not look like girl who would indulge

sive indulgence in alcoholic beverages.
There are other differences, too"

why. the plain drunk sleeps in the
lookup over night, is fined 81 and

AFRICAN MARRIAGE MARTs.
The Man Buys a Piece Of Cloth and
the Girl With 1t.

A famous marriage fair, or mart, is
held yearly at the village Of Menguelet,
in the well-known oasis on the Wady
Jema'a, in the Kabyle district Of Tunts'
It takes place at the end OF the mar
vest season, when the ingathering OF
the crops Is finished, the produce dis
posed Of, and the tribesmen or the
country, flush with money as money is
reckoned thereabouts, think Of adding
a wife to the other purchases they al
ways make for the ensuing twelve
months.
Being within thirty miles Of the Ait
at the time of the market, I rode over
to see how such show was organized
and managed. In the open space the
damsels are ranged ready for inspec-
ton in the marriage market. There
they face the visitor, separated from
the noisy part of the fair, ranged In
four separate rows, and numbering, I
should say, between six and seven
hundred. Each damsel Is seated on
small, bright-colored carpet spread up
on the ground, and each has a negafa-
a sort Of nurse, attendant and duenna
combined-seated beside her. Conspic-
uously displayed in front of each,
moreover, is big roll Of woven stun.
This roll Of material plays an important
part in the marriage negotiations, ana
Is always woven by the girl herself.
The young women are attired In the
most expensive and richest garments
the parents and relatives can secure.
They are painted, patched and pow
dered, as is the invariable custom or
Kalybe bellies, and wear sufficient rings
bangles, bracelets, chains and brooches
to stock a small-sized jewellers shop.
These jewels are not by any means al
ways the property Of the girl or her
friends. In fact, they are mostly Dor
rowed or hired for the occasion. AS
there is a good deal of rivalry between
the different deheras and kebails In
regard to the appearance Of their dam
sells in the marriage market, there Is
no difficulty in getting a loan of as
much ornament Of the kind as the girl
can carry on her person, especially II
she is at all good-looking. 1t is not
easy for stranger to decide upon the
beauty of Berber maid. for she tat
toos the face as we'll as paints it.
How is sale and purchase effected?
In the simplest way imaginable. A
would-be buyer has only to walk up to
the carpet upon which the girl he wish
es to own is seated, touch with his fin
ger the roll of woven stuff in front of
her and ask the price. If the young

UNFORTUNATE IMPEDIMENT.-The fol-
lowing very unlikely but not mean
ingless story is borrowed from the
Cleveland Plain Dealer, and is reprint
ed here in the hope that it may do
good:
He was an angular man with gray
ear whiskers. He gave up his seat In
the crowded car with an alacrity that
spoke we'll for the cheerfulness of his
disposition. The lady who took the
profered seat was stout and naughty.
She slipped into the vacant place with
out a word.
The angular man looked at her
thoughtfully. then he stopped over and
said:
IT had an uncle, ma'am, that had
Just that same affliction."
"Sir!" said the stout lady, with an
insulted toss Of the head.
"Yes," continued the angular man,
"he couldn't pronounce any word be-
ginning with TIL to save his neck.
That's right. He'd stutter and stam-
mer, and the best he could do would
be to give it the sound Of g. 1t was
a dreadful affiiction. His Oldest sons
name was Theophilus, but he always
called him Sophilus. Had it long,
ma'am?"
The stout lady was dark red from
vexation.
"You are insulting" she managed to
say.
"Wen, I don't wonder you hate to
hear anybody refer to It," said the an
gular man, with great cheerfulness.
But I couldn't help noticing it when
you took my seat and wasn't able to
say thank you,' I wouldn't have
minded in the least If you'd said sank
you'-Oh, do you get off here? Good
day. ma'am."

ONE HUNDRED YEARS OLD AND
VERY UGLY.-A report from an isola-
ted region or Mexico south of Yuma,
Ariz., tells Of the death at the age OF
ITO Of Tar Head, who through his life
was considered the ugliest man Of the
Yuma Indian nation. His death is at
tributed to the custom taken up late
in life of wearing white mems cloth
ing. Since the tribe adopted the wear
ing apparel Of the whites, ten years
ago, disease has carried off hundreds
Of its members.
Tar Head was typical Of the physi-
cal develpomnet Of his tribe and was
more than seven feet tall. He was
chief of the famous band Of Indian
couriers who displayed greater endur-
ance in travel than the ponies of 9TH
er Indian tribes.
Across the sands of the great Amer
lean desert these runners, stimulated
simply by a pebble carried in their
mouths, covered mile after mile in q
tireless dog trot. Many stories are
told Of the endurance Of these couriers
A hundred miles a day is said to be a
comparatively easy feat for Yuma
runner to undertake.
Tar Head once made himself hero
in the eyes Of Uncle Sans soldiers
when, during some Apache troubles
he saved the garrison of Yuma in the
territory Of Arizona by conveying g
message to Phoenix, which called fol
reinforcements. The distance covered
by him between sunrise and sunset
exceeded $50 miles.
He rested the night that he delivered
the message in Phoenix, and starting
out afoot on the following morning
led the cavalry back to Yuma before
darkness. The foe was preparing for
a night attack. The cavalry horses
were jaded and a few of them were
unable to complete the journey, but
Tar Head, who preceded the rescuing
party afoot, displayed few signs OF
fatigue
