LOLO WEDDING.
The Bride Perches on Tree Till the Groom
Captures Her.


Among the Lolos of Western China
it is customary for the bride on the
wedding morning to perch herself on
the highest branch OF large tree,
while the elder female members of
her family cluster on the lower limbs
armed with sticks. When all are duly
stationed the bridegroom chambers up
on the tree, assailed on all sides by
blows, pinches and pushes from the
dowagers, and it is not until he has
broken through their fence and capt
ured the bride that he is allowed tt
carry her off.
Similar difficulties assail the bride
groom among the Mongolian Korans
who are in the habit Of celebrating
their marriage in large tents, divided
into numerous apartments.
at a given signal, as soon as tho
guests are assembled, the bride start.
off through the compartments, follow
ed by her wooer, while the women O
the encampment throw every possible
impediment in his way, tripping W
his unwary feet, holding down thu
curtains to prevent his passage, ant
applying the willow and aide
switches numerically as lie stoops tt
raise them.
As with the maiden on the hors'
and the virgin on the tree top, tn
Korak bride is invariably captured
however much the possibilities o
escaps may be in her favor

Madagascar is visited every year
with a plague Of locust which does
a vast amount OF damage to the crops"
said Alfred T. Chimney, of Toledo,
"but 1t is an i'll wind that blows
nobody good, and so these insects are
highly esteemed as food by the ma
tives. The locusts fly within two or
three feet of the ground, and on the
approach of a swarm the people rusll
out OF their huts and strike Them
down with large fiat baskets. Then
the women and children gather them
up from the ground into sacks, where
they are Invested Of wings and legs by
means OF a severe shaking up. These
extremitics are then carefully win
moved out, the bodies dried in the
sun or fried in fat, and then packed
in sacks for food or sold in the mar
ket. People who on first thought
would not take to them kindly in the
way of provender, but who have been
forced by stress of hunger to eat themt
have admitted that thus prepared
they have a certain nutty flavor, and
that they are wholesome and nutri-
tiOuS."

The Dun At the Dance.


Philadelphia RECORD.
A party of merry sleighers from
Manayunk drove into Montgomery
county and found on their way q
small crountry hotel, in which a coun-
try fiddler was rasping out old-fash-
ioned tunes from squeaking violin
The fee for dancing was ten cents,
payable to the musician prior to
starting the dance. Sometimes one OF
the dancers forgot the fec, and as the
set was progressing the old fiddler
would cry out in sing-song tone, as
he scratched away: II know who
paid. know who didn't. Forward
lead! Right h.a-n-d.s.o-v-c-r. l
know who paid. l know who didn't.
Balance say ALL" One OF the Man
ayunkers, who imagined the old fel.
low was alluding to him, as he whirled
around, said: "Say, pop, didn't
pay?" "Oh, yes, but ! know who
didn't" yelled the hddler, his voict
keeping perfect time with his bow
The dance was stopped, while tl''

They Ride Man.raShlOn.

Among the sights Chicago now
prides itself on is two women, Mrs.
Chas. T. Cobb and Mrs. Chas. w.
Schlund, who ride astride, man.
fashion. They wear divided skirts
that reach the ground when they dis
mount. When they first appeared on
Michigan avenue people were puzzled
by the effect.
The husbands of both ladies approve
of their wives riding habits. Mrs.
Cobb has ridden miles among the
mountains of the South and West IN
this fashion, and Mrs. Schlund's hus'
band wouldn't consent to her riding
at all until she agreed to ride astride
Mrs. Schlund says that women always
rode so until a princess, who was de
formed, was compelled to assume TIN
side saddle position.

True LOVE IN GREENLAND.
How Marriage and Oourtship Are Brought
About in the Far North.

Since the Danish missionaries have
gained the confidence OF the natives
Of Greenland, marriages in the Far
North are celebrated by the repre-
sentativcs Of the Church. In a re-
cent issue of one OF the Danish papers
one OF the missionaries gives the fol-
lowing account OF the way courtship
and marriages are brought about
The man calls on the missionary
and says: II wish to take unto my
self a wife"
"WhOm?" 2" asks the missionary,
The man gives her name.
"Havc you spoken with her ?"
AS rule the answer is in the mega
tive, and the missionary asks the rca-
son.
Because" comes the reply, ''it IS
SO difficult. You must speak to her."
The missionary then calls the young
woman to him and says: Il think 10
is time that you marry"
But she replies, 81 do not wish to
marry"
"That is a pity" adds the nission-
ary, "as l have a husband for YOU"
"Who is he?" asks the maiden.
The missionary names the candi-
date for her love.
But he is not worth anything. l
will not have him"
However" suggests the mission
ary, "he is a good fellow, and attends
well to his house. He throws "a good
harpOon, and he loves YOU"
The Greenland beauty listens at.
tentively, but again declares that she
will not accept the man as her hus.
band.
Every well" goes on the missionary,
II do not wish to force you. l shall
easily find another wife for so good a
fellow"
The missionary then remains silent,
as though he looked upon the Incl
I dent as closed. But in few minutes
she whispers, "But II you wish it"
mo-" answers the pastor, "only II
you wish it. do not wish to over
persuade you"
o Another sigh follows, and the pas
9 tor expresses the regret that she cam
!. not accept the man.
"PastOr," she then breaks out, II
fear he Is not worthy"
"But did he not kill two whales last
summer while the Others killed one !?
!, Will you not take him nOw?"
! "Yes, yes will"
"God bless you both," answers the
. pastor, and joins the two in marriage.

The good advice Of the Oxford
Globe seems well-nigh inexlianstable.
Following Is the latest: "Be careful

easiest matter in the world to blast
the fair reputation OF her, even by
the utterance Of a single word 0f dis
paragement. Her good name is all in
all to her, and when you take that
from her naught remains but despair,
despondency and the sickcniDg fumes
OF disgrace. SO, young man, when

that you, too, have sisters, whom you
would not have the finger OF scorn

THAT WICKED PARROT.


81. Louis Globe-D Democrat.
"Baldheaded people are continually
being made the butt OF other peoples
jokes" remarked Il. NJ. Weir, OF Chi
cago, as lie moppcd the perspiration
from his pate, which was as devoid OF
hair as a billiard ball. st Is not Of
ten, though that you hear Of parrot
taking advantage OF our misfortune
and setting US up as an object Of ridi-
cule. Such a thing happened to me a
few weeks ago, and will tell you how
it was. An old college chum OF mine
received a parrot as one of his we'd
ding presents, and both he and his
wife are greatly attached to the bird.
He is in the habit OF getting out of
his cage and running over the house
at his own sweet will. One day the
cook caught Polly in the act Of pulling
some picked onions from jar that
stood on the kitchen table. She was
so angry that she threw a dipper of
hot water that she had in her hand at
him, some OF which landed on the
| top of his head, and the result was
that a tuft of feathers came of and
he was baldheaded parrot forever
more. Months after this occurrence
l called at the home Of my friend tO
spend the evening. The parrots cage
hung up in the hall in such position
that he could commOnd a view of thu
front door. AS l stepped inside thu
door and removed my hat, displaying
my extensive bald pate, Polly at one,
cried out in the Dlainest tones:
"'Ha, ha, so you've been at til
picked onions, too, have you?"

The Natural Law Of Money.

Public Opinion.
The natural law OF money, accord
ing to Mr.. Brough, is the natural law
OF evolution, the law Of natural selec-
tiOn and the survival of the tlttest.
First barter gave place to some medi-
UNI Of exchange, and the bulkcr and
cheaper metals used in earlier times
were gradually discarded for silver
and gold. And now among the more
highly civilized nations silver has
been or is being steadily displaced by
gold and relegatcd to the place of sub
sidiary coin, like nickel and copper.
Mr.. Brough recounts the origin OF
Gresham's Law and shows how its
soundness was borne out by the expe-
rience Of England in her efforts at the
close OF the Seventeenth Century to
replace debased and and naturally
depreciating coinage with full-weight
coin fresh from the mints-how, de-
spite the most strenuous exertions of
the Government, the baser coin kept
its place in circulation and the better
coin was boarded.
Mr.. Brough says the effort to make
gold and silver circulate side by side
at a fixed ratio Is both impossible
and unnecessary. 1T is not money,
but wise monetary legislation that
the country now needs" Government
action in connection with money
should be confined to assaying the
precious metals and minting coin,
verifying the fneness and weight of
the pieces, guarding the coin against
criminal deterioration, and shaping
the pieces according to the actual
needs Of the times. To go beyond
this is to trench upon the freedom of
money and upon the rights of the in
dividual-tO violate the natural law
and to interfere with the free and
normal flow OF exchanges essential to
the highest welfare Of the people.
Paper money is highly desirable, but
to have paper money of high efficiency
''it must rest upon its only and true
basis-thc precious metals, and II
must be bank, and not Government
paper money. The author sketches
the experiences Of the American colo
nics with paper money. He also com
pares the the monetary system of the
United States with that OF Canada.
Altogether the book Is clear ant
forcible argument for individual free
dom and against Government dicta
tion with regard to the choice o
| material for money. The author
holds that "the South and West hav,
been oyertaxed with monopolisti'
| money: but this chiefly because it il
Government money" Every localit!
should be left free to use the NOR
| adaptable metal, whether silver o
> gold. The author believes that In til,
) money question, as In most publi
questions, there are two sides, ant
that neither the advocates OF gol,
alone nor those of silver alone 70
money use are wholly right.
