a young man must often prove to the girl he is
worthy of asking for her hand. The girls always
have the privilege of saying Yes NO" though
in some places the choice of bridegroom is
stricted to their own locality In some districts
a man must lead the goats up and down the noun

towns where the haying is done 1t is his part to
stack up all the hay and pile it into the barn.
Though she helps him in his long hours of toll he

Until recently in Egypt girls and boys were

An important part of the ceremony is to give

There are no people so particular about selecting

Their sons and daughters have right to say
who they will and will not marry. For after the

his mother approves, and she is usually chosen
from the young women of their clan But
when they cannot find girl in the village who
peases them they seek among other clans.
But the young man is supposed to be too timid to
court alone the girl whom his mother chooses, and
he usually takes several friends with him. 1t is
their duty to sing the girls praises in the hope of
giving him courage to carry the courtship.

BLACK FOX FARMS.

Consul John II. Sherley writes from Charlotte
town, Prince Edward island There are three
black fox farms Atherton where these an
imals are raised for their skins. These farms
contain 20, 20 and 30 foxes, respectively. The
skins are sold in London at prices ranging from
$500 to $1,000 EACH according to quality. l am
informed that the fur is used for ornamentng
the cloaks of royalty, as it is the only fur to
which gold will cling. The farm containing 30
foxes is on Cherrys island. The farm containing
20 foxes Is in rough, broken woods country
where the animals are confined by heavy woven
wire netting. The wire is set in the ground two
and three Feet in order to keep the foxes from
burrowng under. and is about eight feet high
above ground, with a curve inwardly at the top
OF each post of another three four feet of wire
In order to keep them from climbing over the

Quoted on a mule to his house. Before she goes
to his house she drives all about town. In some
parts when the bride enters her new home the
bridegroom walks backwards holding dagger in
his hand and she follows him, touching the piont
of the blade with the tip of her finger.
Where a family afford it girl usually is
accompanied by an old nurse, who gives her good
words of counsel as the lazy mule trudges along
leisurely. Before she leaves the girl, whom she
has cared for since the bride was child, she
whispers: Take courage; you need not fear. He
cannot help but love you; you are sweet. good,
and kind
Among primitive peoples marriage usually
is more insstent and girls courted in even
a less romantic manner. Among the Australians
every girl must marry whether she will or not.
1t is considered wonderfully strange II a girl Is
12 years old and is still unmarried This Is not
because the girls parents are romantic. but
the parents feel that girl is only worth the toll
she gives.

About is miles from Mines, near
the picturesque little provencal village

duct across the river Gard. constructed
in the year "a b. G. by Marcus Agrip-
pa, the great general and son-in-law of
Augustus Caesar. and known TO. the
world as the Pont du Gard.
There is perhaps no ancient struc-
ture in all of Rome that brings us so
closely In touch with the mighty en-
gineers of that greatest age of the en-
pire as does this splendid old bridge
which still towers across the valley
of the Gard among the lonely hills of
southern France. 1t spans two hilltops
nearly thousand feet apart and car
ries an aqueduct upon three super-im-
posed tiers of massive stone arches at
a height of $50 feet above the brawl-

me sometimes two or three times a
day.
my friends, and even the doctor,
told me it was drinking coffee that
caused the trouble. I would not be-
lieve 1t, and still drank coffee until
could not leave my room.
Then my doctor, who drinks Pos
tum himself, persuaded me to stop cof-
fee and try Postum. After much hest
tation I concluded to try it. That was
eight months ago. Since then I have
more than four months.
