treating" to drinks has fallen largely into
disuse. Common sense is against it, and
a better conception of social propriety
prevails. Even in private houses,
at dinners, for example, the amount
OF drinking has diminished. The long
list Of wines once furnished al every con-
siderable dinner has been replaced by
very small variety, and the time con-
sumed in formal dining has been reduced
greatly.
New customs, advancing civilization,

any law of any State can accomplish.

THE CANNIBAl TREE.

cannibal tree grows up in shape
like huge pineapple, and seldom
attains a height Of more than IL
feet IL has a series Of broad,
beardlike leaves, growing like a
fringe at the apex, which reminds
one of gigantic Central Ameri-
can apex. When standing erect
these broad, thick leaves hide q

LOCAL OPTION.
Great Progress Of Temperance in
Some States.

A tidal wave of local option is
sweeping over Virginia, Teunes-
see, North Carolina, Georgia and
Texas. After years of contest and
after repeated efforts to carry en-
tire state for prohibition, the pol
icy seems a settled one to adopt
local option. Years ago this WAS
not feared LY the liquor men, for
its beginning was ia the rura! dis
tricts. Local option measures were
then secured without opposition.
But when these measures began to
cover large portion Of the territory
of given states, alarm was raised
in the camps of the liquor legions.
More than one half of the territory
of Alabama is covered by prohibit
tory laws by means of churches
and schools procuring prohibition
for a radius of several miles about
each of the institutions. Texas
and Virginia have local option
laws by which they enter into a
contest in a given beat, town, city
or county for the adjustment of
strong drink. In Texas the laws
are SO rigidly enforced that pas
sengers are unable to purchase
even bottle of beer from the buff
fets of the sleeping cars. EX.

Marriage CEREMONY

Hsw the Native selects a Bride-The
Marriage Ceremony.
The Eskimo gentleman never selects
a wife in his own village. As soon as
he is able TO make living for family
he goes into a neighboring village and
falls in a fit OF love before some likely
girl. She is then penned up for some
time in Il house-a sort of dugout or
burrow in the ground-and when the
bride day comes he goes there and
crawls in. 1t Is in the play that the
bride to be shall SO strenuously object
that she fights him OF. He then goes
out and gets his dogs and sled, and
when they are harnessed up he goes
in again, overcomes her, ties her hands
and feet, places her on the sled and
hauls her to his own. village. That
completes the ceremony of marriage
The whole village gives them we'd
ding feast Next day, or later on, II
they don't forget 1t, they go before a
minister Of the gospel and are married
in due form. This feature of the union,
however, Is not important and does
not bother them very much.
The dressing Of the brides hair is
q revelation. 1t is done up in series
Of knots about foot high on top Of
her head and pulled 30 tightly from the
scalp that very often big patches Of 1t
are fairly pulled out by the roots, leav-
ing bald and barren places around the
ears and the temples.
