go to their rescue.

STATE OF TRADE.
A Decided Improvement in the Busi-
ness Situation.

Bradstreets says that its trade reports
hiring evidence, not only Of much that is en-
couraging regarding the outlook. but that
the tide has actually turned. 1t appears, be
vond question. that the depression in indus
friaI and commercial lines has for some time
heen at low ebb and that a movement in the
direction of an expansion Of the volume OF
business has appeared. The pendulum which
swung in one direction from May last year
until 1894. should soon be seen swinging IN
the opposite direction. There is direct evi-
dence that the tide is rising at various points.
Duns Review says: Business has dis
tinctIy improved since the new year came,
and the gain is no longer visible only IN spec
ula.:ye markets. 1t is the only kind OF I'M
prcyenent tkat has in it possibilities OF last
ing. because it is based upon actual increase
in the production by industries. AS all re-
ioice to see il, there is perhaps little dis
position to reckon the gain greater than 1t IS
as vet. but several large establishments have
started with part force, hoping to increase,
and more smaller works have started than
have stopped. Orders from dealers whose
stocks approach exhaustion form Promi-
nent cause another is the widely prevalent
impression that action at Washington Will De
more satisfactory than many have expected ;
and belief that in any case the situation
will not be changed until goods now In the
works can be marketed has weight in some
trades. Whatever the causes, even a moder-
ate gain is most cheering.

A kAeYLe MARRIAGE.
The Ceremony Is Complicated and Wins
Up With an Exciting Incident.


The wedding ceremony among the
Kabyles is interesting because of ita
comparative resemblance to the customs
of the old Greeks and Romans and even
to those which still prevail in seques.
tered parts Of France. Here it is this
girls father who exacts wedding por-
ton, a sum of about 88, for which the
bridegroom has generally to rely upon
the advances of his friends. Often, too,
The young man has not house for his
bride, in which case his friends set to
work and build one, no very diff1cnt
matter.
On the wedding day the bride is led
through the villages in the neighbour
hood, mounted on mule and escorted
by friends and relations, who shout and
fire guns again and again. The various
householders hasten forth to offer her a
sieveful of beans, nuts or dried figs. OF
these she takes a handful, which she
kisses and then replaces IN the sieve
All the offerings are collected in sacks
by the old women of the procession as
contributions to the young peoples lar
der.
At the bridegroUm's house the g;rl'a
hands are washed with liquid butter.
Then they give her some fresh eggs,
which she breaks gu the nudes head
and inside the unhappy animals ears
thereby, it is believed, counteracting
any evil designs against her and her
husbands happiness. Before entering
the house she drinks milk, fresh and
aour, and also water, and scatters over
her shoulder handful of barley, whoaf
and salt for the good Of the family.
The husband then approaches her and
fires pistol above her head to signify
that thenceforward he has the power Of
life and death over her. Not infrequent-
ly he makes the symbol even more EN-,
pnatic by firing into her headdress and
setting her afarre. This DONE little re'
mains except for the youth to lift the
lady in his arms and carry her bodily
into his house. All the Year Rounia

Novel Ground Tor Suit For Damages.

Lawyers are ever ready with new
methods of procedure and novel grounds
for action, but there is an Englishman
who has just made himself prominent
in his profession as deviser of a unique
basis for a suit for damages.
He has entered suit against news
paper asking damages and an injunction
on the ground that his practice has been
injured by the newspaper withholding
his name in cases where he has been
successful and publishing it only in
cases which he has lost. Eminent coun
sci have been retained on both sides, and
the action will be bitterly contested. -
