MOslem Marriages.

Brokers generally arrange these
marriages, though there are some
love matches in which the parties be-
come attached to each other without
the intervention of third party.
When a man has reached the marry
ing age, he is expected to enter the
matrimonial ranks, unless prevented
by poverty or some other impedi-
ment, and it is considered improper
and even dishonorable for him to re-
frain from so doing. Ii a marriage
able youth has a mother, she de-
scribes him to the girls of her ac-
auaintance, and enables him to de-
eide whom to take to his house and
home. Frequently he engages the
services of woman marriage bro
ker, who has access to harems where
there are marriageable women, and
is employed by them quite as often as
by the men. She receives fees from
one party, and frequently from both.
In her visits to the harems she is
accompanied by the mother or other
feminine relatives of the young man;
she introduces them as ordinary visl-
tors, but gives a sly hint as to the OBJ
iect of their call. If they do not
ike the appearance of the maiden,
they plead many calls to make, and
cut short their stay; but if satisfied
they come to business at once, and
ask how much property, personal or
otherwise, the young lady possesses.
When these facts are ascertained
they depart, with tile intimation that
they may call againl If the young
man Is satisfied with the report of the
broker he sends her again to the ha-
rem to state his own prospects in life,
and, if she looks fayorably on his
suit, the match is made. Every
thing is arranged by deputy, and the
Mohammedan lover does not see the
face of his mistress until she is his
wife.

Remarkable People In China.

There is in China remarkable
people known as "the nameless sect"
They profess "an old religion" which
prevails more or less all over China,
but especially in the province of
Shangtung. Disliked and prosecuted
by the civil authorities, they have for
long time endeavOred to keep their
beliefs and practices secret. Their
religion is said to have come from
the West. whence they also expect a
deliverer. They do not worship idols.
At the close of their religious services
they have a meal, of which bread
and wine form the greater part. 1t
is thought that they may be the rem
nant of the native churches planted
centuries ago in China by HISTORIAN
missionaries, who are said to have
preached the Gospel for nearly a
thousand years through Southern
and Middle Asia with marvellous en-
ergy and success, and to have exert
ed powerful influence in China for
upward of six hundred years, from
the seventh to the thirteenth century.

The Egg Dance In Iud,a.

A much more pleasing performance.
and one which might, perhaps, better
have been mentioned in connection
with the exploits of the jugglers, is
the 'segg dance" This is not, as one
might expect from the name given it,
dance with these fragile objects.
1t is executed in this wise:
The dancer, dressed in corsage
and very short skirt. carries willow
wheel of moderate diameter, fastened
horizontally upon the top of her head.
Around this wheel threads are fas-
tened equally distant from each 9th
er, aud at the end of each of these
threads is slip moose, which is kept
open by a glass bead. Thus equipped,
the young girl comes toward the
spectators with basket full of eggs,
which she passes around for inspec-
ton, to prove that they are real and
not limitations. The music strikes
up jerky, monotonous strain, and
the dancer begins to whirl around
with great rspidity. Th n, seizing
an egg, she puts it in one of the slip
nooses, and, with quick motion,
throws it from her in such way as
to draw the knot tight. The swift
turning of the dancer produces 4 CEN
| trifugal force which stretches the
thread ont straight, like ray shoot
ing from the circumference of the cir
| Gle.
One after another the eggs are
thrown ont in these slip nooses, until
they make a horizontal aureOle or
halo about the dancers head. Then
the dance becomes still more rapid,
so rapid, in fact, that it is difficult to
distinguish the features of the girl:
the moment is critical; the least false
step, the least irregularity in time,
and the eggs dash against each 9th
er. But how can the dance be
stopped? There is but one way
that is to remove the eggs in the way
in which they have been put in place.
This operation is by far the more
delicate of the two. 1t is necessary
that the dancer, by single motion,
exact and unerring, should take hold
of the egg, and remove it from the
moose. A single false motion of the
hand, the least interference with one
of the threads, and the general ar
rangement is suddenly broken, and
the whole performance disastrously
ended.
/ At last all the eggs are successful
Iy'I .Oved; the dancer suddenly
stops, and, without seeming in the
laast .dizzied by this dance of twenty
five or thirty minutes, she advances
to the spectators with firm step
and presents them the eggs, which
are Immediately broken in fiat dish
to prove that there is no trick about
the performance.

Lamps without Oil.

1t will be an odd thing if we some
day fill our lamps with iron filings
instead of oil, and dispense with
wicks. Yet an experlmentalist in
Berlin has shown that brilliant,
lasting light may be obtained by
burning iron. He took straight
bar magnet of some power, and
sprinkled iron filings on one of its
poles. Applying to this the fame of
burning gas or spirit it took fire, had
continued to burn for some time as
freely as any ordinary cOmbustible
materials do. The filings arrange
themselves in accordance with mag
netic force, and, however closely they
may appear to be placed, of course
no two of the metallic filings are par
allel, and consequently certain
amount of air is confined as in a met
allie sponge.
