THE PRICE OF A WIFE.

savages Place = Varying Value Upon Their
Chosen z!eipInatas.
In the earliest times of purchase a
woman was bartered for useful goods
or for services rendered to her father
In the latter way Jacob purchased
Rachel and her sister Leah. This was
a Beena marriage, where a man, as in
Genesis, leaves his father and his
mother and cleaves unto his wife and
they become one flesh or kin-the
woman's. The price of bride in Brit
ish Columbia and Vancouver island
varies from twenty to forty pounds
sterling worth of articles. In Oregon
an Indian gives for a wife horses,
blankets or buffalo robes; in California,
shell money or horses; in Africa, cat
tie. A poor Damara will sell a daughter
for one COW; richer Kaffir expects
from three to thirty. With the Banyai,
if nothing be given, her family claim
her children. In Uganda, where no
marriage recently existed, she may be
obtained for half dozen needles, or a
coat, or pair of shoes. An ordinary
price is box of percussion caps. In
other parts, a goat or couple of buck
skins will buy girl. Passing to Asia,
we find her price is sometimes five to
fifty rubles, or at others, CARLOAD of
wood or hay. A princess may be pur-
chased for three thousand rubles. In
Tartary, a woman can be obtained for
a few pounds of butter, or where q rich
man gives twenty small oxen a poor
man may succeed with pig. In Fiji,
her equivalent is whales tooth or a
muslzet. These, and similar prices else
where, are eloquent testimony to the
little value savage sets on his wife,

F. Mr.. Jones keeps toy shop, and. among

outside, with an artificial fish at the
end of it. Late one night, when most
people were in bed, a man who was
rather the worse for his nights enjoy
ment happened to see this fish. He
looked at it, and then went cautiously
up to the door and knocked gently
Jones did not hear this, but after the
man had knocked a little louder he
appeared at the window up above.
''Who's there?'' said Jones. Don't
make noise," said the man, in a whis-
per, ssbut come down as quietly as you
can" At this request Jones, who had
recently been robbed, thought there
must be something the matter. So he

possible. ''What is the matter?'' he
asked. s.Shi'' said the man. ssPull

Are Working on Their Respective
Portions OF II.

Washington, Nov, io.-The public
should De prepared for variety of
rumors from Washington between this
time and the meeting of congress IN re-
latl0n 10 government politics. and nota-
bly, IN regard 10 fiscal affairs, the ut
terances OF the president in his forth
coming message 10 congress, and the
recommendation that viii be found In
the report OF the secretary of the treas
ury. A number OF persons are engaged
at this time preparing paragraphs for
the message and the secrelary's report,
In which actual statements and prob
lematlcal suggestions are made that can
not fall TO interest and amuse Mr..
Cleveland and Mr.. Carlisle II read by
them. That both these high officials
VIII discuss fiscal affairs there can be
no doubt, and judging from their we'll
known opinions on financial questions,
little IL rlsked I'm predicting that both
papers will advocate sound monetary
principles, But all statements as TO the
details Of those state papers are pure
speculation, and no one should be de-
ceived by them. Neither the president
nor the secretary OF the treasury has
begun the preparation OF his respective
paper, although the leading topics that
will be discussed have. doubtless, re-
ceived careful attention from both.
The statement was made In congress
slonal circles to-day that President
Cleycland's message to congress would
throw light on the China-Japan ques'
tion. and would forestsll any resolution
OF inquiry. Az the secretary OF state
makes no annual report To congress-
the presidents message ordinarily deals
with the affairs with which the govern
ment has any part, and as the recent
negotiations with China and Japan are
the most important questions the de-
partment has had In some time, IL IL
concluded that Mr.. Cleveland will make
clear the position OF this government.
Up TO the presnt time there Ia no Of
fetal information on the subject, and
the state department has not even
stated officially that negotiations
with China and Japan are In progress.
The reading Of the presidents message
is the first business OF congress. so that
II would precede the contemplated In
PRODUCTION OF resolutions OF inquiry by
Representative Bellamy Storer. II Is
the belief OF those familiar with Presi-
dent Cleveland's position against for
eign entanglemnts that such reference
as he may make 10 the subject
I'm his messaseiawill be on the ground
of humanity. urging that while this
government need not reach abroad for
conquest and acquisition, II can well
adopt an enlightened policy which will
be effective in maintaining the peace
and progress Of the world.
