WIFE ONCE BOUGHT

Proceeding Many Centuries Ago Was Universal. Preoont-Day “Marriage Portion” May Be Regarded as a Symbol of Old Custom —Some Curious Wedding Ceremonies. MP ... Among far older civilisations than that of the Anglo-Saxon the system of wife-purchase had ceased before Britain was a real country. The Indian law-giver, Manu, strictly forbade it and said: "A man who, through avarice, takes a gratuity, is a seller of his offspring.” In the historical times of the Greeks they no longer bought wives. In Rome “coemptlo” was only a symbol of the ancient custom. In the Jewish Talpiud the purchase is also symbolic, as Is frequently the Mohammedan “mabr.” Withal, the bride price, “foster leans" and marriage gifts, when returned, were converted into dowry and became at first the bride’s property. Thus marriage portions chiefly derived their origin from the habit of’purchase, and dowry often became, as with the Hebrews, a religious duty. Not less than the tenth of the father's property was considered a just dowry. In Aristotle's time nearly two-fifths of all Sparta belonged from this cause to the women. Sir Henry Maine considers that the ajpazlng thrift of the French is also owing to this custom, which probably descended to them from the marriage law of Augustus Caesar. It was only by an anachronism that Euripides made Medea lament that women were obliged to purchase husbands at a -great price. And It is often as true today as when the Latin poet sang. When marriage ceremonies first did arise V was by degrees and in many ways, fend customs such as capture when superseded became by symbolism a part of the succeeding legal form or contract. To eat maize pudding from the same plate or to eat in any way together is a widely distributed marriage ceremony. In Brazil a couple may be married by drinking brandy together; in Japan by so many cups of wine; in Russia and Scandinavia it used to be one cup for both. The joining of hands among Romans and Hindus is common in many parts of the world. In Scotland it is called "hand fasting,” and couples live together after. To sit on one seat while receiving friends or to have the hands of each tied together with grass, or to smear with each other’s blood, or for the woman to tie a cord- of her own twisting around the naked waist of the man constitutes marriage In one place or another. In Australia a woman carries fire to her lover's hut and makes a fire for him. A Loango negress cooks two dishes for him in his own hut. In Croatia the bridegroom boxes the bride’s ears, and tn Russia the father formerly struck his daughter gently with a new whip—for the last time—and then gave the weapon to her husband.

A very dignified matron, the wife of one of the city’s clergymen, went Into a downtown store the other day to take advantage of a sale. She bought the books for which she had come and started out of the store. But a counter piled high with men’s hose attracted her to a crowd of more fastidious shoppers, most of whom were examining the varicolored silk stockings on the racks above the counter. The modest parsonage woman almost blushed over their open interest. Finally the socks were bought, several other counters visited, and then the minister’s wife started to leave. At the door she met one of the parishioners. They exchanged greetings and then, with a “Please allow me," the parishioner reached U P to the hat of the minister’s wife and lifted from its wide brim a pair of gaudy rose silk stockings. The racks above the bargain counter were, of course, the cause. “But no one knew it,” moaned the parson's wife. “Just think how many people saw me wearing those decorations, and actually I was embarrassed oyer the other women just looking at them. And I —well, I was wearing them very prominently.”—lndianapolis News.

One day I was watching a new company drill. The officer gave the command, “Cover off in the rear rank," meaning that every man in the rear rank had to stand directly back of the man In front of him. Instead the whole rear rank took off their bats. —Exchange.

First Surgeon—Here’s a chap just brought in for an operation on his head. Second Ditto—Anything serious? First Surgeon—Serious? Should say npt; he’s one of these newspaper nut column artists.

DIRE DISTRESS.

It is Near at Hand to Hundreds of Rensselaer Readers. Don’t neglect an aching hack. Backache is often the kidneys’ cry for help. Neglect hurrying to the kidneys’ aid, means that urinary troubles may follow. ■ Or danger of worse kidney trouble. Here’s Rensselaer testimony. Mrs. J. J. Norgor, Mathewson Ave., says: “We have used Doan’s Kidney Pills in the family for a long time and they have kept ps in good health. J used to suffer 'from frequent attacks of kidney disorder. My back got etiff and lame and ached so steadily it tired me out. When I tried to wash, the leaning over caused almost unbearable sharp twinges in my back. Doan’s Kidney Pills have driven away those symptoms of kidney trouble and have made me well and strong/’ Price 60c, all dealers. Don’t simply ask for* a kidney remedy—get Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that Mrs. Norgor had. Foster-Milburn Co., Mfgrs., Buffalo, N. Y.
