this m.ist prim
itive rite consists. If the youth be not
favorably disposed, he remarks with
all gallantry that that particular candy
is not to bis taste, and the matter is
ended. In Mandalay three weeks after
