The Hickman courier. [volume] (Hickman, Ky.) 1859-current, 1881-07-15

Recent events have given an interest
in these people, who dwell IN an almost
unknown country. The dwellings, of the
Kroumir chiefs are somewhat superior
to the other inhabitants, but even the
chiefs share their homes with the mules,
the cows and the goats The dwelling
consists of but one room, divided INTO
two unequal compartments by roughly
made partition about a metre high. On
one side of this wall the family live; on
the other the cattle. At the entrance to
each village or group of mud nuts there
is sort of public building called the
''Diemaa," or meeting place, and 1t is
here that the people assemble at inter
walls to discuss matters OF general inter
est, the men wearing loosely ittlng
woolen or cotton shirt, and over IL one
or two burnous, according to the season.
Their head-gear is kind OF skull-c cap,
knitted or of red felt. The arms, legs
and the neck are left bare, but the feet
are protected by piece OF leather at
tached TO the foot by number OF inter-
twining strings. The dress of the young
women is described as extremely grace
full. A large piece of woolen stuff, folded
in two. is attached to the shoulder with
a metal brooch. and reaches Just below
the knees. A bnght-hued girdle enclr-
cles the waist, and their toilette is com,
pleted by gaudy handkerchief wound
round the head. With regard to morals
the laws are strict. No man IS allowed
to have more than one wife, or to live
with women unless the union has been
sanctioned by marriage ceremonies;
Women, however, are bought and sold
like cattle, and a widow can be appropri,
ated by male relative OF her deceased
husband without any payment Deing
exacted for her The usual diet of the
tribe consists of skous-kousson, " nat
ional dish, milk in abundance, and fruit;
the aged alone eat wheat or meat The

Died that He Might Live.

In dreadful cold winter, many years
ago, an army was flying from Moscow, a
city in Russia. With this army there
was German Prince and some German
soldiers. One by one the marching sol
diers fell down by the way, and perished
of cold and hunger. AT length, at the
end of one day, when only mere hand
full of them were alive, the Prince and
few common soldiers, and these were
nearly all spent, came up to the remains
of a hovel, once built to shelter cattle,
now ruined by storms, which had blown
it all to pieces. But, in the wild, snow
covered waste, they did not despise it
even Prince was glad of the little shell
ter from the sleet and wind of the COM
ing night which this tumble-down shed
could afford. And there, hungry, cold
and weary, he and his men lay down to
sleep. The men were rough, stern-look-
ing fellows, yet the sight of one SO deli
cately brought up, used to comforts
which they never had known, spent
heart and body, come to such want, glad
to sleep in such a wretched place,
touched them. The sight of him asleep,
no bed, no covering, probably sleeping
his last sleep, was more than they could
stand. They took their own cloaks of
and laid them all on him gently, one by
one, lest they should awake him. He
would be warm with these. Then they
threw themselves down to sleep.
The night passed. The Prince awoke.
"Where am 1 ?" was his first thought.
"Am at home in bed? am so warm -
and he turned over, and raised himself
up to look about. He was not at home.
All around was snow, and all was silent
save the wind which whistled through
the planks and the broken shed. Where
were his men He stood up and looked,
when 10 there they lay, huddled to-
gether to keep warm /; yet not awake.
He spoke, but they answered not. He
advanced to touch them - they were
dead Without their cloaks, too Where
were their cloaks Another glance to-
ward where he had lain, and all was
plain. The Prince burst into tears.
His men were dead to save him alive.
Now, was not The deed, these rough SOL
diers' deed, a noble deed Their hearts
were gracious hearts they graciously
took upon themselves the death another
should have died.-iSUndoy Magazine.
