Wives Drawn by Lots.

In some parts of Russia a queer game is still played which has much to do with tue future lives of the participants. Some prominent person in the village announces that the annual mer- rymaking will be held at his house. On the appointed day the young men and women hast en in huge excitement to the meeting place.
 There are songs and games and dances, but they are simply prelude to the more important business of the day.
 When the time comes the host ess leads all the girls into one room, where they seat themselvs on the benches. Laughing and chattering, they are each promptly mufled in sheets by the hostess. The head and hair and figure are completely cover ed. and when this is done the girls resemble mummies.
 The young men draw lots, and one by one they enter the room where the mufied girls sit. Helpless so far as sight or touch goes, the puzzled lover tries to find his favorite. Maybe she would help him if her eyes were not hidden, but she is as helpless as he. Finally he chooses one, and then he may Qnveil her. This is the critical moment, and disappointment or rapture will be the result of seeing her face.
 It is the law and custom that the man shall marry the girl he has picked out, and if either backs out heavy forft must be paid. It is said that this matri- monial lottery is productive of many happy marriages.

OLD BATTLE GROUND.
Spot in the Far Northwest Where Indian Tribes Met and Fought
 to the i cath.

\ Where the great steel bridge of the Northern Pacific railway spans the Columbia river half way between Spokane and Seat tie, Wash, and near the con1u- ence of the Snake and the Col umbia rivers, aysthe Washing ton Star, there was fought 60 years ago, a battle to the death betweentwo Indian tribes, proba- bly, the Cayuses and the Wallah- wallahs or the Clahclellahs, which latter tribe was a reckless and thieving one.
 The railway company has re- gently completed a great irrlgat- ing ditch 26 miles long and 20 feet wide that is turning this val ley ajacent to the west bank of the Columbia from a sage brush plain into what a few years hence will be an orchard and garden spot twenty miles square, with climate peculiarly adapt ed, it is said, to raising all sorts of vegetables, berries, peaches, apples, plums, cherries and al falfa. In the tearing up process an old Indian battle ground has been found on the same spot where Lewis and Clark, the pio- neer explorers, pitched thelr camp and from which they push ed their way up stream to the mouth of the Yakima river in the year 1895.
 This is all historic ground; at a later date Grant and Sheridan and other army officers were sta toned in this vicinity-Grant in 1852-4, Sheridan in 1856, both of them taking part in repelllng Indian uprisings. In this old battle ground, and first by means of a we'll, there were unearthed recently skeletons, fint-lock ri- fes, Indian heads, brass badges bearing date of 1847, broken hatchets, spear heads, elk teeth and a piece of of cloth or matt ing spun from threads of weeds or hemp. Everything went to show that this part of the Ken newick valley at one and the same time an old Indian battle and burying ground, as 1t is now known that the Indians con- gregate here in great numbers on account of the mild climate, especially during the winter months, when the indictment weather of the higher attitudes drove them into more hospita- ble regions.

No Family Dinner Parties in Congo.

The customs of native tribes in Congoland are very pecu- liar. Men and women will not eat together. A man guilty of eating in company of his wives would be hopelessly disgraced. In time past they have eaten one another, and would doubtless do so again should existing re- straint be removed, but they may not eat together. After their separate repast, the sexes min gle again freely, and both en- gage in smoking their long stemmed pipes.
