A marriage celebration in Algeria is an interesting relic of ancient customs. The bridegroom goes to bring a bride, and the guests assembled outside the house will wait for his coming. Soon the sound of pipe is heard coming from tho summit of some neighboring hill, and tho marriage procession approaches the bridegroom's bouse. The pipers always come first in the procession, then tho bride muffled up in a veil, riding a mule led by her lover. * Then comes a bevy of gorgeously dressed damsels, sparkling with silver orna s ments, after which the friends of the bride follow. The procession stops in front of the bridegroom's bouse, and the girl's friends line both sides of the pathway. The pipers march off on one side, while the bridegroom liftß the girl from the mule and holds her in his arms. The girl's friends thereupon throw earth at the bridegroom when lie hurries forward and carries her over the threshold of his house. Those about the door beat liim with olive branches, amid much laugh ter. In the evening, on some occasions, the pipers and drummers are called in, and the women dance, two at a time, facing each other; nor does a couple desist until, panting and exhausted, they step aside to make room for another. The dance has great energy of movement, though the steps are small and changes of position slight, the dancers only cir cling round occasionally. But they swing their bodies about with an astonishing energy and suppleness. * As leaves flutter before the gale, so do they vibrate to the music; they shake; they shiver and tremble; they extend quivering arms, wave veils, and their minds seem lost in the abandon and frenzy of the dance, while the other wo men, looking on, encourage by their high, piercing, trilling cries, which add to the noise of the pipes and drums.— New York Journal. Wellington's ri:iDH. • Before the battle of Waterloo, uo one ■was probably more uneasy than Lord Uxbridge, who, if Wellington should l>e killed, would he called upon to succeed him in command, and who knew nothing whatever about the duke's plans. "I aiu in a very difficult position," he said to a fri aid. "If any accident hap pens to the duke, I shall find myself cotu mander-in-chiof. I would give anything in the world to know the duke's projects, and yet I dare not ask him what I ought to do." After some consultation on the subject, they went together to Wellington and frankly told l.im the difficulty in hand. The duke listened without impatience, and at the end of Lord Uxbridge's speech, he said, calmly: "Who will attack the first to-morrow, I or Bonaparte?" "Bonaparte," replied Lord Oxbridge. "Well," continued the duke, "Bona parte has not given me any idea of his projects, and, as my plans will depend upon his, how can you expect me to tell you what mine are?" Lord Uxbridge bowed and made no reply. The duke rose, and continued, touching him in a friendly way on the shoulder; "There is one thing certain, Uxbridge —that is, that whatever happens, you and 1 will do our duty." He then shook his hand warmly, and they separated, Lord Uxbridge no wiser than before, yet feeling lliat Wellington had trusted him exactly as far as his reticent nature would allow. Yet the great duko did depend in a great measure upon the application of common sense to the needs of the mo ment. When he was once asked how he succeeded in conquering Napoleon's mar shals, one after another, he replied: "They planned their campaigns just as you might make a splendid set of har ness. It looks very well and answers very well until it gets broken, and then you are done for. Now, I make my campaign of ropes. If anything went wrong, 1 tied a knot and went on."— Exchange. .Itiolphtid Trollop* Cook. Mr. Trollop" wis fortunate ia curing attached servants.

A TALK ABOUT BUTTER. A MILKMAID TELLS QF THE PRO CESSES OF ITS MAKING. It All Cornell from Cream —A Vlaifc to a Large Dairy Farm —How the Milk in Gathered —Rocol lections of "Cherry," "Quceu lleK*," and Other Old Favorites. "Why don't you buy creamery butter? I always do, I think it is better; why, it is made of cream, you know," said a young woman who lias been recently married and who superintends the keep ing of the dearest house in the world. I was rather amused at the remark and at the tone of advice. To mo it seemed inexpressibly funny, as I thought I knew better than she did, having seen those mysterious processes called butter mak ing. Wondering if there were others who knew no more about that rather necessary article, 1 resolved that I would enlighten the public, and beginning with a cow —a red cow, 1 think, called Cherry —I would tell the whole story of how butter is made, and perhaps prove that other butter is made of cream, too. Cherry stands up to her knees in red clover and, rapidly but not greedily, bites off the glowing heads. Nobody knows how many "four leaf clovers" she has swallowed; perhaps, that is what makes all liar milk turn to golden butter. She puts iu a white and gold daisy and eats sweet flag and anise, so that at night when she is driven home to the barnyard her breath is as fragrant as new mown hay. I am sorry that the pretty milkmaid, whom Barney l>others, is almost extinct; but if it is not her, as it sometimes still is, it is somebody else with clean fingers who docs the milking and, as he whistles, thinks of her. So you thought dairy butter was not made of cream. Let us follow the milk man, while Cherry lies down and in '•meditation, fancy free" chews her con templative cud. When you have seen the milk carried to a little stone milk house, built on a hillside, where the wa ter from a spring trickles in and around the pans, and Btnellod the cool, sweet cleanness of the place, you will be ready to confess that dairy butter may be good. Then when you have seen a woman in white cap and apron, with strong, grace ful arms, lift the dasher up and down in an earthen churn, and seen her with a ladle in her hand working the butter into a yellow roll, I am sure you will be glad to taste it. This is surely the poetry of butter making, and 1 thought there could be no other, until I realized that perfec tion of mechanical detail and fitness for uses did make poetry also. I visited a large dairy farm and was taken through a great cool cellar, where the milk of forty deer-like Jerseys was cooling. It was in large vats with run ning water all around it. Then the churning was done by a water motor, and the butter worked in a large howl, and after this I saw it pressed into half pound packages just right for the table. Each package had a sheaf of wheat printed on it, was wrapped in a sheet of parafibte paper, and laid hv itself in an fee-lined comnartment. I thought i lie people of PI aticipljia. where this was to be shiftpptp were v'ry fortuuale. 1 have not described all the processes very minutely, as I wanted to tell about the making of en itnory butter, and the print iplis the same in all butter mak ing. To go back a little, they carry the pails of foaming milk—and this is no poet's figure—to the great tin cans that stand in the cornrr of the grassy yard and strain it into thorn. Tito cans are wheeled out to the roadside and set on a rude platform there, and when tiie man who drives the milk wagon oome along he sets them lightly in, along with many others. I have found it in inv heart to envy this man. Fie sees the world in all the fresh ness of morning, when everything is waking up and is fresh and bright after its rest: again when the sun sets and the glow still lingers, the big man drives his sturdy team slowly up the hills and at a round pace down the slopes, and carries his load to the creamery. It is a long building, a little at one side of the town, and looks like soldiers' barracks. Here the milk of "Cherry," "Queen Less" and "Polyanthus" is emptied together into great vats and inextricably mixed, in quiet it stands, and chemically, and, therefore, imperceptibly, the yellow cream particles are separated and rise to the surface. In the morning there is a thick miiss of cream to be skimmed ofr and churned. The cream of the previous milking is put with it, as they chum only ! once a da v. All this cream is turned into a great square churn, hung cornerwise. the belt which attaches it to the engine is slipped ! on and it is turned over and over a great | many times, until the experienced ear ! knows the right moment has come. Then i it is stopped and the buttermilk is drawn j off. They have a special bright tin cup which they reserve for visitors; this they i will till and give to any one who stands | by.

DIED WITH HER BOOTS ON. A Ht>rt%e Thief That Proved to Be a Hand gome Young Girl. In the first days of Leadville wagons formed the only means of transportation for the immense quantity of merchan dise needed there and for the shipment of the large output of ore and bullion. As a consequence horses and mules were used in large numbers. Trains of freight wagons lined the rcsids leading to the great carbonate camp, and it frequently became necessary to turn the stock out after a hard day's journey to graze on the adjoining hill sides. Ltadville of fered a good market for work stock of all kinds, as animals brought from the east frequently succumbed to the cli matic effect of a high altitude and heavy work. Many a freighter readied the top of a hard pull only to see his best work mule lie down and die in the har ness. Such inducements and easy sale brought professional horse thieves in abundance. The immunity from pun ishment that they seemed to enjoy and high prices paid for their plunder stimu lated them to constant activity and made them bold in their profession. Sa guache county, Colo., was a favorite section for the operations of this frater nity, these gentlemen making their tripe with almost the regularity of stage coaches. After an unusually bold raid a party was organized, determined to follow the trail and overtake the thieves, and if the depredators were caught to save all county expenses in the way of sheriff fees and trials. The party started early in the morning, and as the trail was large and hot they were able to follow it almost at a gallop. Following along the west side of the San Luis valley and then through a defile of the Sangre de Christo mountains, the course of the pursuers and pursued emerged iuto the Arkansas valley, close to where the South Arkan sas flows into the main stream. Here it was evident that the two parties could only be a short distance apart. The rob bers had taken more stock than they could easily handle, and did not seem to be aware that they were being followed. Two of the stockmen front the ranches on the route joined the vigilantes and furnished fresh horn®. About noon on the follov. ing day the thieves with the stolen stock were discovered camped at the north of Cottonwood creek. There were but two. One appeared to be a young boy not over 16; the other was a fine looking young man of perhaps 20 or 22 years of age. On being called on to surrender the boy pulled a six shooter and fired on the vigilantes. At the same time he and his companion jumped down behind the bank of the river, from which place it was found impossible to dislodge them without the loss of at least three or four men. After a hurried council of war, it was decided for two men to go down the river, cross over and come up on the other side to a point where the fugitives could bo easily covered, and the balance to pre vent their escape from the position they were in. This was dene, and when t' a thieves were again summoned to surren der, tiny-imply turned and commenced firing at their two putsuers on the oppo site side of the river. The fire was re turned. : nd result' J in the boy dropping dead v. Ith a broken neck, and his com panion falling with a bullet through the lungs. When tic vigilanti s went to where tin y lay tho • lder was still alive, and the boy vv':i.. oLcour.e, dend. and proved to be a lovely young girl, with delicate and re fined features. The one who could still talk refused to tell who they were or from whence they came, only that their people '.vi re re tpcctable. and that he de sired them to remove hi.s boots, as he did not wish to die with his hoots on. He was evidently a man of good education, but positively refuse d to give any infor mation. In a few hours he also was dead, and the two were buried beneath the cottouwoods near the river hank. Their identity was never discovered. — Helena Journal. Cod's Acre. The old Teutonic and Saxon term, "God's Acre," as applied to the last rest ing place of the human ldy, Longfel low made the thani.- of on of his most touching and beautiful poems; it is an eminently sugg- a ivc term. The acre or field of God contains the seed hidden in the ground for a while, to ripen into a glorious harvest; and. just as we write the labels in the spring time for seed we put in the ground, that we may remem ber what beautiful flower is to spring from the little gray atom, so we put a stone at. the head of the grave of our dead.

The last issue of The Journal of the Anthropological society of Bombay con tains a curious paper by Mr. Rehatsek on twenty of the branches of eastern magic, all of which are in vogue at the present time. The first of these is the "Argaua of letters and of names," by which let ters and figures are combined into magic squares, incantations, etc. These derive their power from the "arbitrary use of them made by the spirits governing the natural world, in such away that the ninety-nine beautiful names of God and other divine words formed of letters con taining the Arcana, which pass into ma teria) substances, intercedes." The ma gician, of course, is the solo interpreter of the uses and significances of the com binations. Alchemy comes next, and is followed b\ astrology, the most popular of all the Eastern occult sciences. It is practiced on all occasions, to discover thefts, to foretell the result of a journey, the fu ture of au infant, etc. Another popular practice is soothsaying from the sacred liooks by opening one at random and placing the linger on a line. This is al most the only one of the sciences whicli costs nothing, and which every one can practice. The selection of days is a sub ordinate branch of astrology, and is em ployed to ascertain what days are lucky or unlucky for the commencement of certain enterprises, the wearing of new clothes, and the like. Divination and the interpretation of dreams are common everywhere. Sum moning and subjugating demons is the most fearful of the magical sciences. There are two kinds —one dangerous and embracing unlawful magic, the other re ligious and consisting mainly in con fining demons in flame, so that they are compelled to obey the commands of the magician. Geomancy is practiced by means of dots made witFi a pencil and arranged iii complicated combinations so that they answer questions. The art of invisibility appears to he only known by name to Mr. Rehatsek, for he does not desire it. Jefr is a sci ence which is only known to one family. It is defined as "the general science con cerning the Tallies of the Eternal De cree and of Predestination," and enables adepts to know all that has happened, is happening or will happen in the most remote future.—London Times. Friillifrftd Policemen. The description given by The London Globe of the cariamas or soriemas, lo cated in the eastern aviary of the Zoolog ical gardens, will amuse everybody while it should not surprise any one. That there should bo among birds a species which is fitted to perform among its kind the duties undertaken among men by policemen is a fact for which all ought to he prepared. Why should not each variety of created things have in its midst the same sort of functions and functionaries, modified according to cir cumstances and habit? More than one pictorial artist —as, for instance, C. 11. Jle.iiu-tt in this country—has shown us what marvelous resemblances birds and animals can be made to bear and actually do bear to man. and if humanity finds it necessary to have policemen, why should not the "feathered tribes" he sin- ! irly impelled. The cariauia seems parti* iarly well fitted for the po.-t of publi • guar.iiau. lie peraxubula'es hi- cage with all the regu larity and hauteur of his human proto type o" Ids "beat," and if at intervale he emits piercing shrieks which serin un called for, he only the more faithfully carried out the analogy. This, no doubt, is his way of blowing the whistle, and when he does it in his cage it is probably front instinct or from immemorial cus tom. He has already been acclimatized in the poultry yard, where he faithfully performs his duty as the preserver of order. If two young cocks assault or batter each other he steps in between them and stops the combat "by a series of pecks divided impartially at the heads of both." Impartiality, of course, is an excellent quality in a policeman, whether lie be bird or man; would there were more of it. The origin of the cariama is. it seems, lost in obscurity; but it is admittedly ancient, and possibly lie may be a lineal descendant of the judge birds of ornitho logical antiquity.—Denver Republican. Tonsil Old /ttlii Chief*. The old chiefs in South Africa know nothing about trekking, and on several occasions became so impatient that they started off on foot ahead of the wagons. One day they had to walk thirty-seven miles before reaching water, and then had to wait two days on scant rations before we came up with them. One of these men is 75 years old, but the tough old Zulu (the Matabele rulers are of Zulu origin) was none the worse for the esca pade. On another occasion, in spite of our warnings, they left us, armed only with assegais, in the worst part of the lion country.

The Caucasian lias but one New Year's; the Mongolian has many—in a sense. There is, first, the real New Year, the first day of the Chinese calendar. Then there is the day on which the reigning emperor began his reign, and that is a patriotic New Year's. Finally, there is the great "Devil Drive," about the first of October. WORSHIP OK JOSS. In Chinese annals this is the 4,238 th year of this era, as eras were divided by Fan Koo Wong, the divine regulator of time; but as to the real duration of mundane tilings Chinese history deals with eras so vast and reigns so long that a little variation of 1,000 years is treated as a trifling discrepancy. The New York Chinese made the day glorious indeed. Tlie night before the big Joss house at 10 Mott street had been newly decorated within, and promptly at 0 o'clock Cliiti Bali, one of the officiating priests, placed four cups of tea in front of the idol of Joss and lighted the big Chinese lanterns on the front of the building. The great event of the day was the Whey Nean dinner at about 8 o'clock, which was the grand wind up for the departing year. No expense had been spared to make itu success. The Whey Nean dinner is the best the Chinaman eats during the year, and after it in good time—for they spend four or five hours eating, drinking and smoking—comes the annual purifying bath, which is much like the ceremony some sects have of bathing in the Jor dan. Anti-Chinese agitators have de clared that this is the only hath the Chi naman takes in the year. At any rate the New York Chinamen did all their re ligion required, and exactly at midnight the blaze of fireworks began from the balcony of their temple, then all those within fell on their knees before the household Joss. After saying the New Year prayer they started in to burn Joss sticks and incense papers, and the room was quickly filled with smoke, llien came congratulations and the greetings of "Koon he fa Toy," which means "'a happy New \ oar."

The reason for this remarkable varia tion in dates is that Chinese history be gins with the reigns of the Tien-hwang, Ti-Whang and Yin-Whang, or celestial, superhuman terrestrial and human rul ers, and at a later date the foundation of their- own empire was recognized, and , finally, the people generally becoming skeptical, the annual combine against the devil became a sortof New Year's, as things bad got to such a pass that the devil was the only invisible power in which all* Chinamen believed.
