MARRIAGE Among the Aztecs.

The Aztecs, the most civilized peO-
pie of the new world at the time of its
discovery, had a curious marriage GUS
tom. The ceremony was performed
by a priest, who took the hands of the
bride and bridegroom, asking them If
they would marry.
He then took corner Of the wo-
mans veil and the mans robe and
knotted them together, and so they
were led to the bridegroom's house. A
fresh fire was then kindled Oh the
hearth, and around this fire the priest
caused the bride to go seven times.
The welded couple then sat down to-
gether, and so was the marriage con-
tracted An inventory was also made,
which the father Of the bride after
ward retained, of all the man and
wife brought together, of furniture for
the house, of land, of jewels, orna-
ments and clothes Then If it CHANGED
that the couple were divorced (as was
common among the Aztecs when man
and wife did not agree they divided
the goods according to the portion each
had brought to the other, both man
and wife having liberty to marry again
whom they pleased. Of the children
Of the marriage the daughters were
given to the wife and the sons to the
husband. 1t was enacted upon pain
Of death that the divorced couple were
not again to remarry.

A CHINESE STORY.
The Noted Liar Who Had Fairly
Competent Spouse.

Competent Spouse.
A noted liar once told a friend that
he had at home three precious things
a bullock which could run 500 miles a
day, fowl which crowed at the begin
ming of each watch, day and night, and
a dog that could read books. The friend
intimated that he would lose no time In
seeing these marvels with his own
eyes. The man did not expect this, as
his house was somewhat distant, so he
went home and told his wife that he
had got caught at last and that tomor-
row the man would arrive and he
would be disgraced
"Never mind" said the spouse
Leave that to me. 1t will be all right,
only you must keep out of sight"
Next morning the visitor arrived and,
being met by the mistress, asked where
her husband was.
"He has gone to Pekin," she replied.
"When will he be back?"
"In eight or nine days"
"Why, how can he be so quick?"
"He has gone off on our fast bullock
and so can do it easily"
"I hear you have also wonderful
fowl" said the visitor. And, behold, as
he was speaking q small cock crew.
'That's it," said the wife. "He crows
at the beginning Of each watch and
also when a visitor arrives"
s'I would also like to see the learned
dog" he said.
"Ah," said she, 81 am sorry; but, you
see, we are very poor, and so he keeps
a school in the city."-Scrap Book.

STUPID SHEEP.
They Are About the Most SenseIess Of
All Animals.

They Are About the Most Senseiess OF
All Animals.
A Colorado ranchman declares that
no animal that walks is as big a fool
as a sheep.
1--WE have to watch them every min
ute, and if vigilance is relaxed for an
instant the entire flock Is likely to
practically commit suicide. In han
ding most animals some degree of self
help or intelligence can be relied on to
aid the owner in saving their lives, but
sheep seem to set deliberately to work
to kill themselves.
eff caught in a storm on the plains
they will drift before the wind and
die of cold and exposure rather than
move hundred yards to windward to
obtain shelter in their corral. To drive
sheep against the wind is absolutely
impossible. I once lost over 1000 head
because could not drive them to a
corral not 200 feet away.
'In the corral they are still more
foolish. If a storm comes up they all
move down wind until stopped by the
fence. Then commences the proceed
ing so much dreaded by sheepmen
known as piling.' The sheep will
climb over each others backs until
they are heaped up ten feet high. OF
course all those at the bottom are
smothered. Not one has sense enough
to seek shelter under the lee Of the
fence, as a horse or dog would do.
"Again, if a sheep gets into a quick
sand its fate teaches nothing to those
that come Immediately after, but the
whole flock will follow it's leader to
destruction. No more exasperatingly
stupid animal than sheep walks. -

A Finland Festival.

Paul Waineman's ga Summer Tour
In Finland" contains this pretty bit of
folklore: midsummer is the great an
nual festival of Finland. From every
height a bonfire leaps to the sky in
honor Of the mating Of night and day,
who are then united. The Firms pos
sess a poetical legend relating to this
annual custom. Kolt and Amarik, the
sunset and sunrise, beseeched the lord
of the sky to give them permission to
be eternally bride and bridegroom
and once a year to clasp each other in
their glowing arms"

Training Canaries.

In the canary breeding establish
ments of Germany only the male birds
are valued, because the females never
sing. The method Of training the birds
to sing is to put them in a room where
there is an automatic whistle, which
they all strive to initiate. The breeder
listens to the efforts of the birds and
picks out the most apt pupils, which
are then placed in another room for
further instruction. These are the bes'
singers and ultimately fetch high
prices

Napoleon and the Roman Law.

Napoleon I. had an extraordinary
mind. He appeared never to forget
anything he cared to remember and
assimilated information as the stom-
ach assimilates food, retaining only the
valuable. An incident will illustrate
this remarkable quality of his mind.
When forming the "Code Napoleon"
he frequently astonished the council
of state by the skill with which he il
lustrated any point in discussion by
quoting whole passages from memory
of the Roman civil law. The council
wondered how a man whose life had
been passed in camp came to know SO
much about the old Roman laws. FL
nally one Of them asked him how he
acquired his knowledge.
"When I was a lieutenant" Napo-
leon replied, 81 was unjustly placed un-
der arrest. My small prison room con-
tained no furniture except an old chair
and a cupboard. In the latter was a
ponderous volume, which proved to be
a digest of the Roman law. You can
easily imagine what a valuable prize
the book was to me. 1t was so bulky
and the leaves were so covered with
marginal notes in manuscript that had
1 been confined 100 years need never
have been idle. When I recovered my
liberty, at the end of ten days, 1 was
saturated with Justinian and the de-
cisions of the Roman legislation. 1t
was then I acquired my knowledge Of
