A CURIOUS WAY OF CoURTISG.-The two
thousand Choctaws still living in their ances-
tral homes 10 Mississippi retain in their pris
tine vigOr many of the usages of their ances-
tors. Among these are the methods en-
ployed In conducting courtsihp and mar
rage ceremony. When a young ChOctaw,
of Kemper or Neshoba county, sees maid
en- who pleases his fancy, ne watches his op-
portunity until he finds her alone. He then
approaches within a few yards Of her and
gently casts pebble toward her, so that II
may fall at her feet. He may have n 10
this two OF three times before he attracts the
maiden's attention. II this pebble throwing
is agreeable, she soon makes it manifest: If
otherwise, a scornful look and a decided
'ekwah" indicate that his suit is In vain
When a marriage is sageed upon the lovers
appoint time and place for the ceremony.
On the marriage day he friends and rela-
tives Of the respective couple meet at their
respective houses or village and then march
toward each other. When they arrive near
the marriage ground-generally an interme-
diate space between tie two villages-halt
within about a hundred yards of each other.
The brothers of the woman then 20 across
to the opposite party and bring forward the
man and set him down on a blanket spread
upon the marriage ground. The mans sis
ters then do likewise by going over and
bringing forward the woman and seating her
by the side of the man. Sometimes, to fur
nish little merriment for the occasion, the
woman is expected to break loose and run.
of course she is pursued. captured and
brought back.
All parties assemble around the expectant
couple. bag of bread is brought forward
by the woman's relatives and deposited near
ber. In like manner the mans relatives
bring forward a bag of meat and deposit it
near him, The mans friends and relatives
now begin to throw presents upon the head
and shoulders of the woman. These pres
ents are Of any kind that the donors choose
to give, as articles of clothing money, trim
kets, ribbons, etc. AS soon as thrown they
are quickly snatched of by the wOman's rel
atives and distributed among Themselves
During all this time the couple sit very quist-
ly and demurely, not a word spoken BY eth
er. When all the presents have been thrown
and distributed the couple, now man and
wife, arise, the provisions from the bags are
spread and, just as in civilized life, the cere-
mOny Is rounded of with a festival The

gallant groom conducts his bride 20 his home.

WHAT SHALL WE Do WITH MOTHER p
An exchange asks this question, and we
hasten to answer it. If she is old and worn
ont, and you haven't brother living on an
unhealthy farm, you could chloroform her,
but then, she might come to some time and
make you trouble. II it was in the good old
times you conld sell her at auction 20 the
highest bidder. If you have no obscure rel
atives you eau shove her off on. and she has
been so imprudent and reckless as to run
through with all her means in order to bene-
fit her children, there is nothing left but the
old ladies' refuge or the poor house. But
there is oue drawback to the latter; people
have a contemplate way of talking about
affairs that do not concern them, and if you
are only comfortably well off and have
mother in the poor house, they will nsinuate
that you have no feeling aud make unpIeas-
ant remarks. But if you are worth SIS, 900
it is all right; go ahead. What is mother
worth to you after you are brought up and
can so alone anywhere Old people are only
in the way. To be sure there are some ridi-
culous people who will talk. Where are
their mothers? Cooking doCghnuts in the
basement kitchen or minding the baby in
the third story back attic Its money in
their pockets to utilize her in this way.
What shall we do with mother? You can't
bury her alivei Public prejudice would be
against you. 1t is a problem, come to think
of it. A WORKOUT superannuated mother
A useless, toiIing complaining mother ! A
weary. querulOus tottering, old-fashioned
mother Hum We know what we would
do with her were she ours. She would have
the best room in the house-if there were
only one room she should have that-the
softest bed, the easiest chair. She should
have shelter, food, warmth and love She
should have respect, tenderness, patience
that would in some faint measure try to re-
pay her boundess devotion to a crying, red
nosed, il-tempered brat Of years agO-a de-
votion that lasted through all the wayward
wears of dsagreeable, pTesumptDous youth.
Every furrow in the dear Old face should be
sacred to memory. Every cracked and
wheeZy tone of her dear old voice should
have the ring of music in It. and il ever our
ugly carna nature got the upper hand of us
we would look into her faded face and think
how short the time, even at its very longest,
when we could no more ask for forgiveness,
or hear it from lips that would then be silent
forever. Go to ! You may be old yourself
some cay and nobody will want to have you
around. OF all pensioners in the world
mothers deserve the highest premium.-De-

SPRING CoEUNDRUSdS-Why,i in the spring
of the year, do picnics become epidemic, aud
young and old, rich and poor, rush of into
the woods to eat Hheir lunch under the
trees, and De fed on by ticks and mosuui-
toes 4? 1t is simply because for tens OF thou
sands of years man was in nomadic condi-
tion. He wandered about with his family IN
the woods, living on berries and being annoy
ed by insects. and though man has become
civilized, and lives in house, y ct, neverthe-
less, abOut once a year an irresistible desire
to return to his old vagabond life comes over
him, and be just has to go on picnic. after
he cools down for the rest of the year, and
puts sweetoil on the tick bites
just so it is with women gardening. Until
quite recently woman had to do all the hard
work in the field. She had TO dig up the
ground, plant the crop, and gather It until 4
became second nature to her. Her husband
was kind enough to encourage her to keep
on by shaking big stick at her when she
wanted to sit down and rest. but il was be
low hrs dignity to work. Such was the con
dition OF woman from the beginning OF time.
It will be remembered that Adam was TOO
lazy to gather in the apples, so Eve lad to
do it for him. Of course all this is changed
now. All that most women do IN the vay
Of hard work is to dress up and 20 to par
ties, but every spring she cannot resist the
impulse TO put on her worst clothes and
drudge with hoe in the front yard, as she
used to do thousands OF years ago.
