Matrtmouy In Gilbert I.l.na,.

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 Prayer Before Getty.burs.

General Daniel Sickles told a story
Illustrating the tenderness of President
Lincoln's heart as we'll 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
ct the. hospital When the general
described the battle and the awful
slaughter, Lincoln wept like a child"
while the two armies were converg-
ing said Lincoln, II went into my
room and prayed as never prayed be
fore. / told God that if we were to
win the battle he must do it, for l had
done all that could. went from my
room with a great load lifted from my
shoulders, and from that moment I
never had doubt as to the result. We
shall hear good news from Grant, who
has been pounding away at Vicksburg
for so many months. l am in a pro-
phetic mood today, Sickles, and 1 say
that you will get WELL"
1.-THE doctors do not say So"
II don't care, Sickles, you will get
WELL" persisted the president.
And that afternoon, General Sickles
goes on to say, a telegram was receiv-
ed from General Grant announcing the
fall of yicksburg. His own recovery
soon followed.

Virtue of the Malta.

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 "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
bis 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. Ms
No matter what a member Of the
Malta may suffer, he will never inform.
If he RECEIVERS from an injury, he will
avenge himself if he can, and IL he
cannot he blames no one and would
scorn to even take the authorities into
his confidence. A Sicilian proverb
runs, eff live, viii kill you: if die.
l forgive you"
