A far wiser way for him to do is to talk it over with the parents. If the girl is attractive and the family is congenial the parents of the young man make overtures to the girl's parents. They are soon on a friendly footing and the ques tion of marriage is readily settled. The settlement as to what the girl's dot shall be is an important point at issue. The Chinese, along with the Turks, believe that a girl is far better off dead than unmarried. Though they are exceedingly anxious to have their daugh ters married they believe it is beneath their dig nity to carry on these negotiations themselves, but leave this work to a professional matchmaker. The go-between visits the different homes alone, where she takes note of the age, education, social posl tion and wealth of the different girls. She then gives a long and accurate account of the girl's fam ily. One is selected from this number, and if both plarties are satisfied the affair is handed over to the necromancer. If the stars say the young peo ple are selected wisely the betrothal is announced. But the matchmaker has still a part to play. Shortly tefore the marriage she brings the young girl the gifts the groom would send her. These usually include a leg of pork, a bag of money, two bottles of wine, and two candles. But the girl is expected to return a part of these offerings. The Chinese parents do not believe it is necessary for young persons to love each other so long as the augur is satisfied. The young man rarely sees the girl until after they are married. When the bride arrives at the home of the bridegroom he is there to meet her, but when she steps out she is so veiled that her features are hidden. He leads her into the room where the ceremony will take place. Then he seats himself on a high chair to show his superiority and she prostrates herself before him until he lifts the veil and sees for the first time his future wife's face. The Russians are another people who believe that marriage is the only natural and rational des tiny for a woman. Confident that Cupid is a fool ish and erratic boy whose judgment is not always the wisest, they make use of a matchmaker, called a svacha. She is a most important personage, and when her judgment, which is excellent, fails her she can call the stars, diamonds, hearts and clubs to her aid. hBut the marriage ceremonies are even more com plicated. On the day before the wedding the bride is conducted to her bath. T'here her friends spend long hours combing her hair and while awtay the time singing and talking of what her daily life will be after she is married. The ceremony is performed with the rites of the eastern church and takes Iplace .eieht days before the marriage. The service is divided into three parts. The first is where the gold rings are exchanged. Then the bride and bridegroom are crowned with crowns of silver fili gree, and lastly comes the dissolution of the crowns. Though matchmakers are not employed in Japan love matches are exceedingly rare, and it is not un " es, never accepts anything beyond jewelry. Her d parents are expected to buy her trousseau, furni- t( ture for the house, and her spinning wheel. The p day of the wedding these things are exhibited, but b at the bridegroom's house. h Though in Switzerland no matchmaking is done, o a young man must often prove to the girl he is worthy, of asking for her hand. The girls always a have the privilege of saying "Yes" or "No," though a in some places the choice of a bridegroom is re- lt stricted to their own locality. In some districts b a man must lead the goats up and down the moun- V tain to show the girl he can work for her. In other c towns where the haying is done it is his part to a stack up all the hay and pile it into the barn. Though she helps him in his long hours of toil, he it is expected to do most of the work. Still he toils a on bravely, feeling that he is being rewarded suffi- e ciently by a pleasant word, a friendly smile, and It that if the work is well done he has a chance to win 1 her as his wife. b Until recently in Egypt girls and boys were mar- ti ried when they were young. It was common for a s' girl to be married by the time she was 14 and a boy when 16. But they now wait a few years longer. ti The parents always select the man they wish for T the son-in-law. The girl is satisfied to know that It she is going to have new dresses and a great deal tl of new pretty jewelry. The bride and bridegroom rarely see each other before the day of the wedding. a An important part of the ceremony is to give a V bride food and a large urn, which symbolize that c' she will have food and water. h There are no people so particular about selecting h husbands and wives for their children as the Moors. b Their sons and daughters have no right to say e who they will and will not marry. For after the parents have chosen, a word of complaint might re sult in death. A son dare never take a wife unless his mother approves, and she is usually chosen from the young women of their own clan. But when they cannot find a girl in the village who t( pleases them they seek one among other clans. b But the young man is supposed to be too timid to i court alone the girl whom his mother chooses, and ci so he usually takes several friends with him. It is s their duty to sing the girl's praises in the hope of $ giving him courage to carry on the courtship. fr But the formal engagement must take place in ti the presence of the head man. It is before him that v; the young man hands over the sum he has agreed it to give the girl's father. This varies according to 2i what he can afford, the beauty of the bride, and w their social position. The bride usually buys the w trousseau with the money the young man gives a: her father. b Moorish girls are exceedingly fond of pretty a clothes and plenty of handsome jewelry, so their o trousseaux are often wonderfully elaborate. On it her wedding day a professional woman from the f, town is employed to dress the bride. She paints it her face, combs out her hair, and arranges the nr jewels. Not much before sunset does the bride- o groom send the box in which the bridels )o D0 clnP; :s acted on a mule to his house. Before she goes his house she drives all about town. In some arts when the bride enters her new home the 'idegroom walks backwards holding a dagger in s hand and she follows him, touching the piont the blade with the tip of her finger. Where a family can afford it a girl usually is .companied by an old nurse, who gives her good ords of counsel as the lazy mule trudges along isurely. Before she leaves the girl, whom she is cared for since the bride was a child, she hispers: "Take courage; you need not fear. He Innot help but love you; you are sweet, good, 2d kind." Among pritiitive peoples marriage usually more insistent and girls are courted in even less romantic manner. Among the Australians rery girl must marry, whether she will or not. is considered wonderfully strange if a girl is l years old and is still unmarried. This is not ?cause the girls or parents are romantic, but le parents feel that a girl is only worth the toil ie gives. "The man," says the Rev. H. C. Meyer, "regards iem more as slaves than in any other light. hey are a necessary commodity, valuable only as ag as useful, to be thrown aside after they serve teir purpose." Worse still, their masters can throw them out id divorce them at will. The Kaffirs buy their ives with cows and do not pay more than they Ln help. A woman no sooner enters her new )me than she is given some task to perform so Ir lord can see if he has made a good bargain. e values her less than his cows. This is seen the fact that he permits her to do all the work ccept tend to his cattle and enter the kraaJ here they are kept. BLACK FOX FARMS. Consul John H. Sherley writes from Charlotte. *wn, Prince Edward Island: "There are three ack fox farms near Atherton where these an. ials are raised for their skins. These farms rntain 20, 25 and 30 foxes, respectively. The ,ins are sold in London at prices ranging from X00 to $1,800 each, according to quality. I am formed that the fur is used for ornamenting te cloaks of royalty, as it is the only fur to hich gold will cling. The farm containing 30 xes is on Cherry's island. The farm containing foxes is in a rough, broken woods country, here the animals are confined by heavy woven ire netting. The wire is set in the ground two Id three feet, in order to keep the foxes from irrowing under, and is about eight feet high eove ground, with a curve inwardly at the top each post of another three or four feet of wire, order to keep them from climbing over the *nce. They sleep in the open the year round, hollow trees and in hollow logs; These ani als are not cross-bred, but are confined to their in kind, to keep the fur of tle best quality pos, art. .., FACTS FOR SICK WOMEN . ,9 LYDIA E.
