In the city of PIougastel. In Brittany.
France, all marriages take place on
one and the same day. The men are

far as the Newfoundland banks, and
are at home only during few months
in the winter. One day in early Feb

quently a match is broken Off because
the girls father refuses to add sack
of potatoes to the dowry.
On the day set the inhabitants of the
entire region go TO Plougastel. The
whole population goes to church to
hear mass, TO take communion and to
witness the wedding ceremonies. Often
fifty or more couples are united on the
same day. Bride and groom do not walk
together until the ceremony has been
completed. For the rest of this and
the whole of the next day every house
is open to receive guests and to pro-
vide food and drink for them. On the
evening of the second day the young
men carry the dowries of the brides to
the houses of the grooms. There they
dance and frolic until early morning.
and, after they leave, the couple are
for the first time together and alone.
During the remainder of the year no
marriages are concluded.-Lesbe's.

A ROMANCE OF TRADE.
The Start and Rise of the Famous
krupp Gun Works.

krupp Gun Works.
The famous cannon foundry of
Krupp. at Essen, was established in
1911 by Frederick Krupp, who aban
doned successful grocery business al
the instigation Of two brothers named
Won Kechel in order to devote himself
TO the manufacture of cast steel
The process was then unknown in
Germany, and the article itself went
under the name of English steer be-
cause it was imported from England.
Krupp had money. and the Kechels had
or pretended to have technical knowl-
edge. The firm started its operations
in an old water power mill at Altenes-
sen. The experiments of the Won
kechels were unsuccessful. For nearly
two years they did their best, but all
their efforts to produce English steel'
failed. In the end Krupp decided to
get rid Of them after having spent one
half of his fortune In experiments and
took over the management of the work
himself
For a long time he had no luck, and
II was only after some years of disap,
pointment and labor that satisfactory
metal was produced. 1t was under his
son Alfred that the business first real
ly began to flourish. Its exhibit at the
London exposition of 1851 revealed to
the world that little known German
firm was producing iron and steel that
could not be bettered by the industry
of any other country. Orders from the
Prussian government followed, and
the name and fortune of the firm were
made. Philadelphia Inquirer.

UGANDA'S ROYAL SUICIDES.
Kings Who Drank Poison When Sick
ness or Age Threatened.


Some of the curious customs of a
pastoral people Of Uganda. known as
the Banyoro. are told by the Rev. John
Roscoe. He said that when once a
king was enthroned his person became
sacred. and his food was restricted to
milk and beef from a sacred herd of
cows. which were kept apart from 9TH
Or cows.
The Banyoro monarch never allowed
himself to grow old or bis faculties TO
become impaired. When be thought he
was going 10 be seriously FL he called
council. arranged the state affairs with
the principal chiefs without giving
them any reason for thinking that he
was about 10 die and dismissed them TO
carry out his instructions.
Then he returned to his private house
and summoned his chief wife and or
dered her TO bring cup Of poison. He
drank the contents and In few min
utes was dead. The widow thereupon

al. For as long as possible the death
was kept secret. Each day the milk
and beef were brought to the royal res
idence, and inquirers were informed
that the king was suffering from an In
disposition which required him to rest
In the meantime the chiefs were en-
gagged in making private arrangements
TO guard the body and protect the sa-
cred herds of cattle during the wars
which would follow on the announce
ment of the death. When the news
leaked out the sons of the dead king
fought among themselves, brother kill

and attended his fathers funeral.
At the ceremony several of the wild
ows of the deceased king were dubbed
to death, as were the cowmen and the
cook. Other widows took poison. All
the bodies were placed in the grave,
the idea being that their ghosts should
