crew.ome Wedding Present.

Among the Brass river tribes OF
West Africa when a young couple get
married 1t is the custom for the eldest
member of the brides family to pre-
sent the bride with plot Of ground
six feet long. This is for the grave
Of her family and herself when they
ole. The first member Of the new
family who dies is buried about twenty
feet below the ground and the next
one a little above, and this goes on
until all the family die and are buried.
The grave holds them all. and this.
they think, prevents them from being
separated. This grewsome wedding
present Is the one most valued by the
bride. the favorite native saying be-
Ing when 81 other things are gone.

young persons who are strangers to

dreary isolation for want of acquaint-

The Man Who Grow, on You.

Your most delightful acquaintance
is the man who grows on you. You
know people In plenty who do not gain
in your appreciation; every time you
meet them they seem more shallow
and more petty than before. Indeed,
there arc times when your discoveries
OF inner character within the circle
of your associations run SO much to
paltriness that you feel In danger of
being compelled to discount all human
nature as a deceiving sham. But tSa
man who grows on you saves you frcm
cyniciEm. Every day you are finding
IN him some factor of manhood that
you had not expected; every day he
proves IN . new test to have resources
Of strength upon which you have NO.
counted in your estimate Of him.

Disturbing the Public Peace.


 We are surprised at The Montgom- cry Advertiser. We might have ex- pected such conduct of The Charlotte Observer, which is as ignorant of sci ence as a penguin is of poetry, but we did look for more wisdom in a contem- porary which has heretofore shown an appreciable tendency towards accurate research and judgment in matters sci entific.
 Tho Landmark has for several years been exerting itself to hunt down and quash schemes to bore dangerously or two ago we exposed and killed a diabolical design which involved the sinking of two parallel shafts to a great depth, the dropping of dynamite shafts at the bottom. and the forcing of water into one shaft with the idea shat 1t would come out hot at the us that the consummation of this reck- less scheme might create another Mount Pelee and work the devastation of large and peaceful section of the
 Now the same dangerous proposition bobs up in another form. An English engineer of distinction tname not giv- enl desires to raise $25.oOo,OOO with deep. He thinks that if he gets the requisite amount the contemplated shaft can be sunk in eighty-five years, at the outset; and when it is compiet-
 
 that the discoveries which will be made in the lower part of the hole will be of incalculable interest and benefit to science. We are astonished, and pained beyond measure. to see The Montgomery Advertiser lend approval to this mischievous movement.
 No man can tell what will come out of that twelve-mile hole. There is only one thing of which we are cer- tain. and that is that the s25, 900 ,oUO will not come out of 1t. Even if the perforatton did not become a volcano of Its own volition. we may rest as- sured that some fool would insist on dropping a ton or so of dynamite into the aperture in order to see what to bore holes of unnecessary and un- reasonable depth in the interest of sci ence ought to be Suppressed. If The English engineer the $25.0Oo,OOO which he needs to put his pernicious theory into practice then The Advertiser will deserve to be branded as an enemy of the human race, and if nobody else will do the branding, The Landmark will.
