A MOHAMMEpAN WEDDING.
Bsme of the PecuIiarities of the Moslem
Marriage system.


Marriage SYSTEM
An English marriage in high life"
without either bride, bridesmaids or other
palpitating ladies on view, would smack
strongly of Hamlet with the character
role omitted. What, too, could the as
yembled gentlemen do, deprived, as they
would be, of those pleasant feminine
criticisms of the guests and dresses
which obtain on such occasions? There
are some masculine cynics who consider
weddings rather melancholy affairs, even
under the best circums tances, but they
would be infinitely more so without the
presence OF lovely woman. That is,
from the European standpoint. Moham-
medans of good position take precisely
the opposite view. The Calcutta native
papers lately gave long and graphic
account of the marriages of two young
men, the sons of a local magnate.
Matches. Examinations, flags, furniture
and decorations are described in the
most minute details. But no mention is
made of the brides, nor does a single
feminine name appear in the lengthy
list of guests who attended. Fifteen
hundred turned up, including mahara-
Iahs, nawabs, mirzahs and syuds galore,
and the affair went off beautifully in
every way. But poor Nourmahal did
not even get peep at it, unless surrep-
titiously through some chink in the
Zenana. 1t is further stated that all the
guests made point of Offering felicita-
tons to the bridegrooms, but no good
wishes did they bring for the brides
Yet, odd to say, all seem to have en-
iOyed themselves greatly, or the festivi-
ties would not have been prolonged un-
til far into the night. Unless, therefore,
we assume that Asiatic human nature is
altogether different from European,
some advantage might possibly accrue
to English society from experimenting
with the Moslem marriage system.-Lon-
ion Globe.

NATURALIZATION LAWS.
What Foreigners Must Do to Become

What Foreigners Must Do to Become
Citizens of the United States.
Naturalization is Federal right and
is the gift of the Union, not of any one
State The right to vote comes from the
State and is State gift. The natural
ization laws apply to the whole Union
alike and provide that no alien may be
naturalized until after five years resi-
dence. Even after five years residence
and due naturalization the alien is not
allowed to vote unless the laws of the
State confer the privilege upon him.
In Minnesota he can vote four months
after landing if he has Immediately de-
clared his intention under the United
States laws to become citizen. The
conditions under and the manner in
which an alien may be admitted to be-
come citizen of the United States are
as follows: The alien must declare
upon oath before a Circuit or District
Court of the United States or a District
or Supreme Court of the Territories or
a court of record of any of the
States having common jurisdiction
and a seal and clerk two years at
least prior to his admission. that is,
bona fide, his intention to become a
citizen of the United States and to
renounce forever all allegiance and
fidelity to any foreign prince or State,
and particularly to the one of which he
may be at the time citizen or subject.
If the alien has borne any hereditary
title or order of nobility he must re-
nounce the same at the time of his APP

ty-one years and upward, who has been
in the armies of the United States and
has been honorably discharged there
from, may become citizen on his petit
ton, without any previous declaration
of intention, provided that he has re-
sided in the United States at least one
year previous to his application and is
of good moral character. (Residence OF
one year in a particular State is mot
requisite.) In regard to minors, any
alien under the age q twenty-one years
who has resided in Ahe United States
three years next preceding his arriving
at that age. and who has continued to
reside therein to the time OF his appli-
cation may, after he arrives at the age
of twenty-one years, and after he has
resided five years within the United
States, including the three years of his
minority. be admitted as a citizen, but
he must make declaration on oath and
prove to the satisfaction of the court
that for two years next preceding it has
been his bona fide intention to become
citizen. The children of persons that
have been duly naturaliled, being under
the age of twenty-one years at the time
of the naturalization of their parents,

IMPROMPTU MUSIC.
Some of the Reasons Which Lead All Sorts
of People to Sing or Whistle.

Some of the Reasons Which Lead All Sorts
of People to Sing Whistle.
People sing for different reasons. In
SRme the desire is too strong to be re-
sisted, while in others it becomes mat
ter of business. Patti sings for untold
thousands a season; the hapless father
sings to quiet troublesome baby, and
the honest man sings because his soul
is full of gladness.

RELIGIOUS AND EDUCATIONAL.

The American Bible Society reports
that Bible distribution was so per cent.
larger last year in South America than
during any preceding year.
The Baptist year book, just issued,
shows that the number of Baptists In
the United States is 3,o7O,047. During
1889, IA, SIS new members were bap-
tized.
One hundred and eighty-fve new
societies of Christian Endeavor were re-
Gently formed in one week. Of these a
were Presby terian, % Methodist, &c
Baptist, Is Congregational, and Chris
tian.
This year the centennial OF Method
ism in Canada is to be celebrated by the
publication of a memorial volume,
composed of papers contributed by vari-
Gus writer's, also by special collection
for stated objects.
"A Brahmin is said to have written
to a missionary: "We are finding you
out. You are not as good as your Book.
If your people were only as good as your
Book, you would conquer India for
Christ in five years"
While the Dakota Indians were saw
ages it cost the Government 81, S4S, 900
to take care of them seven years. The
cost after their conversion for the same
length of time was $3.50, 600, a difference

cate.
In 1904 there were thirty-fve, trans
lations of the Scriptures in existence.
Since the formation of the British and
Foreign Bible Society in that year, ten
millions of money have been expended
in the work of circulating the Bible,
and there are now, counting dialects as
well as languages, nearly three hundred
translations of tho Scriptures.
The revision of Luther's translation
of the Bible, which for twenty-five
years has occupied the time and receiv-
ed the labor of eminent German scholars,
is about completed. The first official
edition will be printed in Halle. 1t is
doubtful whether the new version will
become popular. unless the authorities
intervene and give it official sanction.
H Grattan Guinness, of London,
who recently returned from ten years of
missionary work on the Congo and in
the interior of Africa, spoke of the work
the missions are performing there. He
compared the Negroes of Africa with
those in this country, and said that
those along the Congo were far more in
telligent and independent than those of
the United States.
In recent address to a visiting dele
cation of the American Association for
the Education of the Colored Youth,
President Harrison said: Il have firm
belief that the rock of our safety as
nation lies in the proper education OF
our population; that it is impossible for
a man to discharge his duties as citi-
zen without the knowledge that is to be
derived from the common schools"
Mr.. Moody says he does not find as
much intidelity now in month, in ques-
tons which are asked by young men af-
ter a meeting, as he used to find five
years ago in one day. Then the young
men were full of Ingersollism, and
thought that Christianity was worn out;
but they have found that there is moth
ing in infidelity; it tears down, but does
not build up. it does not give any thing.
