Strange Marriage Customs.

A very odd marriage ceremony takes
place in Afghanistan just after one Of
Afghanistan's brown daughters WEEDS.
Then a number Of men in weird masks
surround the bridegroOm's house. and
after that dozen or so men clad In
black, with skeletons outlined on their
skin-tight garb, dance frantically
round the figure Of woman stretched
on the ground.
This is to teach the bride what will
happen to her if she seeks affinities or
does not conduct herself with proper
decorum towards her husbands moth
err; what will happen to her If she
does not conduct herself with proper
decorum towards her husband they
indicate will be far worse.
This is the naive Afghanistan man.

Adjusting Ones Burden.

To make the thing work right you
should load up gradually. A sudden
load is apt TO stall you. To say the
least you are apt to become discour-
aged when confronted with a heavy
burden. Men have been known to
break, under the strain Of new loads.
When you are accustomed to things
they don't seem SO heavy to carry
Familiar roads are never so long as
new ones Load up gradually and
learn how to carry each new weight
and it will surprise you how much
you can get away with. We are not
advocating that you try to do every
thing. That is fair neither to you
nor to others. Load up only with
what may legitimately be associated
with your speciality. There are some
things you will be able to do better
than any one else. They are your
job. You will be stronger by doing
your part.
