Marry anI Part For ! Year.

Among the many peculiar customs
prevalent among the people of Central
America is that OF parting for one year
after the marriage ceremony has been
solemnized. This custom has prevailed
among the Jarnos from time immemo-
rial. There is no courtshlp allowed to
be carried on between the parties prior
to the wedding. When man selects a
woman he obtains the consent OF the
parents on both sides. and II this is
given they are at once married. The
reason, however, for their not living
together as man and wife for one year
after marriage Is in order to permit OF
the parties visiting and staying with
their respective friends in different
parts OF the country. which is GUS
tomary thing and occupies the time
specified. kinety-nine out OF hundred
Of these marriages turn out well.

NaturalIsts have placed the beaver a
long way down in the list OF verte-
brates, but 1t undoubtedly stands next
TO man in the variety of occupations In
which 1t engages. All cats are hunt
ers, while foxes that are not thieves
may be included also among the MINI
rods. All canarles are prlma donnas,
and monkeys make clever comedians,
but 1t is only the beaver parent that
educates its children to take up several
trades. In n single colony among them
you will find civil and marine engi-
neers, woodchoppers, raftsmen. labor
ers, quarrymen, miners. plasterers.
masons, carpenters. hodcarrlers and
fishermen. All beavers take contracts
for building dams. but when the work
is undertaken the task is, so divided

own particular work to look after. In
this way they make some wonderful
excavations and construct their dams
