A sInguInr MarrIage cu.tom.

The Kurds have a very curious and
somewhat dangerous marriage custom.
which one would think would be more
honored In the breach than in the OBJ
servance. The husband. surrounded by
a bodyguard of twenty or thirty young
men, carries his wife home on his back
in scarlet cloth and is desperately as
saulted the whole way by a number Of
girls.
Sticks and stones are h-iled at the
bridegroom, who. in the G ming home
with his bride, can hardly lie consider
ed a very happy man, for the irate
amazons often infict on him marks
which he carries to the grave. 1t may
be that among the lady pursuers are
some of the bridegroom's former
flames" who turn the mock attack
into downright earnest to avenge
slighted love.

KOmsn's CIub's Extraordinary Effort

This month Tennessee club women
inaugurate an extraordinary enterprise
among the isolated and ignorant
mountaineers of the State 1t is really
the beginning of a social settlement
along novel lines, the spot selected be
ing Walkers Valley, where, besides
Polygamistic Walker and his two
wives. live thirty families whose sole
inheritance is unspeakable shiftless-
ness. Only one member of the whole
colony. in fact, is able to read, writes
Bertha DAmaris Knobe, in The Pill
grim. for July.
The regeneration of this peculiarly
retarded people is to be undertaken by
the Tennessee Federation of WOmens
Clubs. which has at its head Mrs.
Charles A. Perkins. Of Knoxville
Through the social settlement commit
tee logs and nails were secured from
one source, pictures and furniture
from others. so that a cabin of two
rooms is now in readiness and, with a
competent teacher, these neglected ma
tlves are to have an opportunity to
"larn." TO use the vernacuiar of the
neighborhood.
The colossal ignorance of the Ten
nessee mountaineer. who is a moon
sinner by training if not instinct, who
raises a little corn to grind by hand in
a stone mill. while his spouse weaves
a "kiver" at the loom. furnishes a rich
field for the courageous clubwoman.
Somewhat of the state things may be
cleaned from the remark of a little
Walkers Valley girl who, displaying a
row of six books, one Of the travelling
Libraries sent out by the federation,
proudly said to visitor, Reckon
has bout one OF every kind that's
made" Walkers Valley. moreover. is
twenty-six miles from a railway and
seven miles from Tuclaleechee Cove.
which. it may be mentioned, is one Of
the jumping-off places in the Tennee-
see mountains.
SO these are the people who are to
be taught the wdiments at this social
settlement It is part of the plan that
old and young alike shall be instructed
in reading and writing. the women
shown how to sew. cook. and keep
house-in short. how to live-while
the cabin. cheaply but tastefully ap-
pointed. is intended to serve as an OBJ
iect-iesson to these inmates of un-
kempt homes.
Indeed. there is no doubt that this
unique work will develop as success
fully in Tennessee, backed as it is by
the best women. as it has in the last
three years in Kentucky under the
