This Intensely Interesting and grip

Elizabethan authors, with the (tower

during the next loo years remained a

Where Courtship /?
Privilege of Women i
Not only docs the Chum maiden iu
sonic districts of indo China make the 1
propositi, but with her also lies the
lultiutiv# for divorce. Moreover, when J
divorce occurs, which it docs often, j
the wife retains the home, the chll
dren, und one-third of the property. ^
I'ven more favored is rtie girl of'
the "maternal kinship" tribes of As
suin. Site proposes, und, if he accepts,
the marriage lakes place and the
husband must then come and live with
her people. And the wife may divorce
her husband when she pleases By so
doing, indeed, site gains much, for she
not only keeps the children and her
own property, but all tier divorced
husband's property us well. If a husband
divorces his wife he must still
surrender Ills entire property and the
children to her.
The maiden of Bopda I'orjus In
southern Indiu resorts to a severe test
when selecting a husband. The chosen
man has to accompuny her Into the Jungle,
where she applies fire to his hare
back. If the pain draws a yell from
him, he Is contemptuously rejeofed.
She takes him for husband only If he
suffers in silence.

Production of Honey
Important in Quebec.
In the "Jesuits' Relutlon," dated
1038, it states the Indians used to
make u decoction containing alum und
honey as a remedy for typhus. The
Indians called the English bee the
white man's fly. it Is said that the
first hive wus Imported Into America
In 1038.
The first agricultural statistics of,
Quebec hardly dnte as far back as
1870. The first census showed 41,285
hives, with a total yield of 048,000
pounds of honey. In 1880 the harvest
had considerably decreased, and this
year gave only 650,000 pounds. The
1800 census gave 48,418 hives, with a
production of 759,000 pounds. The
growth for the following years was
nothing short of a wonder, l.OOI.(KK)
pounds being produced by 60,068 hives,
the value of honey production and
hives being over $500,000.
The annual production In the prov
lnce of Quebec amounts to 4,000.000
pounds of extracted honey and 800.000
pounds of comb honey.
Hessians in Revolution
"Hessian?" Is a term In American
history for the German conscripts who
were hired and sent over by England
to help subdue the revolting Colonists.
They came from six of the small states
of Germany, hut as over half of them
were from Hesse^Ca^sei and HesseDarmstadt,
the name "Hessians" was
generally applied to them. They were
first commanded by Lieut. Gen. Phil
Ipp von Helster, but he was succeeded
by WUhelm von Knyphnusen In 1777.
They took a prominent part in the
battles of Long Island. White Plains!
Trenton, Bennington, Brnndywlne. Ger
mnntown, Guilford courthouse, Yorktown
and several other smaller en
gngements. Of the approximate 30,000
who came over to Atactica, only
17,000 returned to Germany. About
2,200 were killed outright or died of
their wounds.
Ten Plagues of Egypt
Contrary to the popular notion,
there were ten plagues of Egypt, it is
a common error to speak of the -seven
plagues of Egypt." The ten plagues
according to the Bible, were at f,,b
lows: The turning of the Nile IniV,
blood, covering the land with fr,,gs
turning the dust Into lice, sendinswarms
of Cies. killing of the cattle
