The marriage customs of the Ne
gulos are peculiar The young man
who seeks a 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 a 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 shell 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 a kiss or a bump,
according to the force used. This
makes them man and wife.-The
Forum.

eArrLe Ar r4s AauARIuM.
Mr.. Grab Was Game, But, Like Fiiz.
simmons, Went out Of His Glass.

There were placed recently in the
lobster and crab tank at the Aquar-
ium eleven lobster, a lively lot of
medium and small sizes, that have
proved strong attraction. The lob
ster is an interesting creature any
way, and likely to be especially so to
anybody not familiar with them as
they appear in nature; and besides
Holsters, and crabs, too, for that mat
ter, are inclined to be scrappy as well
as lively, and the visitors like that.
Sometimes two Holsters, meeting. put
up their big claws to each other like
boxing gloves; and sometimes crab
and lobster meet and have a little
set-to.
Here. for illustration, is a good, siz-
able, vigorous blue crab walking along
on the bottom of the tank, close by
the glass in front A lobster comes
along the same path from the other
direction, and they meet at the centre,
with as many persons as can see the
tank looking on. Neither gives way.
The crab is the smaller. but not bit
afraid. Crab swings with right, but
fails to land, the blow falling short.
Lobster hops one big claw overland
and lands on top of crab shell, right
in the centre, midway between the
eyes, and pins him down to the sand.
Crab waves his claw wildly with an
effort to get in on lobster, but can't
| touch him.
Hold him off, old man. hold him
on. says an enthusiastic spectator.
Don't let him get inside your guard.
II you do you're a goner"
And the lobster does hold him off,
| for maybe a minute, and then lifts his
heavy claw. Crab is game by nature
/ but in this particular instance he
| turns and goes the other way, realiz.
| ing that he is fighting out of his class
| Often, however, the lobster will turn
out for the crab. The crab always ap
| pears to be resolute and self-reliant
| It goes right along as If 1t owned the
| bottom, whereas sometimes when a
lobster meets a crab it seems to be
thrown off its guard, and it jumps
back, though the crab may be only
half as big as itself. Then it is pos
slble to see the manner in which the
lobster habitually jumps, which is
diagonally upward and backward, tai
first He makes quick, nervous Leaf
of two or three times his own length
the crab meanwhile keeping on along
the bottom quite unruiiled.
Here may be seen, in some measure
at least. the manner in which the lob
ster secludes itself for safety If 4
hides in a crevice in the rocks it al
ways backs in, so that it's big claws
its weapons, are in front.-N Y. Sun

The Republican convention at
Philadelphia last week did its work
well. There was no doubt about
the head of the ticket but the sec
ond place occasioned some lively ef-
forts on the part of the politicians.
The choice as finally and unani-
mously made was a happy issue
from all complications and places a
man conspicuous by public service
both as civilian and a gallant SOL
der on the ticket. 1t is a combine
ton which cannot be beaten, because
it commands the confidence of the
country.

Many secular papers have gravely
announced that the recent General
Conference did away with our intin-
Grant system. Some fairly intelli-
gent Methodists seem to have receiv-
ed like impression, Not so. The
itineracy remains. Every Methodist
Episcopal minister will come up to
the conference for his annual ap-
pointment. He will be appointed
for one year at a time. Most min
listers will move as frequently as
they have moved, and many more
So. A very few will remain more
than five years, and one here and
there more than ten years. The
new plan will have the advantages
both of the itineracy and the settled
pastorat1. 1t is almost infinitely su-
perior to the settled pastorate, in that
it will furnish a medium between the
church and the minister (the bish-
ops cabinet), by which removals
may be made without faction and
heart burnings and factIonal con-
tests in local churches. And the old
claim will still hold good that ev-
cry church will have a pastor, and
every pastor a church
