£IG11T Balkan Gypsy Marriage Customs The gypsy in the Balkans is able to m arry, divorce and rem arry as often as his fancy changes.' Each time the m arriage ceremony, per formed under gypsy rites, consists of both man and bride remaining tied together to the trunk of a wil low tree for one whole night. Di vorce consists merely of cutting a Willow branch held between them. Both sides can insist on divorce at will. Search for Fountain of Youth An old woman told Ponce de Leon •bout a fountain of youth in Florida when he visited the Biminis, in the Bahama group. The legend prob ably originated in the story of a fresh water spring in the ocean near the Florida coast. A Spaniard who drank from the spring was said to have attained a new lease on life. Peculiarity of Cactus Family The cactus natural order, known to botanists as cactaceae, ranges in size and form of plants from globular bodies little larger than peas to candelabra-like arboreal growths fifty feet high. In the case of the giant cereus of Arizona, southeastern California and north ern Mexico, shafts of this height are occasionally single or with very few branches, but, in southern Mexico and below, great umbrageous cac taceous giants are mistaken for trees at a distance, for they are of sufficient stature, states a writer in the Los Angeles Times. There is scarcely any form in plant life throughout the world, aside from lofty trees, that some member of the cactus family cannot match. No flower grows whose counterpart in color cannot be found in this inter esting group of more than 5,000 named and published species. Early Retirement Temple dancers on the Island of Bali, Java, are forced into retire ment at the age of twelve, as after that age it is thought that their muscles become too stiff and set to render the requisite grace and •gility. These dancers are said to be at their best at the age of six. How the Tiger Got Its Name The word tiger really means an arrow, and comes to us from the Old Persian. An arrow fired from a bow travels very swiftly through the air, and as the tiger also travels swiftly it was called by the Ori entals an arrow, or tiger.
