According toa recent despatch from Japan, the Japanese Minister of Education, Marquis Saou), has formulated hi+ educa- tional system, which seems to meet the approval of all the higher classes. He proposes to bring up young men on broad and liberal lines, and insists that the siudy of the English language is of the greatest importance. He will do away with the study of old Japanese literature in the echools—which is, after all, but a study of Chinese—and make the study of English compulsory where it is now only optional If his recommendations are adopted the relations between the Japanese and the Anglo-Saxon race should become gradu- ally clover, and a feeling of concord avd amity should be engendered. The era of progress that began thiriy years ago in Japan seems yet to have reached ouly an early stage.

7ULU WEDDINGS.

WARRIAGE CEREMONY AN INTEREST- ING AFFAIR.

fhe Brides Do All the Courting=—The

Girls Are Coquettith and Make'the Pro- posals—Wives Are Bartered or.

A wedding in Zululand is as great an went as in Gotham; greater, indeed, ‘or the ceremonies last three days; a <ing’s wedding takes a month's time.It neans finery and feasting, and thoug:t me may not associate the sentiment ‘eadily with a benighted country whe re ‘wool grows on and hair m sheep’s backs,” At é€ast, sometimes. ind polygamy can prevent the grow of the strongest of human passions,

They are quite fin de siecle, too, in Zululand, for the. girls, if they feel ike it, propose. The men are of ro- puster make than Americans, or else they have grown hardened through rears of question popping,for if adusky maid doesn’t suit a youns chief he has he grit to refuse. That is not al- ways the end of a Zulu girl’s wooing, hough, as the story of a dark maid ind a coquettish chief will show. Hi

1ad been displaying his ability in the lance, She did not know him, but site went to his kraal and pleaded for his iffection. He protested that he hadn't iuny to give her, put she wouldn't £0 away. He sent for her brother, whv ‘ook her by the shoulders and march- xd her home. She came pack, but ‘he obdurate object of her courtsh!p sounded her with a stick. Zulu gossips lo not tell how she bore this affront yr carried her point after it, but carry

men’s head it means love. Not even barbaris:: hh

t she did. The necesSary cows were said by her father and the two were narried.

Cows play an important part in Zu- u weddings. The husband, in propor- tion to his wealth, pays his father-in- aw, not for his wife, but the right :o retain in his own family the chil- iren he may have. Otherwise the chil- iren would belong to the family of sis wife’s father.

A Zulu girl is often a coquette, and avoids the importunities of her father, who, hankering for the eattle she will yring, chides her for not marrying. When the girl thinks her father is about to suggest a husband for her she usually runs away to the kraal of ser lover, and if he has cattle enough and is of good family, preparations for the wedding are made, Both par- ties must learn new Songs and dances for the coming event. The bride gets her stock of meats, spoons, dishes, etc., ready for housekeeping. Her father’s gift is a blanket and always an Ox, which is looked upon as the ox of the amohlozi ancestrial spirits. Its loss by death would be thought a token of the protecting spirits of her father’s house.

On her wedding day the bride, with 2 gay following, proceeds toward the »ridegroom’s kraal, which she will not enter until night, the whole company singing and dancing as they g2. The bridegroom's party looks on at first and then joins in the revelries.,

On the second day the groom con- tributes to the festivities by slaughter- ing a cow. The bride wanders about the kraal at night, and is supposed to be crying for her father’s home. She tries to run away, but the girls pre- vent her. On the third and last day of the ceremonies the bride appears bearing a spear in one hand and a dish of water in the other. Coming ip, singing and dancing, she turows the water over her husband, sprinkling her brother and sister-in-law at the same time, as a symbol that from that time her sway is to prevail in her husbanu’s household. Then she breaks the spear and makes a last pretended attempt to escape. If she is not stopped at the gate of the kraal by a young man ap- pointed for that purpose it is consid- eared a disgrace, and the bridegroom must pay a cow to get her back,

he marriage rites are now ended. although at the close of nearly every wedding the father of the bride takes a shield and descants upon his daugh- ter’s charms and on all he has done for her, saying that the number of cows he has received is too small, but that he hopes she will be well treated, atc. He emphasizes his words by Jump- ing up and violently kicking his shield. Then the father of the bridegroom ap- pears with a shield and lauds the vir- tues of his son, and complains that he has paid too many cattle, that the girl is homely, etc., lending even more spirit to his gestures than the bride’s father has done. This ceremany is added ,it is said, in order that the bride may not be too much elated. “A man’s wives make his home great,” is a common saying among the Zulus, and they limit the number only as the number of their cows is limited.

“Ie I have but one wife, who will ecok for me when she is ill?” argues the Zulu.

Nor may the poor wife complain. Should she be sick, and unable to at- tend to her work, she is liable to hear from her husband the question: “Why do you not work and get back tne cattle I have paid for you?” If she is not fully paid for, her children can be taken as a mortgage, The wives must work in the fields and have a hard time of it.

The practice of polygamy, though intended to increase, really diminish- es the tribes, as the wealthy old men who have plenty of cattle to barter fur women, marry all the pretty young girls. An ugly but rich old fellow, so hearly blind that he had to be led, had two of the handsomest wives i: the village.
