In Australia there are so few natives
left that anything but white man e
marriage is comparative rarity. The
curious difference, however. between
weddings there and in the mother coun-
try is that here we license the place for
the solemnization of the ceremony and
at the antipodes they license the man
who performs the rites Marriage can
be performed at the registrars office
for a guinea, but If a minister know
ingly marries minor without her peo-
pies consent he is liable to imprison
ment and fine of 81, 500. If, however.
the contracting parties have taken the
oath that they are Of full age, he is
safe. though it has happened more than
once that young lovers have gone to
the registry Office and obviously per-
jured themselves on the age question.

Tie Diet of the Consumptive.

DR.. Cutter of New York, one of the
editors of The Dietetic and Hygienic
Gazette, declares the most important
part of the treatment Of tuberculosis
patients is the diet. 1t should, he says,
consist largely of animal foods. OF
these, eggs and milk should preponder
ate. Eggs are best given raw when the
patient can take them thus. The albu-
men of the egg is similar to blood albu-
men and is digested. or rather absorb
ed, into the blood without undergoing
an elaborate digestive process. The
white of the egg, mixed with water, is
often tolerated when the yolk cannot be
borne by the stomach. Bone marrow Of
the OK he regards as Of greater value
than cod liver oil. Good butter may be
used freely and should be spread thick
ly on thin slices CT bread. Heavy meals
are to be avoided. The patient should
take small quantities of food between
meals.

Ean For the Shah.

late shah, Nasr-i-Din, saw 20 skaters
twirling and curling and spinning
gracefully on the ice. He was amused.
He thought it wonderful. The next day
he sent to the legation and borrowed a
dozen pairs of the skates. These he
made his ministers put on and attempt
to skate on the lake in the palace
