LIFE AND LOVE BOTH
CHEAP In THE CAUCASUS

gathered from a case in point which
has just taken place in Sosslambek.
Bokayef is the bridegroom's name,
and Neshkho that of the girl of sweet
sixteen who had the misfortune to find
favor in his eyes. His pockets being
empty he persuaded three comrades to
kidnap the maid, whom he then took
of to another village as his wife
But her father, on discovering her
whereabouts, had her sent back by the
police, and then demanded $3.50 for
loss of her services, as we should say.
Bokayeff, to whom the demand was
made, would not or could not pay. The
girls father thereupon claimed that
sum from the bridegroom's com
panions, who are equally liable. They
admitted the justice of his claim and
called up Bokayeff to hand over the
sum to them. On his refusal they shot
him dead, that being the custom of the
country, although daggers are also al
lowed to take the place of bullets.

A well-executed group found by the

to-day. Beside the coffin was a sailing
boat, the numerous sailors assuming
the attitude necessary for hosting the

in characteristic poses, were using
poles vigorously over the sides.
In another tomb we're found models
Of a number of warships. In the bow
of one, by the side of the lookout,
stood negro sailor, bow and arrow in
hand. In the tomb of Antef, a courtier,
the boats had double steering cars. In
one boat were seated two men un Ter

The opening of each tomb was re-
corded by photography, as the excava-
ton proceeded step by step, 450 neg

In the northern Caucasus nearly half
the death rate of the inhabitants is
caused by vendetta, and at least three
fcurths of the vendetta cases are the
result of a curious marriage custom

wishes to take unto himself a wife
cannot arrange the matter in the sim
pie offhand manner in vogue in west
ern Europe by popping the question. +"
He must go home, sell his belong

delivering his lecture at the Royal In
stitution of London, is perhaps the

ayers upon tnem. The gambler at

But the young men only laughed and
told him to keep quiet; that it was just

gossip and enjoy his discontinue, as
he felt himself slowly boiling away.

to be so extremely uncomfortable

California of the delegates to the Pres.

was one of those on the first section,
but her train started and left her be-
hind, and she was taken up by the
second section. Some of her friends
cut out this motto from a newspaper
