Primitive Marriage.

Marriage in primitive times was no
family or personal arrangement, but an
institution of the community. If we
realize this, many hitherto unexplained
customs connected with it become at
once Of Significant The members Of
primitive communities were bound to-
gether By common interests and duties;
every member of Il clan was bound to
consider the rights Of his fellow and to
assist him even to his own hurt. Aid
and succor were Indispensable for COM
nunal necessities, therefore the mar.
riage of a son or daughter in every
small commonwealth was q matter for
public consideration. The first step that
led to matrimony in those remote times
was to capture wife or to purchase n
wife. In this the whole tribe assisted,
and then joined as of rii;ht in the fes
tivities that gradually grew round the
marriage ceremony. In short, III those
days the individual was ignored and
had no existence save as one of a group.
Surely we may consider that this led
to the necessity for the lord Of the man
ors sanction to his tenants marriage il
feudal times, the lords of t.V manor in
the middle ages having appropriated to
themselves many Of the rights of the
tribal authorities of primitive times. In
feudal times no girl could be married to
any ono out Of the manor without TIE
i,ood will Of the lord of the soil, and On
heiress could not be married at all with
out his consent. In some instances fines
had to be paid by the brides father, or
whoever stood to her in the place Of a
father, for leave to give her in marriage
to stranger. -Philadelphia Ledger.

The power of the speaker OF the house

of the speaker was increased more large

- a'so much used for military stores,
Especially abroad, and this has gone up
ia price III proportion.
Aue government, it is reported, has

tract lhla Is IS much as tie whole
country Uses in year usually, and each
pound OF extract takes about "a pounds
OF meat to produce it. On all tic goods
IN our line which the government will
want FOR the army there is likely to be
alurther advance in price, temporarily
at least but, on the other hand, it must
be remembered that the formation of
the larger army will take away lust so
many persons who are now supplied by
the regular markets"
Many retail grocers put up the prices
OF tea and coffee a few days ago be-
cause OF the proposition in congress to
put tax upon them, but there was no
other excuse for this, and the PROPOSE
ton has been abandoned Canned goods
have increased in price somewhat, and
the men who deal in them declare that
there is but small stock on hand and
that they expect somewhat higher prices
when the government begins to buy for
war purposes. Neither the war nor the
war scare has affected the prices of but
ter, milk, fresh vegetables or fruits. nor
do the dealers expect that it will affect
them materially.
Sugar is little dearer than it has
been, the prices at wholesale for cut loaf
and crushed being just a little less than
cents pound, and there is chance
that it may be made shade dearer by
the war on account of the risk of the
capture of vessels bringing it to our
ports. Hides, coffee, rubber and cocoa,
which come from South America, may
all be sent up somewhat in price by rea
son OF this sort of war risk. Three-quar-
tiers OF all the coffee used in this coun-
try comes from Brazil and consider
able portion of the balance from Nene-
zuela and Central America, and American
vessels coming from these ports will run
great risks of capture in passing through
Mona strait in the West Indies unless
our fleet should drive the Spanish clean
out of those waters. Still this risk,
which would add something to the
prices of goods, can be avoided by ship
ping in neutral bottoms and it's effect
will probably not amount to much on
what the housekeerer will have to pay.
Unless the leading business men Of
New York who deal in such goods are
greatly mistaken the housekeeper may
take heart and confidently expect that
the advance in prices which has alarm
ed her recently will be confined to a
slight increase upon meats and grocer
les and upon the special articles on
which an additional stamp tax is levied.
American and Cuban flags arc the dear
est things in the market. One great
house which supplies almost all that
are made fer the trade has raised its
prices $50 per cent and cannot fill its
orders New York Sun.

Russian Dissenters.

The SO called Greek Orthodox popu-
lation of Russia is permeated with seets
of dissenters of all possible denomina-
tions 1t is estimated that one, third of
that population belongs in reality to
some branch of nonconformists Lu-
therans, Rationalists, Sabbaturi.;ns, Bap-
lists and Anabaptists are represented in
various ways among these dlssenters,
many of whom strive to return to the
principles of primitive Christianity or
even to still more ancient forms of So
cety represented in the Old Testament.
The right of free Interpretation of the
Bible is thus carvied on all over Russia,
and there is no force which could limit
it,
Every village has its own tcachers-
men and women-who interpret the BIZ
BILE in their own ways, almost always
hostile to the present state and to the
official church. A powerful religious
movement is thus growing in Russia,
and it is also bound to work in not re-
motto time as a powerful force against
autocracy. Prince krapotkin i'll Out

I have been experimenting lately on
the eggs from certain hens to find out if
there is any great difference in the way
they hatch, their vitality, ETC., and
have been greatly interested in the dis
covcres The eggs from the abnormally
fat hens seldom hatch. The chicken
usually dies on or about the twelfth day
of incubation. When al egg matches a
day or two in advance Of time, one usu-
ally concludes that it was quite fresh
when pat in, but | now find that it is
the eggs from the active and most
healthy hens that break the shell first.
Five eggs from little game hen,
which were all over 5 days old, were
the first to hatch. Invariably the egg
from the sleepy, lazy hen matches late.
Out of 81 hens whose eggs l expert
mented with found two quite sterile.
They both lay fine, large eggs Of good
shape and shell, but, though l must
have tried quite dozen of their eggs,
not one has ever had IA sign Of a chick
en-. l have even mated them with differ
ent roosters, but without avail, and,
strange to say, they are the worst tenn

American Says It Is the Most Powerful
Defense of Havana.
An American mechanical engineer,
George Hyatt, recently arrived at Key
West from Havana and gave some in
teresting facts concerning the construc-
ton of the famous Santa Clara battery.
which is located about mile from Ha
vana. He says that it is the most pow
erful battery near the city. He thinks
the battery will resist bombardment
much better than is generally supposed,
and he expects many of its shots will
have disastrous effect.
The mortar pit consists Of four IL
inch mortars located west Of Santa
Clara. Another pit near MORO has two.
The soldiers never fired these for target
practice. The wall Of the fort is Of
rough stone, and sand is piled in front
of it to the top, with slant of / 0 de-
gree angle. Layers of railroad iron are
placed upon the top of the ratification,
and these are covered with sand. The
guns have disappearing carriages,
though most of them rest on concrete
emplacenlents.-St. Louis Globe Dem.

One Trait of Yankee Inventions,

A French engineer who had been on

was not impre; sed by the big things Of

things in America are the little things.
The French people are experts in do
nestle economy and live comfortably
by saving what average families in the
United States throw away. But Amer
leans are, on the other hand, experts in
industrial economy. They make money
by saving wHstage in business and lose
some of it by wastase in domestic econ
omy. The attention paid to small de-
tails in big works is amazing to me. |
have visited some establishments where
believe that the profits are made not
in tho manufacture proper but in the
saving of materials and labor by close
attention to details that are with US I'M
considered trifles.
"For example, l saw little grind
stone in operation at big works auto
matically sharpening lathe and rlaner
tools. This machine costs probably as
much as 100 of our ordinary grindstones
cost, but l see that it automatically
grinds all the tools for 300 high priced
mechanics, and it only works few
hours each day, The skilled mechanics
in our country frequently stop their reg
ular work to grind tn ir own tools, and
then they do it inlperfectly In tho
United States tools are all accurately
ground to the best shape by the ma
chine. so that they do more and better
work Oh this account in a given time
believe that that machine has brains
