earecy's FearfuIIy Bad Luck With
Custodans of His Books.

Francisque Sarcey had splendid Ii
brary, of which he was very proud
and there are many stories told II
! Paris about the singular fates, comic
md 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. He 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, Debrit by name and debris
by nature. He had worn himself into
an incurable melancholy by persistent
addiction to the humOrist vaudeville
! habit. Sarcey saw that abstinence
from further composition could only be
secured If the man had some light oc-
cupation with a living wage. He es-
tabllshed 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 shiyered glass above
him, followed a minute later by what
! he no longer dared to call a 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 in order was one Bernard, q
gladstone youth, whose blithe 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
lcal order on the shelves. He stacked
them in craggy pyramids all over the
door. But It happened to be the spe-
cial day Of the week whereon Sarcey
was wont to have a few Of his the
atrlcal friends, male and female, to
lunch with him. After lunch a dance
followed as matter Of course. Moth
ing could dlsmay the librarian. He
whisked the pyramids to four walls
and joined IN the dance. Next day he
asked permission to 90 home and see
his mother lie 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,
IN elderly Polish maiden, who proved
an invaluable assistant until she per-
ished miserably in the fire at the char
fly ball in Paris.

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


Navajo Tribes.
Marriage among the Topi, tribe Of
the Pueblo Indians, is an institution
regarding which those most concerned
have least to say. When the parents
Of a girl find 1t expedient for her to
After the matter has been arrangeu
the principals are notified. The girl goes
to the home of the groom's parents
and grinds corn for them for three
weeks. while the groom makes 4 kind
of sash for the bride. Then one morn
ing at sunrise they both bathe their
heads In cold water, which completes
the ceremony. There have been in
stances Of the groom's refusing to go
through the performance, which has
then proceeded without him and been
accounted valid, and several weeks
later he 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 q 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 q
mother-in-law and a token Of apprecia
tion of the care and expense involved
in bearing and rearing the lady, q
recognition not unworthy Of considera
ton by civilized grooms. On the othel
hand, and deserving Of great condem
nation. Is that law of many tribes, un
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.
