Marriages in Abyssinia.

Abyssinia is country where, if mar
riage is failure, it can easily be dis
solved. There il absolutely no legal
or holy tie. When man is desirous
of marrying girl he directly applies
to her parents. The maidens, like
those in many European countries, are
seldom consulted On the question; the
lover arranging with the father or
male relatives regarding her dover,
which generally means a few beeves,
sheep, or pieces of cloth, and some
times gold.
On the marriage day the bridegroom
presents himself with his best man at
the house of his father-in-law. Much
feasting goes on till the bride is car
ried off by her husband, generally on
his shoulders, while the male relatives
closely follow, making a canopy of
their togas to keep off the rays of the
sun, or perhaps the effects of the evil
eye. Behind come crowd of young
girls and boys, methodically lifting
their arms above their heads, and
clapping their hands TO the measured
beating of tom-toms carried by men
running along the flanks of the pro-
cession, who also blow long trumpets.
The happy couple that l saw mar
ried outstripped their followers. with
the exception of their best man, and
at last reached the town green, where
the groomsmen formed screen with
their oloaks round the happy pair,
when the deferred courtship began.
1t is custom for the supporters of
the groom, generally six in number, to
be present on this occasion, and for
many days afterward to 90 round Wis
iting The houses of the mutual friends
of The married pair, extoliing the
beauties of the bride and the accom-
plishments of the groom, generally
finishing up with grotesque dance,
which is much enjoyed by the enthusi-
astic neighbors, crowding round the
open doorway.
Though this marriage can be an
nulled according to mutual agreement
of bride and groom, if, after years of
happiness together, they wish to ce-
ment the tie more closely. the pair
simply attend the holy communion
together in church, and the marriage
is then looked upon as indissoluble.

Horse SpectacIes.

Althoug it may seem almost ludicrous
to think of horses wearing spectacles,
it is nevertheless fact that horses do
sometimes wear them. The business
of one well-known firm of opticians in
London consists largely in the manu-
facture of horse spectacies.
The object of the spectacles is to
promote high-stepping. They are
made of stiff leather, entirely inclos-
ing the eyes of the horse, and the
glasses used are deep concave and
large size. The ground seems to the
horse TO be raised and he steps high,
thinking he is going uphill or has to
step over some obstacle.
This system of spectacle-wearing is
generally adopted while the horse is
young and its effect on his step and
action is said to be very remarkable
1t has been discovered that the cause
of horses shying is, as a rule, short
sight, and it is now suggested that the
sight of all horser should be tested
like that of chilren.
1t is maintained by those who have
made study of the subject that by a
little artificial assistance many valu-
able horses which have become opti-
cally unit for work can be restord to
usefulness. Youths Companion.

The Cost of Keeping an Elephant

All the elephants used in the Indian
army as draught animals in the artil-
lery or commissariat, or rs baggage
animals in the transport department,
are very carefully attended to, and in
every way treated with the greatest
consideration. Their keep is rather
expensive, being about thirty rupees,
or seventeen dollars, day, including,
of course, the wages of their mahout
and grasS-cutter. They are fed prin-
cipaliy On unhusked. rice and grass; Of
the former they get about two hum
dred and fifty pounds and of the latter
about four hundred pounds per diem.
The very large female eats, after the
first day or two, about seven hundred
and fifty pounds of green fodder in
eighteen hours: this is exceeded often
BY large tuskess, so that eight hun
dred pounds is about the right amount
to be placed before a full-grown ele-
phant, with a margin to allow for
waste. As good load for an elephant
is about eight hundred pounds, it will
be seen that the amount he will eat
per day viii be as much as he can
carry, and this will also be the right
proportion for the smaller ones. -

MICE ON A JAMBOREE.
Champagne Was Their Tippie, and They
Took 1t Like Politicians.

Matt Miltroyich, restauranteur
here, says the Fresno Gal Republican,
has made an important discovery in nat
ural history. He has found that mice
drink champagne. 1t cost him only
about $114, the wholesale price of forty
bottles Of champagne. to make a dis
coyery which shall send the name of
Mitrovich sneezing down the centuries
long after Agassiz and Button shall
have been forgotten. 1t happened this
! way: The choice champagne con-
sumed by Ae athletic hloods of Fresno
is stored in the cellar, the bottles lying
! on the racks with the corks against the
wall Mitroyich does not like mice,
but dearly loves eats. He has six fe-
lines to guard his treasure house, but
Fresno mouse can live where a cat
would starve. and while the bantam
tigers were feeding out of the swill
barrel the mice were drinking his
champagne. Having received an un-
usually large order Of fine quart bot
ties from a lawyer who had succeeded
few hours before in hoodwinking a
jury, Mitrovich went into the cellar,
and. to his surprise, found that two of
tHc line quart DoltlcS Wefo III tue s2lfle
condition as the lawver-half full. An
examination revealed the startling
fact that the mice had nibbled at the
corks until the wine began to flow and
had swallowed by suction all the liquid
until ii got below the level of the hole
in the cork. AS the bottle lay upon
their sides this occurred when half the
champagne had been distracted, and
then fresh bottle was chosen. Nitro
vich concealed himself and watched
the mice for an hour. The first one
sucked his fill, reeled away, danced
about glibly for a while, and fell down
asleep with an ecstatic smile upon his
whiskered mug. His place was taken
by second, until the whole 100 mice
bad joined in the general jamboree.
Cats are of no use in such case. as
they cannot get between the bottles
and the wall. and Mitrovich has
changed his racks aud placed the cork
end of the bottles outward, where the
mice cannot reach them. Whenever
he thinks Of those forty spoiled bot
ties he feels forty different kinds of
pains in his bones. That's why he
doesn't like mice.

An 1S-Carat Fine Story.

j. A. McConyille, who lives on Mon
tana street, killed one of his chickens
for dinner. and on cleaning it was sur
prised to find 4 quantity of gold mug
gets in the crop and gizzard. Having
about thirty more chickens on hand,
he began killing and examining them.
In each of them lie found pro rata of
nuggets, the total amount gathered
from the thirty-onc hens being $500
an average of Sl2.50 head. The
gold was sent to the State National
Bank and pronounced 1S-carat fine.
Mr.. McCoEyilie Immediately bought
more chickens. and turned them out
on the gold fields in the vicinity of the
hencoop. As an experiment one of
them was killed and $3.50 in gold
taken from its inside works, the re-
suit of four-day run. Mr.. McCon-
vile has a virtual bonanza, and ex-
poets to be q millionaire before spring
if the chickens hold out.-Butte Mont !

HABITS OF THE APE.
How 1t Travels Among Trees-Animals
That Dare Attack 1t.

According to the San Francisco
Chronicle it is 4 most interesting sight
to watch an orang-outang makes it
way through the jungle. 1t walks
slowly along the larger branches in a
scmi-crect attitude, this being ap-
parently caused by the length of Its
arms and the shortness of its legs.
1t invariably selects those branches
which intermingle with those OF a
neighboriug tree, on approaching which
it stretches out its long arms and,
grasping the boughs opposite, seems
first to shake them as if to test their
strength, and then deliberately swings
itself across TO the next branch, which
it walks along as before.
1t does not jump or spring as monk
eys usually do, and never appears to
hurry itself unless some real danger
presents. Yet,in spite of its apparent
" slow movements it gets along far
quicker than person running through
the forest beneath.
Various stories are told about its
huge dimensions and great height, but
| have never seen one over four feet
high from head to heel and from seven
to eight feet, measuring from finger to
finger across the outstretched arms,
the width of the face varying in meas
urement from eight to twelve inches,
though the accounts OF larger animals
having been met with may be correct.
The tradition of the Dyaks is that
there is no animal in the jungle that
dare attack the orang-outang except
the python and the crocodile. At
times, when there-is no fruit obtain
able in the iangla, it wandcrs down to
the rivers to search for palm shoots
along their banks.
Then it IS the Dyaks relate how the
crocodile Will sometimes try and seize
it by the leg and drag it under the
water and into the Shiny mud below,
bat the orang-outang, according to
their accounts, soon gets the best of
the struggle, and the crocodile is either
beaten TO death with its powerful arms
and feet or torn to pieces.
But. on the other hand, it is seldom
able TO Kill the python, who, with its
deadly embrace, soon puts an end to
the great manlike ape of Borneo.

CHIEF JUSTICE MARSHALL.
When or the Bench lie Liked to Join Ii
small Boys sport.

A gentleman a long resident of this
capital. SAYS n Washington correspon-
dent Of the Louisville Courier-.IoUrnGl.
used TO relate that his father. prac
titioner at the bar of the Supreme
court, once sent him when q small boy
TO the house of the chief justice for
some legal papers. He appeared be-
fore Marshall with something like that
feeling of reverence %ith which the
lbo prostrates himself before his fetch
with something of that awe with
which the barbarian Gaul approached
the Roman senate sitting among the
ruins OF the Forum. He presented the
note, and the chief justice was not
slow TO detect the bashfulneSs of the
lad. He read the note, selected the
papers, tied them up in bundle, and
then said: Billy, | believe | can beat
you playing marbles; come into the
yard and we will have a game" The
boy assented, and soon he was en-
gagged in that childish play with the
foremost intellect Of the western hemi-
sphere All his embarrassment was
gone, and the game proved to be ex-
citing and closely contested, both be-
ing skillful players.
When chief Justice of the United
States Marshall used to spend much
of his time at home in Richmond. The
court had comparatively small
docket then and the vacations were
more frequent and longer in duration.
He would bundle up submitted cases,
90 to Richmond for the vacation, and
write his decisions there. He had a
spacious mansion on the outskirts of
the city, and in his grounds was a
noted spring of pure water, surround
ed by splendid elms and giant oaks,
and in pleasant weather the great
jurist would retire to the spring to
read end ponder the legal records up
on which he was to adjudicate. Near
hv was school house, the pupils at
tending which got water at his spring.
No boy OF girl ever went there for
water that the old man did not have
kindly greeting for him or her and
words of advice or encouragement.
He often engaged in their games at
playtime, and it was a common sight
to see the boys chasing him after he
had hurled at them that greatest of
all affronts to the schoolboy of fifty or
eighty years ago-"school butter"-
something the old fellow was almost
certain to do every day when it was
about time for the boys to return to
their studies. And yet, boyish as this
man was, full of animal spirits
as he was, it was said of him bv
William Writ that had a flower of
fancy sprung up in the train of lis
thought he would have crushed it as
he would an adder. On the bench he
was human reason incarpate; in pri-
vate station he was the kindliest and
most playful of men. As chief justice
he was Hamiltonian federalist; as
John Marshall he was more than
Jetfersonian democrat.
