Graveyard Marriages.

A strange custom prevails among a certain tribe in the Caucasus. Whe!. q single young man dies some one calls upon bereaved parent who has carried to the grave a marriageabl daughter in the course of a year and says: Your son is sure to want a wife. I'll give you my daughter, and you shall deliver to me the marriage portion in return .'' A friendly offer of this description is never rejected, and the two parties soon come to terms as to the amount of the dowry, which varies according to the advantages possessed by the girl in her lifetime. Cases have been known where the young mans father has giv- en as many as thirty cows to secure a dead wife for his dead son.

Ancient Ispahan.

Ispahan, the ancient Persian capitak has had a checkered career. Timour the Tartar took the city in the four teenth century, and is said to have massacred 10000 of the inhabitants It was then a trading town of inn portance under the caliphs of Bagdad. Three hundred years later it reached the climax of it's prosperity under Shah Abbas.

In the Gun Turret.

= Manipulating big gun in the turret of a battleship is just about as imper- sonal a form of fighting as exists. In trench warfare you can hear the shell coming in time to step out of it's path Gf you are lucky), but in turret fighting you are shut up tightly in a steel com partment, with no chance of escape. If any enemy projectile strikes the tur- ret you are killed! If the ship sinks your steel trap drowns you. And if you finally defeat the enemy by work ing a brass lever back and forward for five hours you wonder how many of your shots were hits and how many were mere terspouts.-Brooklyn Ea- gle

Destiny.

Destiny never forsakes the good man as long as he does not forsake himself and ignobly despair of himself. The genius which seemed to have departed from him returns to him again at the right moment, bringing new activity, fortune and joy. Sometimes the genius comes In the shape of a friend, some, times in that of an unexpected change of times. Sacrifice to this genius, even though you see him not. Hope in back looking. returning fortune, even when you deem her far off. If the left side is sore lay yourself on the right; if the storm has bent your sapling one way bend 1t the other way until it attaips once more the perpendicular medium Eerder

Table Forks.

The use of forks at table Is compar- atively modern According to the Ital- ian priest and scholar Peter Damiani, who lived in the eleventh century, in dividual table forks were first intro duced into Venice by 8 Byzantine prin- cess and spread from Venice to the rest of Italy. In France the first record Is in an inventory of Charles v. in 1879. As late as the sixteenth century the court use of forks was satirized as a novelty. They ara said to have been introduced into England by Thomas Coryate, who visited Italy in 1908, but as late as the English revolution of 1888 few English noblemen possessed more than dozen
