. vm. ., WW 4 I How the Slow! Brave Wins a Wife. There are two characteristic methods of Sioux courtship commonly practiced, though it must be admitted that with the gradual education of the young men and women in the schools, there is an apparent tendency to ape the ways of their white brothers and sistea, and to consume the fuel of their parents in the pursuance of their lovevmak- mg ; but with those from whose natures it seems impossible to eradicate the traits of their forefathers, the customs followed by \heir ancestors are still comme il fast, and to these they stubbornly adhere. Ration day is seized upon by these “ true Indians " for love-making, and the sport of it is as heartily enjoyed by the old as by the young. When a brave finds upon the agency rounds the maiden of his choice, he mani ests his preference for her by tak- lng the blanket from his shoulders and stretching it out before him, rushing at her with the intention of throwing it over her head and shoulders. If the brave doesn’t succeed in capturing the girl at the first at. tempt he tries again, and persists in his efforts until he issatisfied by her actions that his suit is not approved. If his ad. vances are favored the maiden, after a brief period of coquetry, allows the blanket to settle over her head, and thus enveloped she listens as well as she can to a verbal accounting of his deeds of prowess as a. hunter, of his possessions in ponies and skins, and to the low chanting of a. song in which he pledges his love eternally. Tilli SIGN OF FAVOR. If, after listening to this, the maiden is still willing to become his squaw, she tells him so. The blanket is removed from her shoulders, and together they go to the maid- en’s parents, or, if they are dead, to her ncarcst relative, to whom they declare their desire. The match is speedily sanctioned, and when they leave the agency the bride carries on her shoulders a portion of her husband’s rations. ‘ There is less romance in this method of winnin_ a wife than in the custom of woo- ing wit the aid of a flute. Such a court- ship as this must be carried on in the spring when the sap is running in the trees, for only at that time can the wocer make his tune- ful instrument. “'0 eat the wrong things and at the wrong times. We smoke to excess, we drink to excess. We spend toomuch has in bad air. We don't do quartet enough exercise tokeep the muscles in good order. the limbs strong, the nerves well toned. In short we are doing everything we should not do, and very little that we should. Yet the good natured doctor says we need not despair if we will let drugs alone and learn to behave ourselves. The things to do are simple enough ; take reg- ular and sufficient sleep; eat simple and nutritive food ; breathe in plenty of fresh, pure air; do lots of outdoor exercise, hoe in the garden if you have one, or use a gymnasim, home made or public; do not be indiscrcet in the use of cold water ; some people suffer more harm than others derive benefit from cold water baths ; be patient, even if it takes all your time to cultivate patience; let your mind he engaged with wholesome thoughts, and keep it from fret- ting; and, again, beware of drugs. And then this good doctor says : “ The cure of even serious cases may be hoped for by fol. lowing the hints we have given above; a corresponding right a plicatihn of nature’s healing factors-may ring about speedy cures, even in apparently hopeless cases." This advice to healthy living is excellent, we doubt not, and Worthy to be observed; at the same time our German savant is in- clined a little to exaggerate the conditions. Is it not a comparat ively small part of the general population that is riding pneumatic tires to destruction '3 Men and Women who are worth much in the world are not going insane very fast nor are they so nervous that they seem smitten of a. palsy. _â€"_____<p ‘ Our Future neat Supply. When our coal docs finally give out, it is not in mere substitutes of this kind that we must hope to find domestic safety. There is no fear of the human race perishing of cold yet awhile, so long as the tides rise and fall and water continues to run down hill. The great modern discovery of the conservation of energy tells us that the natural tendency of all forms of energy is to become that particular kind of energy which we know as heat ; and it is upon this lfact that our future heating systems must be based. It is no exaggeration to say that The_manufacbure of a flute is n05 .6 diffi' almost all the work of any kind wh'ch is :ult piece of work.

This water comes on his bark flute a weird chant, probably down as rain and forms our rivers ; and in an impromptu composition. Of course the sound of the flute attracts returning to the level from which it started it can do as much work as the sun did in the attention of the people in the village, drawing it'up to the clouds, From time who gather around the ardent swaiu and indulge in good natured badinuge at his expense.

The test sometimes lasts th hours before the father of the maiden who is thus being wooed issues from the tcpee and ascertains who the serenader is. He reports to his laughter, and, if she approves the suitor, she goes forth to meet him and leads him to her tepee for the sanction of her parents. If she doesn’t approve the man she tells her father to dismiss him, which he does, and the unsuccessful lover discousolately pock- ets his flute and. leaves, followed by the jeers of the crowd. . ~ It not infrequently occurs that the love- maker is unable to keep his temper while the crowd is rallying him. even throws down his flute and attacks his persecutors. Such a manifestation is con- sidered an evidence of bad taste and indicat. ing a defect in the woocr’s character. t is useless for the unfortunate follow to his suit further after such a breach of etiquette. Sioux parents of a marriagcable daughter use a good deal of diplomacy in disposing of her hand in marriage. They are always ambitions to find a husband who has con- siderablo wealth, for according to tribal law, they are entitled to a certain portion of the possessions of the son iii-law. It sometimes happens that the hand of the same maiden is sought by several braves. When this is the case, the will of the father rises superior to that of the daughter, ud she is compelled to consider his choice, which he does not make until he has excited a lively among them for his daughter's favors.

It is dreamy, weird, fantastic, and the doctor even thought he smelled brim- stone and suggested that " his majesty” had been shifting the scenes. Often have we been requested upon the programme to fancy a lapse of five years between the acts, and we have accomplished it, but never have we experienced the sensation of so suddenly parting with five centuries. There is much, of course, to remind us of our epochâ€"the villas, the flags, the steamer, ourselvesâ€"but it is far too littleto disturb the illusionâ€" we and the rest are merely anachronisms, incongruous and. out of place.

Chance- for Inventors- The government of India is offering a number of prizes for the best designs or models of a cart suitable for military .re- quiremeuts, to wit,a. mule cart for the trans- ort use of the British army in India. The prizes offered are five in number, and are re- spectively$3,750, $2,500, $1,875, $1,250, $625,0r $10,000 in all. Industries says: The award will be int-rusted to a jury consisting of three military and three technical ex- perts. The question of cost being of the highest importance, the designs should give the estimated price in pounds sterling or rupees of a single cart delivered free on board in London or at Bombay, Colcutta,or Allahabad. As a guarantee of good faith on the part of the competitor as re ards es- timated cost, he will, if recommen ed for a premium, receive, in the first instancc,only one-half of such premium immediately on its award. He will, he wcver, only receive the same proportion of the other half as represents the proportion by which he may have under-estimated the actual cost of It is left to the jury to ascertain by tender in the open market, or by such other means as it considers suitable, the cost of the cart to the government, and to make its award accordingly. The object ' desired to be attained by this competition is the production of a design, accompanied in all cases by a working model, for a mili- tary transport cart adapted to conditions which make the use of interchangeable metal parts for all important portions of the cart absolutely indispensable. The designs and models should reach the secretary to the government of India, Military Depart- ment, Calcutta, not later than J une 30, 1893.
