MARRIAGE CUSTOMS.
Radical Changes That Have Taken Place
In England.

Marriage customs have changed ev-
erywhere with the advance of CiNiliZa-
ton. AnglO-SaXons III ancient times, it
is said, used to capture their wives by
force from their fathers or 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 woman, provid-
ed he afterward paid her previous own
er, be he father or husband, so shillings
If 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 lien woman belonged to
her captoh
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 on the morn
ing after the wedding.
The next step was the "fOster lien, y
when the bride price was paid on the
day of espousal and was supposed to
compensate the parent for the cost OF
bringing up his daughter. 1t seems,
however, that this soon fell into dlsre-
pute, as there was no law against the
fathers engaging his daughter to nu-
merous suitOrs, taking from each the
foster lien, and, OF course, cheating
all but one on the wedding day, which,
at that time, was only the day of be-
trOthal, when the suitor gave wed
or pledge for the future performance OF
his contract If the sutton did not claim
his bride within two years after the
wedding day, he forfeited all right to
her and to whatever money or goods he
had paid for her. If the woman or her
father broke their promises, the father
had to give the sutton four times as
much as the sutton had already paid
him.
As civilization advanced the bride
price was given to the woman herself
and became her dowry, while nova
days the tables are frequently turned,
and the bride settles the money on her
husband Kate Field S Washington.

The Importance of Uniniured Fruit.

There is no question about the impor-
lance of so far as possible preventing the
bruising of fruit. From what has been
said in strong terms concerning the barrier
of "A tough skin which nature has placed
upon the apples, it goes without saying
that this defense should not be ruthlessly
broken down. 1t may be safely assumed
that germs of decay are lurking almost
everywhere, ready To come in contact with
any substances. \ bruise or cut in the skin
is therefore even worse than a rough place
caused by n scab fungus as a Judgment pro-
vided by the minute spores of various sorts.
If the juice eXudes. it at once furnishes the
choicest of conditions for molds to grow
An apple bruised is fruit for the decay
of which germs are specially invited, and
when such a specimen is placed in the midst
of other fruit it soon becomes point of in
lection for its neighbors on all sides. Sci
dom is fully rotten apple found i'll bin
without several others near by 1t being
more or less affected. a rotten apple is not
its brothers keeper. -Professor b. ID. Hal

CONGRESS CAN'T DO IT.

There is general hope and belief
throughout the country that Congress Will
do something finally for the distress and
suffering of so many hapless people. ltis
to be hoped business will start up and give
employment to thousands. But there are
cerlain kind of sutierlngs which Congress
can do nothing to relieve. There IS pam

he was run over by street car, and tho
accident caused the amputation of both
arms above the elbow. Instead of bcwail-

doing anything to aid himself he began
to study art with a vim, and in two years

TO amuse :. very small child, put an old
gingham apron on it, put it on the floor or
in high chair and put some mOlasses in

long time picking the feathers from one
hand to the other and will probably end
by sucking all the moasses off its fingers

Judge Patterson, of Sullivan, Moul-

quite a history of the Rev. Prather,
while he was located i'm that city as
pastor of the Cumberland Presby-
terian church there.
II states that Prather seduced his
hired girl and then tried to hire a
physician to perform a criminal op-

failing in this Prather spirited the
girl out of the country. The letter

also states that Prather collected
some S7O0 from subscriptions that
had been taken for the purpose OF
building a new church house by his
congregation, and that he skipped
out with the money. These evil
deeds took place about eight years
ago. Judge Patterson says further
that the next he heard from Prather
after leaving Sullivan that he was
serving n term in the New York pen
itentiary, after which he heard Of
him at Gainesville, Texas, and he,

ofthe left arm by watchman Tom
Martin about midnight, the bullet

with physician, a reporter visited
the patient and found him doing
nicely, in fact walking around the

today, though less than fourteen days
have elapsed since he was shot, and
the heat has Eeen almost intoierable,

A BAD, BAD FAILURE.
The State BaRk Of Perry In the Hands
Of the sheriff Small Assets aud
LARGE Liabilities.

PERRY, U. T., Jept. 1.-THE State
bank of this city failed TO open its
doors for business this morning, be-
ing in the hands Of the sheriff under
attachments.
The first attachment served was
one by Register J. II. King for 81
500, and as soon as il was known
other papers were gotten out until
the amount ran away up into the
thousands.
The liabilities are said TO be some
$50, 900 or S35, 900, with assets, in
cluding real estate of only $1,000.
Fred Farrar, the cashier, is in Col
orado, and up 10 the present time il
has been impossible to get any COM
munication with him. During his
absence, Frank Davidson has been
in charge.
The failure will cause great suffer-
ing in this city and vicinity, as the
large majority of the depositors are
poor settlers who had their all de-
posted in this bank, it being consid-
cred safe and conservative.
Many suits against Farrar and
others connected with the bank
have been filed, and endless litiga-
ton will ensue.
