COurtshIp Of savages.

Among the aboriginal blacks of Austria
liza, courtship as the precursor of marriage
is unknown. When young warrior is
desirous of procuring wife, he generally
obtains one by giving in exchange for her
sister or some other female relative of his
eligible damsel disengaged in the tribe to
which he belongs, then he hovers around
the encampment of some other blacks until
he gets an opportunity of seizing one of
their leubras, who, perhaps he has seen
and admired at one of the feasts Of the
corrobories. His mode of paying his ad-
dresses is simple and efficacious. With a
blow of war club he stuns the object of
his "affection," and as she recovers her
senses, brings her home to his own gum
yale in triumph. Another method with
wife-stealers is to ascertain the campfire
at which the girl whom he covets sleeps.
When he gains the knowledge, he creeps
close to the camp on some dark windy
night, and, stretching out his spear, inserts
its barbed point among her thick, flowing
locks, turning it slowly around, some of
her hair becomes entangled with it then
with sudden jerk, she is aroused from her
slumber, and as her eyes opens she feels
the point of another weapon pressing
against her throat. She neither faints nor
screams. She knows well that the slight
est attempt at escape or alarm will cause
her instant death SO, like a sensible wo-
man, she makes virtue Of necessity, and
rising silently she follows her captor to be-
gin a life of toll from which she is not re-
leased till death. oa" siaa enlr dliy

Married without Knowing It.

A Mr.. Thomas Cooper, an Englishman,
has published an account of his travels in
Thibet which he visited disguised as a
Chinaman. Among his stories is the fol-
lowing
He was just halting for breakfast, after
leaving the Thibetan town of Bathang,
when group ofyoung girls, gayly dressed,
and decked out with garlands of flowers,
came out of the grove and surrounded him,
some of them holding his mule, while
others assisted him to alight. He was
then led intoa grove, where he found feast
prepared, and after he had eaten, and
smoked his pipe, the girls came up to him
again, "pulling along in their midst a
pretty girl of sixteen, who was attired in
silk dress, and adorned with garlands of
flowers" He adds, "I had already noticed
this girl sitting apart from the others
during the meal, and was very much as
toDished when she was reluctantly dragged
up to me, and made to seat herself by my
side; and astonshment was considerably
heightened when the rest of the girls began
to dance round us in a circle, singing and
throwing their garments around me and
companion" The meaning of this singu-
lar performance was, however, made clear
to Mr. Cooper. He had been married
without knowing it. At first he tried to
escape the liability ontailed upon him
but such an outcry was made by all the
people around that he was forced to carry
off his bride. He managed to get rid of
her before very long, by transferring her
to ore of her relations, but even that was
not treated as dissolution of the marriage.
On his way back he was Joined by Thibe-
tan dame, about thirty years old, who said
she had come to him with the consent Of
her husband, to supply her daughters place.
We can well imagine Mr.. Cooper's sur
prise at meeting with this novel proposal
on the part of his mother-in-law.

German Genius.

It is less than seventy years since illu-
minating gas was introduced. Writing
from London in 1907, Walter Scott sneer-
ingly referred to the folly Of German who
actually proposed lighting the streets Of the
city with coal-gas. 1t is to Germany that
the world is now indebted for an invention
which will probably supersede lamp-light-
ers, their torches and ladders, and also
electric wires. Certain German engineers
have constructed an apparatus which is
quite simple, and can be fixed to all gas
jets. 1t acts solely by the increased pres
sure which is laid on from the gasometer
at lighting time. When the gas is turned
on at the main, all the burners fitted with
the apparatus are at once lighted, and the
diminution of pressure can be so regulated
as either to lessen the amount of gas con-
sumed OF totally to extinguish the flame.
By this means a whole city can be stimuli
taneously lighted, and one man be enabled
instantly to do the work which scores are
now required to perform in q slow and
laborous manner. In this, as in some other
departments of practical science, the pres
ent generation has little more than crossed
the threshold.

Probably tho Oldest timber in the werld
which has been subjected to the use Of
man is that found in the ancient temples Of
Egypt in connection with the stone-worI,
which is known to be at least four thousand
years old. This, the only wood used in
the construction of the temple, is in the
form of ties, holding the end Of one stone
to another to It's upper surface. When two
blocks were laid in place, an excavation
about an inch deep was madein each block,
into which a tie shaped like an hourglass
was driven. II is therefore very difficult to
forco any stone from its position. The
ties appear to have been Of the tamarisk or
shittem wood Of which the ark was con-
structed, sacred tree in ancient Egypt
and now very rarely found in the valley Of
the Nile. The dovetailed ties are just as
sound now as on the day Of their insertion.
Although fuel is extremely scarce in the
country, these bits of wood are not large
enough to make it an object with the
Arabs to heave Off layer after layer Of
heavy stone to obtain them. Had they
been of bronze, half of the old temples
would have been destroyed years ago, so
precious would they have been for various
purposes.

Tha PopnIatinn Of ChInn.

. Abbe David, who has recently devoted
some years to the exploration Of Chinese
territory ana the study of the people, says
that the estimate Of statisticians that the,
total population Of tho Chinese Empire is
but 100, 000, 900 souls is entirely incorrect.
The error is due to the terrible ravages,
made In certain small political divisions,
which have rebelled at times, and in which
wholesale massacres have reduced the in.
habitants to one half and some cases one
fifth their former numerical strength. The
province Of Kiangsi is, however the least
populated, and the average of each canton,
therein is 1000 people. There are 4,346i
cantOns, making an approximate total Of
1880, 900 inhabitants.l Among tho 10
provinces of the Empire, it is certain that
several largely exceed Kiangsi in popala-
tion but taking the above given aggregate
as unit, there must be at least 300, 0O& 900
individuals in tho country.

Ladies Should Read.

1t Is great mistake in female education,
to keep young lady's time and attention
devoted only to the fashionable literature
of the day. # you would qualify her for
conversation you must give her something
to talk about, give her education in the
actual world and its trarspiring events.
Urge her to read the newspaper, and be-
come familiar with the present character
and improvements of our race. History
is Of some importance but the past world
is dead We have nothing to do with it.,
Our thoughts and our concerns ahould be
for the present world to know what It is
and improve It's condition, Let her have
an intelligent opinion, and be able to sus-
tain conversation according 10 the mental,

CUBA.

The Cuban Agent Denies the Existence
OF q Conspiracy to Sell the Patriot
Cause.
Az might justly be expected, the letter pub
ished in yesterdays HERALD charging President
Santa Lucia and Mr.. Aldama with an attempt to
surrender the cause OF their country created quite
q sensation among many Cubans in this city and
the friends and sympathizers with their cause.
There are two points, however, upon which the
majority OF Cuban eXiles agree. The first ia that
there can be no doubt at all of the existence or
most serious misunderstanding between Santa
Lucia and General MaxlmO Gomez, and secondly,
agent OF the Cuban Republic. millionaire, IL Is
equally true that since MS ingress to Office, in De-
cember last, but little has been done 70 aid the
patriots in the field.
Whether this be true or not Mr. Aldama, who
saw d repreSen tative OF the HERALD Yesterday,
comes 70 the front and declares the whole story a
fabrication from bottom to top and says that IL IL
u transparent tissue OF lies cOnCOcted by well
known parties to injufe the Cuban cause by
calumniating the President OF the Republic and its
representatives abroad.
TDe cuban gentlemen who have been SpOk en-
with on the subject tnlnk that, hlc they regret
even the very existence OF the ugly rumors mat
were published yesterday, 1t Is better that their
truth or falsity should ne prObed TO the very bot
tom In order 10 AFFORD the parties implicated a
The pubic are told nothing about the two Vene-
zuelan gentlemen mentioned In yesterdays letter,
nor does Mr. Aldama explain tho reason OF the
fight between santa Lucia and Maxtmo Gomez.
1t IL well known that this General, who Is not a
native OF Cuba, can never ill the Presidency nor
does he aspire to place himself at the head OF
aairs, as the constitution iorbids IT, What, then,
Is the matter between those two leaders?
