The Bride Collects the oifts, Which
Must BE In Money.
II you receive an Invitation to a we'd
ding In Little Servia on the west side,
you must not buy present and take it
with you or send it. That would be
bad form, and the bride would proba-
bly, feel insulted, but when you went
to the wedding you would take with
you the price Of the present in money.
At the wedding you would find sew
eral hundred men and women all max
ing strange motions and talking In a
strange. excited manner.
After the guests had assemble
everybody In the colony would be well
comed-a young woman would pass
around the wedding cake. Behind her
would come the bride carrying silver
platter, and upon this she would collect
the money given as presents. At the
majority Of weddings the platter is
piled high with silver dollars, and
around the; edges are bills Of various
denominations, from SIS to $40. 1t is
not uncommon for bride to receive
$1,000 in cash. This amount, 1t must
be remembered, is given by men who
are mostly laborers in the packing
houses. 4
Sometimes the groom passes cigars,
and every guest will take cigar and
hand him q dollar. Another custom Is
to place a dollar in the large glass Of
whisky and every man take drink,
each drink costing dollar.
These weddings are great feast for
the guest and there is always plenty
to eat, and sometimes the groom rents
a hall where all may dance.--Kansas

Some Predictions.


The author Of the "Vision Of Piers
Plowman," a work written in the reign
Of Edward III, predicted with great
distinctness the fall Of the religious
houses In England. AS every one
knows, the event took place In the
reign Of Henry VIII, about 200 years
later.
Sir Walter Raleigh foresaw and pre-
dicted the spread Of nonconformity In
England. His Weighty and memorable
words were: 'eTime will even bring 1t
to pass, If 1t be not resisted, that God
will be turned out OF churches into
barns and from thence again into the
fields and mountains and under hedges.
All order of discipline and church gov
eminent will be left to newness Of
opinion and mems fancies and as many
kinds OF religion spring up as there are
parish churches In England"
In work written 500 years before
the event took place Tacitus foresaW
and predicted the evils and disorders
which Were SO long to desolate Europe
on the fall Of the Roman empire. His
words are worthy of repeti ton: HWhen
the Romans shall be hunted out from
these countries which they have con-
quered, what will then happen? The
revolted people, freed from their mas.
ter oppressor. will not be able to sub
sist without destroying their neighbors,
and the most crzei wars will exist
among all these nations

THE GREAT "WAR COMET"

lite Fiery, Spreading Tail Was Fifty
Million Miles Long.
The wonderful .'war comet" of 1861
sprang SO suddenly into view and
blazed with such unexampled bril-
ltancy as to astonish the astronomers
and fTighten those unlearned in come
tary lore half out of their wits The
unlearned declared that the civil war,
which was just getting well under
Roadway, must have something to do
with 1t. However. this may be, it
burst forth, unheraided and unlimited,
shining with greater brilliancy and
magnitude than any phenomena Of a
similar nature which that generation
had ever seen. I'LL,
On the night Of July of that year
it exhibited a most wonderful spec
tacle. In the evening the nucleus did
not appear to be larger than a star in
the first or second magnitude AS the
small hours of the morning approach
ed, however, the nucleus visibly in
creased in both magnitude and bril-
liancy. The tail waved back and forth
over our little world in most threat
ening manner, at times sending rays
almost to the zenith. On the morning
Of July 5 the astronomers announced
through the daily papers that the head
Of the great comet was only separated
from the earth by distance Of 12,-
100000 miles. According to the report
sent out from the Cambridge observa-
tory, the comet appears to have pass
ed its ascending node between the 9th
and the Goth Of June in longitude 279
degrees, the longitude Of the earth be-
| ing PIT degrees at the same time
On Oct 10 its tail extended over q
space of 100000 miles and at sew
eral points was not less than 10000
600 miles in width.
| At first it was generally conceded
that it was the famous comet of 1856,
/, the one which caused the Emperor
Charles v. Of France to resign his i'm
perial throne, he taking 1t to be a
warning from God. All surmises were
subsequently set at rest by the discoy-
cry that it was the famous Thatcher
comet, discovered by Professor A. +.

tory In New York city.

THE BREADFRUlT TREE.
Many Ways In Which This Strange
Asiatic Plant Is Utilized.

| AStattC fianc Is UttilZed. y
! The breadfruit tree is native OF
southern Asia, the south Pacific islands
and the Indian archipelago. In appear
| ance it resembles somewhat the wild
chestnut. 1t grows to the height of
forty or fifty feet and has dark green
leaves, many of them two feet in
length, which are deeply divided into
pointed lobes.
Hidden among the great leaves the
breadfruit grows. 1t is a sorosis, is
| nearly spherical, often weighs four or
more pounds and has a thick yellow
rind. This fruit is the chief food Of the
south sea islanders. They seldom eat
a meal without it. The eatable part
lies between the rind and the core and
when fully ripe is yellow and juicy.
1t is better for fruit before 1t has fully
matured, and the natives gather it
while the pulp is white.
Before it is ready for table use it
must be roasted, when it looks like
wheat and bread and is both palatable
and nutritious. Usually the fruit is cut
into three or four slices and roasted or
baked in an oven.
Frequently the people of a village
join in making a huge oven, in which
several hundred breadfruits may be
baked at one time. Thus they are all
supplied with bread without its cost
ing any of them much labor. Prepared
in this way, the bread will keep for
weeks. .E.S
The breadfruit Is In season eight
months Of the year. When the season
finally draws to a close, the last fruits
are gathered and made into sour
paste called "mahei." This paste will
keep good for months and is made
into balls, wrapped in leaves and bak-
ed, just as needed.
Bread is not the only product Of the
breadfruit tree. From it cement,
cloth. finder and lumber are also OBJ
tanned. A glutinous. milky juice, oozes
from the trunk of the tree, which,
makes an excellent cement when boil
ed with cocoanut oil. From the fibrous
inner bark kind of coarse cloth is
made, and the big leaves make good
towels. The lumber Is used. for build
ing houses and many other purposes.
Besides all this, the dried blossoms are
used as finder when fires are kindled.

This GIutton Has Many Names and an
Appalling Appetite. III
Among the most curious Of fishes 10
one known on the coast of Maine as
monkfsh, by Massachusetts fishermen
as goosefish, by Rhode Islanders as
the bellows fish, in Connecticut as the
molligut, in North Carolina as the ALL
mouth. On the other side Of the At
lantic 1t Is called wide gut, kettle nav
and other names. Its adult length is
about four feet, Ats weight about forty
pounds.
The fish is glutton, with no finely
discriminating palate. It Is said to
bolt the wooden buoy Of lobster pot
with an apparent satisfaction equal to
that with which it swallows q mack
erel.
Dogish, sculpens, squids, crabs and
Holsters are items In its ordinary diet
Its Massachusetts, name Is said to have
been given 1t because Of its practice Of
swallowing geese. Seven wild ducks
are said to have been taken from the
stomach Of one Of these fish, which
had pulled them down one by one from
the surface of the water.
The fish habitually turks upon the
bottom, though 1t is occasionally seen
near the surface. 1t Is sluggish In its
ordinary movements, but very quick
and ready with Its powerful jaws and
well fitted by nature for its mode Of
life. Its margins have long frfnges,
which sway in the currents like vege-

BoY1sH DESIRE FOR WORK.

Often Sign Of Arrested Development
Instead Of Strength.
Parents often think that their son is
especially promising because he wants
to get to work young, wants to leave
school and be earning. This Is never q
sign Of strength, but always Of weak
ness. When q boy wants to get to
work instead of getting ready to work
1t indicates arrested development
There is not one probab iltty In fifty
that a boy who desires to leave school
at the sixth grade and is allowed to do
80 will ever amount to anything Itsi is
not the fact that he does not have us
much education as the other boys, but
that he does not have their purpose to
get ready for the doing Of things.
Teachers often greatly err In dealing
with such boys and their parents by
trying to show how important 1T IL
that they should know what they win
learn In the seventh and eighth grades,
whereas thse Is the least part OF IT. It
Is case OF arrested development usu-
ally, and this is what should be treat
ed, treated as a disease.
We make lot of talk about defec-
tive sight and hearing, and we do well,
but it is vastly more important that
we "get busy" in defective mental pro
gressive development. There Is a near
sightedness Of parents and pupils that
is criminal. 1t contributes to deli1l-
quency and. as think, is, within the.
status of and subject to court punish

It sometimes shows itself IN diverted
attention, in dissipated interest and
often in overathletic or fraternity zeal. &
The college theory is that the frater-
nifty chaps are the elect, but life does
not show that. The data are imperfect
at present, but there is enough to.make
it wholly probable that when the fig
ures are i'll 1t will be clearly shown
that in the last fifteen years when fra
ternfty life has been extra social and
extra political in cIannishness much Of

ing arrested development. 1t is en-
tirelY clear already that this is charac-
teristic of the high school fraternity,
because It almost Invariably means
that set Of fellows dare not trust
themselves to win honors in the open
contest, but seek 1t as d fayoritisni by
