MARRIAGE AMONG sAvAeES.

Peculiar Customs That Prevail with
Australian Aborigines.
chronological experts agree that with
most Australian tribes every woman is
betrothed in infancy, or even in an
ticipation of her birth. According to
some mysterious law of their own this
lily, the women having no voice in the
matter. The age of the proposed hus-
bands is not taken into consideration,
SO that it frequently happens that by
the time the girl is of a manageable
age her intended is an old man. If in
the meantime some younger man has
set his heart upon her this means a
fight, in which the unfortunate bride
to-be, as she is dragged away, is GER
tain to come in for a share of the
blows which the rival suitors deal out
to each other.
In some of the coast districts, where
not all the girls are promised in in
fancy, the betrothal of young woman
to a man who follows the occupation
of a fisherman compels her to lose the
left hand. This slow and painful oper-
alton is performed by a stout string
bound tightly about the joint-an en-
gagement ring with which one would
willingly dispense, A marriage license
equally unique, is common in some
sections. where the chief gives to the
prospective groom a peculiarly knot
ted string, possessing which he is free
to seek the wife of his choice.-Wom-
ans Home Companion.

A STUDENT OF WAR.

Hsa.h of jean de Bloch Recalls ms
Services to Peace.
ii is still f->o early to estimate how
far civilization has been advanced by
the life work of Jean de Bloch, the
Russian writer whose death at War
saw was announced the other day
Practically throughout NJ Bloch's ac-
tive life he was devoted to the study
of the science of war, its methods, its
causes and its political s~d economic
ELECTS His study of military equip
ments and methods led him to the be-
lief that war. always a horrible thing,
must be infinitely more terrible in the
future; that, in fact, war was becom-
ing so deadly that first-class powers
could no longer resort to it, opposing
armies being unable to exist within
striking distance of each other. His
moral convictions led him to evolve
a plan for international arbitration.
The Car, who had been strongly i'm
pressed with NJ. Bloch's pictures of
war, virtually accepted this plan in
outlining his call for the peace confer
ence at The Hague. That conference
writer's in the twelfth century men
toned the pastime and described the
skate then in use as the brisket bone
of an OK fastened to the sole of the
foot and bound around the ankle,
while the person thus mounted pushed
himself along the ice by means of an
iron-shod stick. And it is said that in
the museum at Cambridge, as well as
in the British museum, there are bones
thus ground for use as skates. Later
came the wooden frame, with an iron
or steel runner. This was some time
in the fourteenth century. In the six
failed signally to bring any lasting as
surances of peace, but for the influence
M. Bloch exercised in bringing it about
as well as for his contributions to the
entire subject of international relations
he will be long remembered.

as the procession of the bridegroom ap-

women and children look on from

yelled, mounts the horse awaiting her
at the door All the men who have
been Toasted and entertained join in
the procession. in which lanterns are
borne The brides departure is the
signal for the discharge of fireworks
and a great beating of the big drum.
The final ceremony is similar to one
observed by the Arabs and the CoptS,
namely, the sacrifice of sheep. These
are killed as the bride steps over the
threshold of her new home. One won
