Matrimony In Gilbert Islands.

Women of the Gilbert islands being
merely regarded as cattle or any other
property, writes Arthur Inkersley in
The Overland Monthly, the matrimoni-
al knot is easily tied and just as easily
united. If a man fancies a girl, he
seizes her by the hair of the head,
wherever she may be, despite her pro-
testations, and drags her away to his
home. Her resistance is not often seri-
Gus, the pretense of refusal being due
to the coquettishness inherent in the
sex. When the couple reach the house
of the groom. wedding feast is fur
nished forthwith, to which all the i'm
mediate friends of the bride and bride
groom are invited. But an acceptance
of the invitation implies the contribu-
ton Of some viands to the entertain
ment. Matrimony is attended by no
further ceremony than this. When a
husband grows weary Of his wife. he
simply orders her to leave him. and If
she does not he turns her out Of doors.

The Engiishman ana his order.

The EngliAhman and His Order.
An Englishman at a Chicago hotel
ordered trap. He ordered 1t OF an In
telligcnt looking key clerk behind the
desk. Then he went up stairs to his
room to prepare himself for the drive.
He waited half an hour for the an.
nouncement that the vehicle was be-
low. He began to wonder II this was
an example of the American hustle
whose reputation had crossed tho At
lantic.
Presently came knock on the door.
"Come In" babe the Englishman.
Entered mechanical looking man in
his shirt sleeves.
4 Where's the holeT' was his question.
( "Hole?" queried the Englishman. II
wanted a trap"
"Here 1t is" said the toiler, "and it'll
catch that mouse sure"
The Englishman's mouth opened in
establishment. Mouse! What do you
mean? Who are you, anyhow"
"T'm the hotel carpenter, sir, and I've
brought up the trap you ordered!
The Englishman glared. Then it pen
etrated his Saxon wits, and he reared
He gave the carpenter half dollar
and swore the joke for once was on
America.

Showing the Queer.

The game of counterfeiting in this
country is played by people of all ma.
tionalities, and, although some women
and children are used as tools, men
take the principal parts. After having
made the coin the great problem is how
to convert it into good money. The
maker rarely takes part in that opera
ton. 1t is the business Of gangs, which
consist usually of two persons, known
as the ~holder" and the shower"
The holder carries a stock of the
counterfeit money, and the shower has
one piece. This he takes to store or a
saloon and buys something for a small
amount, and when he comes into the
street the holder sees him from his po-
sition block away, joins him, receives
the good money and hands him another
counterfeit.
The object is to work so that the
shower, if detected, may plead inno-
cence and prove that the piece is the
only one that he has and that he has no
other money. Some clever operators
60 SO far as to mix good coin with the
bad.

The Military Salute.

All salutes, from taking off the hat
to presenting arms, originally implied
respect or submission. Of military sa-
lutes, raising the right hand to the
head is generally believed to have orig
mated from the days of the tourna-
ment, when the knights filed past the
throne of the queen of beauty and, by
way of compliment, raised their hands
to their brows to imply that her beau
ty was too dazzling for unshaded eyes
to gaze upon. .a.
The officers salute with the sword
has a double meaning. The first posi-
ton, with the hilt opposite the lips,
is a repetition of the crusaders action
in kissing the cross hilt of his sword
in token of faith and fealty, while low
ering the point afterward implies Ell
ther submission or friendship, meaning
in either case that it is no longer nee
essary to stand on guard. Raising the
hand to the forehead has also been ex-
planned as a sign that the weaponed
hand is empty and in an inoffensive po-
sition, but this reason does not seem
so convincing as the others.

It is an interesting sight to watch the
outlaw at his evening toilet. To begin
with, instead of sitting up with his
large, fiat, ribbed tail protruding be-
hind him, he tucked it forward between
his hind legs and sat upon it. Then
with his hand he carefully combed his
long hair, using both hands at the same
time. There were many places, how
ever, that could not be reached in this
way, for his arms are very short and
his body very large, SO he combed these
otherwise, inaccessible places with his
hind feet, using first one and then the
other. The entire operation was per-
formed with the utmost deliberation
and care and occupied more than a
quarter Of an hour, SO that by the time
it was completed daylight had almost
vanished.
My presence did not appear to dis
turb him in the least, though I sat on
the ground within three feet Of him
that 1 might the better note his various
attitudes, for it is not often one has
an opportunity Of watching beaver at
such close range.-Everybody's Maya
zine.

rAos1ux m n Model.

A curiops feature of models occu-
patton Ia her posing for an artist who
is painting some one else. Wealthy
people are capricious and often do not
care to give long sittings. Therefore,
after the artist has caught the express
sion Of the face, he will call in model
to pose for the figure. Some models
do not care to do this, as part of their
enjoyment Of their occupation consists
in seeing themselves reproduced on
canvas, but there are others who are
quite willing to help fill out.
= Various models have various points
Of excellence, and often painter will
employ at different stages In the prog
ress of his work from three to four
models for one figure on his canvas.
One model is known for her coloring.
another for her hands, another for her
hair. An artist generally notes in his
address book the characteristics Of a
model after her name. These quota
lions are taken at random from an
artists address book: "Fine young
Jewess," English, tall and slim, blond.

Virtue Of the Ma6a.

Among the Malta "onesta" is the
great virtue. This virtue is said to be
possessed by those who never under
any circumstances help the authorities
by giving information, not even of
crimes of which they may be the vic
tins. To give information is to forfeit
all honor, to become a "cascittuni," or
spy.
This feeling which underlies the Ma
fla, which is not old, but was born in
Sicily at the beginning of the nine
teenth century, is due to the Unborn
hatred which the Sicilian has for gov
eminent. Any interference Of the au-
thorities in his private affairs he re-
CARDS with jealousy and distrust. In
his sight a man who calls on the au-
thorities for anything is vile. He be-
lieves in settling private differences
privately, either by fair fight or muir
der.
No matter what q member Of the
Malta may suffer, he will never inform.
If he RECEIVERS from an injury, he will
avenge himself If he can, and If he
cannot he blames no one and would
scorn to even take the authorities into
his confidence. A Sicilian proverb
runs, eff live, will kill you; if die,
forgive you"

The Prayer Before Getty.burg.

The Prayer Before Gettysburg.
General Daniel Sickles told a story
illustrating the tenderness Of President
Lincoln's heart as well as his faith in
Providence and his beautiful optimism.
After Sickles had been wounded at
Gettysburg he was removed to Wash
ington, and the president called on him
at the hospital. When the general
described the battle and the awful
slaughter, "Lincoln wept like a child"
