A Test of Bravery.

A custom like this has spread, OF
course, among neighboring tribes un-
der various forms. That of the Abys-
sinian braves is described by Mr.
Mansfield Parkyns The girls them
selves play an active part there. When
young people are gathered for amuse-
ment, after church festival for in
stance one of them will begin peeling
straw of green millet, which is full
of pith. Her lovers blood runs cold
probably. but he must smile or own
himself a craven. When she has cut
the pith into bits an inch long, he
stretches out his bare arm. The ex-
ample set, every girl who respects her
self and has lover follows it. The
Young men form a circle. with their
arms extended. Biithely then. with
many jest doubtless. the maidens ar

and set them alight. They are nearly
an inch thick, and they burn very
slowly, but the hapless youth must
stand and smile as well as he can till
the blood and juices of the scared flesh
extinguish them. Standard

ception, certainly among the upper
American classes.
Our wealthy society people do not
produce numerous offspring. A life Of
absolute luxury and pleasure is not
conducive to such result. Then, too,
malpractice by skilled specialists, :"
dearly bought and paid for, can ac-
count for many childless woman Of
fashion, without doubt.
The late marriage Of American wom-
en-, which has superseded the youth
full unions SO prevalent lin the days Of
our grandmothers, is still another
cause. The girl who weds at eighteen
takes marriage and maternity with
the never-thinking mind of youth. The
young woman who remains single un-
til she is well into her twenties has
had time to look about her, to think
and ponder, to weigh consequences, to
see results, and, however deeply she

peared to the traders so sensationally
serious that IL more than counterbal-

be said on that side. Provisions closed
at a slight decline. In wheat there was
a very fair speculative trade. the market

The principal surrounding influences

year. There was a small increase on
ocean passage and a large increase I'm

advices from the interior were eagerly
watched for and very numerous.
There were fair rains in Illinois and

little In Iowa and Nebraska. There were
all kinds of orders filled at the opening
