THE BILQULA INDIANS. — AB Interesting Account of Their Mare | sae: riage Ceremonies. Mr. Ph. Jacobsen, in a letter to his well-known brother, Captain A. Jacob- sen, gives the following description of the marriage ceremonies of the Bilqu- la Indians of British Columbia. An Indian who intends to marry calls wpom his intended wife's parents and arranges with them how much he is to pay for permission to marry the girL Among people of high descent this is done by messengers, sometimes as many astwenty being sent to call on the girl's father. They are sent by the man’s parents before the young man is of age. In many instances both man and girl are not more fthan eight or nine years old. The meesen- gers.ge in their boats to the girl's house, and carry on their negotiations without going ashore, where the rela- tives of the girl are standing. The messengers of the young man’s parents praise his excelence and noble de- scent; the great exploits of his father, grandfather and ancestors; their wars, victories, and hunting expeditions; their liberality at festivals, ete. Then the girl’s relatives praise the girl and her ancestors, and thus the negotia- tions are carried on. Finally a num- ber of blankets are thrown ashore by the messengers; andjthe girl’s rela- tives protest, and maintain that the number is not sufficient to pay for the permission to marry the girl. In or- der to obtain their consent, new blankets are thrown ashore one by one, the messengers continually main- ‘taining that the price paid is too great. Generally from twenty to fifty blank- ets, each of the value of about fifty ‘cents, are paid. ; After that the boy and the girl are considered engaged. When they come to be grown up the young man has to serve a year to his father-in-law. He must fell trees, fetch water, fish and hunt for the latter. During this time he is called Kos, which means ‘‘one who woos.” After a year has elapsed the marriage is celebrated. At this time great festivities are celebrated. Seven or eight men perform a dance. They wear dancing aprons and leg- gings, trimmed with puffin-beaks, hoofs of deers, copper plates and bells. If the groom should be a wealthy man, who has presented to his wife many small copper plates, such as are used as presents to a bride, these are car- ried by the dancers. The singing mas- ter, who beats the drum, starts a song in which the dancers join. The song used at the marriage festival is sung in unison, while in all other dances each dancer has his own tune and song. The first dancer wears a ring made of cedar bark. His hair is strewn with eagle down, which flies about when he moves and forms a cloud about his head. The groom presents the first dancer with a piece of calico, which the latter tears to pieces, which he throwns down in front of each house of the village, cry- ing, ‘“Hoip!” in order to drive away evil spirits. These pieces of calico which he throws down in front of the houses have a lucky meaning, and at the same time express the idea that the groom, when he comes to be a wealthy man, will not forget the inhabitants of any house when giving a festival. The dancers swing their bodies and arms, stamp their feet, and show the copper plates to the lookers-on. Then the bride's father brings a great number of blankets, generally double the num- ber of those he had received from the groom, and gives them to his daughter. The bride orders a few blankets to be spread before the groom. She sits down, and he puts his hand upon her head. Then the groom is given for each of the parts of his body one or more blankets. Finally he is given a new blanket. After the bride's father has given a blanket to each dancer and tothe drummer, the villagers are in- vited to a great feast. At this time groom and bride eat for the first time together. —Science. Maxims for Hot Weather. The Listener has three tried and trustworty maxims for hot weather conduct, and outside of them he knows no trick or device by means of which the dog star can be circumvented. The maxims are: 1. Wear as light and loose clothing as you dare. 2. Take plenty of exercise, but in a calm way, 3. Drink no alcoholic or effervescent beverages. The clothing question is easily solved. With fifteen dollars a man can at least get certain articles of clothing that will make him very com- fortable on a hot day, as far as cloth- ing can go. In exercising, the great point is not to be afraid of the heat, but not at the same time to choose violent diversions. The youth or maiden who is in the habit of playing base-ball or lawn tennis, and quite ac- customed to the exercise, may play it on a hot day as safely as ever, and people who are in the habit of Walking 8 fair amount have nothing to fear but every thing to gain from keeping up their customary exercises in summer. But exceptional physical tests should certainly be avoided under a burning sun.—Boston Transcript. ————---____ —The “Madura.” or true eating banana, is never brought to Northern climes, the imported varieties being those that are used for cooking pur- poses.

Peisoned With Malaria. ' Mr. S. D. Price a native of this state but now a prominent and in- fluential citizen of Dallas, Texas, writes under the date of April 12, 1889: “About three years ago I was living in in a malaria district of Ga., | and while there frightful sores broke | out allover my body.

Noble has re- versed Tanner's reratings and Tan- ner says Noble instigated for his | reratings similar to the Manderson case. Is it after all a quarrel be- tween the two men about whose gang should get the benefit of the spoils? Was the animosity of Har- rison and Noble grounded only on Tanner’s disposition to fertilize his own boom? The republican habit of using public revenues for private and po- litical ends has been very emphati- cally impressed on the country and it will be readily believed from the cross firing of Tanner and Noble covetousness about the placing of the richest re- ratings had something to do with the break between the two men. That with the scare of Harrison, al- ready keen on the scent of a second term, over the havoc Tanner was making in the cash balances which had to be published, quite enough to explain why the administration had to throw over its pledges to the G. A. R. President Elliot of Harvard, ap- plauds Mr. Cleveland because he was the first to stand between the treasury and undeserving, politically bestowed pensions. Mr. Cleyeland’s administration tried to deal as rap- idly as possible with all honestly earned pensions and to treat all ap- plicants alike under the terms of the law. Corporal Tanner and, accord- ing to his account, Secretary Noble, changed the practice, let the regular applications of meritorious soldiers accumulate in pigeon holes, while the office took up reratings and spe- cial claims for political and person- all favorites. Republicanism is a synonim for favoritism. Special legislation, special contracts, special rulings and special favors generally are the ma- chinery of the party. To be on the inside isto be a good republican. To be on the outside is to get noth- ing but tariff tracts and the chance to pay taxes.—K. C. Times.

The able editors who have been crowding their patriotic pens into a gallop to sound the alarm aad point with dismay at the encroachments of English capitalists who are buying up American industries, may per haps have their fears allayed by the report which comes from Pennsy} vania to the effect that its ironmak ers are unloading their plants to Englishmen in order to get the mon- ey toestablish better paying mills in the south. It will be a very cold day when Englishmen overreach Pennsylvania _protectionists.—St. Louis Republic. The next electicns which the coun- try will excite iteelf about will occur three weeks from next Tuesday.

Two congressmen will be elected on the same Jay to fill vacan- cies caused by death. One will take the place of James Laird, of Nebras ka, and the other will succeed S. S. Cox, of New York. Senato Vest’s Dates Cancelled. Sedalia, Mo., Oct. 12.—By the ad vice of his physician, Dr W. H. Evans, Senator George G. Vest has cancelled his engagements to speak at the taiff reform meetings in this state and other speakers will be se lected. When the senator came to Sedalia two weeks ago he was trou- bled with a severe cough and is now down with a bad case of facial neu- ralgia. While his condition is no: alarming his family and friends are determined that he shall not unnec essarily expose himself in his present state of health. Senator Allison of Iowa, in a speech the other day in support of protection, advanced the argument that import duties are levied on lux- uries which only the rich buy, and for which they can afford to pay. Does Senator Allison call sugar, salt, lumber, wooler and cotton fabrics, leather and manufactures of iron and steel “iuxuries.”—-K. C.
