WED ONLY CLOSE RELATIONS
Custom Of Burmese Tribe Leads 70
Marriages Between Extreme Old
Age and Youth.

The only occasions on which laos
and lassies of the Red Karen tribe In
Burma meet are at marriage feasts
and at wakes, according to the Ma
tional Geographic Magazine. These
festivals last over three nights, and
are Veritable orgies, with great ex-
cess Of eating and drinking. Both
sexes are well-seasoned vessels. since
they begin drinking strong drink be-
fore they are weaned- Marriages ara
limited to near relations and result
quite often In unions where husband
and wife are Of very unequal age, the
husband fifteen, the wife seventy. or
the other way about.
Punishment for marriage ont OF the
clans was formerly very severe. A large
hole was dug in the ground and a
log placed across It. to which two
ropes were attached. The ends Of
these were noosed round the necka
Of the offending pair They were
made to jump into the pit, and so hang
themselves
Now they are accommodated In

PROVED ABILITY TO Reason
heartlsss Old 5aboen Leader Had
Qualities That Might Be Con-
sldered Almost Human

Apes are so human that even when
they display traits that in man would
be simply abOminabIe one cannot help
laughing. a correspondent in South
Africa writes that certain large apes
are so much in the habit Of raldlng
the coffee plantations that they have
to be guarded.
Among the coffee trees grows g
shrub the fruit of which the apes
particularly enjoy. But as wasps
casten their nests to the shrubs, the
apes, fearful OF being stung, usually
keep away from them. One morning
the people in a certain plantation
heard the apes making fearful out
cries and, rushing out, saw this
singular scene, a large baboon, the
leader Of a band, was throwing some
young apes at the wasp nests just as
a boy might have thrown stones at
them.
The poor victims, stung by the In.
iuriated insects, were crying piteous-
~, but the old baboon paid no heed
to them whatever. While they wers
suffering from the anger OF the
wasps he quietly proceeded to regals
himself with the fruit, which he
could now pluck without danger. DC.
casionally he would turn round and
graciously throw a handful to sc1ns
females and young standing a little
way of.
