Tlie July Oentury.
Abyssinia is a country where, if marriage is a failure, it can be easily dissolved. There is absolutely no lejral
or holy tie. When a man is desirous of
marrying a girl he directly applies to
her parents. The maidens, like those
iu many European countries, are seldom
consulted on the question, the lover
arranging with ihe father or male relatives regarding hor dower, which, generally means a few beeves. sh.eep. or
pieces of cloth, and s,om,et^mes gold.
On the marriage d:vy the bridegroom
presents himself with his tso-St* man at
$ie ho,us.e of his futnyo father-in-law.
idj.ich. feasting goes on till the bride is
oarried off by her husband, generally
on his shoulders, while the male rela-
atives closely follow, making a canopy
of their togas to keep oil' the rays of
the sun, or perhaps the effects of the
evil eye. Behind come a crowd of,
young girls and boys, methodically lifting their arms above their heads, and
clapping their hands to the measured
beating of tom4oms carried by men
rimriiiig' along tho Hanks ot the pro-
oesslon, who also blow long trumpets.
The happy conple that I saw married
out-stripped their followers, with the
exception of their best man, and at
last reached the town green, whevs the
groomsmen formed a seroOft with their
cloaks round the, h.ap,p,y- pali\ when the
| deferred co.u,rtrShip began,
j It is, a eu,stcni\ for the supporters of
the g-r-QQm. generally six in number, to
bo present on this occasion, and for
many days afterward to go round visiting the houses of the mutual friends of
the married pair,extolling the beauties
of the bride and the accomplishments
of the groom, generally finishing up
with a grotesque, (V'.ftOQ, which is much
enjoyed hv ths enthusiastic neighbors,
crowding round the open doorway.
Though this marriage can be aunulled
according to mutual agreement of bride
and groom, if, after years of happiness
together, they wish to cement tho tie
more closely, the pair simply attend the
holy comrn.u.n.ion together in church,
and the marriage is then looked upon
as Indissoluble.
Fast Ocean Sailing.
Ihe steamship City of Paris, ou July
2S, completed the quickest voyage ever
made hetw-een Queenstown and New
York, her time being o days 15 hours
and 2S minutes, and the distance sailed
was 2,7Sa nautical miles. This beats by
thirty-three minutes the. previous fastest record, made by the Teutonic in
August last. The City of Paris also
beat all previous records for single day
runs. The highestperforuian.ee iu this
line heretofore was that of tho Teutonic

A
Scene: Eastern-bound Pullman car
at the Oakland mole.
Time: 3:30 p. m.
Enter elderly gentleman, carrying
small valise and large hamper. Eol-
lowing him two ladies, evidently
mother and daughter. Daughter in
dark blue traveling costume, with
large hunch of violets pinned to front
of her jaclwt; is a pretty, slender girl
of about 19. Both laden with flowers,
boofes and numerous small parcels,
which they deposit in section nearest
middle of car. The following conversation ensues:
"Gladys, dear, I am really worried
over your taking this trip alone. Had
you not better wait a day or so to see
if we can hunt some one up to accompany you?"
"Oh, no, indeed, papa. It was unfortunate that Mr. Wilson was taken
ill so suddenly this morning, so that
Mrs. Wilson could not go with me this
afternoon; but you see I'll have to
start to-day to reach Omaha in time
for Clara's wedding, especially as I'm
to be hridemaid. You and mamma
must not worry, for I shall get along
all right alone."
In the meantime other passengers
eome in and find their respective sections. The engine toots warniugly.
A few more kisses and hurried instructions and papa and mamma are gone.
The train moves off slowly at first, then
with increased speed carries her further and further from the two worried
souls she had just left.
Gladys felt a little bit frightened at
the prospect of this.her first long journey alone, and kept her face turned
toward the fast flying but unnoticed
landscape, for the" blue eyes behind
the long veil were blurred with tears.
Her thoughts flew hack to her parents, now on the way to their home in
San Francisco. She" knew how much
they would miss her—the only child—
though she was going to stay only a
few weeks with her Omaha friends.
She thought, too, of some one else who
—well, some one who w.is also left in
San Francisco.
Finally, turning to inspect her fellow-travelers, slie thought the few
men and two fussy old ladies looked
very uninteresting." Thrown carelessly in the section opposite was a valise
and a man's ulster, but the owner was
not visible. She then turned her attention to the toooks, candy ami Howers
packed up in front of her. She read,
smiled over and tucked away in her
handbKir the cards aud tiny sealed
notos hidden in the candy boxes or attached to the bouquets.
Time passed and with a restless little yawn Gladys glanced at he r watch
and found it after 0. The por'ter just
then announced t'#at astopwouK. be
made at .-'ucniinonto for dinner.
Ghvdy** thought of the bother of unpacking the -neatly strapped hamper
for just one meal, disliked the idea of
going; out at the station alone, wislied
Mrs. \Vilson had eome, than deekted
to dine on candy, as she was not very
hungry.
At that moment a familiar form
came up the aisle and ia a second a
tall, handsome young mail was standing near with outstretched hand. A
gleam of amusement v/as in his dark
eyes as he quietlv saidi "How do you
do, Gladys?"
A delicate pink colored her cheek!
as she shook hands and answered hia.
with a surprised ami rather cool,'"Why,
Jack, where did jjou ccfine from?"
"From the sniokiug-vjoom, where I've
been for the  last   three   hours, ever
since I came in and   found   you   so
wrapped up, in the scenery you did not
see   me,"  he  replied,   moving some
booksaway and sitting beside her in
the most matter-of-oimrse way.
"Where are you going, Jack?"
'•To Omaha, Gladys."
"What for?" asked she. suspiciously.
"Partly   business—partly   pleasure.
Business.to take care oi you; pleasure,
to be with   you," he   answered, concisely.
"Now, Jack, yon knefcv that it is very
f»olisl>, after :"
"Last night, -when you refused me
again. Yes, I knowt; but you se*s I
can't kelp beingfooliah. Was born so,
I guess," said Jack, aesignadly.
Pead silence follov.'.ed thfe for about
two minutes. She looked steadily ont
of the window while he gaasd absently
at the bald hoad of a man a few seats
iu front...
Then ha broke the silence by leaning towatd he? amd saving in a very
soft and persuasive tone:' "Gladys,
won't you sectfr/sider m3t yo"u Said
last Bight?" ' (       .
Looking around nervously to see if
any one could hear, she answered:
"So, Jack—please don't go over that
again, for it won't do one bit of good."
He looked disappointed; then picking up her jacket said:
"Well, we are almost at Sacramento.
Come, let us go out to dinner."
Gladys rose quickly, glad that she
did not have to dine on candy after
all. and while helping   her   with   her
coat Jack casually remarked:
"You have lots of flowers."
"Yes, and these lovely violets—they
came  this morning  with no card attached, but I think I can  thank you
for them," looking up brightly at him.
A tender look came into his eyes as
he said:   "Yes, I sent them and I'm
much   obliged   to   you  for   wearing
them."
"Oh," said Gladj's, rather coolly, "I
had no preference.   They matched my
dress so well—that  is "why   I  wore
them."
"Yes, I see," assented he as coolly.
"Those  cream roses would not look
well, with it at all, for instance."
' ^br little violets—that last remark
caused   their   dethronement, for   the
girl with  a flush hastily and  angrily
detached   them,   saying:     "Come to
think of   it, the   roses would   be   far
more effective," and pinned a few of
the  long-stemmed  beauties   in   their
place.
Just as quickly Jack replaced the
few violets he had worn in his coat
with a rosebud that she dropped, saying:   "Mine are withered, too."
Gladys looked annoyed but said
nothing and in live minutes they were
hurriedly eating dinner at the station
restaurant.
Afterward Jack amused and entertained her till the early bedtime aud
she slept soundly that night feeling
safe with a friend so near.
Carefully looking from behind her
curtains the next morning Gladys saw
that the opposite section had been
changed from "two beds to two seats"
again' but Jack was not visible. Half
an hour found her dressed waiting for
him to appear, as she intended asking
him to breakfast out of the well-
stocked hamper.
Presently he came iu and after a
very sligl;t hesitation smilingly accepted her invitation. He helped her
unpack the hamper and set the table
in her section and in a perfect gale of
fun they began their morning meal
sitting opposite.
"This is fun, isn't it?" said Gladys,
speai'ing for a sardine with a corkscrew for Jack, as company was honored with the only fork.
"Immense!" he assented so emphatically that she laughed gleefully.
Emboldened by this, Jack, in the.
act of carrying a piece of cold chicken
to his mouth, leaned over, and, lowering his voice and fork at the same
time, said, coaxingly: "Let's breakfast together always — shall we,
Gladys?"
She smiled in spite of herself at his
tone and manner, even while a dainty
frown slightly marred her pretty forehead, and she answered briefly and
emphatically: "Couldn'tthink of such
a thing.    Don't be silly. Jack."
"Oh, you cruel little girl!" said Jack,
dramatically, as he straightened up
and proceeded to eat the morsel on his
fork.
Their merry little meal over, the
rest of the day passed in the usual
rputine of a Pullman car. Jack was
all devotion from first to last. Reading, talking and eating, with hasty
little promenades when there was aijy
opportunity was the order of the day.
Gladys acknowledged to herself.after
bidding him good night, that Jack
was a very pleasant companion—but
she did not want to many him; no, indeed.
Jack Hollis had known and loved
Gladjrs Preston since he was a boy of
19 aud she :i little girl of 11. He had
proposed and been declined several
times, but knowing that she did not
dislike him and believing that "everything comes to the man who waits,"
he was waiting and in the meautimo
wooing to the best of his ability.
He was very much afraid she would
meet some other man during her visit
who would fall in love with her aud
win her; hence his deep-laid scheme
to travel to Omaha with her. As for
Gladys, after her first surprise at seeing him on board, she was so used to
his never-failiug devotion that she
took his coming with her as a matter
of course. It was just like Jack, she
thought.
The second morning Gladys arose
with a severe headache. With that
aud a wretched night's sleep she was
worn out and cross—undeniably so.
She snubbed poor Jack, who was all
sympathy; refused the cup of tea he
brought her when they changed crfrs
at Ogden and wheu the journey began
again lay back on the pillows he fixed
iu the seat for her and would have
nothing to say to him.
All day she' suffered intensely, feigning sleep mo:*, of the time to avoid being fussed over by the sympathetic old
ladies.
How Jack longed to take Ihe golden ■
brown head in liis arms and stroke the
throbbing temple*-! Toward uvenin"-.
when the rest of the passengers wero
out at dinner, he a-dced her, with k.
passifmate tremor in his voice, to give
\ him the right to do so.
She was trying to swallow the to.i
he had again brought in to her. Pushing it away, she said angriky:
"Jack, you bother me to death.
Don't ever"mention that subject to me
again, for I will not marry you. Go
away aud do not speak to me at all."
Then the aching head dropped wearily
back on the pillow.
Jack paled, took the half emptied
cup and walked silently out of the car.
That was the last she saw of him that
