A Russian Marriage Market.

Perhaps the best known of these
Russian marriage markets is the one
which takes place annually at Klui,
near Moscow, and which has Just been
held with the usual success. 1t occurs
during the week of Epiphany (Russian
style), and all the young women who
wish to get married in the course of
the year are mustered in a long row
in the principal street of that large
and struggling country town. In order
to make themselves attractive to the
young men who come to see and ad-
nire them they wear nearly all their
belongings on their backs. Their fnery
does not consist only of their best
clothes, but it includes a lot of old
family trinkets, sometimes valuable
scarfs, cloaks and furs, heavy silver
jewelry and necklaces, jackets show
ing rows of prettily ciselated or f1ligree
silver buttons, and many of the girls
bring even their linen and other do
nestle property along with them in
gaudily painted chests and trunks, sit
ting on them like dragons watching a
treasure.
After exposing themselves for hours
to the close scrutiny of would-be bene-
diets, the girls march off in a process
sion to church. there to perform at the
shrine of some saint particularly
such as st. Chrysotom and St. Niazan-
zen, worshipful prayers On the way
to church it is not only permissible but
good form for the young men to fol-
low and accost one or the other of the
girls in the way of conversation.
If any of the young people think they
suit one another, a formal visit is paid
by the intended groom to the parents.
But before the actual marriage is ar
ranged a number of interviews take
place between the respective parents,
every item of the trousseau being ex-
acted beforehand and noted down as
part Of the brides dowry.-Wolf Won
lSchierbrand in HarDer's Weekly.
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1904-05-28

fame would not have Travelled 10000
miles to inmortalize even a Funston.
There are $3.50 feet in a mile. we be-
lieve. Therefore. a river 100 feet wide
would and should promptly be requisi-
toned as an irrigating ditch or divert
ed in the cause of industry to run a
grist mill.
However. we repeat, we charge 1t all
to the modesty of Gen. Funston, and
not to the undue excitement upon the
fact that Gen. Funston disdains to
state that the banks of the river were
lined with Filipino sharpshooters at
the time of his adventuring to swim
across. In his desire to efface him
self he only mentions the 1000 Fill
pinos in connection with the exploit
of the Rio Grande. when two of his
men swan out into that great river
and towed the general after them on a
raft, surrounded by MS forty-five
guardsmen. We care nothing for the
fact that the Kansas school board au-
thorities have ordered Gen. Funston's
exploit to be eliminated from the books
used in the public schools. A hero,
like a prophet, is not without honor
save in his own country.
