One of the queer superstitions here in Jerusalem is the idea that a marriage in a cemetery will propitiate the Lord and cause Him to favour His people. This is be- lieved by the native Jews, and several cemetery weddings have recently occurred on account of the drought. Pal- estine has had no rain for weeks and the crops are drymg 8-! THE EVIL EYE up. The people are wildly excited over the prospect. There is also an epidemic of infantile paralysis, which has been carrying off the children. The ...people think that God is angry with them, and perhaps wroth because the graveyard marriages have been too few. To pacify Him they have had weddings in the cemeteries, though a graveyard is considered a most unlucky place for starting upon the life matrimonial. Indeed, it so unlucky that brides and grooms have to be hired to get married there. At a marriage which took place this week the couple received two hundred dollars in gold, besides food for two years, as a present for having the ceremony in the cemetery.
