V
A Tartan courtship.
Among the Tchulian Tartars a curl-
ous mode of “popping the question’ is
reported: The Tchulian Coelebs in
search of a wife, having filled a brand
new pipe, with fragrant tobacco,
stealthily enters the dwelling of the
fair one upon whom he has bestowed
his affections, deposits the pipe upon a
conspicuous article of furniture, and
retires on tip-toe to some convenient
hiding place in the neighborhood, local
etiquette requiring that he should exe-
cute this strateg1c movement apparent-
ly undetected by the damsel of his
choice or any member of her family.
Presently he returns without further
affectation of secrecy, and looks into
the apartment in a casual sort of way.
A single glance at the pipe he left be-
hind him enables him to learn the fate,
of his proposal. If it has been smoked,
he goes forth an accepted and 'exultant
bridegroom; if not, the offer of his
hand and heart has been irrevocably
rejected, as not even worth a pipe of
;cbacco. By this ingenious expedient
-he pain and humiliation of— verbal re—
fusal and fruitless pleadings are spared
LO luckless woers, and Tartar maidens
ire saved from importunities justly re-
garded as peculiarly trying to female
sensibility.
Severe Rules in the Russian, Army.
When an officer in the Russian army
is insulted, a military court of honor '
sits to decide upon the action to be
taken, and he has to abide by the de-
sision of the court. Not long ago, two
yo;ng officers of the Russian army
;uarrelled while drinking together,
and one slapped the other across the
:heek with his open hand. They were.
.ntimate friends, and when in his sober
1enses the aggressor humbly apo1o.
gized for the affront to his brother of-
1icer, who cordially accepted it. A regi.
mental court of honor had to be held,
however, and it was decreed that the
)fiicers should fight, though both were
much averse to doing so. A duel was
:herefore arranged at twenty paces,
.he affront, and forgiven his friend,
was hit in the hip and crippled for life.
The Eskimo “Illll Punch hull Judy.
Some time ago a skipper who visited

how to work the figures.‘ The Es-

it the business, and, in a hut nightly
.hroughout the long winter, makes the .
familiar marionettes dance about, to
:he intense delight. of his fur-encased
friends. The show- “a known among

ABDUCTED BY AN ORANG-OUTANG
A Young Man Prisoner was fry-outed with
Great Courtesy by His Captor. _
Numerous stories have been told of
persons being abducted by Ourang-ou-
fangs, carried to their retreats and
treated with the utmost politeness,
‘In 1864
a young Bornean was missing, and his
,friends concluded to ferret the mys-
tery. Well armed, they started to
search through the jungles, and‘on ’the
fifth day discovered on the bank of
the Sakarang River the clothes and
strd of their friend. Suddenly they
heard a voice, and following up the
sound, discovered the A'missing fellow
high up in a tree with an ourang-ou-
tang by his side. A rifie shot brought
the huge animal to the ground, when
the happy man descended and told of
his strange adventure
He had been out hunting, and had-
gone to the river to bathe. Upon re-
turning he was seized by the arms by
the animal, and Was compelled to fol-
low it. They arrived at the foot of a
certain tree, where the youth made a
hasty but involuntary ascent to the
top, where he found himself a prisoner
in a comfortable lodging. Five days
he remained, his weird hostess gra—
ciously supplying him every day wit
fruits and vegetables, and bringing
water in a cocoanut shell. ’
Investigation has proved that such
facts are indisputable. The conviction
is also shared by St. John,.thel.author
of a book on Bornean travels.
\Veather Signals on Street Cars.
The t'rolley car has been utilized for
all sorts of local announcements, with
excellent results, especially in small
communities, doing in its way much
of the work that the old bell crier was
supposed to exist for. On rainy days
a village car will often save the school
children a useless tramp by carrying
a placard with the inscription, “No
school to-day,” and in some places the
local weather bureau now notifies the
road of prospective meteorological
changes, and the cars, 'as they go out
of the car barn, mount the appropr -
ate signal in the shape of a flag, flying
between the trolley pole and the car.
People can thus tell at a glance by the
passing car whether to carry an um-
brella or not, and what Sort of an
overcoat to wear. —St.- Louis Globe-

Washington, D. 0., July 19.--The Uni-
ted States will take immediate steps
to collect the customs revenues at San-
tiago as a war contribution, and it is

which have been in force under Span-
ish rule, and it is expected that a. tele-
gram embodying the principal features
Of the new schedules will be sent to
General Shaffer. The new rates will
follow more or less closely those hith—
erto in feice in Cuba, and will make
no discriminations in favor of or
against citizens of any foreign poWer,
including the United States Any in-
consistencies and excessive levies, how-
ever, will be corrected as soon as pos-
sible.
Within a day or two a. customs ex-
pert will be designated to take charge
of the details of the work under the
general direct-ion of the military gov-
ernor of the surrendered territory, as
has been done in the Philippines, and
as rapidly as possible printed forms
schedules and record books will be sent
forward.

fully closed, there-is a. lull in the ac—
tivity of the war and navy depart-
ments and the official express the be-
lief that the stirring developments of

ers to Spain, coping with the yellow
