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.
