been baptized as Christians. It is
the intention Of the committee to
preach the Gospel to the afflicted vic

Aroma is best known to travellers as
the station on the railroad from Milan
where Lake Maggiore first bursts into
view. To Italians It is best known for
its plantations Of American corn, a
novelty In Europe.
Today, Aroma is an industrial CEN
ter, but of in the northeast corner
the castle Of Angero adds a touch TO
the landscape which bespeaks medic
val Importance. The famous Bor-
romeOs-they who produced Cardinal
de Medici, who became Pope Plus Nv
--dwelt in ancestral halls on the out
skirts Of the village.
At the Hotel Reale, a tablet calls
attention to the fact that Garibaldi
was a guest there in 1848.
That "Arona, Lago Maggiore," Turn
ers wonderful canvas, was not made
from photographs can be gathered
from Ruskin's letter, in which he says,
"No such hills are, or ever were, in
sight from Aroma. They are gathered
together, hill by hill, partly from the
Battles Of OleggiO, partly from above
the town here, partly from half way
up the lake near Baveno and then all
thrown together in one grand mag
mary chain"

HAVE TO PURCHASE BRIDES
Santall Indian Bridegroom Must Lay
Up Money Before He Can Az
plre to Wife.

The Santail Indians must literally
purchase their brides. They pay u
sum of money to the girls PARENTS
usually about 100 rupees-and, in adj
ditlon, they present the mother ana
the female relatives with new sarlR
or Shawls.
Should the bridegroom choose a
widow for his wife, she will only cOse
half the sum mentioned, The reason
why the Santail Indians hold widows
in less regard than unmarried females
is because they assert that in the,
next world man and wife are reunited.
hence a widow who ,marries again iB
only 'lent" to her Second husband.
When young man courts a girl who
does not favor his suit he adopts an
eccentric way to cure her stubborn
ness. After having dipped his finger
in red paint, he goes in search Of the
lady and imprints his mark on her
forehead. Then he may claim her aa
his wife.
