MARRIAGE CUSTCMG.
Radical Changes That Igave Taken Place
In England.


In England.
Marriage customs hayo changed ev-
erywhere with the advance Of civiii2a-
ton. Anglo-SaXons in ancient times, 10
is said, used to capture their wives By
force from their fathers CT their hus-
bands it did not matter which.
This was before Augustine came to
preach Christianity. Then purchase WAS
more common than capture, although
the latter seems to have been frequent
enough to the reign OF Ethelbert to need
regulation by law. BY this law man
might run away with IA woman, provid-
ed he afterward paid her previous own
er, be he father or husband, 80 shillings.
II it was husband who had thus been
deprived of his wife, the woman's cap
tor had not only to pay him the fine,
but also to buy him another wife. In
any case the stolen woman belonged to
her captor.
If man had purchased his bride in
the days of Ethelbert and afterward
concluded he had paid too much for her,
it was lawful for him to return her tO
her former owner and claim again the
purchase price, provided that he had
not previously expressed satisfaction by
making the bride a present OH the morn
ing after the wedding.
The next step was the ''foster lien, !"
when the bride price was paid Oh the
day of espousal and was supposed to
compensate the parent for the cost OF

Themistocles, the hero of Salamis,

Athenian device to prevent any citizen
becoming too great. When any man ac-
quired such prominence as to be unsafe
to the state, number Of citizens de-
manded vote, which was taken by
writing OH shells the name of the too
prominent citizen. If majority voted
against him, he was sent into exile, not
because he had done anything, but for
fear he might do something. He staid
away from five to ten years, then re-
turned and resumed his standing as a
citizen without loss Of property or rep
utation. Themistocles was ostracized
and went into exile. where he was soon
accused of reasonable correspondence
with the Persians. He was about to be
arrested, but fled to Persia. He gained
great influence at the Persian court and
projected an invasion of Greece, but

WILD COSSACk RIDERS.
Two Americans Saw Them Break n Winter
Camp In Turkestan.

Two Americans Saw Them Break Winter
Camp In Turkestan.
Messrs. Allen and Sachtleben, who
went around the world OIL bicycles, give
the following account Of one of their
experiences III Turkestan:
One of the chief incidents of our
pleasant sojOurn was afforded by Gov.
ernor Ivanoff. We were invited to head
the procession of the COssacls Oh their
annual departure for their summer en-
campment in the mountains After the
usual religious ceremony they filed out
from the city parade ground. Being un-
avoidably detained for few moments,
we did not come up until some time
after the column had started. AS we
dashed by to the front with the Ameri
can and Russian flags fluttering side by
side from the handle bars, cheer after
cheer arose from the ranks, and even
the governor and his party dotted their
caps in acknowledgment.
At the camp We We're favored with q
special exhibition of horsemanship By
single twist of the reins the steeds
would fell to the ground, and their rid
ers crouch down behind them as a bull
warlz in battle. Then, dashing forward
at full speed, they would spring to the
ground and leap back again into the
saddle, or hanging by their legs would
reach over and pick up handkerchief,
cap or a soldier supposed to be wound
ed. All these movements we photo
graphed with our camera.
Of the endurance of these Cossacks
and their Kirghiz horses we had prac-
teal test. Overtakinga Cossack courier
i'll the early part Of days journey, he
became SO interested in the velOcipe6e,
as the Russians call the bicycle, that he
determined to see as much Of it as pos
sibie. He staid with us the whole
day, over distance Of 90 miles. His
chief compensation was i'll witnessing
the surprise of the natives, to whom he
would shout across the fields to come
and see the tonasha, adding in eXplana-
ton that we Were the American gentle
men who had ridden all the way from
America. Our speed was not slow, and
frequently the poor fellow would have
to resort to the whip Or shout: "Slow
ly, gentlemen. My horse is tired. The
town is not far away. 1t is not necessa-
ry to hurry so.
The fact is that in all our experience
we found no horse Of even the famed
KirShiz or Turcoman breed that could
travel with the same ease and rapidity
as ourselves even over the most Ordina-
~ road.
