A strange custom prevails among a
certain tribe in the Caucasus. When a
single young man dies, some one who
has carried to the grave manageable
daughter in the course of the year calls
upon the bereaved parents and says.
"Your son is sure to want a wife
I'll give you my daughter, and you
shall deliver to mo the marriage portion
in return.
A friendly offer Of this description is
never rejected, and the two parties
soon come to terms as to the amount of
the dowry, which varies according to
the advantages possessed by the girl in
her lifetime. Cases have been known
where the young mans father has given
rs much as 80 cows to secure dead
wife for his dead son.-Buch fur Allie

For some time past the Mckinley

Dick and Nellie put their heads tor

p1kL of the Choptank and the
s<//INN Chesapeake bay, was
</CAs$ the site of three large
SI@z farms of more than four
C@< hundred acres. But the
ceaseless roll of the
tides Of the bay and river on the two
sides and the numerous ice gorges Of
the northern rivers of the bay have
caused the island to be worn away to
mere shadow of its former self.
The lighthouse, which is now more
than a half-mile away from the north

solid ground, one hundred or two hum
dred yards from the water. But the
Choptank has not been changed.
1t is still one of the most picturesque
rivers in the state. In fact, itputs
one more in mind of the interior of a
West Indian island than that of a
middle Atlantic state. The growth of
vegetation is SO luxuriant and dense
that in some cases it. is with great diff

The water is Of a beautiful dark blue
and has that freshness and saltness bf

of one hundred and fifty acres. Ad-
Joining the Wilson farm was that OF
John Roche. For years there had been
bad blood between the neighbors. It
was all on account of point of land

Wilson and Roche claimed it, and when
it was taken to law, it was decided in
