A Bride of Morocco,

Says an observer of conditions in
modern Morocco: '"The wife is bought
in Morocco today, and the sum paid is
agreed upon between her father and
the would be husband. Sometimes q
cow may be sufficient to procure a
bride, at other times many cattle and
several dollars are necessary for her
purchase. The bride is, of course,
dressed in suitable costume, but the
most interesting part of her toilet to a
stranger is the decoration of henna
The henna, pounded and mixed with
lemon juice, is sometimes painted di-
rect1y on to her face, arms, hands and
legs At other times a stencil pattern
it put on her flesh and the perforated
holes filed up with the henna. By the
time this is completed she is tattooed
with dark design. Society women in
more enlightened countries who wear
lace blOuses in hot summer sun often
find their arms and neck burned into a
pattern which has much the same ef-
feet as the henna tattoo on the poor lit
tie Moorish maid.'

How the RurrO Eats Thfstles.

The Rocky mountain burro, one OF
the most sagacious of animals, seeks
the thistle as a favorite food, and the
pungent spines with which it protects
its leaves at every angle are doubtless
a recognition on its part of this fond
ness Of grazing animals for it. Few
experiences of frontier life are more
amusing than to watch the donkey's
attack upon a large bull thistle He
walks about it, seeking for favorable
opening, projects his lip gingeriy
against its spines and jerks back as he
feels its prtcks. He surveys it penste-
" for moment or two and then slow
" raises his foot and strikes it, paus-

He then perhaps strikes it from the

blows become rapid, and at length 1t is

after which it is consumed to the last

to slide down and down, then, with a
