INDIAN MARRIAGES.
Peculiar Rites of the Hopi and the
Navajo Tribes.

Peculiar Rites of the Hopi and the
Navajo tribes.
Marriage among the Topl tribe OF
the Pueblo Indians. is an institution
regarding which those most concerned
have least TO say When the parents
Of girl find 1t expedient for her to
get married, they look up an available
man and negotiate with his parents.
After the matter has been arranged
the principals are notified. The girl goes
to the home Of the grooms parents
and grinds corn for them for three
weeks, while the groom makes kind
Of sash for the bride. Then one morn
ing at sunrise they both battle their
heads in cold water. which completes
the ceremony There have been in
stances Of the Eroom's refusing to go
through the performance. which has
then proceeded without him and been
accounted valid, and several weeks
later be has yielded and had his head
bathed.
The Navajo ceremony Is much more
elaborate and impressive, but then the
Navajo girls are much nicer. The reg
ular tariff on a Navajo girl entering
the port of matrimony for the first
time is twelve horses. On the second
occasion the tax Is nine horses, while
subsequent entries are free.
This is not purchase money. but is
merely tribute of respect to
mother-in-law and n token of apprecia-
ton OF the care and expense involved
In bearing and rearing the lady, a
recognition not unworthy of considera-
ton by civilized grooms. On the other
hand, and deserving Of great condem-
nation, is that law Of many tribes IN
written, but Of much sanctity, that
man and his mother-in-law shall never
meet after the ceremony.--A. w. Dim
ock in Outing Magazine.

custodians Of His Books.
Francisque Sarcey had splendid II.
brary, OF which be was very proud,
and there are many stories told in
Paris about the singular fates, comic
snd tragic, that overlook the Librarians
who successfully looked after the late
critics books.
The first was released convict, who
pleaded that TO be much among good
books would reform him. Sarcey, pug
nacious In print. was the kindliest Of
men in practice. lie yielded to the
plea. Unfortunately his protege car
ried the ethical cure too far, for one
day he decamped, taking with him the
best of NJ. Sarcey's good books.
The second Was a distinctly minor
dramatist. Debrlt by name and debris
by nature. He had worn himself into
an ineurable melancholy by persistent
addiction to the humorist vaudeville
habit. Sarcey saw that abstinence
from further composition could only be
secured IL the man had some light &C.
cupation with a living wage. He es-
tablished him in the vacancy left by
the convict. A few days later as the
critic, returning from the theater, drew
his carriage up before his door he
heard a smash of shivered glass above
him, followed a minute later by what
he no longer dared to call dull thud
on the pavement below. The woe be-
gone librarian, wearied of life. had
thrown himself out Of the window.
With his last breath he cursed Sarcey
as his murderer.
Third 10 order was one Bernard, a
gladstone youth. whose bllthe tempera-
ment promised relief from the gloom
cast by his predecessor. In the height
of his glee he pulled out all the books
so as to rearrange them in more log
zeal order on the shelves. He stacked
them in craggy pyramids all over the
floor. But it happened to be the spe-
cial day Of the week wherein Sareey
was won't to have a few of his the
atrieal friends, male and female, &C.
lunch with him. After lunch dance
followed as matter Of course. Moth
ing could dismay the librarian. He
whisked the pyramids to four walls
and Joined in the dance. Next day he
asked permission TO go home and see
his mother, He never returned The
pyramids had to be sorted out by Sar-
cey's manservant and put pellmell on
the shelves again.
The last librarian was Mile Blouska,
an elderly Polish maiden. who proved
an Invaluable assistant until she per
ished miserably in the fire at the char
ity ball in Paris.

A SURPRISED sWoROsMAN.
Judge GofFe's Play With Dragging
Fencing Master.


A fencing master appeared I'm Boston
one winter IN the seventeenth century
and had erected q stage on which he
Btrutted up and down at certain hours,
aefying any and all 10 engage In sword
play with him.
After this had gone on for several
days aud the mans boasts had be-
come insufferable Judge William Goffe
and Edward Whalley, the famous Eng
lish political refugees, disguised them
selves in rustic costume and appeared
before the alleged master. Cote held
In one hand cheese wrapped in a
napkin, which he used for a shield,
and carried mop which he had soak
ed In muddy water as he passed pud-
die.
Thus equipped, the judge mounted
the stage. The fencer rallied at him
for his impudence, asked him what
business he had there and ordered him
to BECOME The judge stood his ground.
Then the gladiator made pass at him
with his sword to drive him Off. The
Judge received the sword in his cheese
and held It there till he had drawn
the mop over the professors face and
smeared him with mud. Another
plunge by the enraged maitre d'armes
resulted similarly, this time the judge
poklng the mop into his eyes. This
operation was repeated third time.
Then the maddened fencing master
dropped his ordinary sword and grab
bed up huge broadsword. Thereupon
the judge said:
stop. sir Hitherto, you see. have
only played with you and not attempt
ed to do you harm. but II you come at
me now with the broadsword know
that | will certainly take your life!
The master was impressed by the
Grmness with which the judge spoke,
for he dropped the point OF his weapon
and exclaimed: "Who can you be? You
must be either COTE, Whalley or the
