CURIOUS MARRIAGE CUSTOMS
Among the People of the New Britain
Group-Romantic Ceremony.

Among the People of the New Britain
Group-Romantic Ceremony.
At the meeting of the British association
at Bath, the Rev. B. banks read a paper on
Marriage Customs CT the New Britain
Group" He said that for marriage pur,
poses the people of New Britain are divided
into two classes or divisions. No man may
marry a woman of his own class. To do SO
would bring instant destruction upon the
woman, and, if not immediate death to the
man, his life would never be secured. Pre-
parations for marriage are various. On
Duke of York island, initiation into the Sc.
cret society, which is called Dukduk, seems
a sufficient preparation though not abso-
lutely necessary to marriage, for the boys
and there appears to be no needful prepare.
ton for the girls. On New Ireland some
girls wear a fringe across their shoulders
until they are marriageabla These are the
poorer class.
Others are put into cages, in which they
remain four or five years without being al
lowed to 60 outside the houses in which they
are confined. These cages are conical
structures, about or 8 feet in height and
about 10 or II feet in circumference at the
bottom and about four feet from the
ground, where they taper off to a point at
the top. They are made Of the broad leaves
of the pandanus tree, sewn quite close to-
gether, SO that no light and very little air
can enter. On one side is an opening which
is closed by double door of plated cocoa
nut tree and pendanus tree leaves About
three feet from the ground there is stage
of bamboos, which forms the floor. There is
only room for the girl to sit or lie down in
crouched position on the bamboo plat
form, and her feet are never allowed to
touch tho ground all the time she is con-
fined in the cage. Great marriage feasts are
provided for these girls when they are taken
out of the cages
Wives are purchased with shell money,
and are often married at very early age on
Duke of York island. When man ma1Ties
a second wife, after the death of tho first,
the female relatives Of the dead wife gather
together and are permitted to do as much
damage to his property as they can. A man
may have as many wives as he can pur-
chase, but il he cannot afford to buy one,
and his credit is low, he may have to remain
single. Sir John Lubbock said: SIN some
parts of Australia when man married each
of the brides relations gave him good blow
with stout stick by way of a warm well
come into the family" Among the Kal-
mucks of central Asia tho marriage cere-
mony was very romantic. The girl was put
on a horse and rode at full speed. When she
had got fair start the lover set .oR in pur,

Weaving Glass Into Cloth.

Mr.. Dubus Bonnet, of Lille, France, has
invented process Of spinning and weaving
glass into cloth. The warp is composed of
silk, forming the body and groundwork, on
which the pattern in glass appears, as effected
by the weft. The requisite feMbilfty of glass
thread for manufacturing purposes is to be
ascribed to its extreme fineness AS not less than
from fifty to sixty of the original strands are
required to form one thread Of the weft. The
process is slow, for no more than yard of
cloth can be produced in twelve hours The
work, however, is extremely beautiful and
comparatively cheap. A French paper, com
menting on the discovery, says: "When we
figure to ourselves an apartment decorated
with cloth Of glass and resplendent with
light, we must be convinced that it will
equal in brilliancy all that the imagination
can conceive and realize; in word, the
wonders of the enchanted palaces mentioned
in the Arabian tales. "-Scientific American.

and when at the end of a days hard work
some clerk or broker makes a mistake of
5000 bushels the old man detects it In q
minute and jumps on him in a way that he
doesn't soon forget. One day In the club
some one tackled the old man ON this very
point and intimated doubt as to whether
the old speculator knew where he stood on
the days trading. clutch" drew his set
ling books from his pocket and throwing
them at the doubter, said:
''Open those books and keep tab on what ]
say II l make the mistake of a buShel
either way I'll give you my profits for the

of his brokers from what he remembered of
his own orders to them. He didn't make a
single slip.
One day he was on the floor when new

The German Soldiers Eouipmept.

A new outfit is being rapidly introduced
thrCs EhoUt the whole German army. One,
indeed, Of the alterations, as it does not in
volve any new equipment, has been already
taken up by all the regiments-that is, the
strapping Of the overcoat round the KNAPP
sack instead Of over the shoulders and across
the body. This has the great advantage of
allowing the man to breathe more freely and
to open his coat if he wishes The knapsack
itself has been changed, and Is of longer
shape than before 1t consists Of two parts,
the knapsack proper and the pocket, the
former containing the soldiers linen, the lat
ter the famous 'pease sausage" and bacon
The belt Is, in the new outfit, all important,
and serves to make the whole equipment
fast. From it, on the left, hangs the hayo-
net, which has been SO shortened that it is
now merely light dagger not foot long;
while In front two pouches are attached,
each containing thirty cartridges (the non
commissioned officers have smaller pouches
holding only fifteen each).
Behind is a third pouch, which contains
forty cartridges, made up in two pasteboard
cases. These are a reserve, and Were for
merly kept in the knapsack. By this change
the soldier carries twenty cartridges more
than formerly. On the right hangs the
bread wallet, which is larger than the old
pattern. 1t has no longer belt of its own,
but hangs directly from the sword belt, thus
relieving the chest. The water flask is
hooked on the bread wallet. The pannikin
used to be fastened in the middle of the KNAPP
sack, but is now laid fiat on the top with
the forage cap, which was formerly under
the flap Of the knapsack, below it. The COM
bined result is that the soldiers chest is
almost quite free, and that the air can ciSu-
late between the knapsack and his back. He
can also, by merely undoing his belt, take
off the whole Of his accouterments. The
trenching tool is not carried on the soldiers
back, but hangs at his left side with the bay.

90 NOT THINK, FOR A MOMENT,
1T MEANS "oLD AGE"

The Body Can Be Maintained Long After
Two Score Is Reached-Julian Haw-
thorne's Bit of Timely Advioe-No Need

The refrain of Thackerays song used to
awaken solemn speculations in my soul when

middle life simply, but old age-the period
when freshness and buoyancy vanished,
when the apogee Of existence was over, and
what remained Of the terrestrial journey
went down hill / thought that certain
somber dignity and weight Of staid expert

but it did not occur to me that ones career,
beyond that point, could offer anything
better than "reminiscences and makeshifts
And my chief consolation was that "forty
year" was so intellectually far of, that, like
the deluge, one might indefinitely postpone
any serious consideration of it The dreaded
date came, however, and is now passed, to-

arel 1he ware ROOMS on Lake street which
the reporter visited contained alone about 5N
varieties, and there are hundreds more
which were not there represented. Begin
ming with the best and most high priced, the
self feeders, they are now made SO as to suit
all tastes and nearly all pocket books. When
first introduced, about thirty years ago,
they were round in shape. Then the back
part Of the stove began to swell out, SO as to
put ascending and descending hues in and
to fit them with double bottoms. In this
way the radiating surface for the heat was
increased and the heating capacity of the
stove heightened. Some five or six years
ago the square stoves of the same pattern
were introduced. They first came out In
New England. They were square in shape
and had square chamber. This style seems
to have originated so as to correspond with
the change in fashion in furniture. This
class of stove had, however, but short run.
It was followed by modification in style,
leaving the stove itself still square, or nearly
SO, but making the fire chamber again oval
or round.
Another kind of stove is the surface
burner" 1t Is not self feeding, but base
heating and surface burning stove. In New
England, where people practice economy
more scientifically dild consistently than we
people Of the west, this stove is considered
the most economical-i e., giving the great
est heat for the amount Of fuel consumed.
This style of stove is usually made with
cast iron base, square, with rounded corners,
double bottom, the upper part of sheet iron,
lower part lined with cylinder brick, making
the fire part very strong and durable, and
giving much radiating surface.
A cheaper kind Of stove Is made, known to
the trade as the cylinder stove. The bottom
and ash pot Of this stove are made of cast
iron, while the body of the stove is formed of
sheet iron in cylindrical shape. The bottom
is used for fire chamber and is brick lined.
This stove is cheaper, because there is no
diving fue and no double bottom-simpIy
direct draught. This stove, though cheaper
in COST is not so economical. 1t Is, however,
very good ventilator, and is, perhaps, ON
that account the most appropriate stove for
places where many people usually assemble,
such as depots, public halls, saloons, ETC. The
cast iron cylinder or cannon stoves are used
in the west mostly for soft coal They heat
very quickly and are durable, besides being
cheap. Then there are the wood heaters,
which are made in great variety and at every
price.-Chicago Herald.
