A Curious Wedding Custom.

The Mandingoes, who inhabit tract
of country in Africa, are strict Moham-
medans in religion, but, euriously
enough, they still retain many of the
superstitions of the negro races from
which they sprung. Consequently
their marriage ceremony is mixture OF
the two, and, although it is performed
by a marabout or holy man in the
mosque, it contains one very ridiculous
element. Next in Importance to the
marabout is the bridegroom's sister,
and when the marriage ceremony
reaches the point where the visible
bond, usually typified in civilization by
the ring, this sister steps forward, and
in place of the ring presents the lady
with a pair of trousers, which are inn
mediately donned. The ceremony is
concluded by n very mournful song
sung by the companions of the bride,
who then conduct her again to the
home of her parents. as, owing to the
extreme proba bility of one or the other
retracting at any moment by reason OF
an unfavorable omen, no house is built
until the ceremony is completed. Po-
lygamy is the rule, but each wife has
her own house to keep her from quar-
reling with the other wives. They are
the most tyrannical wives in Africa,
and, hating each other, band together
against their husband and rule him
with rod of iron.-Ladies' Home
