cause she is not permitted
to have the young man
she would like to marry.
The parents settle this
affair often without con-
sulting the young man and
the girl. The man usually
is given more leeway, and
if he does not admire the
girl the parents usually
hunt another girl for him.
The girl once selected, it
is his duty to send her as
many and as costly gifts
as his fortune will allow.

must be counseled, and unless he is 25 years
old he cannot marry the girl without their con-
sent. far wiser way for him to do is to talk
it with the parents. If the girl is attractive
and the family is congenal the parents of the
young man make overtures to the girls parents.
They friendly footing and the ques-
tion of marriage is readily settled. The settlement
as to what the girls dot shall be is an important
point at issue.
The Chinese along with the Turks, believe that
a girl is far better off dead than unmarried Though
they are exceedingly anxious to have their daugh-
ters married they believe it is beneath their dig
nifty to carry these negotiations themselves but
leave this work to professional matchmaker The
gobetween visits the different homes alone, where
she takes note of the age education, social posi-
tion and wealth of the different girls She then
gives long and accurate account of the girls fam
lily. One is selected from this number, and if both
parties are satisfied the affair is handed over to
the necromancer. If the stars say the young peo
pie are selected wisely the betrothal is announced
But the matchmaker has still a part to play.
Shortly before the marriage she brings the young
girl the gifts the groom would send her. These
usually include leg of pork, a bag of money, two
bottles of wine, and two candles. But the girl is
expected to return part of these offerings. The
Chinese parents do not believe it is necessary for
young persons to love each other so long as the
augur is satisfied. The young man rarely sees the
girl until after they married. When the bride
arrives at the home of the bridegroom he is there
to meet her, but when she steps out she is so
yelled that her features are hidden. He leads her
into the room where the ceremony will take place.
Then he seats himself a high chair to show
his superiority and she prostrates herself before
him until he lifts the veil and for the first
time his future wife's face
The Russians are another people who believe
that marriage is the only natural and rational des
tiny for q woman. Confident that Cupid is fool

the wisest, they make of matchmaker, called
svacha She is most important parsonage, and
when her judgment which is excellent, fails her
she can call the stars, diamonds, hearts and clubs
to her aid
But the marriage ceremonies are even more COM
pcated On the day before the wedding the bride
ia conducted to her bath. There her friends spend
long hours combing her hair and while away the
time singing and talking of what her daily life will
be after she is married The ceremony is performed
with the rites of the eastern church and takes
place eight days before the marriage. The service
is divided into three parts. The first is where the
gold rings are exchanged. Then the bride and
bridegroom are crowned with crowns Of silver fill

BOUNDARY LINES.

Many persons have an idea that a
county surveyor is vested by law with
power and authority to make surveys
of land and settle disputed questions be
tween land owners concerning their
boundary lines. This j. a mistake. In
the first place, neither a county nor any
other surveyor can lawfully change a
United States government survey. They
cannot establish any line or corner IN a
place different from where IL was locat-
ed by the United States surveyor. Ihey
can only re-estaOli-h corners and lines
where they were originally placed. Ia
case government corners have been dc
strUyed or Obllterated, surveyors must
endeavOr 10y all means To ind exactly
where they were and make the surveys
upon the same lines according TO the best
evidence Ubtalnable.
Even the re establishing OF corners
and lines by county surveyors according
to original government surveys does not
OF itself settle boundary lines aa between
owners Of adjoining tracts. FOrlnstance,
a division fence may have been con.
stiucted 10y the owners which varies from
the line fixed by the United States sur
veyur. This fence may have existed
and been recognized ~ the line for the
number of years fixed by the statute OF
limitations, each owner claiming and
culuvatIug his land up to the fence. In
such IA case the fence would in law
mark the real boundary line between
the owners, notwithstanding il was not
on the true line, according 10 govern
meut survey. Each owner would hold
to the fence by virtue of what is called
adverse possession.
A party who claims that division
fence il over on his land, thus giving hls
ueighDUr Il strip that don't belong to
him. cannot settle the matter by merely
having the county surveyor make new
survey and then remove the fence on
the newly surveyed line. In few
states the law provides certain forms Of
procedure by which survey made by a
county -prveyOr may become binding
Ia Kansas, for instance, party may

~ Hosea sat in the desolate home

sorrow and regret over the conduct
Of the hayward wife.

had chosen them in preference to him
and the three children which had come
to bless the few brief happy years that
had marked their early welded life
How tenderly he had pleaded with
her How patieSly he had striven
to turn her paths from sin. She was
villful and headstrong. She resent.
cd his interference and refused to
listen to his words OF warning and at
last he had realized that to shelter
her In his home longer was only to
make the pathway Of sin easy. II
she was going to violate the vows of
wifehood and motherhood he could no
longer give her the protection of his
name and his home under which TO
cloak her sin. IL she would not turn

that she must be cast adrift and left
TO drink to the bitter dregs the cun NJ

The tuberculosis CONGRESS.

Few things which mark the modern
progress of civilization have advanced
20 rapidly as knowledge of the nature
and durability Of tuberculosis. The
decision Of physicians that the disease
70 not hereditary has lifted a burden
Of dread from thousands of hearts, and
the success Of methods OF treatment in
the early stages Of the disease has
brought hope to thousands OF others.
But far more important than this has
been. and will be, the work of bringing
about an understanding OF the dangers
Of the disease and impressing the ne
cessity OF precautions. From Septem-
Der Il to October IL the United States
will be the host OF the international
congress on tuberculosis. which is to
meet in Washington. Mr.. Roosevelt
has lately accepted the presidency OF
the congress. The occasion will un-
doubtedly be the most important event
that has yet occurred in the fight
against the dread disease. The con-
vention will bring together the most
noted experts Of the world. and meth
Dds OF treatment and prevention which
have shown the best results will be
Illustrated. 1t will be as interesting
to the layman al to the physician. for
n the stamping out of consumption
much Of the work will have to be done
by laymen-officers Of state and city
governments, the police, boards Of
health and private citizens. 1t Is to be
hoped, says the Youths Companion,
that the congress will also do some
thing to allay the groundless fear
which many persons have of anyone
known to be suffering from tubercu-
losis-an attitude which frequently
renders Il impossible 70 secure the
