correct one. Needless to say. the cab

ESKIMO COURTSHlr.
How the Native Selects a Bride-The
Marriage Ceremony.

Marriage Ceremony.
The Eskimo gentleman never selects
a wife in his own village. AS soon as
he is able to make living for a family
he goes into neighboring village and
falls in fit of love before some likely
girl. She is then penned up for some
time in 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 50 strenuously object
that she fights him off. 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 OH the sled and
haulS her to his own village. That
completes the ceremony Of marriage
The whole village gives them wed.
ding feast Next day, or later on, if
they don't forget it. 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 G. series
of knots about a foot high Oh top of
her head and pulled so tightly from the
scalp that very often big patches of it
are fairly pulled out by the roots, lear-
ing bald and barren places around the
ears and the temples.
