, .ARABIAN WOMEN AND MARRIAGE. '
l‘helr Life is Full of Sentiment and Quaint
Customs.
Arabians have peculiar ideas on the
marriage question. An Arab will in-
variably olfer marriage to his brother’s
widow. It is considered a sign of re-
spect to the dead brother and the liv-
ing woman by so doing, as the Semitic
tradition in the Hebrew and Christian
Scriptures tells us. In an Arab town
a statement made before the cadi con-
stitutes all the essential marriage cere-
mony. In the desert the only neces-
sary function is the slaughtering of a
sheep within or before the tent of the
bride’s father. Arabs not infrequently
change and exchange wives, to the
high satisfaction of all concerned. If
a man is dissatisfied with his Wife he
may return her to her father, but he
must also return her marriage portion
in full, and if she be of the Bedouin
blood a ::l;e camel must be added to
the original dower. Arab wives as a
rule are treated with consideration
and with no small share of tenderness.
In Arabia woman’s position is one of
dignity, her attitude one of self-re-
sspect.- Arab men'are as full of senti-
ment as of prowess, and no more
ashamed of the one than the other.
In Some Arab tribes a man and maid-
en breaking together before three wit-
nesses a flat, thin cake of almond paste
are formally affianced. An Arab has
an absolute right to the hand of his
girl cousin. He must formally re-
nounce that right before she can
marry any one else. When a girl has
more than one male cousin, the prior
claim is the oldest cousin’s, or, in
some tribes, that of the oldest unmar-
ried cousin. The man must provide all
necessaries for his wife and if she has
money or earns any she spends it in
dress. If she makes him a skull cap
or a handkerchief he must pay for her
work. '
In the land of Ishmael no honey-
moons are ever taken by the bridal
couple after the ceremony has been
performed. However, it frequently
falls to the lot of the bride-elect to
previous to the marriage. If the
very trying journey just
is to be married to a man in a neigh-
boring town she goes to hime-not he
to her, for she is leaving her home
and he is not—what more natural than
that she should be put to the incon-
venience? Besides, it is considered
luck for the bride to cover the dis-
tance, if there is any, between herself
and her future husband. And what a
picture she makes as she comes rid-.
ing proudly her nuptial camel! She
rides in alitter, canopled by embroid-
* ered, tasseled and tinseled silk or fine
-cloth.
0n the canopy is an appropri-
ate text from the Koran, embroidered
in gold. The camel wears a proud
plume of ostrich feathers. ,His long
neck is dyed deep with brilliant han-
nah. His face and head and hung
with wee mirrors, which flash in the
sunlight. His grotesque bulk and his
go unt legs are swathed and hung with
phulkm-is—strange eastern cld’ths be-
dight with squares and ovals of look-
ing glass and long, thick stitches of
rich silk. Some girl or woman friend
rides with the bride, and attendants
and protectors precede and follow her.

The Lotig Journey.
In a certain township not many miles
from Cleveland the good man of a
local household was laid away in the
little churchyard on the hill. ~After
the funeral the relatives, both near and
distant, returned to the family'home
and the officiating pastor came with
them. There they enjoyed a good din-
ner and afterward gathered in the best
room for social converse.
Naturally their talk turned upon the
serious event of the day, and presently
the good pastor, drawing a deep sigh,
solemnly remarked:
“Well, our departed brother has gone
a long journey.”
There was a brief silence, and then
a cousin of the deceased, a. fussy little
woman with an intense desire to bear a
share in the conversation, suddenly re-
marked in a. tone of profound wis-
dom:
“Well, you know, brother, thet they
all say, that travel is such an eddica-
tor! ”—Cleveland Plain Dealer.
\ley the Burglar Cried.
Not long since three young fellows
who had been making a night of it
rolled into the house and found a. ne-
gro busily engaged in gathering up all
the silverware and depositing it in a
big sack in the middle of the
dining—room floor, preparatory to
carrying it away. The thief was
greatly frightened. The three young
men -were‘ also much alarmed.
One of them 'had a pistol. He had very
little faith in the firearm, but he called
the colored porter and, handing him
the weapon, told him to hold it on the
burglar until the three young men
went out for a policeman. When the
officer finally arrived the porter
drapped his arm with the pistol. The
cylinder dropped out. Not a. single
load was in the pistol.
When the burglar was searched. two
seven-shooting revolvers, loaded and
self-acting, were found on his pérsOn.
The burglar was so disgusted with.
himself that he cried—Louisville Cou-
