A B0ER GIRLS WEDDING.


A wedding is always an event of a.
most national importance, and Is really
most picturesque ceremony. The
friends and relatives may arrive q day
or two ahead Of time, according to the
distance to be travelled, and the Boer
homestead becomes a most animated
scene. Scores of ox-teams are scattered
about the surrounding plain; negro
servants are bustling around; guns are
fired promiscuously whenever more
guests arrive; dancing, feasting and
coffee drinking are carried on in the cot
tage. and everywhere around it; inn
promptu shooting matches and horse
races are decided, and joy is urcnn-
fined. After the ceremony, and after ~.
the guests have kissed the bride and
bridegroom. the wedding feast is eaten,
and then the guests spend the night
in dancing and playing games. 1t would
be breach of etiquette for any Of the
guests to depart before the dawn, and,
indeed. the fiddler's music and the
sound made by the dancing feet are
often heard until noon of the following
day. The wedding tour consists Of !
journey to the cottage and farm which
the husband has secured from his
father and which adjoins the old horae

Kimberley proper is built around 4

population of South Africa. This is the
excavation above III: Kiaberley mine.
made when diamonds were mined from
tho surface. Nowadays shafts are sunk
| and levels formed, whence the blue
ground is blasted out and hauled to
the surface in elevators. The diamond
is different from other precious stones
In that it is found in soft clay, while
the amethyst, ruby and emerald are i'm
bedded in quartz. This makes the dia-
mond easy to conceal in the mouth, nose
and by swallowing, and every year the
De Beers company gets from the work
men $4,000, 900 worth of stolen goods.
The inclination to pilfer these precious
stones is SO intense that the crime is
severely punished. In South Africa the
first commandment is: Thou shalt
not steal diamonds" What rape is to
Georgia is /. D. B. Gllicit diamond
brigand) to South Africa. For murder
a man may get ten years; for having
diamond found on his person that is not
registered. 20 years. At Cape Town is
q great convict station called the
"Breakwater," where sons of prominent
American families and English aristo-
Gratis join in lockstep with Lascars and
kaffirs. They have all violated the
first commandment. In Kimberley
1000 negro convicts sort the diamonds
under the muzzle of martini rifles. They
are kept in a separate place. The other
black boys live in q five-acre inclosure
known as the Compound"

five mines, Kimberley, De Beers, DIT

the first two are situated in Kimberley
and are the only ones worked now. The
diamonds produced in other parts OF
the world would not supply the city OF
Philadelphia. The value Of the South
African product thus far has been $780,
100000. The supply seems inexhaust-
ibie.

THE HANG OF YOUR HAND.
Some Characteristics Which Are
Said te BE Diseernible In
That Member.

There is great deal in the hang OF
the hand when free and at ease. man
drops his hands to his sides by purely
unconscious action in the majority OF
cases. and all unconscious actions are
important to a would-be Judge of char
acter. Sit at window and watch the
passers-by. The man whose first and
little fingers are stretched straight
down. with the two others curled in
ward. is endowed with accurate judg-
ment and precise foresight.
If long and well-formed thumb
hangs parallel with the outstretched
fingers, all his actions will be the result
of thought and his words well weighed
before spoken. Unless the upper
phalange of his thumb shows a tend
ency to turn outward he will be too
grave to be good company.
Another, whose forefinger alone
points downward, is by profession
teacher-possibly preacher. The same
man, when listening intently, will have
habit of resting the finger on his
temple. r

the man Of judgment, combined in the
right and left hands, respectively. de-

"a man who |. accustomed to weigh
point and lay it down As his dictum.
The forefinger and second finger, if
seen hanging down close together,
might denote the judges clerk, whose
business leads him to turn over papers
with q hand constantly ready for the
pen.
The average man Of all classes walks
with his fist half doubled. Marked char
acteristics are in his case unusual, or
too undeveloped to be demonstrated by
the fingers in this way.
This instance might be brought for
ward in corroboration Of the theory ad-
by professors OF palmistry, who
'ay that the seat Of the will lies in the
thumb.-Pearson's.
