Rocky Mountain husbandman. [volume] (Diamond City, Mont.) 1875-1943, 1877-04-12

The Herald of Saturday last contains an
interesting article on cooperation. 1t says,
in referring to English societies: "The in
dividual is not merged into the community,
but the divine institution of family and those
sacred shelters called home, are fully pre-
served. Individual talent and energy are
allowed their fullest range for development,
but instead of the poor mechanic being left
to the mercy of the rapaciolls middleman,
to be robbed of half his earnings and kept
in life long service to subtle and greedy cred
itors, wide combinations are formed and the
small contributions of many hands furnish
sufficient capital to start a store for mutual
benefit, where each stakeholder receives at
cost what lie needs. There is no credit sys-
tenn. No poor debts enter into the charges
made to purchasers. Each receives the full
value of his money, and when any article
goes out the money is in hand to replace it.
A large business is thus done IN a small cap
ital, and the people learn the full value of
habits of frugality, and feel the full pleasure
of that independence which comes from
paying as you CO."

A Peculiar Marriage Ceremony.

On the wedding day in Borneo the
bride andbridegroom are brought from
opposite ends of the village to the spot
where the ceremony is to be perform
ed. They are made to sit on two bars
of iron, that blessings as lasting and
health as vigorous may attend the pair.
A cigar and betel leaf, prepared with
the areca nut, are next put in the
hands of the bride and bridegroom.
One of the priests then waves two fowls
over the heads of the couple, and, in
long address to the Supreme Being,
calls down blessings upon the pair.
and implores that peace and happiness
may attend the union. After the heads
of the affianced have been knocked
against each other three or four times
the bridegroom puts the prepared betel
leaf and cigar into the mouth of the
bride, while she does the same to him
whom she thus acknowledges as her
husband.
