POLYGAMY IN TERRA DEL FUE
One Young Man Frequently Marri.s
Several Sisters.

N'S''EN
Women generally have very little to
say about marriage in TERRA del Flu
ego, says the Century. Fol- ages the
strongest bucks have been accustomed
to steal women from %ncighboring
tribes, and from neighhoring clans of
their own tribe. The Onas. being by
far the most powerful Indians, have
thus been able to capture and retain a
liberal supply of wives. = The
relation to one another of the women
who possess but n husband in com
mon in the family wigwam Is Of move
interest. AS a rule, they are no more
Jealous than are the children in "A civil
lied home circle. The principal rea-
son for this Is hat the several wives
are often sisters. A young Il takes
by force. by mutual agreement, or by
barter, the Oldest daughter of a family.
If he proves himself a good hunter and
a kind husband. the wife %persuades her
sister to join her wigwam and share
her husbands affections. Frequently.
when a girl is left an orphan, she Ia
taken into a family and trained to be-
come the supplementary wife Of her
benefactor in after years. In the hut
each wife has her own assigned posi-
ton always resting in exactly the same
spot. with all OF her belongings about
her. The wealth OF the household Is
not common to all the occupants. Each
woman has her own basket of meat
fragments or shellfsh. her W bag
with implements. needles, sinews AMI
bits of fur. and each wife has her own
assemblage Of children.

Hints for the Table.

Rapid eating is slow suicide. Plenty
of time should be taken. Fish and oys-
tiers are easily digested. An hour or
two of rest should be taken after the
meal. Mere qualification of the appe.
tite is very likely to shorten life. Din
ner should he Of Il lighter nature in
summer than in winter. A quart of
wheat contains more nutriment than
a bushel of cu%cumbers. There Is a hap
ply mean between eating everything
and being squemish. 1t Is not good to
dine when In a state Of mental or phys
ical weakness. Two pounds OF pOta-
toes contain as much nutriment as
thirteen pounds of turnips. Light
soups. light desserts and light meats
should have the preference In warm
weather. Abuse of the stomach at din
ner will be repaid sooner or later by
that punishment which comes to the
g%lutton. Vegetables and fruits are to
be used most generously at that sea

ly mature.
