Is a holy lake, and' they b.-llevr both the Inke and It* surrounding country are endowed with suiwrnaturnl powers and Inhabited by unearthly being*. All kinds of weird tales mingle with: tli.-ir explanations of any feature <-f, the lake. Even oo 'simple an object as a great rock lying In the middle of a river Just where It flows from Lake Itajkul tik.-s on a mysterious, Slgqlfiennee. If this stone were to slip from place, they say. the whole of. I.nke Baikal would pour out of Its; . basin and flood the river, and pro'mle, ly the continent. , ' Rut there aee actually many *tn tiga' things about Lake Baikal. Then Is, for example, a species of fish that Inhabits the deepest part. These fish, have been seen by few |>er*<ma, for, as soon as they an- lifted out of their arrustomed atmosphere of high water prnisure, they explode. Probably First Osm# Law.

A word may be said as to new customs which have come Into force at society christenings and marriages, says Gentlewoman, Ixtndon. In old days a baby usually had three godparents—a boy two godfather* and on# godmother, and a girl two godmothers and one godfather. But nowadays there are often six or seven sponsors, und these In varying proportions And presents wtra formerly limited to silver cups or spoons and forks from tho godparents or near relations But now costly gifts are given not only by sponsors, but by many of th# guests at the christening. Checks for s good sum are often given ; a pearl necklace Is a frequent gift, or sometimes one : or two big pearls are presented, with the promise of more to follow oo hlrlb- ! days or at Chrlatma*. In this way a valuable necklace Is gradually formed, to be completed when ths lacky girl • make# hsr dsbut or when she marries. The chief change in weddings l» the fact that some of tha smarts#' now take place In the country and not In London. - 1 1 I
