MARRIAGE IN TUNIS.

TFrom the Pictorial MagaZineJ
The marriageable girl in Tunis has
a trying ordeal to go through after her
betrothal to the man not of her choice,
but whose choice she Is. She has to be
fattened to the required size before the
ceremony can take place. AS soon as
the betrothal takes place she is taken
to a room and there cooped up till the
fattening process is concluded. Silver
shackles are fastened round her wrists
and ankles. and the task of her parents
and future husband is to increase her
bulk till her wrists and ankles I'LL up

widower or has discharged" his first
wife the girl has the shackles OF the
first spouse placed on her. and she must
I'LL them out 1t takes a long time to
do this, as a rule, and sometimes it can
not be accomplished in spite of all eff
forts. 1t is then open to the future
husband to cry OF the bargain or waive
the condition In the case of bachelor
he takes care to see that the bracelets
and ankles are not too large-that Is, II
he is fond of the girl-but il he is being
forced into the marriage by his parents,

girls are more quickly snapped up in

condition of the woman question. and
as it sketches Paris and London with
the desired and telling strokes of the
impressionist, SO it places the state of
the woman question in France before
the reader. Brochures, dry and statis-

what artistic acumen is she put as the
leader of the woman's cause.

Mcclure, Phillips & Co. announce the

Platt, OBVIOUSLY working his will

the athlete in politics, every portrait

ABOUT FORGOTTEN BOOKS.
How Work of Authors Has Been Ig-
nored for Years.

About forgotten books, William s. Walsh
writes in the Era Magazine:
The world, we have been assured time
and again, knows nothing of it's greatest
men. Perhaps it is equally ignorant about
it's greatest books. Are quite sure that
the idols in literary pantheon are ar
rayed in their due order of precedence?
The rules OF precedence change, and who
shall assert that those prevalent at any
given time are the final ones? But above
all, are we quite certain that there may
not be notable work of genius lying I'M
noticed and unknown amid the wrecks of
the river of time.-waiting only for some
lucky accident that shall reveal it in its
beauty to astonished world?
Such accidents with such results have
been frequent in the history of the past

have revealed to the world insignifi-

The books of the Bible themselves have
experienced the narrowest escapes from
what might have resulted in their total
loss. The most notable example is that of
Deuteronomy, which disappeared from the
Jewish world for century. The
story of it's rediscovery by the high priest
Hezekiah during the reign of good King
Josiah is set forth in the Old Testament.
Shakespeare was practically forgotten in
the days when Addison wrote his '.Ac
count of the Greatest English Poets"
with never mention of the name of the
very greatest. Yet it was very shortly af-
forwards that Shakespeare was resusci-
tated.
