The past week has been another dry one, only light
showers having fallen at scattered places, mostly IN the
western part of the state. The entire month Of May just
passed has been an unusually dry one, but so has the entire
season. At Bismarck the rainfall for May only amounted
to .O4 of an inch, the least ever recorded, while all the pre-
cipitation since the LIST of January only measures l.55 inch.
At other stations of the service the rainfall during May
was: Portal, Ward county, 40; Woodbridge, Cavalier, .o5;
Devils Lake, Ramsey, 10; Buxton, Trail, IL; Ganatin,
Griggs, 49,; Melville, Foster, trace; Fargo, Cass, .9s;
Jamestown, *Stutsnan, 10; Steele, Kidder, trace; Wahpe-
ton, Richland, 80; Edgeley, LaMoure, Is; Napoleon,
Logan, 20; Coal Harbor, Mclean, .3S; Dickinson, Stark,
90; New England City, Stark, .06, and Lar1more, Grand
Forks, II of an inch. ~ $50
While crops are much in need Of moisture, still they
have stood the drouth very well, and no great damage has
been done, although on high and sandy soil they are begin
ming to turn color, and there has been no growth OF conse-
quence during. the past two weeks, but a good heavy rain
would bring them forward rapidly, as they are, as a rule,
well rooted.
~ Some fax yet remains to be sown, but in most sections
none will be put in until a rain comes to sprout the seed.
Late sown grain, as well as most of the corn, has not
terminated yet, or where it has, is coming up very thin
and uneven. Grass is suffering more than grain, and in
most places, is dying out and turning brown. - d

cording to ancient custom. And the
 choosing of the day, by the way is all
 that the bride has to say about the
 marriage. The crier also, a few days
 later, calls out the dowry of the bride, and proclaims her charms aloud in the
 market place. Sc all the population is
 notified, and a goodly crowd of admir- CTS gather to take their chance for the
 fair lady. The near relatives of the bride and the contestants-who have previously given their names in to the. father of the girl-and crowd of per- 1 haps o1le hundred persons, if the young , woman is the daughter of a man of inn portance, gather to see the show. |.
 "On the morning of the marriage the bride is taken out by her maids and crowned with lilies, and clad in white.
 Then, with much drum beating she Is led forth and passes among the euitors, and kisses each in turn. Then she Is wreathed with more flowers, and is seated to watch the fun.
 "NoW, on that island of Sulu they have a kind of ant that puzzles the sci- entists, for it has double set of man. diples, one above and one below the head, and both entirely independent in action. These ants play leading part in the marriage ceremony. The night before the ceremony the village priest goes out by the light of the moon and opens an ant hill with secret rites, and carefully selects some ants equal in number to the number of suitors. These are kept with care.
 After the bride has kissed all the suitors in turn they go out to the hut where the ants are kept. The priest is there, and he takes an ant by the body and allows it to fasten the lower man dible to the forefinger of the right hand of young man. These ants are about an inch and a half long and have the most ferocious bite you can imagine. Then. each suitor with an ant hanging to his forefinger, the young men go back to the presence of the pride. Then there are long and elaborate rites, while the young men go around and dance before the bride, each with a monstrous ant hanging to his finger. Then she is blindfolded. and the young men are lined up for the selection.
 "The drums are beaten with renewed vigor and the bride goes along the line of the suitors and inserts her foreflnger in the upper mandible of the ants that hang to the fingers of the suitors, each in turn. The first ant that closes his pincer on the digit of the fair lady | wins her for the man to whose finger it | is hanging. Then the chosen bride | groom strikes the ant to the ground | and crushes it with his heel, and in | comes the priest and marries Che cou- pie. Afterward the ants that have | been used in the ceremony are taken out and cooked and portior~ is given | to each guest to be eaten like the we'd | ding cake in civilized lands. Denver | Republican.
