LAWS OF kAFFIRS.
A Widow May Marry Her Deceased Illus.
 bands Brother

bands Brother
 The duties of husband and wife are distinctly defined among the kafilfs or South Africa The husband does not expect his wife to build the kraal, or hut. That is his work. It takes from five hundred to a thousand young trees to make the beehive kind of dWe Ing which is in favor and WhicA .S excel lently adapted for protection. When the husband has erected the hut it IS the wife's place to cut grass, carry 1t home. and thatch the kraal once a year. She looks after all that is naGG- ed ill the hut, cooks the food gets the tirewood, and makes the beer, which is not a small task, for the men drink it in immense quantities. It is made from millet and mealies, and is mild but intoxic2 ng. Until stite recently everything was carried oA the head. A Zulu woman will carr 200 pounds of mealies in this fashion. When kaffir was first seen cari ing a load by the hand instead of on his head, the Dutch thought it a dangerous imita- tion of European ft4hiOn. Women have so far asserted themselves as to refuse to hoe the mea ies for planting, but they will weed. \ woman goes about with her baby tied on her back, while she rocks herself and croons to it. When man dies his widow may, if she chooses, become the wife of his brother. She stays at the kraal, and all the children, including those of the new marriage, are held to belong to her eldest son, who takes his fathers place as guardian, and has the privil ege of using, supposedly for the com- mon good, all the wages of the young CT sons. It thus sometimes happens that little boy is head over his mother and older sisters. If the widow does not choose to marry the brother, but takes another husband, she loses all control of her children, who stay in their fathers kraal.-Youth's Com panion.

A TRUE INCIDENT.
Pet Pigeon Recognizes Lady Benofactor
 the Street.

the Street.
 On the top floor of one of Boston's highest apartment houses lives lady who loves all Gods creatures. She has long been in the habit of feeding the sparroWs and pigeons who fly to the little balcony before her window. She not only feeds them, but takes time to get acquainted with them as well. and in consequence one particular pigeon became quite a pet, eating out of her hand, and was al- ways called by the one pet name. One day as the lady was passing down Park street not far from her home her attention was attracted by flock of pigeons in the street, and to her surprise one left the others and flattered to her very feet, where she recognized her pet pigeon, and as she called the familiar name it eyinced every sign of pleasure and recognition possible for 3 pigeon. How wonderful that in all that passing throng the pigeon should recognize it's benefae- tor, and dc you think there could ex- ist a keener pleasure than that enjoyed by this kild woman in the simple gseetiDg cf a pigeon Boston Journal.

EARTH'S DRYEST SPOT.
Regions of Greatest and Least Rain in
 the World.

A place on the coast of Peru about 3o0 miles south of the equator, known as Payta, is supposed to be the dryest spot on the face of the earth. The average interval between showers at Payta is seven years. When Professor Falrchild visited the place in February there had been, some time before. dflzzle lasting from 10 o'clock one evening till noon the next day. This was the first rain that had fallen in eight years. The opposite side of the world furnishes the counterpart to this almost rainless region. 1t is among the hills of Assam, where the eleva- tions eondense the moisture brought by the south monsoon and pour a del= 4ge upon the Cherajonji station of the Indian government The annual mean rainfall there is about 620 inches. and in the exceptional year of 1851 it amounted to 790 inches Nowhere else does the tropical doWnpeuf equal that which deseends upon this district among the Khasia hills. The rains be- gin in March and continue almost steadily till the middle of November. That part of the plains adjoining the rivers is under water for eight months every year. During this period there is no communication, even between neighborins villages, and to this en- forced isolation is attributed the fact that there are considerable differences Of language among the people of neigh boring hamlets who undoubtedly. at one time, spoke the same language Their swan4ps and quagmires keep them apart.-NeW York Sun.

Ago of Big Tree..

Referring to the age of tho big trees of California. Prof. C. F. Bessy records in Science" that he once counted witL much care the rings of grow til of the tree of which the stump constitutes the floor of the so-calleG dancing pa yilion. This count was made from cir conference to center, and every ring in all that distance was countel. nG estimates or guesses being made The result was that ,147 rings were count ed and accordingly it is safe to say that this tree, which was fully twenty four or twenty-five feet in diameter and considerably more than 300 feet in height, acquired these dimensions in 1,147 years. Prof. Bessy doubts wheth. CT any Of the existing trees approach the age of 1000 years.

IFI HAD GIFTS 70 BRING.

II were King of Fairyland
And had the right to say
How blessings should be passed around
Down here, from day to day
II might give to each and all
Whatever gifts chose
What should 1 give, my little boy.
To you, do you suppose?
Not heaps of gold nor mighty ships
To sail the ocean blue,
Not wealth to make of other boys
The hired slaves of you
But rudy cheeks for sparkling eyes,
A laugh that had the ring
OF honest pleasure in it, and
A heart for anything!
II were King of Fairyland,
With none to say me nay,
o, little girl, what think you
Should bring to you to-day?
Nay, I should bring across the sea
From some knight-ridden strand
No mincing little "nobleman"
To ask you for your hand!
would not raise up castle walls
Where you should be the Queen,
But 1 would let you play with dolls.
Still artless and serene;
And would put within your heart
The everlasting grace
That lifts woman out and leaves
An angel in her place.
