first President of the Parliament. The
Regent and her mart, together with
the peers of Parliament, assembled at
Poitiers in May, for legal conference.
Many causes awaited their decision.

already pressed his suit and been re-

Marie's rose -garden, tendering her an
ardent serenade. .Marie appeared at
her window. She chided him for "em-
ployitg the hours of thought and
etude in idle gallantry," "On the
morrow," she continued, "'twill be

SOME MARRIAGE CUSTOMS..
' In Siberia a bride, on entering her
hushand's house, must be prepared to
show bee skill epoking. She is ex-
pected to give u dinner prepared with ,
her own hands, as a test of the Ednoa-
tion she has received. ft she pleases
her guests it is taken not only as n
inerof that she is well qualified for her
new position, but that her family is
a worthy one, since her parents have
trained thine daughter so successful-
ly.
Them is another land where thrift
is expected of the young folks. In
Holland, says the Rev. 11 G. liardy
the Qiiiver, a girl is bound to ask ,her
fixture husband if he can afford to pay
the wedding fees.
In Norwey, however, things are not
quite se promising. The Norwegians
are always trying to put the beet foot
foremost, and they da it in referenee
to Marriage as well as in reference to
