days will complete the Theory in Flo

member is to read selection before

applause they received there remains
no doubt as to whether they were en-
joyed by the class.
During the past week Prof. Bergen
has been teaching the boys OF the
Geometry class the use of surveyors
instruments and some of the practical
applications of geometry. SO far the
work has been confined to measuring
the inclination of the neighboring
streets, but it is hoped that the boys
will become sufficiently skilled so that
more complicated work may follow.
This actual application of geometry
gives partial insight to what might
be accomplished by thorough study
Of it. The boys highly appreciate
Prof. Bergens efforts, and hope that
his time spent in this work will not be
spent in vain.

From some unknown cause, the
large barn and adjoining stables of
Wagner Bros. living eight miles from
Churchs Ferry, caught fire late Satur-
day night, and together with its con-
tents, was entirely consumed by the
flames.
7 At the time of the fire twenty-three
horses were housed in the stables and
all of them persisted, as the fire had
made such Roadway when discovered,
that twas impossible to enter the
buildings without risk Of life. Six
teen or eighteen sets Of harnesses, 300
bushels Of grain and a quantity of
farming implements were also de-
stroyed. The loss on, buildings and
stock will aggregate 81, 900 to IS, 900,
with insurance unknown.
No plausible cause for the, origin of
the fire can be a%scertained and it is
surmised that it is the work of fire
bugs.

MARRIAGE AMONG AUSTRALIAN sAr4GEs

Ethnological experts agree that with most Aus
traian tribes every woman is betrothed IN infancy
or even in anticipation of her birth. According TO
some mysterious law or their own this is arranged
by the old men Of the family the women having
no voice in the matter The age Of the proposed
husband is not taken into consideration so that
1t frequently happens that by the time the girl is
OF marriageable age her intended is an old man.
II IN the mean time some younger man has set
MS heart upon her this a Aght IN which
the unfortunate bride-to-be as she is dragged
away is certain to in for a share OF the blows
"IIlch the rival suitors deal out each other.
IN some or the coast districts where NOT all the
g glris are promised in infancy. the betrothal OF a
young woman TO a man who follows the occupation
or a fisherman compels her to lose the first Iont Of
the little hnger OF the left hand. This slow and
palnfuI operation is performed by stout string
bound tightly about the joint-an engagement ring
win winch one would willingly dispense! A mar
rage incense equally uniqu3 is common in some
sections where the chief gives to the prospective
bridegroom peculiarly knotted string possessinR 2
which he Is free seek the wife OF his choice .
