Price In The Wife Market.

In Europe, says a foreign ex-
pIorer, it is customary for par
ents to give dowries to their
daughters when they marry, but
in uncivilized countries quite a
different custom prevails.
In Uganda a man can buy a
handsome wife for four bulls, a
box of cartridges and six needles,
and i9 he has the luck to 90 a
wooing when woman happens to

present Of rice and a few rupees.
Twenty oxen is the regular
price for wife among the Mis-
himis, but a poor man has more
than once succeeded in obtaining
a bride on payment of one pig.
At Timor no girl will think of
wedding a man not provided with
a certain number of elephants
trunks, and at Unyoro any des-
irable but impecunious suitor
may purchase a wife on credit,
but Will not be allowed to enjoy
her company until he has paid

Among many tribes of Africa
and Asia it is customary for
suitor to work as a hired hand for
ms future father in law in the
same manner as Jacob worked
for Laban. A certain value is
set on the gilr whom he selects
as his wife, and when his wages
amount to that much he gets her,
and not before.
A man who falls in love with a

BooKer's Opinion.

Joseph Booker, colored, editor
Of the Baptist Vanguard, devoted
to the interests of the negro in
this state, says;
"Say what you may about the
elevation of the American negro,
but a great amount of it is due to
the pains taking missionary in
struction given him in earlier
days by the southern white wom-
an. Size did not, perhaps, mingle
with the masses on the planta-
ton, but her close, affectionate
attention given to those at the
farm house was the means Of Civ
ing the race its best Christian
leaders before the war and i'm
mediately after the war. And
these early Christian leaders are
the missionary structure. The
southern white woman taught
many a negro how to read his
Bible and how to use his hymn
book in those dark days when 1t.

The Independent Boy.

The nonchalance of boys who
are sure of a dinner, and would
disGain as much as a lord to do
or say aught to conciliate one, is
the healthy attitude of human
nature. How is boy the master
of society! Independent, ire
sponsible, looking out from his
corner on such people and facts
as pass by, he tries and sentences
them on their merits, in the swift
summary ways of boys, as good,
bad, interesting, 81 ly, eloquent,
troublesome. He cumbers him
self never about consequences,
about interests, he gives an inde-
pendent, genuine verdict, You
must court him; he does not

Two brush fires on the Bond brook
road caused considerable anxiety, Sat
urday afternoon. The first was on
lSad0re Boulieu's land just above Par
rottS mill. Mrs. Boulieu discovered a
couple of boys running out of the lot
and q fire blazing where they had
been a little before noon. A crew was
hastily summoned and fire lighting be-
gan i'll earnest. After an hour of
hard work it was put out. An
other blaze started at about the same
time in the woods on the Columbus
Cottle place, a mile and a half farther
out, where wood was cut for the cleo
trio railroad last winter. The Cush-
noe engine and hose were called out to
help fight that. and at two o'clock it
was reported under control. 1t burned
over Il considerable territory before
being put out, the total burned area
being variously estimated from so to 100
acres. No good woodland was dam
aged. Sparks started a blaze on the
Fhilbrook potash factory twice, and it
was easily eXtingushed each time. The
engine was kept up there nearly four
hours.

REAL SENSIBLE IDEA.
Druggists Bowditch G. Webster Say
M-o-na's Plan is the Only Fair
One.

Bowditch G. Webster, the popular
druggist, has been in the drug business
long enough to have their own opinion
of the best way of selling medicines.
They say the plan adopted by Milo
na the great dyspepsia cure, is the
fairest they have ever heard of.
They don't believe that a medicine
ought to be paid for unless it does the
user some good.
And Mi-o-na is sold under a positive
guarantee to cure dyspepsia or to
refund the money. You simply leave
so cents on deposit with BoWditch &
Webster and if after you have used the
box of Mi-o-na you decide that it has
done you no good, all you have to do is
to tell them so and they will return
your money.
Thousands of people have been cured
of dyspepsia by using this remarkable
digeSter; it is a medicine that puts all
of the digestive organs into normal
condition and gives ruddy, glowing
vigorous health. A change for the
better VIII be seen from the first few
doses of Mi-o-na, and it's continued
use will soon give the power to eat
anything at any time and not suffer
distress afterwards
Mi-o-na is the only dyspepsia remedy
upon the market that is sold under a
positive guarantee to refund the money
if it does not cure. This is the strong
est proof that can be offered as to
the merit of the medicine.

There is a great deal of lying on this
point. The stock claim of lying paints
is 300 square feet, two coats. It's a
lie, as a rule.
Devoe covers 800 to 500. our agents
think. We think 800 too low and 500
too high; though doubtless, they both
occur.
How much the other paints cover is
equally doubtful; we guess 100 to 400.
The truth is found in another COM
parison. Devoe is all paint, true paint.
