Odd Marriages in the ehlIlpplns,.

The marriage customs of the Ne
gulos are peculiar. The young man
who seeks bride first obtains the
favor of her parents, and then pursues
her, catching her in his arms. She
breaks loose and runs and does not
yield until he has caught her several
times. Finally he leads her in tri-
umph to her home. Here the father
drags the youth up ladder to the
floor of their hut. The mother drags
the maiden. They are then made to
kneel, and the father pours over them
a cocoanut she'll full of water. He
then bumps their heads together and
the ceremony is completed They
spend their honeymoon in the depths
Of the mountains, and for five days
and nights are lost to sight, after
which they come back to everyday
life..
There is another marriage custom
which is worth describing. Instead of
the youth and maiden being dragged
up the hut ladder, they are made to
climb two saplings and draw them to.
gether until the heads of the young
couple touch, with kiss or a bump,
according to the force used. This
makes them man and wife.-Tha

Riuid Test for Matrimonv.

Both the northern and western isl.
ands Of Scotland the natives have
some peculiar customs unfamiliar to
the jewellers of the main land. One of
these. known as the marriage test"
is practiced in the Island of ST. Kida,
where the population barely exceeds a
hundred. The desire among the is ands
to increase this number does not seem
to be exceptionally strong, and every
man before he is deemed suitable for
husband has to perform an evolution
with no little bodily risk The st. XII
dams, are, of course, adept rock
climbers. and the aspirant for matri.
mony is therefore subjected to the
test of balancing himself on one leg
on a narrow ledge overhanging a pre-
cipice bending his body at the same
time in order to held the foot of his
other leg in his hanGs. If found lacking
in courage the maiden withdraws her
betrothal. and should the man fall over
the ledge it is presumed that. in his
case he will be dislualified.-C Chicago

New York HospitalitX.

The hospitality of smaller places is
rare if not unknown in New York
Hospitality there is different, and
tends to be swamped by numbers. and
even chilled into an apparent indiffer
ence that is really compelled by cir
cumstances. Often it makes a brave
fight and never wholly gives up, but
1t is struggle against great odds Not
seldom it happens that the enormous
aggravation of social and intellectual
opportunities that confront country
people who come to live in New York
so discourage them that they end in
living narrower lives in the great city
and seeing fewer people than in the
smaller town from which they came.
And if 1t does not discourage them it
is apt to drive them too hard A New
Yorker who always had a house in
town and another in the country near
by, excused himself for building a
third in New Hampshire by saying, "In
town or near town | never get away
from engagements. | want a place
where l can have some leisure-and
leisure to a New Yorker means of
course. a chance to do some work.

The Chinese Wall to Go.
It is curious that when China is just
on the eve of introducing western
methods of engineering she should
threaten to demolish the greatest en-
gineering work she possesses; that is
to say, the Great Wall, erected 200
years B. c. for the purpose of keep
ing back the Tartars. 1t is stated that
an American engineer is en- route to
China in behalf of Chinese syndicate
which is expected to take a share in
the contract to be given out by the
Chinese government for the demoli-
ton of the wall. The engineer states
that one French, two British and
three German firms are also bidding
for the work, payment of which is to
be in the way of rich concessions.

Nearly Killed by Her Comb.

Mrs. Noah Brown, residing on Cole.
rain avenue, met with a peculiar acct
dent the other day. Mrs. Brown. was
waiting on her husband, who was in
bed suffering with a sprained ankle.
She had occasion to stoop down in
front of an open fire CRATE. and as she
did so celluloid comb worn in her
hair exploded with sufficient force to
throw her to the floor some distance
away. Following the explosion the
comb ignited.
Most of Mrs. Browns hair was
burned off, her eyebrows and lashes
were scorched and she was severely
burned about the face and neck. Con
siderable effort was required to pre-
vent the carpets and other furnish
ings from catching fire, as it was
found impossible to extinguish the
blazing comb after 1t had been pulled
from her hair. The explosion was ac-
companied by report similar to that
of. blank cartridge discharged in a
pistol, and was heard by several peo-

A Farmers Find.

Ever since last September Eugene
Doolittle, a farmer living at Rock
wells mills, in this county has been
driving about in wagon with $4,000
under the sest cushions. He made
the discovery by accident yesterday.
The wagon is a two-seated one, and
Mr. Doolittle was giving it thorough
cleaning, preparatory to taking his
family for drive. AS he took up the
cushion on the back seat he saw a
long wallet under them. 1t contained
a ten-dollar gold piece and $4,000 in
securities. The name of the owner
was on card in the pocketbook, and
the honest farmer returned the prop
erty Immediately. 1t had probably
been stolen at the county fair in Nor
witch in September, and hidden I'M

EARRINGS.
New York's Four Hundred Has Begun
Wearing Them.

Wearing Them.
There have been any rumors about
earrings becoming popular. They
were the much-talked-of innovation Of
the First Assembly ball in New York.
But instead of a gem glistening in the
lobe of the ear, drop" earrings were
worn so big that they almost suggest
ed the barbaric
Mrs. Oliver H. p Belmont, who de-
lights in adopting every new fashion
fad, wore her massive earrings as she
had never known what it was to be
without them. They consisted Of tur-
quoises exquisite in color and gradual
ed in size. There were three for each
ear. and when Mrs. Belmont moved
her head the lower one just escaped
touching her shoulder.
Mrs. DreXel also wore remarkably
beautiful earrings-a diamond screw
for each ear and cosby drop" pearl.
Then Miss Ethel Davies, Mrs. Brad
ley Martins charming niece, wore
much-talked-of earrings. In the lobe
of her shell-like ear a diamond glis-
tened, and from it swung a big tur.
quoise.
Three brilliantly matched rubies,
which glistehed as if they were dia-
monds, were worn as earrings by Mrs.
George Gould. They were the most
conspicuous earrings at the assembly.
They were all the same size-three
rubies for each ear and each gem
worth small fortune.

NEW DISCOVERY.
II AnnIhIIates Distance In Wireless
Teleeraphy.

iStcSTdpnys
Bold researches by Prof. Reginald
A. Fessenden and his assistant, Prof.
Kintner, in the electrical laboratory
OF the Western University OF Penn
sylvania, have resulted In the produc-
ton Of receiver for wireless teleg-
raphy that is 1000 times more sensi-
tive than the first made and several
hundred times more sensitive than the
so-called Marconi "coherers." The
stupendous importance of this discov-
cry lies in the fact that it demon
strates that messages can be sent the
80 miles distance the Italian has COW
cred in his English Squadron expert
ments, plus the number OF times the
Fessenden receiver is more sensitive
than the "coherer," or in effect, around
the world.
Although we have improved the
receiver so that It is 1000 times as
sensitive as the original one. we real
lie that We have not begun to see
the limit. No further changes will
be made along this line for the pres
ent, as we now work with a spark so
small as to be lmost invisible.
"Marconi, in his brilliant expert
ments, has demonstrated that mes
sages can be sent over 80 miles. AS
our receiver is several hundred times
more sensitive, 1t is clear that the
messages can be sent by our method
very much further, though just what
the limit is l would not like to say. II
at least should be possible to send
messages across the Atlantic with
poles less than two hundred feet high.
The ultimate distance must be checked
by actual experiment before 1t be-
comes a scientific fact In the strictest
sense
Energetic work will be commenced
on long distances as soon as we have
settled all of the purely scientific ques-
tons involved in wireless telegraphy.
1t is matter of infinitely greater i'm
portance. from the standpoint of sci
ence, to discover the exact shape OF
the waves. how they change in their
progress outward, how the energy is
lost when we increase the distance
and how they vary under varying con-
ditions.
by means of our instruments, the
first ever discovered capable of giving
exast measurements of waves, We
have succeeded in discovering some
very interesting facts. For example,
we have proved definitely that the
waves are not Hertz waves travelling
through space, but that they are sim
liar to those which travel over the sur
face of conductors. and which were
first investigated by Lodge. We have
also discovered that the waves in
crease regularly in height as they
progress outward.
Work is being pushed, and as soon
as possible we shall begin on long dis
tances. Our present course will en-
able us to so on with little loss OF
time. While the present investiga-
tons are slow, they are preparing the
way for rapid and more certain tests
over large areas later. "-Pittsburg

BEAR FALLS THROUGH A ROOF.
He Causes Great Excitement In
PENNSYLVANIA Household.


Samuel Reid, a prosperous Mont.
gomery County farmer, has been kept
busy telling and retelling how on Sun
day he and his family were literally
Gagged In their home by a huge bear,
which finally broke through the roof
and fell into the room where their
baby boy was sleeping.
Mr.. Reid's pretty little two-story
cottage nestles in an apple orchard
three miles north OF Willow Grove.
He comes to Philadelphia on market
days, having a stand in the Kensing.
ton market. There 1t was that his
friends gathered yesterday to hear
him tell Of his thrilling experience.
1t was about o'clock on Sunday
afternoon, Reid says, that he and his
wife, having put their threeyear-old
boy to bed. started out to enjoy the
afternoon air. Just at the end of the
orchard a strange sight met their eyes.
Two hundred feet from the house,
coming directly toward them, was

Italians in hot pursuit With a dash

door. After recovering from their first
fright they ventured to look out of a
window, when, to their surprise and
horror. they spied Bruin seated at the
top of an apple tree, one great branch
Of which overhangs the cottage.
The two Italians below danced
around, gesticulated and howled in
vain. In answer to Reds question, 1t
did not take the two Italians long to
explain to the farmer that the bear
was pet, which they exhibited. They
intended taking him to Reading, but
