C- 1 .s'. no — The value of wives varies in different fl countries. In America they are often I expenseive companions,but in the high- iM er regions of the river Amar, and on I the Ussuri, in Siberia, according to information furnished to the British Sei- | entific Association by the Rev. Henry ■ Lansdell, the price of a wife is eight or » ten dogs, a sledge, or two cases of brandy, fl In another part of the world, according s to evidence furnished to the same associ- |( ation by Wilfred Dowel, in New Britian I and the neighboring islands on the east | coast of Guinea, the wives are the ab- B solute property of their husbands, and I are bought ami sold, and eaten by their k better halves. There was one New I Britian young women who rebelled at ■ her matrimonial relations, whereupon ■ her busband said <■ ■ ihl put her to L * tt* i r use. and straigutway killed and I ;1 *■ ; er. Unfortunately, according to I ti,. i ame authority, the eating in New | Britian is now confined to wives. The g natives are fond of missionary meat, I and think the English are unutterably | stupid because they arc unwilling to I feast on such a delicacy as the human I thigh, prepared with cocoanut milk I and dressed with banana leaves, Mr. I Powell does not advise women to emi- I grate to New Britian. I "Will Lane, son of a bank president I and Miss Maud Beeman, at Rockford, g 111., went to Belot and were married, I On their return their parents suggested I that the ceremony be peformed again I in the Episcopal church. This was as- I sented to. and arrangements were made I accordingly. The next day the hus- I hand was denied admittance to his I wife’s residence, her parents having de- I I termined to let the affair proceed no I further until certain negotiations with I Lane’s father had been terminated. J I The elder Lane refused to settle any I money on bis son’s wife, .and the Bee- *;> mans, with equal stubborness, declines V" ! to let her go out of their sight. “How is Sisis for Telegraphing J!!’’ A Bombay paper of recent date thus ■ announces a domestic occurrence.

France, was visited by the I A'irgin Mary in a grotto, so she said, I and commanded to stretch on the ground. I She did so. and now the famous foun. I tain sprung up. That was in 1858. I The Rev. Father Van Schie of Lourdes I f is now in St. Louis. He vehemently I* I avers the genuineness of the miracles / He says: -‘Lourdes contains about i 6,000 or 7,000 inhabitants, and its A growth has not been very large since the miracles began. It is about twenty minutes walk from the town to the grotto. The road was formerly simply a shepards' path, hut now it is a wide street, with hotels and stores on either side. At the end of the road, just un- ■ derneath the grotto, there is a large I plaza, paved with asphalt, which holds ; perhaps 8.000 people. The fountain is i situated at the foot of the grotto, and beside it a large marble tablet twelve feet square has been set up. containing ■the words of the apparition. The church :is on the top of the same hill, and is reached by a very steep incline, which is Aery trying on processions making the pilgrimage. It is very plain, and will hold probably 1.500. The most remarkable thing about it is the inside i decorations. The walls are nearly cov- ' ered with votive tablets, the records of cures. Every procession ofj pilgriius who come to the place march under a I banner, which they leave behind as an L j offering These banners, which arc almost countless, and some very costly, have been arranged in a thousand disI ferent ways, so that the interior of the j church is covered with them. otive offerings of gold, silver, and bronze, prini cipally hearts and crosses, serve tocomI plete the curious effect. During the last year several large pilgrimages arrived, and on the feast day there were 25.000 strangers at the shrine, many of them from distant parts of Europe. There are many cures.’ • •
