—Fat Girls in Demand.
Every New British community is
sharply divided into two clans, known
respectively as the Maramara and the
Pikalaba. They arc most intimately
associated in all the business and
pleasure of life, they live in the same
houses, in fact, no household can exist
without having representatives of each
clan. That there may never be any
doubt of the clan to which any par
ticular individual belongs the device of
the clan is prominently displayed iu tat
tooed lines upon his back and breast.
Far from being a division of tho com
munity, these two clans tend toward its
closer union, for no person may marry a
member of his own clan, but must choose
from the other. This plan is still further
complicated by the subdivision of each
clan into four co-ordinate groups which
are named respectfully after some tish,
plant, bird or beast. The natural object
whoso name is borne by each group, be
comes in some sort its totem and in tat
tooing upon the body and in rude carving
upon the doorway is displayed as a de
vice. The group in each clan which bear
a kindred device are looked upon as too
closely related to allow of intermarriage
between members of each although their
clans are indistinct. Likewise the in
dividual must not marry into the group
of either parent or one cognate therewith
in the other clan. This may seem far
from clear— a concrete example will serve
for illustration. Remember that there
can be no doubt about the clan and group
of any individual, for the most cursory
glance at his body will at once show his
position.
Lumie we will take for example, a
young man who has built himself a house,
who owns a wholfc fishing net and has
the equity of a yam plantation or so and
many cocoanuts. His house seems lonely
and he wants a wife. This is how he
goes to work. His own father belonged j
to the Pikalaba clan and the fish group, !
his mother was a Maramara of the plant
group; thus, he, inheriting nothing from !
his father and everything from his
mother, is likewise a Maramara plant.
He is therefore debarred from marriage
with any member of a plant or fish group, !
but must restrict his choice to the Pika
laba birds and beasts, say to one fourth j
of the girl population of his town. This !
is indeed no great hardship to him, for !
he has known from his earliest child
hood that some of the maidens were i
positively prohibited to him, nnd by
the the time his thoughts bend toward
matrimony he must huve become re- j
signed to his fate and is prepared to con
fine his attentions to every fourth girl. A j
young man so prosperous as Lumie seems \
to be could not be expected to mate with
any but the daughter of a family equally !
as wealthy as his own. The poorer girls !
whom he will sec about the town may !
become wives to him, but they must wait;
until he has made selections of his chief j
wife and then they without any cere- >
mony are summoned to take the minor
positions, which are in little different
from slavery. But of the maidens of high 1
degree he has 110 view, for they arc all i
carefully caged at their seminary in the |
bush under the protection of the dread
tabu. Upon a morning early the women !
of the town arc in commotion; the}*have
learned through some mysterious channel
that a girl will on that day be brought
home from her seclusion of from six to
eight years. Who the debutante may be
they do not know, but they gleefully i
spread their news about the towu. All
other plans must yield to the great j
event; the fishers on this day draw no I
nets, the warriors grant one day's respite
to the towns on either hand—all busy :
themselves with guessing who it is whose
education has been completed and in ab-!
surb speculation as to what she will fetch, j
As the sua climbs high and nearer to j
its midday point the villagers flock out I
along the path which leads to the girls' ,
rotreat and crowd about the latticed !
hedge from which dangle the cloth
streamers and fillet or hair which mark
the tabu; well to the front will be found
Lumie and any others who may be ready
for marriage. Upon tho other side of
the slight bulwark people are heard mov
ing about, and at tho moment of high
noon the guardian of the young girls ap- j
pears and leads into view her charge,who j
perhaps would blush if she were not as ,
black as a bag of soot. After one mo-!
incut of interested inspection, a murmur j
of dissatisfaction arises from many of the
young men, who find her to belong to a
clan and group prohibited to them. But j
not from Lumie. He spies upon her!
breast tho Pickalabu mark, and tatooed I
above it the outstretched wings of a |
bird; by this he knows that she is eligi
ble. Led by the chief and by all the
young men who seek to marry her, the
young woman goes down to her old home
in the village, and nods and speaks to
those -whose faces are yet familiar after
her long absence. She sits upon a small
mat before her father's door to receive
her friends, and at her side sits her
guardian, who now and again conde
scends to a gratified sinile when one and
another compliment her upon the fatness
of her charge. Meanwhile a feast is prepar- j
ing in the house behind her, to which all \
tho village is invited. In the high post j
of honor sits the maiden just about to I
make her entry into the world of so
ciety, thus placed on exhibition that her
chance of finding a husband may be
better. The morning nfter the feast she
is put up at auction on the village green.
The bidding begins at two pigs, for that
Is the amount which has been expended
upon her education ; pig by pig it runs
up to seven or eight and then, if Lumie
has any earnest competitor, it may creep
slowly up now by a bid of an additional
cowrie or a palm of shall money until
nine pigs is reached and the girl is
knocked down to tho highest bidder.
That is all the ceremony there is. Lumie
drives his pigs to the house of his father
in-law, leads tho girl to his own house
aad she in his wife. To bring as much
aa nine pigs a girl must be very fat and
be furthermore the daughter of a mmi
wealthy enough to be a chief; seven
pigs is a high figure and few run ovei
six. But if the amount realized by the
auction does not satisfy the father of
the property sold he can show his scorn
of the higher education of women by
quietly throttling the schoolmistress.
These new British marriages are more
matters of bargain and sale, sale, too, by
the public auctioneer. The buyer pays
so many pigs or their equivalent in cow
ries or strings of shell money, he takes
his purchase to his home and looks to
her domestic services to make good the
amount which he has paid. Such a sys
tem affords no room for any of the softer
sentiments, it would seem; no such thing
as love, it would appear, could exist
where marriage is a mere matter of pigs.
Yet husbands and wives in New Britain
display great affection and are as true a3
though their marriage had been sol
emnized with the most elaborate vows.
After marriage tho clan division is
ceremonially perpetuated in the house,
not to the extent of interfering with do
mestic harmony, but upon certain sol.
emn occasions. The doorway is in tin
middle of one of tbc sides, the fire-place
directly opposite on the other. Between
the two a lino is drawn; one side of the
house is the husband's side, the other is
the wife's. Each retains the individual
ownership of their separate property; he
keeps his possessions on his side the line,
she on hers, and nothing is moved from
one sido to the other without an equiva
lent. The children belonging to each
are said to be "in.the door," and it is
only as they grow up or in the event of
the father's death that they definitely
go over to the mother's side.— Ac\o Or

The Original Buffalo Bill.
There is probably no better known
name throughout the entire length and
breadth of this country than that of Buf
falo Bill, and at this time there arc but
few who do not know that William F.
Cody is the bearer of the title. Mr.
Cody,however,is not the original Buffalo
Bill. There is nothing underhand or
illegitimate in his bearing it. He is fully
entitled to it, but for all that, he comes
by it second handed. The original Buf
falo Bill is now living, an aged, wealthy,
prominent and highly respected citizen,
and the President of a savings bank at
Wichita, Kan. Ilis name is William
Matthewson. He is a thorough Demo
crat, and is high up in the Order of Odd
Fellows. Years ago Mr. Matthewson was
a bold frontiersman on the plains, en
gaged in hunting and trapping for a liv
ing. He supplied the forts of Kansas
and Nebraska with buffalo; aud his suc
cess in this work was so great that he
was given the title of Buffalo Bill. Dur
ing this time he engaged a boy to work
for him, and the lad was so diligent and
faithful that he remained in Matthew
son's employ until the latter quit the
business to settle down to a more quiet
life. As a reward the employer turned
over the hunting contracts to the em
ploye, who then followed in his late
master's footsteps. That he was success
ful, that he earned honor, fame and
wealth for himself, cannot be denied
when it is told that his name is William
F. Cody. With the business rights he
was given the title his employer had
borne. The world knows he has kept it
bright, and that neither stain nor tarnish
has touched it.— Chicago Herald.
The Value or Life.
The statistics of the official Lift Insur
ance Quzettc show that Saxony leads the
world in the percentage of suicides, her
annual average being 337 per 1000 in
habitants. Next comes Denmark with
290; France, 150; Bavaria, 127; Turkey
stands at the bottom of the list, with
thirty-two self-destroyers to every mil
lion of inhabitants, but in neighboring
Croatia that rate already rises forty, and
in Hungaria to tifty-two. Measured by
that criterion, over population would
seem to be a ten times greater evil than
despotism.— New York Vain,

A Cub Driver's Joke.
There is an old story told of a Lon
don dandy who was so self-conceited that
every time a "cabby" shouted "hansom''
at him he took it as a compliment on his
personal appearance and threw the fellow
a "bob. A cab driver who has n stand
at the Pennsylvania Railroad Ferry at
West street heard the story, and is using
its point in a way partly amusing and
partly offensive. When the people are
coming off the boats he takes his place in
the line of shouting Jehus,and in a voice
that rises high above the general din
cries.
"Hansom lady! Hansom lady!"
The fellow takes particular pains to ac
cent tho "hansom." The effect on the
crowd is instantaneous. Everybody turns
to see who is so demonstrative in his nd
miralion. The sight of the liveried Jehu
gives them the joke, and old as it is,
though iu a new dress,it generally causes
a laugh. The objection to it is that many
women, like the London dandy, take it
as a personal remark, and naturally re
sent it as a piece of Impertinence.— New
York Time*.
