BRIDES AT AUCTION.
A Strange Custom Practiced in
the Far East.

Within half dozen miles OF Simla,
the summer capital of India, there is
annually practiced one of the strangest
of the many strange customs which OBJ
tain in the East. This is known as the
annual marriage fair of the hill tribes,
and is one of the most important of all
the festivals.
You might imagine that the origin
of this institution was to get husbands
for all the unattractive females. 10
the contrary. however. the marriage
able maidens are usually more than
commonly handsome and well formed,
though they are so scented with garlic
that Europeans might incline to the
opinion that distance lends enchant-
ment.
They wear the most brilliantly col
ored of costumes-deep pinks, priml-
tive greens, and glaring yellows, which
are all in keeping with the gorgeous
tints one only sees beneath the Orlen-
tai sun. In accord, too, is the Thinking
of the silver bangles which they wear
round their ankles.
They wear but the fimslest of wells,
through which their brilliant, black
eyes, with heavy jet line dyed be-
neath them. CLEAN coquettlshly.
To within quite recent times these
maidens were openly sold to their future
husbands: but during the lasttew years
the commercial part of the ceremony
has carefully been kept in the back
ground.

A Second Solomon.

The mayor of Wilkesbarre, Pa, is
making reputation as a second Solo
mon. The other day two women were
before him for the purpose of having
settled some disagreement between
them. Both wanted to talk at the same
time, and each tried to talk louder
than the other. After suffering under
the verbal cross-fire for half an hour
the mayor ordered the two women
locked in the same room until they
had fully expressed themselves. " Al
the end of three hours the women had
quit talking, and not only that but
they had themselves made up their
difference and came out of the room
the best of friends.

The Farmers Are in the Saddle.

For the first time in years the cotton
farmer within reach OF roudlap bale
plant finds himself Independent of com
presses and bagging and tie men, who
have grown rich out of the monopoly
they have enjoyed ofcovering and com
pressing his cotton. Besides enabling
him to sell his cotton in roundlap bales
at premium which, after paying the
baling charge leaves him handsome
profit, the competition aroused by the
presence of a round bale plant compels
square bale buyers to advance their
limits. How much of the higher prices
paid last fall was due to this compete
ton patrons of roundlap plants know.

Fire.
From the Eufaula Times.
The GEORGETOWN depot caught fire
yesterday afternoon at about half past
one o'clock from sparks from freight
engine near by, and being as dry as
finder was soon all in flames. There
was no baggage in the station and all
the movable property was removed
unhurt. However, it was impossible to
check the fire, and the whole building
was destroyed. Telegraphic communi-
cation was interrupted for short while
but the wires were soon rugged up
again. A box car on a side track Is
serving as a depot and ticket office at
present and will have TO suffice until a
new structure can be erected.

Which Are the Latin Races.

Which Are the Latin Races.
Chicago Tribune: Weary of the
assumption Of Anglo-Saxon super
iority, or else tired Of seeing
France classed among the Latin
races, Alfred Fouillee has written
an article in the Revue DIES Deux
Mondes to prove that there really
no Latin. race. The various
nations called Latin have a COM
munity Of religious traditions,
classic culture and love Of arts, he
admits, but the differences Of tenn
permanent and character are. pro-
found and due to Astrological rea-
sons. France is only Latin in
tongue and some Of its traditions,
being actually half Celtic, one
quarter Germanic and the rest
Mediterranean or Latin mixed
with other aces. In other words,
he says skulls with black hair pre-
dominate in France, and these be-
token Celtic origin, while the
blondes are more numerous than
the browns of Latin traits. In
Spain the dominant type is the
brown of the Latin race, and this
nation is the purest in it's Latin
descent. As for Italy, its inhabi-
tants are a melange Of the many
races that have overrun the PENN
sula-Gauls, Spaniards, Greeks,
Cloths, Asiatics, Egyptians, Afri-
cans, Lombards, Slavs, Normans
and Saracens. seek in that
melee a Latin race!" exclaims M.
Fouillee. The point made by the
writer is that the decadence of
"pretended" Latin races, so much
talked of by Anglo-Saxons, does
not rest on scientific foundations,
for the Latin race cannot be de-
cadent if there is no Latin race
M. Fouillee's disclaimer is ingen-
ious, but there is no installing the
resemblance in character and tenn
permanent between the people OF
Southern Europe and the differ
ence between them and the people
of the north.
