Marriage Customs In Savage Africa.

The charge which Is sometimes
brought against white men Of marry
ing for money" cannot be used against
their sex in Africa for there 1t is the
other way about, husbands having to
purchase their wives. When a man
has wife bestowed upon him as an
act Of charity he feels that she is not
properly his own, and she, if she WILL
can treat him with contempt. This
custom of wife purchase, although it
Is to be decried as tending to lower
marriage to the level of commercial
contract, is an incentive to young men
to work. Lazy youths cannot COM
pete with energetic ones in the matri.
monial market. as they are despised by
the young women and rejected by their
parents as being unworthy of their
daughters.-Wide World Magazine.
