THE HONEYMOON.
Survival of the Primitive
Method of Marriage.
Brutal and Unromantic Court
ships of Various Savages.
“Can you tell me from what source
this custom of the honeymoon journey
Ls derived ? ,, asked a young married
man, just returned from his wedding
trip with much flattened pocket book,
Of a scientific friend.
“Why, my dear boy,” was the re
ply, “it is of purely savage origin and
represents a survival of the primitive
method of marriage by capture. In
the early days of social existence be
fore the era of civilization diwned the
(over always secured his bride by
force, just as the Australian native of
today knocks down the woman he de
sires for a wife with his club and
drags her ofl, this ceremony constitut
ing the requisite legal form. Among
the Kalmucks of central Asia the girl
whom a youth desires to win is put on
a horse and rides off at full speed, the
lover pursuing as soon as she is judged
to have got a fair start. If he cannot
overtake her the match is off, but if he
succeeds in catching her she becomes
his wife. When she likes the young
man it is to be presumed that she does
not ride her hardest.
“With the Ahitas of the Philiippinc
Islands when a man wishes to marry a
young woman she is given an hour’s
start in the woods, and, if he finds
her and brings her back before senset,
it is a lawful marriage. Ever so
many people still preserve the form of
marriage by capture, even though the
actual custom no longer exists. When
an Indian of Chile has agreed on the
price he shall pay for a girl to her
parents the recognized mode of pro
ceeding is that he surprises her, or is
supposed to do so, and carries her off
to the woods for a few days, after
which the happy couple return home.
“That seems much like a civilized
honeymoon.”
“The idea of it is precisely the same
and the custom is derived from the
same source. Just as I said, the
honeymoon is in fact a survival of the
primitive custom of marriage by cap
ture. As nations have advanced in
civilization and communities have be
come larger the actual capture of wives
has become inconvenient and unneces-
.-sary. Gradually, therefore, it has
sunk more and more into mere form.
‘Thus the requirements of fashion were
satisfied with your running off with
mt of town for a
month.”
“Very expensive I found it.
should have preferred not to acquire
my wife by capture.”
“Ah! But my dear fellow, you
were obliged to make a show of carry
ing her off if you wished to do the
proper thing. The very bride cake at
your wedding, of which I was given
a slice, is simply a survival of the bar
barous method of marriage by eating
together. Tins latter custom is in use
today among many tribes of Indians.
Among modern savages you will find
the same customs in vogue now that
were doubtless used by our own
primitive ancestors, and this consider
ation alone renders a study of their
ways very interesting.
“Speaking of weddings reminds one
•of kissing the bride. Now, as to that,
kissing seems to us so natural an ex
pression of affection that we should
•expect it to be found all over the
world. Yet it is unknown to the
Australian, the New Zealanders, the
Papuans, the natives of we.-t Africa
and the Eskimo. lu some parts of
Central Africa it is considered a mark
of respect to turn the back on a supe
rior.
“The Todas of the Neilgherry hills,
in India, show respect by raising the
open right hand and resting the thumb
on the cud of the nose. C'apt. Cook
asserts that the inhabitants of an island
in the Pacific ocean, called Mallicolo,
show admiration by hissing. Among
the Eskimo it is customary to pull a
person's nose as a compliment. And
among the Chinese, who are not rav
age but barbarous, a coffin is regarded
as a neat and appropriate present for
an aged person, especially if in bad
health.”— [Washington Star.
Stokers on an Ocean Steamship.
On thQjsteamship City of Paris there
are sixty firemen, who feed the fiery
maws of fifty-four furnaces, that
create steam in nine steam boilers.
Fifty coal passers shovel the fuel from
the bunkers to the furnace doors, and
the firemen toss it in. There is some
thing more than mere shoveling in
firing. The stoker must know how to
put the coals on so they will not burn
too quickly or deaden the fire. He
must know how to stir or poke the
fire so as to get all, or nearly all, the
caloric out of the coal. He must know
how to obtain the best results from
the Welsh coal he burnes on the voyage
to this port and the Americau coal he
uses on the trip eastward. Each kind
requires different handling.
Often the result of a race eastward
has been determined by the superior
knowledge of the handling of Ameri
can coal possessed by the winning
ship's stokers. To a man who thor
oughly understands it, firing is easier
than it used to be. But it is, never
theless, so arduous that the veterans
are not over 45 years old. Nearly all
the stokers on the City of Paris and
the City of New York are between 20
and 30 years of age. They receive
$20 a month and their board. The
leading stoker gets a few dollars more
and docs not have to work quite so
bard. He is usually the eldest of the
crew he directs. The coal passer, the
limit of whose ambition is to become
a fireman, gets $17.50 a month. The
leading coal passer, or trimmer, gets a
little more than this.
Service in the fire room is divided
into six watches of four hours each.
The fireman works and sleeps every
alternate four hours. After the first
day from port two out of every six
furnaces are raked out of the bare
bars during the first hour of each
watch. Thus iu a voyage, all the fur
naces are cleaned once in every twen
ty-four hours. The steam goes down
a bit in the hour while the cleaning is
going on. The perspiriug stokers
shovel into the furnaces fifteen tous of
coal every hour or 340 tons a day.
The ship usually takes in 3,000 tons at
Liverpool, and has between 500 and
800 tons left in her bunkers when she
arrives here.
The engineer’s department is entire
ly distinct and separate from the
firemen’s. On the City of Paris there
are twenty-six engineers, including
hydraulic and electrical. They are
FOR FARM AND GARDEN.
EARTHENWARE NEST BOWLS.
A very convenient nest bowl can be
obtained from any earthenware manu
facturer at aboutj$2 per dozen. They
are recommended for the ease with
which they can be cleaned and, when
necessary, painted, this keeping lice
out to some extent. Being moveable
they are easily transferred from one
place to another. They should be
about fifteen inches in diameter by
four inches in depth. Soft hay o r
straw cut in lengths of eighteen inches
or so makes a material that always
answers the purpose nicely. If you
have never seen or tried earthenware
bowls we can recommend them. We
do not say they are vermin proof, but
we do say they are better than a box,
as fewer bugs can harbor about them.
They can be cleaned in a moment and
fresh material substituted.—[National
Stockman.
TO FATTEN AN OLD OX.
It is difficult to fatten any animal
whose teeth have gone through age.
Not only is it unable to masticate the
food, but the digestive organs arc
weak, and the whole system is unable
to utilize the nutriment. If an at
tempt, however, is made, the follow
ing method might be tried: Keep the
animal warm; give cut feed, onc-half
| by weight of hay and onc-half corn-
educated in engine shops on shore and j mea [ and linseed oilcake meal iu equal
parts. If some cut roots cau be given
they would be of advantage ou account
of their aid to the digestion of other
food. To increase the appetite add
one pint of molasses to each feed and
feed four times a day. Give for drink
warmish water with meal stirred in it
and a handful of salt. Brushing the
ox and a soft, warm bed will help.—

Animals' Premonitions of Death..
Mr. L. H. Craig writes, affirming
that animals often have premonitions
of death. In proof of this assertion
he offers certain anecdotes. Here is
one oi them: “Years ago,” he says,
“I was staying at a farmhouse where
it was the custom every evening to
drive a small heard of cows from the
pasture to a lot near the barn.
It was decided one day to kill one of
the number, a yearling, whoso mother
also belonged to the herd. The calf was
accordingly left in the loft, while the
rest were driven to the pasture. No
sooner had the butcher slain his victim
than there could be distinctly heard
from the pasture half a mile away, the
mournful lowing of the mother, the
other cows occasionally joining in
what could be decribed only as a wail.
The circumstance interested me
very much and I walked over to the
j pasture. Through thirty years that
of.
grief has remained with me. It seemed
to me that there was the actual sobbing
of a bursting heart and to my child
ish eyes there were tears moistening
the face of the poor, gentle, sorrowful
creature before me.”—[New Orleans
Picavunc.
Dummy Clocks.
There are some decks that tell time
and some that only tell the right time
twice every day. They are the dum
my clocks which jewellers often have
for signs in front of their stores.
Have you ever seen them? and, if so,
have you noticed that almost all of
them point to the same time,—seven
teen minutes after eight? Perhaps, if
you have thought of them at all, you
supposed, as I did, that they were
made to point to any hour that the
workman Who made them might fan
cy ; but that is not so. A gentleman,
standing near one the other day, said,
“I never see one of those clock-faces
that I don’t think of Abraham
Lincoln.”
“Why so?” said a friend.
“Because those clocks mark the hour
and moment when he was shot. The
Jewellers' Association after his death
decided that all such clock-f' - ^es
should be set at 8.17, and this has
been done so generally since that you
scarcely ever see one which is not in
this way a sad reminder of the tragic
death of a great man.”—[Christian
Advocate.
The Snow Sheds of the Rockies.
Few persons have any idea as to the
extent to which snow sheds have to ho
used in the west by the railroads which
traverse the Rocky and Sie: ra moun
tains. The building of these snow
sheds and keeping them in repair form
a largo item of expense to the railroads
crossing these mountains, but if it
were not for these sheds many of these
roads would be inoperative during the
greater portion of the winter on
account of snow blockades,snow slides,
etc. The snow sheds of the Southern
Pacific railroad in the Sierra Nevada
mountains alone represent an outlay
of fully $3,000,000 to the company,
and about 2,000,000 feet of lumber
were required for their erection. It
cost about $2,000,000 to build them in
the first place and about $1,000,000 to
keep them in lepair during the past
twenty years. This is an item of ex
pense that the eastern roads do not
have to contend with. — [Atlanta Con

SCIENCE OF WOOL GROWING.
A French contemporary directs at
tention to the influence on the quality
of the fleece of the food which the
sheep eats, and dwells on the follow
ing four points: (1) To obtain the
right quantity of good wool the sheep
must be well fed; (2) if the sheep
receives too much food, or food which
is not sufficiently nutritive, the wool
lacks strength, is destitute of grease
and becomes in consequence flabby,
rough to touch, dry and harsh; (3)
regularity in the distribution of the
food is very important; faults iu this
matter affect the quality of the wool;
(4) there is a difference of opinion
about the action of certain food on
wool. All, however, agree in ascrib
ing a marked influence to fertile past,
ures. The wool of sheep that enjoy
/meh mstjirage is abundant; the fibre
is long iHkl is characterized by its
softness, wrAteuess,j^%tfe and strength.
Sturm, who is a high authority on the
subject, has proved that all the foods
which promote perspiration produce a
Hue wool.—[Bostou Cultivator.
THE USE OF BULBS.
How frequently the bulbous plants
are lacking in the gardens of this
country! In some cases it is because
their planting season is an unusual
one. Planting in spring is taken as a
matter of course, and plants requiring
to be set in spring receive attention.
In autumn the requirements of the
garden may be somewhat forgotten,
ami so, from one cause or another,
Hie bulb-planting season is passed and
the flowers that should make the gar-
den bright and gay in early spring are
lacking.
With a good variety of bulbous
plants pushing their green blades as
soon as the heavy frosts arc past there
will be no lack of interest iu the gar
den. But the bulbous plants have an-
other claim on our attention, for their
ea e of culture in the house window
enables us to make our rooms delight
ful with their brightness and frag
rance through most of the winter
season.
One of the satisfactory things in re
gard to planting bulbs is the almost
absolute certainty of success iu bloom
ing them. There cau be no failure of
the plants to grow, and the blossom
buds are already formed in the bulbs,
ready to come forth after the brief
season required for the roots to push
and get suficicnt strength to support
the flowers. In the open ground the
bulbs are equal to the vicissitudes of
winter and spring, are self-reliant,
and require no coddling.—[Vick's
Magazine.

possible by dlssolvinj
water until you have ^11 that
will take up. Make insufficient quan
tity to cover or nearly cover the but
ter, and when the butter is well
drained pour in the briue, revolve the
churn once or twice and the butter is
salted.
This way of salting gutter is both
simple and thorough; anyone can do
it and do it well the first time; and it
is thorough because every granule is
evenly salted and there will be no
streaks in the butter from uneven
salting, and if the brine is strained,
as it ought to be, there will be no
specks in the butter from the salt, as
therj often arc when dry salt is
used.
We always wash the butter with
weak brine—say a handful of salt to
three gallons of water. This, we
think, washes the butter better than
pure water and renders it less liable
to have white specks in it which may
come from hard particles of curd
formed in the cream if the latter has
not been properly stirred while ripen
ing/
Unless the buttermilk is desired for
use in the house it is a good plan to
put a pailful of weak brine in the
churn before drawing off the butter
milk. The brine assists in the separa
tion of the butter from the buttermilk,
thins the latter, and less butter runs
out of the churn while drawing off
the buttermilk- Our object iu wash
ing butter is to get rid of everything
that will flavor it or interfere with its
keeping qualities. If we can get the
butter pure, free from all caseous or
saccharine matter, our object is attain
ed, and we have as near pure butter
when it is brine-washed and brine-
salted as it is possible to get.

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.
Have the team well shod or not at
all.
Feed sunflowers to add lustre to the
plumage.
Ashes should never be mixed with
hen manure.
Always breed from a stallion that
will improve your stock.
Oats makes one of the best feeds to
give to the late-moulting hens.
Eggs should be gathered up regular
ly to prevent injury from freezing.
Ten sheep can bei kept on the same
pasture required fo^ one cow or one
brood mare.
If the fowls have^>een
'house if possible.
Hard work is n<
horse as the failurelto receive proper
attention after the \v s ork.
Turkey hens can nearly always be
sold at good prices after the holidays
if they are in good condition.
The colt raised in a stall or close lot
is apt to be more awkward and soft
than one given plenty of room.
Feed only enough at one meal for
the fowls to eat up clean. Waste of
feed and starving are two extremes to
be avoided.
It pays to have the harness of your
teams well oiled at least once a year.
After oiling wash with castilo soap
and keep clean.
If there arc burrs in your corn field
or pasture it wo_n|t pay to turn the
sheep in there to pick. It will pick
the price of the wool at shiaring time.
The three leading beef breeds arc
summed up by a good judge and care
ful feeder of cattle in this way:
“Polled Angus and Shorthorns are

fine, but for gain on grass the Here
ford leads.”
Be sure there are no pitfalls for the
stock to get info. If you have open
wells iu the pasture, fence them
strongly; have good posts we’.l set and
good boards or wires well stretched.
If the wells are of use no longer, fill
them up; that is by far the safer plan.
Even the loss of a calf is more than
the worth of the time to make these
places safe.
BRINE-SALTING BUTTER.
Speaking or this method of salting
butter, A. L. Crosby, writing to the
National Stockman, says: Wo have
been using this method of salting for
many years, and have not the least de
sire to go back to the old plan of dry
salting.
When the butter comes in grains the
size of No. 8 shot stop the churn, and
after revolving it a few times draw
off' the water and repeat with fresh
water until it runs perfectly clear
from the churu; this it will usually
do about the third time, depending
upon the quantity of water nsed in
washing; the more water the sooner
the butter is washed. This is the best
way to wash the Butter, no matter how
it is to be salted, and the only way by
which we can get rid of the butter
milk flavor.
Leave the plug out of the churn
after the last washing water is drawn
off, and let the butter drain thorough-
Australian Caoutchouc.
In view of the threatened dearth of
india-rubber and the rapid decimation
which is going on in the available
i gutta-percha trees, the statement that
a supply of what may, in some re
spects, be an effective substitute for
these useful articles of commerce is
plentiful in Australia, is of interest.
The Australian caoutchouc is said to
have been first observed in little sand
hollows, and resembled patches of
dried leather. It was found generally
in swamps, and the theory of its pro
duction was that it had resulted from
the overflow of petroleum or rock oil.
There is still a wide difference of
opinion as to the origin of the sub
stance. Some scientific authorities
ascribe to it a vegetable origin, and
regard it as a gum exuding from a
plant or lichen. Others assign to it a
subterranean orisin, but the known
facts concerning it are not corrobora
tive of this view.r-[Chicago News.

A Telegraph Pole as a Storehouse.
While walking through the Museum
of Natural History at Central Park,
recently, I saw in one of the glass
cases part of a cedar telegraph-pole,
thickly perforated with holes. On in
quiry, I learned that these holes had
been dug in the pole by the California
woodpecker for the purpose of storing
acorns for its winter food. Some
of the acorns may still be seen in the
pole, although most of them had been
extracted before it was cut down.
It has long been known that these
busy workers store acorns iu the bark
of standing trees, but the use of a
telegraph-pole for this purpose is an
entirely new selection, and while per
haps the feathered gentry find it a
very convenient storehouse, their
method of taking possession is decid
edly damaging to the telegraph pole.
There is a cousin of this same bird
in Mexico, who has discovered that
the stalk of the aloe makes a much
better storehouse than trees or tele
graph poles, besides saving him a
rcat deal of labor, The aloe, after
lowering, dies, but the hollQ»fcj , -'.Vk
:cttwva% Btauding. The flinty texture
of the stalk is easily pierced through
to the central cavity by the wood
pecker, who then thrusts in an acoru,
then another, then another, until the
hollow space is filled to the level of
the hole. He then makes a second
opening higher up, and thrusts in more
acorns until the level of that hole is
reached.
So he proceeds all the way up the
stalk, until it is completely filled
with acorns. Often aloes thirty miles
distant from the nearest oak tree have
been found stored in this way, involv
ing a journey for the birds of sixty
miles for each acorn stored.
All this good work is turned to use
iji times of famine, when not only the
woodpeckers, but other birds, and
even animals, live on this preserved
food. '—
Before I finish I must tell you of a
little practical joke which the wood
pecker occasionally indulges in. In
stead of inserting an acorn in the tree
selected he slyly puts Jin a small stone;
the wood grows over this in time, and
when the tree is finally taken to the
mill the stones play sad havoc with
the saws.—[St. Nicholas.
