ously mismanaged. Each one has its
ring of politicians, generally its two
rings. When one is out, the other is III.
Occasionally a wave of civic virtue
sweeps away the machine, and then the
honest voters rest ON their oars until
they again find that the politicians have
rebuilt it and are once more in power.
Just at the present period several of
the big cities of the Union are enjoying
what are termed reform administra-
tions, and the resulting experiments
which are under way are interesting to
watch. In classic Boston brand new
idea is being given trial. Its author is
Mayor Josiah Quincy. Boston, by the
way, has been singularly free from
municipal scandal in comparison with
other ig'cities. Mayor Quincy, in order
20 carry out his promise to give Boston
the best administration practicable, has
surrounded himself with sort of ad-
visory council of prominent business
men. This council has been facetiously
called 1.-THE mayors cabinet. "
Although Mayor Quincy's idea has
not been in operation very long, it has
already proved to be good one. The
council seems to be Of much assistance
60 the executive department of the city.
It is composed of five men, each one of
whom is a solid citizen and successful
business man. Mr.. A. Shuman repre-
sents the chamber of commerce, Messrs.
Jerome Jones and Jonathan Lane rep
resent the associated board of trade, Mr..
John c. Cobb represents the real estate
exchange, and Robert A. Burnett repre-
sents the Merchants association.
The functions of the council are pure
" advisory and in no way administra-
tive. The members advise the mayor in
all matters Of great municipal impor-
lance, but do not bind him to any ac-
tion, although their suggestions are uni
fOrmly regarded as of great weight. The
council can and does suggest legislation
and the revision of ordinances Its funo-
lions are elastic and while possessing no
legal existence it exercises a good deal
of power. The members of the council,
being business men and not politicians,
are entirely nonpartisan in their use of
their power and are guided only by
desire to promote public interests.
Whether this scheme will be tried by
mayors of other cities is doubtful 1t
has the advantage of interesting in mu
nicipal affairs men who can offer valu-
able assistance In the management of a
big civic corporation and who could not
be induced TO neglect their private bust
ness to the extent that the holding Of an
Office would entail. The Bostonians
seem to be satisfied that ~ir city is
pretty well governed and are encourag-
ing the new idea
In New York an entirely different
state of affairs exists The metropolis Is
under a reform administration, but it
seems TO lack something. Mayor Strong
went into Office as business mans can

CURIOUS MARRIAGE CUSTOMS.
Among Dwarfs of Andaman Island Con
tracing Parties Climb q Tree.

Among DwarfS OF Andaman Island Con-
tracing Parties Climb q Tree.
Some of the customs peculiar to
courtship and marriage among the race
of dwarfs who inhabit the Andaman is
land are according to M. de Quatre-
FACES, who recently published a book
called 1.-THE Pygmies" about these
people, very peculiar. Not the least re-
markable of them is the procedure of
courtship. The young man who has
made his choice addresses himself to the
parents, who never refuse, but send the
girl into the forest, where, before day,
she conceals herself. The young man
must find her.
If he does not succeed, he must re-
nounce all claim to her. The wedding
ceremony of these people is equally
curious. M. Quatrefages thus describes
it: 1.-The two parties climb two flexible
trees growing near each other, which
an old man then makes to bend toward
each other. When the head of the man
touches the head of the girl, they are
legally married. -
Turning from Asia to Europe. we
find avery curious custom prevailing
in Roumania. Among the peasantry Of
this country, when a girl attains a mar
riageable age her trousseau, which has
in the meanwhile been carefully woven,
spun and embroidered by her mother
and herself, is placed in a painted
wooden box.
When a young man thinks Of asking
to be allowed to pay his attentions to
the girl he is at liberty first to open the
box, which is always placed in a con-
venient position, and examine the trous-
seau. If he is satisfied with the quantity
and quality of the dowry, he makes
formal application for the girls hand.
but if not he is quite at liberty to retire

thropic millionaire who went into the
campaign with two machine candidates
and an independent opponent against
| him and came out with flying colors
It hardly seems probable that all these
evidences of reaction against municipal
misrule were merely condolences. It
looks rather as if there had been an or
ganized movement in the interest of
civic reform. 1t is probable that the
National Municipal Reform league will
claim great share of the credit. Per-
haps the claim is correct. The league
has been in existence but little more
than two years, the first convention hav-
ing been held in January, 1894, at Phil
adelphia. The organization was not COM
pleted until May of the same year, but
since that time the growth has been
rapid and the interest has increased
wonderfully. When the first conference
was held, there were between 40 and 90
local municipal reform leagues distrib-
uted in. II states. The latest report
gave the number Of organizations In the
national league as $50, distributed among
81 states. This list does not include the
numerous women g clubs that have been
formed in various cities.
The municipal refOrmers have met
with defeat in many instances, but they
seem to have kept their courage and are
as active as ever. In cities where they
have been successful it has only been
after sustaining successive defeats.
The reformers have learned lesson
from the ring politicians, for they have
gone about the work of systematic or
ganization. In Chicago the Civic feder-
alton has an organization in each ward.
with central council composed Of one
representative from each ward council
The ward councils are made up in turn
by members of the precinct councils. In
Boston there is the Municipal league,
which is composed Of $50 delegates rep
resenting a great number Of societies
and organizations The Philadelphia
Municipal league has been much ridi-
culed by its opponents, but still con-
tinues to work in its own peculiar way.
The various reform societies in New
York cannot always agree as to method, 1
but when they do their strength is shown
70 be enough to make the Tammany
tiger hunt his hole.
The progress Of the reform movement,
as whole, is being watched by the po
htioal economists with much interest
and if it survives the fire of presiden
tial election it will be considered as the
beginning of an era of better municipal
rule and not as mere spasm Of reform.

The running of a big city is a com

people do expect this, but they are in
