BRIDE sc0URGEs HER MATE
Girls OF Native Tribe Of Fortunes
West Africa Enjoy Their LAST
Hours OF Freedom.

The marriage market is q recog-
nized institution among the Konyama
people Of southwestern Africa. They
belong to the Bantu race, and the
Ovambo tribe, inhabiting little
known district Of South Angola, Por-
tuguese West Africa.
The marriage festivities, called
Efundura, are divided into three
stages, the first taking place In SOW
ing time, and the last two during the
autumn harvest season. The marriage
able girls dance before the whole tribe,
and the men select their mates, but
wait until the third stage before nam
ing them. After the second stage, in
which the dancing by the girls has
continued for two days and nights,
the prospective bride has a dried palm
leaf tied around her wrist by her pro-
spective husband. He then hoists her
on his shoulder and carries her away
about 20 yards. He puts her down,
and female attendants give her two
sticks with which to whip the man as
he runs away. After this incident the
brides all return to their kraals Gov
er themselves with white ashes, and
go all over the country. During this
trip they do pretty much as they like.
They sing and dance and extort gifts
from any men who have courted them
They also pounce on any man who as
sails them, and unite in beating him
with clubs.

In spite Of the success with which

to arrange marriages between Chris

him to ask the twenty-eight-year-o

on. The man was about the same age
as the lady in question, and had not

TOOK OATH BY THE PEACOCK
When Philip Of Burgundy and His
Knights Vowed to Engage to War
for Holy Land.

In 1853 Philip the Good, duke OF
Burgundy, vowed by the peacock to
go to the deliyerance of Constantine
pie, which had recently fallen into the
hands Of the Turks At the conclusion
Of the tournament and banquet held by
the duke at Lille, Holy Mother Church,
in the guise of lady in mourning
seated on an elephant and escorted by
a giant, approached the duke and de-
liyered a long versitied complaint,
claiming the aid and succor Of the
Knights of the Golden Fleece.
The herald advanced, bearing on his
list live peacock or pheasant, which,
according to the rites of chivalry, he
presented to the duke. At this eXtraor-
binary summons Philip, a wise and
aged prince, engaged his person and
powers in the holy war against the
Turks. His example was initiated by
the barons and knights of the assem-
bly,; they swore to God, the Virgin,
the ladies, and the peacock.

HOW BLAINE SAVED GARFIELD
Small Circumstance That for the
Time Preserved the President
From Assassin's Blow.

Due to the seemingly small detail
that he was admitted promptly to the
home Of Secretary Blaine when call
Ing the evening preceding the Presi-
dents assassination, James A. Gar
field probably owes his lease of life
for II hours longer.
On the evening of July 2, 1881, the
President, as he approached the
Blaine home, was espied by the secre-
tary, who was seated at a window.
Blaine hurried to the door and had
1t opened when Garfield arrived at
the threshold In the light of evi-
dence brought out at the trial, Gui-
teau was logging the Presidents foot
steps that evening and intended to
fire when he waited for the Blaine
door to be opened.
Blaine walked home with the Pres
ident, and the assassin, again lying in
wait, could not bring himself to fire in
the dual presence. Before the two
parted it was arranged that Blaine
should accompany the President mex
morning to the railway station. The
President intended to leave for Will
liams college to attend an anniversary
celebration.
Soon after the arrival Of the presi-
dental party at the waiting room Of
the old Sixth street station Of the
Pennsylvania rhilroad, Sixth and B
streets, Guiteau fred the shot that
caused Garfeld's death.

peIectabIe Siberian Dish.

The Siberians make much of their
cold table"-raw fish, caviar salads,
and that delicious crab whose meat
gives no nightmare, indigestion or
headache.
Their best dish Is chicken, prepared
In a most unusual way. Butter Is laid
thickly on a bone; layers Of light and
dark meat are wrapped around 1t;
then the whole is rolled in egg and
crumbs and baked. It makes q small
ham" of chicken and is very tender
One must be careful in cutting into 1t
lest the hot butter squirt out beyond
the plate.
The Russian Is heavy meat eater,
due largely to the fact that there is
an abundance of game, pheasants b.
Ing cheaper than chickens, and in
some places venison Is cheaper than
steak. In the palmy days the Siberian
table must have groaned.-Cody Marsh

WEDNESDAY IN HOLY WEEK
Solemn Ceremonies in Sistine Chapel
Concentrating the Death and
Resurrection of Christ.

At the Office of the Miserere, which
is sung in the SiStine chapel at Rome
on Wednesday of Holy week, a cere-
mony takes place in which a triangular
candlestick, upon which are 10 can
dies. corresponding to the number Of
psalms recited, is placed at the epistle
side Of the altar.
After each psalm, one Of the candles
is eXtiDguished by master of cere-
monies and after the benedictus the

behind the altar and not brought out

cauticle IS sung the six candles on the
altar are eXtinguished as well as those
above the rails.
The custom of concealing the last
and most elevated candle and bringing
1t forward burning at the end of the
service, is an allusion to the death and
resurrection of Christ. In the same
