Peculiar Marriane Ritns.

Northern India and the island OF
Banquey can certainly claim to
have the most peculiar marriage
rites of any country. In the former
a COW and a calf are invariably re-
quired at the marriage. The ami
mails are driven into narrow run
ming stream, the priests and tie be-
trothed couple also standing in tie
water The man and woman ca-a
catch hold of the cows tail, and r,r
priest pours water out o. Il g,s..s
vessel upon their joirel haa3..
while all present muttcT certain
prayers. The young folks are then
declared to be man and wife, and
the priest claims the COW and calf
as his fee. In the island of Ban
qney the officiating priest takes a
sharp knife and with it makes a
small incision in the right leg of the
bride and bridegroom. From each
incision he gathers a few drops Of
blood and transfers them to the
other ones leg. This operation, to-
gether with short religious formu-
la, constitutes the whole of the mar
riage ceremony.

THE BANANA TREE.
Each Piece Of Fruit Represents a Sin.
ole Flower.

Tropical trees and plants, with
. their luxurious growth and brilliant
flowers, are very interesting. In
Hawaii there is not the boarding or
niggardlinoss Of slow growth. Ma
ture does everything with lavish
hand. Small ANNALS in colder
climes do not seem remarkable
when they have their full growth
but to perfect their flower and seed,
but in the larger growth of the
tropics this does seem a remarkable
feature.
During my stay on the windward
side of the island of Oahu | have
been studying the banana tree. In
growth and habit it is exceedingly
interesting. Very truly does it live
but to produce its fruit, for, though
a stem attains a height of from
twelve to eighteen feet, as soon as
one bunch of bananas ripens it is
pau" in Hawaiian parlance, "fn-
ished" in English. 1t is cut down
and another tiny shoot starts from
the ground to pursue the same
course.
Each banana represents a single
flower, and we eat the feshy seed,
pod or ovary, something as in the
apple, only that the seeds have no
covering, as in that fruit. The
large cluster of flowers is inclosed
in leaflike coverings, which roll
back and fall off, one by one, as a
hand of the flowers is ready to OPEN
BY hand one means two rows of
flowers going half around the stem.
/ have often wondered what was
meant in the oriental stores by a
"hand' Of bananas. Now | under
stand by looking at the empty stem
from which we have just finished
eating the delicious fruit. As soon
as the fruit first begins to turn the
stem is cut and hung up to ripen.
Bananas hanging in the porch to
be used at will are a very good sub
stitute for the apple of colder
climes.
But to return to the flowers. The
first hand of flowers turns very soon
into tiny green bananas, and then
the next leafike bract rolls back
and falls off, and a hand Of flowers
comes to light, till, one after an
other, these hands have made
large bunch of bananas. In those

a Nose For Tobacco.

Lord Deas, a Scotch judge, was
once hearing a case when the smell
of tobacco permeated the room, and,
being in opposition to the rules,
search was made to trace the Of
fender, without avail. Finally the
ushers said it must come from the
retiring room of the lawyers. This
his lordship secuted, saying:
,"No such thing. Dae ye mean to
t9i me the gentlemen Of the bar
smoke common Limerick twist?"
Strange to say, shortly after an
Irishman in court discovered the
pipe he had placed alight in his
pocket had set fire to the lining, and
II was loaded with Limerick twist.

what he was talking about.

INVOKING HE sPlRlTs.
Queer suporstitisns Of the Veddas Of
ceylon.

|
DR.. C. G. Seligman, writing in
Travel and Exploration, throws
some interesting light on the beliefs
and superstitions of the Veddas, the
strange hill tribes and cave dwellers
of Ceylon: although there is no
clearly formulated idea Of death
contagion, the rapidity with which
all Veddas leave the place where a
death has occurred and avoid it for
years shows that some evil quality
is associated with dissolution. Ac-
cording to most Veddas, the spirit
of every dead man, woman or child
becomes a 'yaka plural yaku)
within a few days after death.
Some Veddas, however, say that
when ordinary folk die they cease
utterly and that a surviving part,
which becomes a yaka, exists only
in the case of especially strong, en-
ergetic or skilled men, who have
shown their strength Of character
in this world or who have had the
power of calling the yaku during
their lifetime.
"Since each Vedda community
consists of a small number of fami-
lies, usually related by blood and
marriage, the yaku of the recent
dead-callcd collectively the ne va
ku-arc supposed to stand toward
the surviving members of the group
in the light of friends and relatives,
who, if well treated, will continue
their loving kindness to their sur
vivors, and only if neglected will
show their disgust and anger by
withdrawing their assistance or
even becoming actively hostile;
hence it is generally considered
necessary to present an Offering to
the newly dead, usually within a
week or two of death. This Offering
must consist of cooked rice and CO.
coanut milk. the food that every
Vedda esteems above all other, but
betel leaves and areca nuts are often
added.
'In each community there is one
man, called kapurale,' or 'duggana-
wa who has the power and knowl-
edge requisite to call the yaku, and
this man calls upon the yaka of the
recently dead man to come and take
the offering. The yaka comes, and
the kapurale becomes possessed by
the yaka of the dead man, who
speaks through his mouth in hoarse,
cultural accents, stating that he APP
proves the offering and will assist
his kinfolk in hunting and often
definitely indicating the direction
in which the next hunting party
should go. One or more of the near
relatives may also become possessed.
Soon after the spirit leaves the
kapurale the rice is eaten by the as
sembled folk"

Personally Interested Legislators. 4
The public has grown accustomed to
the idea Of the corporation attorney in
legislative bodies. OF late we have
been given the spectacle Of the legis-
lator as the attorney for himself the
while he posed as the representative
Of the people who elected him. In
England they do this thing differently
that is. so openly that nobody is de-
ceived. Some commercial interest or
combination Of interests will stake a
man to run for q seat in parliament
and pay him salary while he is
there simply to look after his employ.
ers affairs.
Parliamentary districts open for ex-
ploitation are we'll known in England.
Nothing better is looked for. But in
this country representation Of the
electorate is the theory in every cleo
ton. For man so elected to set his
personal interests above the general
good is betrayal of his constituents,
but it is more than that. A magis-
trate must know no party; a legislator
should not, but especially should know
no self.
