Curious Customs.

Although among the Bedouins wife
is considered a slave, SingleneSs is looked
upon as a disgrace.
Persian women have little education,
and are reared in seclusion and ignor-
anee, knowing nothing beyond the walls
of their house.
Hindu women are forbidden to read or
write. Indeed, those who dare to indulge
in such luXuries are often accidentally,
missing.
Jewish women of the higher classes
were secluded from public life, and
passed their time with the distaff and
spindle. AT marriage the ceremonies
lasted seven days.
In China wife is never seen by her
future master. Some relative bargains
for the girl and the stipulated price is
paid, and she is afterward submissive
slave.
The women of ancient Rome were
treated with greatest respect. Still. they
were not allowed to inherit property. and
could be divorced by their husbands for
counterfeiting their keys and for wine
drinking.
In Turkey woman is held in the most
rigid Seclusion. She must always ap-
pear yelled. With pigs and dogs she is
Iofbldden TO enter mosque, and the
Koran declares woman who is unmar-
RED to be in state of reprobation.
Siberian women are raised as abject
slaves. untidy in dress, and are bought
with money or cattle. The most capri
clous whim of her husband is law, and
should the latter desire divorce he has
only to tear the cap from her head.
Among the Congo negroes when man
wishes wife he secures one and keeps
her on probation year. IT her temper
and department are satisfactory, he at the
end of the yearIformally marries her. But
should she prove an incumbrance he
sends her back to the parental roof.

FARM LIFE.
Reasons Why Boys VIII Not Remain
on the Farm.

Reasons Why Boys VIII Not Remain
on the Farm.
l paid visit to farm of an old friend
OF mine the other day. He is what is
called well-to-do farmer. His farm is
situated six miles from the nearest town
and railroad station. He came to the
station after me with horse and wagon.
and as we logged along over the road, he
said:
my boys are restless and drowsy and
want to quit the farm. l wish you'd
have a talk with them and quiet them
down"
When we reached the farm found the
paint all beaten off the house, while none
of the. other buildings had ever been
painted at all. The front yard was COW
cred with grass and long weeds. There
was rag carpet on the parlor floor, but
all the others were bare. Not wall in
the house had ever been papered. There
was no music, no paper or magazine, not
picture, outside of the family photo

Yes, but don't care for fish ponds.u

Yes, | hear 'em talking, but we've too

Have they been fishing this sum-

"No.v

"No."
'Do the boys go to school in the win

ga little. We have wood to chop and
rails to split, you know.
'They go to church?''
Its too far.''
How much money do you allow them
per week."
They don't get anything, except when
l buy their Clothes"
What do they do Sundays?''
"Oh! sit around and TALK
What do they do evenings?"
Sit around or GO to bed"
How much does each boy earn you a
year,"
''Well, $3.50 at least.''
And how much do you actually pay
him?''
''NIebbe s25."
The boys We're aged is, IS and 20, res
peceisely. None OF them had read a line
OF history. None of them could write

II, aS INC OFuiIaFy SCHOOL boy OF =.
They were born on the farm and had
grown up there. Each one hated farm
work. Each one felt that his father had
done him injustice. Each one told me in
confidence that he would run away within
the year.
There are farmers and farmers; but
fear that most them are alike in those
things which are driving their boys TO
hate the country and to determine to
leave the farm at all hazards. The
farmer who began life fifty years ago
must not argue that that which was
good enough for him is good enough for
his boy. 1t isn't. The world has changed
greatly. 1t is demanded of the humbIest
to be educated. We have come to UNI
derstand that the human machinery has
to have rest now and then from its labors.
The mind must be fed as well as the
body. The days of slavery for either
white or black have passed. The parlor
organ, the steel engraving and magazine
have as much right in the farmers pap
lor as the pillow and drags in his fields.
Ifthe farmers boy of to-day is to be kept
at home, he must be treated more like a
human being and less like an animal.

Custer,s Regiment.

For many years after the Custer mas
sacre, whenever the Seventh Cavalry was
paraded, or there was any mounted form
alton, there was presented the pathetic
sight of an old cavalry charger, saddled
and equipped, and led by trooper on
each side, the empty saddle telling the
story of the old horses faithfulness. He
was the sole survivor found on the field
of the Custer massacre. He belonged to
an officer in the regiment, and watched
by his masters body, although wounded
in dozen places, for days and nights,
and when the rescuers came there he
stood, gaunt, starving, wounded, but faith
full to the dead man. The late General
Sturgis, who was then Colonel of the
regiment, and who lost splendid young
son in the fight, issued an order that the
horse should be cared for to the end of
his days, as attached to the regiment, and
that at all mounted formations he should
be in line. He lived to good old age.

A True story.

The day before Christmas, the wife of
a professor in certain college in the sub
urbs OF Boston, going about that city in
the worst of bad walking, saw directly
before her, as she was crossing the street,
blind man near the track of the electric
cars, feeling his way carefully along, by
means of his stick. A car under full
Roadway was rapidly approaching.
Anxiously watching him, she perceived
that the blind man was not conscious of
his danger, and just at the last moment,
making up her mind to supreme effort,
she dropped all her packages into the
snow and slush, and, in time to see-the
car, loaded with passengers, run off on
the wrong switch, and to be confronted
by an enraged switchman who had only
been trying to move the switch SO as to
send the car to Cambridge instead of to
some hundred other towns.
