The woman raises the fmnily. Hbe transmits the name. She sends to iho youth she chooses a basket of tiieal or peaches, and if he is inclined toward her ho forthwith makes a present of " primary consiilera- tion," consisting of a whole deerskin, beautifully dressed and snow white. That signifies that she is provuled with shoes for life. The skin is placed over the foot and then rolled around iho leg and strapped down with delicate thongs. Yon can always tell a newly-mnrriLd Zuni woman by the large roll of deerskin und by the small silver buttons that adorn the leggings. Whenever the foot piece wears out it is cut off and the roll Ih replaced. When the woman boconies old tho roll is small. The only sanctilication of the marriage ia the formal ailoption of tho vcning man after the accoptanee ot the bundle. Uo is then the step- son of thu girl's fath-r. Indepeudeliee for Our iitrU.

It is absolutely certain that happy marriages will bo promoted by this very independence among women.

A rather pretty ni :• is the wearing of real flowers in "triiil;^ ' of bou(iuela on para- sols at garden parties. U dates from the flower festa. There were a few at Lady Lytton's garden party • iiily in the month, and very many at lime Carnot's last, which wound up tho season. The I'resi- delilees was still dressi'd in black and white, in which colors she appeared at the dinner at the Russian Kmbnasy, iho dinner at tho British Kmbaasy and the garden party there. It is a pity for young bntterllies that garden parties cannot become fashion- able, there being now ao few gardens (save in tho Faubourg St. (lerniainl in I'aris largo enough tor festal purjxjaes. The Lockroys have a fairly largo one, which I expect next year aille. Jeanne Hugo will make, in her natural character of Uose Queen, a centre of festivity.

The crude sunlight of tho garden party pitilessly sho.vs what faces »re made up. I suppose that this ia why the broad-leafed hat is ao much worn, and why psnsol* are made so impervious to the lan'i nys by means of lining, lace covering, and natur»l ilowers.â€" Puris L.uer to London Tnah. I'olysamy in Ctah. " The pret'iest bather in the lake," said a returned Utah tourist to a Denver Tri- bune reporter, " was a sweet blonde, daughter of historic Hiram Clawson, who came to Utah with Brigham Young and built the first house in Salt Lal«j and Utah Territory. Mr. Clawson married two of Brigham Young's daughters, and has BU living children." " la polygamy dying out in Utah?" asked the reporter. "Very fast. The rich and intelligent young Mormon girls won't go into it. I saw at the theatre Miss Clawson. ac- companied by a handsome young Mormon beau, to whom she ia engaged. When I asked her if she allowed her bean to have another sweetheart she looked solemnly down at her aolitaire ring and said, half bitterly ; • No, unless he ia smooth enough to fool me.'

What a clever man wants is a clear- headed, sensible wife, who will forget his vagaries in remembering his brilliancy, and remain a constant shield between his sensitiveness and disagreeable things ; somethine, in fact, like one of those cushions that sailors put down the side of the vessel to keep :c from jarring too roughly against the dock. Look at me, for instance. 1 never wrote a word for publication, painted a picture, composed music, or di 1 anything clever in all my life.

A Wife Lust and Fouad. A Chicago correspondent of the New York Il'orW writes as follows ; When Frederick Wilks, a tall, good-looking young man went home last night he found a note from his pretty little wife, Annie, that told him she had run away. The young man spent last night and to. day looking for Annie, with the aid of the police force, bat she has probably gone far enough to be able to elude him. They had only been married a few months. They are from Nottingham England, where .\unie was the prettiest slip ot a girl in town. Frederick fell in love with her when she was 17 and he I'.i years old. He got a day set for their marriage, but just before it came Annie ran away to America. Her lover followed her, found her in New York city, and a marriage ceremony was again arranged for, when the girl disappeared again. This time she slipped back to England. He followed her and, after tramping up and down the country several weeks, found she bad gone to the Continent. To tho Continent went the constant lover, and for mouths she led hlin a will-o'-the-wisp chase from city to city. Finally she got back to Nottingham, and he caught her, and, before she conld get away again, they were married. She made it conditional that they should go at once to America. They sailed for New Y'ork, and thence drifted to Chictj;o, where Frederick has been employed as book- keeper. He says he has tramped lU.OOO miles for his wife and ia ready to tramp 10,000 more, if necessary. Nuptial Arralie<*inentMâ€" A New Fashlttii. It is fashionable now for husbands and wives to keep separate bedrooms. Kings and (juens have set the example, and the newly coupled folks in our fashionable world are following it. No secret is made of the custom. The nicest of our output of June brides will calmly show you her own daily boudoir, and then exhibit the bedroom of her husband. And the Duke of Marlborough and his bride, the beautiful Widow Hamersley, sailed away on their honeymoon voyages in two staterooms. More than that, I have it from a postively trustworthy source that on tho evening of the wedding, after the Clews dinner at Delmonico's which was concluded at 10 l.'i p. m., the chaperon, Mre. Cruger, and the Duchess were driven in a carriage unat- tended to tho llamerelty mansion on Fifth avenue, and tho Duke, after passing some time with his friends in ordinary post- prandial entertainment, sought his quar- ters at the Albemarle Hotel. This was construed as ducal politeness. The idea ia that tho bride must not bo intruded upon, and that she must be left to invite her husband to call sooner or later, aa the fancy suits her. In one instance tho wedded couple went right away on diverse tours, to meet at tho end of a week in some distant place, the locality being kept a secret from their ac- quaintances. â€" C'im'iHHiifi i'.n<inirer.

A PredictioQ that Paris will be Subiiiereed In Ten Centuries. Just lately, says a writer in the London Globf, on the coast of Brittany, one of those geolocial discoveries has been made which suggest to the mind periods of time making the longest human life appear but a span, and exhibiting processes quite dwarfing the most ambitious human achievements. This is the disclosure, by the displacement of a mass of sand during the last high tides, of a forest that must have been buried for some twenty centuries at least. The situation is just opposite Saint Malo, at the foot ot the cliffs of Saint Enogat and Saint Lunaire. The forest is supposed to have once extended from Saint Malo to beyond Mount Saint Michel. This discovery ia considered of great acientitic interest, as it affords a remarkable illustra- tion of the gradual sinking ot the French shore. The progress oi this sinking during the last '2,000 years isclearlyshown man old map found at the abbey of the Mount Saint Michel. Within no more than seven cen- turies back as many as seven parishes are said to have disappeared by the subsi- dences of this region. And in the bay of Donarnenzes there is known to have existed in the hflh century quite a flourishing town called la, the scene ot the famous tragical legend. Even now, at low water, may be seen the old walls ot la, which are called by the inhabitanta Mogber Greghi (wall of the Greekl. The people ot the country pretend that they can sometimes bear the old church bells ot the sabmerged city rint;ing with the motion of tho cur- rent. French geologists estimate that the gradual sinking of the soil ot Britanny. Normandy, Artaia, Belgium and Holland is not less than seven feet a century. At this rate it is calculated that in about ten centuries all the channel porta will be destroyed, and I'aris itrnlf will become a maritiRie city. In another ten centuries it is predicted that the French capital Itself will have become entirely submerged, excepting, perhaps, that t^o tops of the I'autheon, of the .Vrc do Triomphe and some other monuments may be discernible at low water by the people who will then be living. ^ Wliy tho UoniaUA Went to Bed Early. History tells us that ancient Home, even in times of festival, was alwaya as <)niet aa tho grave after the closing in of the night â€" a fact which Do Quincy thus accounta for : " They went to bed early in thoae ageaaini- ply becauae their mother earth could not afford thorn candles. She, good old lady, or young lady (for geologists know not whether she ia in that state of her progress which corresponds to gray hairs, or to in- fancy, or to ' a certain age') she. good lady, would have shuddered to hear any ot her nations inquiring for candles. ' Candles, indeed '.' she would say, who ever heard i f such a thing ? and with so much excellent laylight running to waste aa I have pro- vided gratia '.' What will the wretches want next '.'' The Komans, tlierefore, who saw no joke in sitting around a table in tho dark, went off to bed as the darkness be- gan. Everybody did bo. Old Numa I'ompilious himself was obliged to trundle off into the dark. Tari]uiniu8 mav have been a very superb fellow, but I doubt whether he ever saw a farthing rushlight. And though it may be thought that plots and conapiraciea would tlourish in such a city ot darkness, it ia to bo considered that the conspirators themselves had no more candles than honest men. both parties were in the dark." FOOD IN THE ROCK'd H£AKT. A 8tee<l an<l Bia Kider, TTho Had Been Hidden There for Years. Henry Martin, who resides up in the direction ot Antelope Basin, Wyoming Ter- ritory, re'-ently came acroES a ghastly rehc ot early days which might well form the foundation for a tale ot frontier life. He was out prospecting ia a wild and broken part of the conntry, where in the midst of an elevated plateau it ia not un- common to suddenly tind oneself on the brink uf a crevasse or cleft in the rock, a plunge into which would inevitably prove fatal, aaya iheLaratnie Bovmcranu. It was in examining one cf these strange openings formed during soma tremendous convulsion of the earth ages ago that Mr. Martin aaw pinned between the adamantine walla far below him the whitened bones of a man and horse. He made a circuitous journey around the hill which brought him to where it waa poasible to enter the narrow gorge, and by ciflicult climbing over jagged bonldere to reach th« skele- tons. He cautiously picked his way through for a distance of several hundred feet, and at length reached the object which had excited his cariosity. There waa no doubt, from the poaition of the animal and his rider, that they had plunged headlong to their death either while being pursued or i;i some mad ride which did not leave time to check themselves on the brink of the yawning ouasm. Tbem.in must have been fully ai.x feet in height, and between 50 and 00 years of age, the latter supposition being established by the fact that he had dnri::g life lost some of his teeth and the bone had grown over the cavities afterwards. The sknll showed a rather intelligent forehead, the cheek-bones were prominent and the general shape of the head indicated that the bones were those of a Mexican. This theory was con- firmed by the discovery of a rich Meiii;an sombrero, with heavy gold trimmings, all in a good state of preservation. The skele- ton was found in a perpendicular position, the head dowuwarda and tightly pinned between the two walls of rock. "The rider had fallen from his stead and the bones of the latter were similarly suspended, but twenty fe-et further up. in a little basin at the foot of the gorge was discovered a cop- per plate about six inches stiuare, and strangest of all, a plug of tobacco f ap- parently ancient manufacture, but seem- ingly as perfect aa when the dead man had put it in his pocket to solace him in hia lonely ride across the hills. Did Not Like the New HouKe. The Boston Adv,rlisir says ; .V well- known Boston gentleman keeps pigeons at hia country place near Milton. The birds liveil iu the barn until recently, when he built a new hen-houae, with a dove-cote in ita second story. The barn waa then boarded up, and the pigeons invited to enter their new home. They unitedly re- fused, and slept in the trees for a week. Then a consultation w-aa held, and all but one adopted the new abode. The one stal wart stayed in the treea a few days longer, and then was seen to Uy a great height in tho air and disappear. Some days later he turned up in Waltham, where he waa re- cognized by a man who had reareil him, and who had marked his wi:ig. The bird bail been near Milton for nearly two years, and had originally been brought therefrom Waltham iu a closed basket. Iu Oesperate Coiidltiou.

Mental EOecta uC Hot Weather. Une ot the moat interesting studies bear ing upon this subject (ot the relation of mind to matter) is found in observing the effects ot a hfgh temperature upon different organizations. The nervons, sensitive, egotistic man, when the thermometer ranges among the nineties, ia chiefly intent upon publishing hia personal discomfort. Instead of sitting still and cooling his mind through work or genial divereioa. be moves busily about telling everybody how hot he is, with gestures and ejaculations to mat':h. He ia a mental radiator, bent upon transmitting his own conditions to other minds, and without intending it is generating his own discomfort within others. Un the other band, the man of even temperament, of cool niind, avoids all mention of physical and thermal con- ditions on a hot day. He purposes to get hia mind as far away from them as possi- ble. He hears his nervous friend ihog down his pe:; or spade and declare that it is too hot for work. To him congenial w-ork is the very best means ot keeping bis attention away from phyaical discomfort. One feels comparatively cool in this man's presenee. He is a partial refrigerator and transmits his own conditions. The mere physical teniiwrature of a man on a hot day is not the mesaure of discomfort. Inthiabusy season hun- dreds ot Canadian farmera toil iu open tields in the hot sun in such excessive perspiration that hardly a dry thread is found on them tlirough the day. Bat if one ia accosted from the roadside and remindsd that it is a terribly hot day ho will generally reply with drollery that it is splendid weather for c orn. The farmer's mind is on the hay and corn crops instead of on the heat. His mind is kept cool by congenial labor and the promise ot good crops. What is true of man is true of beaata. One of the most painful sights to a person of kind heart ia to see the distress of the horses that pull the street cars on a scorching day. These animals receive the best of care and treatment by the companies, and their muscular strength is not over- taxed so far as mere work is concerned. A horsp doing th-j same work on a country road would not perspire much. It is the tremendous atrain upon their nerves caused by constant fear ot losing their feet on the smooth paving when starting tho car that chii'liy induces both their sweat and senu torture. F'ven with a horse it is the eonditirn of mind that largely decides its power to endure heat and work. Killed by Cherry Mones. 'I'he practice ot swallowing cherry stones caused the death of 17 year-old Tauline Wnrster at her home. No. lit* Dauphin street, on Monday, after an illnesa of a week.

The J tyui Wiu>li Theiiii>«I'\ ea There, aiul Play with the Keflected Image. Uo you know that the little canaries you keep in cages are fond of mirrors, asks a correspondent of Youth's Lutrudor. We have bttu iiltla girU, and older ones, too, who were fonil of mirrors, but who ever heard of birds that uatd them '! I will tell yoa about a little canary that lives at the house where I board. Some time ago our landlady got a canary and put it in a cage alone. The little bird was taken from a large cage holding a dozen birds. He waa very homesick and lonesome, just as you would be if yon were taken away off among strangers, away from mamma, papa, listers, brothers and everybody yon ever knew. Ju=c so our little birdie cried and moaned, and would not eat nor sing. It wanted to go home and see its mamma. The lady did all she could to comfort and make it feel at home. She talked to it and petted u, giving it clean water, good seed, apples and everything she thought it would like, but it was of no use. birdie kept crying and wouidn't make friends, but wanted to go home. One day his mistress brought him a largo piece ot broken mirror, aa big as my two hands, and placed it iu:>ide hia cage where he could sea it readily. Do youanp- pose he cared, for that? Indeed he did. He hopped down and, going up close, looked in. seeming to be perfectly delighted. Ha chirped and hopped about, singing and pat- ting on all the airs he waa master oi. He was ?:ot homesick at all after that. He spends much cf his time before the glass, and when he goes to sleep at night he will coddle down just as close to the iflass as he can get. You see, he thinks be is sleeping beaide that other little bird. Hia mistreea often lets him cot into the room, where he can have more liberty. She may put that glass anywhere in the room, and he will tind it ind spend most ot his time before it. One day tho little fellow acted very naught- ily. He got angry and tried to get into a tight. It all happened becauae he wanted his own way and could not get it. He went up to the glass ao lovingly and tried to coax the other bird to come and play with him somewhere else. The looking-glass bird would not follow him, but went the other way every time. Then the canary got pro- voked, and living at the bird in the glass tried to have a real light with him. He tr>ed It only once, and then he Icoked ashamed of it. The blame\ you see. waa all on one side. That shows how foolish it IS to get angry and pick a quarrel. He washes himself before the large mirror in the room, pluming his feathers and making his toilet with much satisfaction , and, like all folks that spend much time oefcre the glass, he is getting very vain. m Bringing Deliton tu Terms. A Taris tradesman has invented a new device for dealing with a recalcitrant debtor which may become common. A gentleman who. to use a rather hackneyed phrase, is well known on the turf, had the misfortune to lose a large sum of money at the races, and mmors as to hia solvency were soon spread about the city. AppUca- tions were at once made to him by hia numerous creditors, and he succeeded in coming to satisfactory arrangements with all ot them except one on w hose books he was down for a mere triffe of i:l,20('. The creditor refused to compound, and wanted the money at once. As bis debtor was ui'.able to 'come up to the -orat h" the tradesman threatened to -•, out adver- tisemeut vans and "sandwicu men over the city to embla.'.on the insolven y of the gentleman well known on the turf, who was also a Knight ot the Legion cf Uon.ir. before the eyea of all men. women an-i children. This did not in the least alarm the debtor, who evidently regarded the threat as a gigantic joke. Xo his surpriao and vexation, however, the "sandwich men ' are let loose on the me- tropolis. They carried boards and banners with inscriptions thereon setting forth the name, titles, qualities and ILibilitiee cf the debtor With these they marched one lino day along the Boulevard des Italie a. and, diving down the Kiie de Kicheliei., they made tor the Stock K.xcbangc, round which they walked silently and solemnly three times, .\fter that they returned to the Boulevards, passed tho Madeleine, traversed the riace de la Concorde and proceeded slowly and steadily up the crowded V.enues dea Champs Elysees, where their terrible inscriptions were paraded before the ga<ie of nymphs anil ikiiv ur< who were >;oing out to the Ijois, of quiet political or professional people who were taking their daily drives in the same direction, and ot the hordes ot mothers, nurses and children who usually congregate on tine afternoons in the samo pleasant part ot Faris, This wasico much for the debtor, who summoned his tormen- tor before tho Parinrt on the ground ot bia trying to obtain money under false pre- tences. This dispute was too peculiar and unprecedented for the M agist rnUf. who postpeiied their verdict. 31an4-haufleii Outdone.
