In one ribe of Evstern A.rica it is regard d asthe ne }Jus ultra of gallan!- ry for the lover to parade before the hut of his inamorata astride of a huge boar. The Tunisian marriages are ar- ranged when tho children are young. but the principal parties concernel hate the privileze of refusal when they become of age if disappointed. In Thibst the voung man sets his mind on his swee heart and informs her parents of his incliaatim, who, if they approve of the mutch. go and have a three days’ carousal at his hoense and the marriage is complete. With the inhabitants of the Fji Islands potvgamy is the order of the day. A wife is procured by giving presente to her paren'a, who have the night of di-p sal. 11 some places chil- dren are disposed of when quite young. The courting of the al original of Aus- tralia consisted si» py in knocking the woman ef his prefer-nee down with a club and carrying her off This fo-m of wooing was as efficacicus as brief, and was certainly coumendable on the score of economy. In Indis quite young chillren are married; gorgeons processions parade the streets and then repair to a large room.

He takes them back to her. and they appoint a dav of murriage. The eustom of selling the clothes is made a test of the man’s abili'y to provide for his wife, it being usual to ask the amount which will be requ'red to be- gin the worid with. The wav the Vizr-s—a powerful tribe in Afghanista:—manage such affairs is quite exceptional. ‘The lady there does the selecting, and when she has m:d~ her choies she inf rus the drammer of the exmp, whose duty it is, at the first opportnnity, to pina these i handkerchief to the *fortunate one's" cap in pull c, and, at the same time. to mentien the name of the “alori g one.” Tiis being done, the man is bound to acerpt, if he can pay he price his would-b- wife’s fah-r sis for his daughter. —Ch'rary ‘ers oo-———_—_ OF GENERAL INTEREST. —The collection of old and rare coins is now said to give employment to « number of traveling men from each of the large cites of the country. —At Montgomery, Ala., the other day, four colored men stood up and were married to four colored women. The men were all brothers and the women all sisters. —Fairmount,” in Leavenworth County, Kin., has an orchard con- taining 437 acres, with 50,000 apple trees. This is claimed to be the largest apple orchard in the United States. —The population of the United States was 50,155.786 on June 30. 1880, and on June 30, 1886, was 59,993,939. ‘Tne increase is now about two per cent. per annum, plus the annual im- mnigration. —An Omaha lawyer took a diamond Ting asa retainer from a man accused <f yrand larce On his way to Inneheon he slipped into a jewelry store to ask what the diamond was worth and the jeweler identified the ring as one that had been stolen from him. —Indianais proud becanse she claims to be the first State to adopt a daily weather service. The headquarters are to be at Indianapolis, from which one hundred telegrams will be sentout each morning early, giving the proba- bilities for twenty-four hours in ad- vance. —Prof. St. Andrews, of the Central Experimental Farm of Canada, pro- poses trying some experiments with a hardy variety of tea grown in Japan, and which, it is hoped, may prove suc- cessful in the Dominion, as the northern part of Japan has a climate about as cold as that of the Ottawa valley. —One of the inmates of an Indiana reformatory for young women was re- leased on a two weeks? parole, and took the occasion to be married. This being clearly against the rules of the institution and the laws of the State, which forbids marriage under sach cir- cumstances, the bride is spending the honeymoon in prison. —The remnant of the once great tribe of Tarratine Indians now live on an island in the Penobscot river, near Bangor. They are civilized, and most of them are prosperous. At a recent wedding of two of them the bride wore arobe of ‘delicate blue brocade satin, trimmed with cream Spanish lace and cream satin ribbons,”’ and one of the yuests wore a ‘peacock blue surah silk and satin. with overdress of Orien- tal Ince.” —There 18 a man in Copenhagen, Denmark, who wants to be a St. Louis policeman. He recently applied for the job, and sent his photograph to show what a solid man he was’ He wrote that he was six feet four inches tall, weighed 220 pounds, and could outrun and onutwalk any man of his size in his cauntry. The fact that there are over two hundred citizens of St. Louis whose applications for just such 2 place are ahead of his makes the Co- penhagen man’s chances slim. —In Central and Northern Dakota crops of all kinds the past year have turned off a surprisingly large yield even for that productive country. Hundreds of instances can be cited where the year's crop of wheat will pay for dwelling, barn, teams, farming utensils, and still leave a confortable little stake forfuture needa. All of the best tilled farms have made a gross re- turn of twenty-one dollars per acre. It is the general rule that the cost of rais- ing a crop in Dakotais eight dollars peracre.
