BARGAINING FOR A BRIDE.
courtship and Marriage in Thibst Ii
Carried Forward on a Mer-
cenary Basis.

When a Thibetan warrior, sur
feited with glory of material life,
desires a wife, he waits upon the
father of the girl who has at.
tracted his eye and makes an offer
of marriage. The father, after
weighing the matter carefully
for a refusal is likely to provoke a
long and bloody feud--in turn
waits upon the priests and &C.
uuaints them with the nature Of
the offer, at the same time paying
TO them a munifcent bride in order
10 secure the answer of the deities
as to whether the marriage should
be entered into, says a writer in
The Booklover. The wife-seeker,
should he be diplomatic enough,
has meantime carried a larger
bribe to the lamas, who "bleed"
both father and suitor to the limit
of safety, when the decision of the
deities is given.
For a month the accepted sutton
must keep the family Of his favored
one supplied with meat and other
luxuries, and must be on his guard
against rival suitors. At the end
of a month the chosen one is in.
vited to a grand feast by the father
of the girl, where the betrothal is
sealed by each cutting a small in.
cision in the arm and mingling the
blood flowing from the wound.
This function of blood brother.
hood having been finished, the girl
is brought forward-smeared with
grease and various cOlOred pig
ments, adorned in all her fnery.
and with a rope tied around her
neck as a badge of subseryience.
Then ensues a scene of the
shrewdest bargaining, the father
dilating on the good points of the
girl much in the manner of a con-
n~oisseur of blooded stock. The
wishes of the woman are never
consulted, but the bargaining goes
on for days, and even weeks, until
a final settlement has been arrived
at. The requisite price having
been paid, she is led to the house
of her husband, where she is sub
jected to a severe beating in order
properly to humble her spirit, and
made to run around the village
loudly prOclaiming the merits Of
her husband.
