In Naples girls 14 and over assemble once every year in one of the churches of that city, and the unmarried men who so desire go there and choose wives. The prop. wed society will carry out a similar arrangement here, except that the girls who desire to assemble in a church to lie thus chosen will have to register with the society three months ahead of the date, that the society may satisfy itself that they are girls of good moral character. The meu who are to apply at the church on these occasions to select brides will lie required to register three months prior to the date of chxsing, that the society may investigate their charac tors for the purpose of ascertaining if they are industrious and temperate. Only men who have these qualities willl allowed to choose wives. Those who register will be informed IS dy in advance of their standing. Men will lie reouired to nay a registration fee of fl, but girls will allowed to register free. The intended brides will probably ta reuuirtd to wear white, iustead cf black, as in Naples The principal object of tho society is to afford irirls who desire to marry an opHrtunity to secure temperate and in dustrious husbands Insane From Loneiomeneei.

He was driven crazy by tho appalinj Ionesomeness of his existence, ami is the second solitary rancher commitUsl to the asylum under such circumstances within a month. Such eases arc not uncommon in prairio states like the Dakota and Nebr.t-Ua, but it is more often the wife of a farmer or r-mcher living many miles from the nearest Height mr, and who rare ly sees her husband except i t a lew hours he is home to sleep, who goes crazy from Ionesomeness. Tno dreary mon otony of the prairie, with oftentimes not f.-en a tree to break tho level sky line, is a great factor in bretsling the melau c'noly that has not infrequently driven a w oman raving mad.
