An EsquimauX Wedding.

SHORTLY there entered, in perfect ST.
lence, a cOrtege drawing a dOg-sled, in
which was seated the high priest of the
tribe, and a more Misunderstanding OBJ
iect never beheld. He was stripped
to the waist and smeared with oil and
coloring matter in stripes, which gave
him the appearance of Chinese Joss.
On his head was tiara of bears claws,
surmounted by an enormous polar
bears head. On his shoulders were
placed erect on end two large walrus
tusks, fancifullv decorated with strips
of red flannel, which had been obtained
from the clothing of a drowned sailor
washed ashore. The lower part of his
body was covered with other skins, over
which were spread a number of young
seals, all alive and barking. In the
right hand he held spear, which he
waved aloft in u theatrical manner,
while with his left he motioned to the
bride and groom to approach him. The
whole concourse arose, and with shouts
of gladness capered around the priests
chariot. This he submitted to for a
space of ten minutes, and then, imperi-
ously waving his spear, commanded
silence. The groom was now directed
to PROSTATE himself upon the earth on
his back and the bride directed to place
her right foot upon his throat, which
she evidently did with reluctance.
While in this position the priest in
structed the groom that such was to be
his fate. trodden under foot by men,
should he ever prove untrue to his
plighted troth. He was then permitted
to rise and directed to approach the
old chief, who placed spear at his
breast, telling him it would be his doom
should he prove untrue. He was next
directed to his father, who, producing
fishing line, informed him that he
would choke to death his offspring
should he prove unfaithful. Then, to
cap the climax, he was directed to face
the entire tribe, who, brandishing their
spears, yelled at the top of their voices
vengeance on him in the event of UNI
faithfulness. AT this juncture the
groom, apparently overcome with emo
ton, dropped on the ground, and, bow
ing his head to the earth, cried: 81 will
be true until raised to his feet by the
bride.-San Francisco Mail.

The MarYels Of French Cooking.

And so French cooking, like French
dress, is gradually mastering civiliza-
ton. 1t is great boon for the poor.
The French peasant or mechanic makes
little go very far because he knows
how to prepare it; but the English
brother can boast no such capacity or
comfort. Bad food, poor lodgings,
fiery drinks and frequent strikes make
the British workingman too often dis
contented or dissipated man. 1t is q
wholesome contrast to note how cheap
wines, wholesome soup, sweet bread
and plenty of vegetables produce cheer
fulness and contentment among the
French. The rule gets stronger as you
ascend the social scale. A good deal
of reckless eXtortion is practiced by the
hotel keepers on the preteXt of the EX-
hibition, and some of them are almost
criminal in their swindling charges.
But here, as elsewhere, you must live
to learn as well as learn to live. You
must find out for yourself how to get
fair play. Some of my American
friends live nice at ten francs a day for
bed and board, and others for less, but
those who want to spend money can
find many preteXts for their eXtrava-
gance. told one Of the Paris gallinip-
pers, as | call these extortionate hotel
sharks, that could live as well at the
Colonnade Hotel, in Philadelphia, at
fifteen dollars week as could at the
Grand Hotel, in Paris, for ten dollars a
day, and he seemed a good deal better
for the lesson.-J. W. Forney, in PhiLa-
delphiG Press.
