Zulu Marriages..

Springfield Republican; The more
refined sentiment of love ia unknown
among these wild people. The period
of wooing is brief. A young girl may
have taken a liking to some warrior.
Unknown to her family, or, If known,
unrestrained, she will leave her fathers
house, and at dusk will station herself
before the hut of her favored one. She
will remain perfectly silent, neither
asking nor answering questions. II
her attentions are favored she will be
asked into the hut and stay with the
man q week or more. Then he returns
with her to the fathers home, taking
a few cattle along. These are present
ed and invariably accepted, a sign
that the parents are willing to enter
into negotiations. The price is fixed
and the couple return, and thenceforth
are regarded as man and wife. If, on
the other hand, a young warrior takes
a liking to a girl, he will induce her to
follow him, and. like any common
buyer Of cattle, inquire into her good
qualities. Or he will lead to her
fathers home some cattle. If these
are accepted the bargain is further dis
cussed and finally closed. Eight or
ten head Of cattle is the average price
for a girl. Up to this time the girl
has gone almost perfectly naked, u
sign of her virginity. Now, however,
q narrow grass covering hangs down
from her waist.

About Short Dresses.

New York Telegram: Our esteemed
contemporary the Sun contains a para
graph about our new consul at Hong
Kong, ex-senator Withers, of Virginia,
and his daughter. Tho intimstion in
regard to the young lady is amusing
and suggests that her dresses are too
short At the naval ball the old Eng
lish governor of the colony said that
she should wear her gowns a little
longer when she came to the govern
ment house, to which the young lady
replied that when she wanted his ad-
vice about dress she would ask him for
it. 1t occurs to us, as to most other
observant people that short dresses
are too much in vogue among the
young ladies OF the present time. We
agree with the English governor that
most Of the misses wei up in their
teens in this city should not wear
frocks only q little longer than those
of the ballet giils. 1t is a noticeable
fact that one is often misled by the
brevity Of q damsel's skirts into the
belief that she possesses n juvenility
which her face positively denies. What
will not some girls do to make the
world believe that they are younger
than they really areP

Should Stage Kissing be Real.

Philadelphia News: Here Is a simple
question in sentiment: Can actors or
actresses kiss each other in mimic love
without danger of heart hurtp We
used to be told that stage kissing was
counterfeit, and perhaps most of it
was and still is, but there has lately
grown into usage, at least here in
New York, a palpably genuine kind of
OSCILLATION in comic opera and bur.
lesque. 1t began in "Nanon," where
the pretty Sadie Martinez smacked the
handsome William Il. Carleton in all
actuality and feryor right on the lips
four times per evening. 1t was done
10 close to the footlights and SO DELHI
erately that no oom was left for
doubt. The story was told that he
disliked it and they quarreled, but she
deemed the thing essential to the pros
perity of her role and got the manage
ment to sustain her in it, though she
hated the man she kissed.
Carleton is now travelling. and
Clara Wisdom, who had been in the
chorus here. kisses him quito as
heartily as Miss Martinot did in the
same character. There is adeal of cooling
and kissing between Nanki Poo and
Yum-Yum in The Mikado. Behind the
scenes of the two theatres in which the
opera has been running l was amused
to find persons deeply and unconceal-
eddy interested in those particular
episodes OF the piece. In one instance
it vas Jefferson Bernstein, the new
husband of Verona Jarbesu, who eye
witnessed every hug and salutation
which his welded Yum-Yum received
from her Nanki-Poo. In tho other
case, the admired of maidens. Conrtice
Pounds, vas the stage lover. and his
Japanese bride was tho fair Geraldine
Ulmer. There kisses were on cheeks
and chins, neve bringing their mouths
together.
"They do it in excellent taste" /
with admirable discretion" as
sented a member of the company.
''Do you see the smallish, pretty wo.
in the chorus yonder in greenP
Sho is not requisite on the stage just
now, and her companions of the chorus
are in the green room. She is smiling
ly watching the love passage between
and Yum Yum. 1t never
to weary her, though she has
seen it over a hundred times. She is
the wife of Mr.. Pounds"

The Depression Of Prioss in Great
Britain.

Economist: A comparison of the
prices of commodities now and the be-
ginning of the year shows that in most
instances a lower level has been
reached. OF thirty-tive leading arti.
Giles, twenty-four are cheaper than they
were twelve months ago, and only
eight have advanced in prices. In the
articles classed under the head miner
ais. the fall, as compared with the
close of 1884, is almost unbrOkon, the
only exceptions being steel rails, which
tho combination OF makers have kept
at the same price, ard lead, which is
It's. Cd. per ton higher. Among the
raw materials for textile manufac-
lures silk ard flax have reached higher
prices. but cotton has fallen TO a phe-
~nomenally low point, and wool, hemp
and jute are chuaper. Most of food
products also stand at lower quota.

wheat, potatoes and rice. And a like

A Man With q Funny claim,

Washington Letter in Baltimore
American: The civil service commits
sion have a cabinet. which they call
their cabinet of 1t is filed
with printed replies to all possible
questions. They are in receipt daily
of hundreds Of letters Of inquiry. and
experience has taught them q code Of
answers, and they are thus prepared
with a printed answer for almost every
conceivable question. Judge Edger-
ton, president of tho commission, said
that 10 answer all the inquiries in
writing would keep a large force of
clerks busy night and day, Now all
they have to do is to 60 to the ''cabi-
net of answers and pull out tho ap-
propriate answer and mail it. Judge
Edgert9n also tells a funny story in
connection with letters to Congress
men. When he was in Congress, and
chairman of the committee on claims.
no received a letter from u man out
west making a claim because he was
born seven years too late. He based
his claim on tho fact that his father
had gone to the Mexicsn war before he
was married, and after seven years
service no came home and married.
The heir claimed that he lost seven
years of life on this account and want
ed 80 900 per year for the seven years
his father fought for the United States.
The claim was not allowed.

ton and general observations by
Krauts on the subject.
II am an advocate of capital pun
ishment," says the exocutioner, mot

rorizlng effect upon criminals. They
are all contrite as the dreadful hour
approaches. Many hope for pardon

block" He contradicts the statement
that Lieske, the Socialist, remained
cool to the end. "Lieske's last night
was a very restless one." said Krauts;
''he not being able to close his eyes I'M
til near morning. His firmncss on 60
ing to the block required all his energy
to maintain"
The rule governing executionsi is t tina:
the effects of the executed shall 90 to
the executioner. Krauts does not
avail himself of this privilege, pre-
ferring to bury these with the body.
Immediately after every execution, he
says, he is besieged by hysterical we.
men and superstitious persons for some
article or memento of the dead, the
opinion of these i'll balanced people be-
ing that such articles possess remedial
qualities against falling fits and other
stubborn diseases; but he does not re-
spond to these requests. He conducts
his official duty in full dress, heaud his
assistant appearing in fine black broad
cloth suits.
The compensation he receives is $50,
the net earning for seven years
amounting to but $1,000. The year
1886, however, promises to he u more
lucrative one, rs a number of murder
ers have already been sentenced to
death in Germany.
1t is needless to add that the country
people, and. in fact, most every body
else in Germany, generally run in the
other direction at sight of the public
executioner, while the most terrified
instantly begin crossing themselves.
