that she must sew and be industrious and that if she comport herself well she will have all good things.Celibacy is almost unknown among the Mordvins, and when it does occur it is nearly always the resultr of a vow.especially in places where Russian influence is strong.Sometimes a girl is not married in consequence of a vow to a diety\u2014if hail, for instance, has ruined the crops, or some misfortune has befallen the family.Such young- women are termed the \u201cwife of the hail king.\u201d Parish registers of marriages and births were instituted in England in 1536.In 1695 births were taxed.For an infant Duke the levy was equivalent to $150, while for an ordinary-baby it was 50 cents.It is said that Cecrops, first King of Attica, in 1654 B.C.\u201e instituted marriage between man and woman for life, with certain ceremonies of a binding and solemn nature.Dangerous customs of bombarding bridal couples with rice is waning.Fashionables now pelt them with confetti or heart-shaped paper rose leaves of delicate pink shading into whito, _\t¦\u2014r\u2014 FOUST SHERBROOKE DAILY RECORD, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 25, 1918.;\tvû'otvî'Tu'ïT\u2019iTrtr3-s\u2018a\u2018 321^0.garments for tne inmates of the\tshortening, per lb., 27c.emergency hospital.Those who were\tOleomargarine, per pound, prints, BIRCH LOGS, 14' and up, first class j those who brought c_ooked food for the j ^rSsed C poultry.3 Ib.l^sprmg MAIL CONTRACT cial)\u2014Warren Walker, eldest son of Mr.and Mrs.Greer Walker, of South Durham, passed away on Tuesday moming, October 22nd., at the General Hospital, at Sherbrooke from chial pneumonia.Deceased has resided in Sherbrooke for a number of years, but about a year ago he returned to South Durham, and took up work on his farm.Two weeks ago he went to Sherbrooke to help care for his brother and sister, Mr.and Mrs.John Beattie, and family, who were all ill from influenza.On October 16th., inst., he was taken ill and went to the Hospital for treatment, but despite all medical skill and good nursing could do he passed away on Tuesday morning.He leaves his father mother, one bx-other, Malcolm, and 1 three sisters, Mrs.J.Beattie, and ;
