A Buddhist Marriage.

A missionary describes marriage cere-
mony which he witnessed in the palace
of the Governor of Carbodia, as follows:
~ was ushered, amid tremendous din
of gongs, into large room beyond the re-
ception hall, where were seated the Gov
ernor and about hundred noblemen and
invited guests. The bridegroom, a young
man about twenty years of age, elegantly
attired in silk garments, was also there.
"By the time we foreigners were seated,
a procession-headed by the bride, sup.
ported on either side by demure- looking
matrcns, composed principally of aged or
married women, all elegantly attired-
entered and slowly marched toward the
Governor.
The bride was not particularly inter-
esting as regards personal charms; sne
was young, however, and dressed
richly and in good taste. Besides her
silk dress she wore gold-embroidered
scarf upon her shoulders; also gold rings
upon her fingers, bracelets upon her
wrists and armlets above the elbows.
The bride took up her position near the
bridegroom, both sitting upon the floor,
but not looking toward each other; in
fact, throughout the entire ceremony they
both were perfectly impassive and non
chalant.
The marriage ceremony proper now be-
qan. A number of wax candles were
brought in salver, and then lightes by
one of the mobiles. The silver waiter
was then passed round before the COM
pany eight times, each one in turn salut-
ing the couple and wishing them good
fortune by waving or blowing the smoke
toward them, thus expressing something
like the old English custom of throwing
the slipper after a newly married couple
tho band of string instruments playing
the meanwhile. Two large velvet cush-
ions having been previously placed before
the bride and bridegroom, and upon them
a large sword, the leader of the thcatricals
now came forward and went through, for
a few moments, most fantastical sword
exercise. Dishes had been placed before
the couple upon the floor, with covers
upon them. Nothing, however, was
eaten.
Next the hands of the expectant cou-
pie were bound together, and to each
other, with silken threads, by the women
attendants, probably some near relatives.
Thus were they truly joined in Buddhist
wcdlock. And this completed the SIM
pie, vet effective ceremony.

Kangaroo Skins.

When brought to bay, the kangaroo
jumps like flash for hunters chest,
and tries to crush it in with his fore feet.
To prevent this, each man wears across
his breast a two or three inch thick mat
ting. Armed with a spear, with club
attachment at the other end, they ride
upon swift horses into the herd. With
the agility and equiposc of circus riders,
they stand erect upon their horses, and
use their spears and clubs. The kanga-
roo is able to jump clear over horse:
AS the game is bagged it is skinned, and
the skin is stretched on the ground and
pegged down to prevent shrinkage. The
flesh furnishes meat for the camp. Each
man places his private park upon his
booty, and when they have one hundred
skins apiece, they return back to civiliza-
ton. There are twenty varieties of kan
saroos, among them the blue, red Walla-
by, black gray and forester, the latter
furnishing the best leather, as it lives
mainly in wooded sections.-Natatre.

A New Wild Horse.

The great Russian traveller, PreZeVGl-
sky, has discovered new wild horse,
more nearly allied to the domestic horse
than any previously known species.
Prezevalsky, on his return from Central
Asia, brought with him one of these new
species. The horse is described as hav
ing warts on his hind legs as we'll as on
its fore legs, and has hard hoofs like the
true horse. But the long hairs of the
tail, instead of commencing at the base,
do not begin until about half way down
the tail, says an exchange.
In this respect the animal is interme-
diate between the horse and the ass. 1t
is also different from the typical horse in
having short, erect name, and having
no forelock. It has no dorsal stripe,
which, though by no means universal, is
often found in the typical horse, and is
almost always present in the ass. Its
whole general color is of whitish gray,
paler and whittier beneath and reddish Oh
the head. The legs are reddish to the
knees, and then blackish down to the
hoofs. 1t is of small stature, but the
legs are very thick and strong, and the
head is large and heavy. -
The ears are smaller than those Of the
ass. This horse was found on the great
Dsungarian desert, between the Alfal and
Tianschan Mountains, where 1t is called
by the Tartars kertag, and by the Mon
gols stafur. It IS met in troops of from
five to fifteen individuals, led by the old
stallion. They are very shy, with highly
developed. organs OF sight and smell.
PrezevaIsky's specimen was overtaken
and shot in the winter, when water was
plentiful from melted snow. But for this
it could not have been followed at all, as
it freouents the waterless districts.
During the whcle time of his stay IN
the Dsungarian desert Prezevalsky met
with only two herds of this will horse.
He and his companions fired into herd
but missed, and with uplifted head and
outstretched tail the stallion led the way
with the speed of the Winds Tne Sec
ond herd met with was surprised. twas
approached from one sitteof TIC hill, and
when within $50 yards a.shot was fired,
which broke the leg of mare, and it
was captured. This specimen is now in
the museum of the Academy OF Science
at St. Petersburg, and is the only one OF
this species in Europe.

Kis.ku.dah's Lifelong Grief.

Kis-ku-dah is an Indian now serving a
life sentence in the penitentiary. He is
almost literally alone in the world, for,
though there are other Indians in prison,
they are not of the same tribe and speak
a different language. But ono link binds
him to the world, and that is cowboy
who speaks the same tongue, but who
has only few months to stay. Kis-ku-
dah is sick in the hospital, where he
grieves and mourns day in and day out.
For hours he will kneel with his blanket
about his head and never move. When
the night nurses take their places Kis-ku-
dah's face brightens up, for then his cow
boy friend, who is night nurse, comes
to him, and they have a friendly talk.
This "untutored" sons pines for liberty;
his only thought is of his native plains
and hills, and how sweet would be his
revenge for depriving him of that liberty.

THE MILLER AND HIS MILL


Once Jolly miller had mill, mill, mill,
Every one was pleased to fill his till, till, till,
The grain went in the hopper,
The stone went whirling round,
And chorus from the miller
IyoNa through the mill resound:
He 'ohe, and heigh-hc-aeigh,
There arc plenty others for to grind,
With the water that goes by.
The miller did not murmur and sigh, sigh,
sign,
Because a little water went by, by, by,
Gut heaping up the hopper
High with the yellow grain,
His soul went out in music,
In this glad refrain:
lie % he, and heigh-ho-aeigh,
There are plenty others for to grind,
With the water that goes by.
A lesson from the miller and his mill mill,
mill,
II fortune has been heaping in your till, till,
till,
If you do have q fortune,
To greet yoa at your birth,
When old enough to know it
Don't scramble for the earth.
He o he, and a heigh-ho- heigh,
There are plenty Others for to grind
With the water that goes by.

A Rare Leather Exhibit.

A small purse made of frog skin, with
gold clasps, another of elephant hide, al
so heavily ornamented with gold clasps,
a dainty card case OF white cream moroc-
co, with tilagree ornaments of gold,
studded with diamonds, are among the
articles on exhibition at jewelry store
on Union Square. The exhibit com
prises some of the rarest feathers and
hides that it is possible to collect-the
value of which it it is impossible to esti-
mate on market basis.
The skins in the rough form a collec-
ton which it has taken twelve years to
put in its present form. They arc in
tended for jewclry and silverware cases,
travelling bags, pocketbooks, dressing
cases and all sorts Of fancy articles IN
which leather is used. There is boa
constructors skin twenty feet long, rare
assortment of chameleon skins and the
skins OF the eel, cassowary and unborn

buffalo, panther, skunk, luwack, ant
eater, wolf, peccary, nilgau, waterbok,
gnu, hartebeest, lion, koodoo, zebra,
tapir and other rare and curious animals.
These formed part of an exhibit at
the Paris Exposition. They are now be-
ing made up to suit the tastes of those
who can afford to pay for them, pock-
et-book costing, for instance, from Sl2
to $3.50. The exhibit is attracting a
good deal of interest on the part of deal
ers in leather. The articles are purchased
mostly for presents to persons in Europe.

quiet person is apt to live longest is per-
haps a question. Some people are so
solemn that they have not life enough to
die, and keep on earth to curse evg5-
body they are acquainted witb~It is
not the length of time one liyes, but the
good he does. Some men Gould live a
hundred years and be OF no benefit.
Others could in twenty years accomplish
wonders by their energy and the proper
use of their abilities.
';One man may know no fear, while
another may be frightened at his own
shadow. 1t is mental affair. The man
with a good healthy stomach is apt to
have more courage than the man with
dyspepsia. Every healthy man ought to
love woman if he can find one worthy

FROM BEYOND THE SEA.

Think not because the changing floods divide
Ny face from thine, that memory grows
cold.

Or, while we journey, keeps not by our side'
Each thing we suffer, he it Joy or pain,
Leaves US it's image in lasting mould:
It may have passed unmarked-it shall re-
main
Long as our very selves together hold.
So, though we seem, to the light outward
gaze,
Only to be enduring life's command,
Only to squander harnessed heart and hand
In a dull dynasty of useful days
Fen then our soul turns in the lull of strife
To look upon some secret inward seal
Stamped long ago, an earnest to reveal
The thin fair landscape Of an idler life.
I cannot count these images in me,
For Time hath not yet bid me know them
all;
Yet from their ranks how fair one OF thee
Comes like blessing, when on thee call!
And when perchance long days shall cast
pail
Over my graver self, rll cross the sea
Upon the golden wings Of gayer thought,
Setting the prose Of day by day at naught
And in thy vision once again be free.

Chinese and japanese.

One of the largest silk importers in
China, says the Chicago Tribune, claims
that the Chinese are much superior race
to the japanese.
"I've lived in China for twenty years, "
said he, land have had plenty of time 70
study the land and people. The stories
YOU hear about the Oriental countries are
written by people who remain a short
time and never take the trouble to SUBJ
stantiate any weird story OF rumor, and
it is to be expected that their writings
should be unreliable. 1t is true that
Japan has railroads and many European
and American industries cannot be found
in China, but the latter country does not
want nor need these latter-day improve
ments.
1.-THE development in Japan is not due
to the japanese. These improvements
were forced upon them by the Europeans
and Americans. Railroads, mining and
irrigating schemes, manufacturing indus
tries and impracticable enterprises are
springing up like mushrooms in the land
OF the Mikado. Half of these ventures
are not needed, and just as soon as this
is discovered by the japanese there will
be big collapse. They arc jumping
into civilization by the rapid transit line,
and often that route is dangerous.
"On the other hand, the Chinese are
slowly coming to the front. They ore a
conservative people and use their think
ing faculties more in an hour than do the
japanese all day. The Chinese we'll
know that foreigners are imposing upon
the Japanese, and they are awaiting the
result. For years Englishmen have been
trying to construct railroad at ShanS-
hal. 1t would be of no value. The sur
rounding country is so lined with canals
or natural creeks that it now costs less
to bring in silks and teas than is would
be if a railway was built. the Chinese
argue that as they were civilized before
Englishmen were on earth, they can get
along now with the old methods of life,
and they want no nation to furnish them
with bright ideas"
