Peculiarities of tlio Alntu. Inasmuch as there ere no family names, no village, tribal, or national rights to bo respected, there is nothin" approximating to father light or mother right. Or perhaps it would be more exact to say that, inasmuch as women arc only_recognized as servants throughout their whole lives, and as mothers as soon as they hare reached the propel' age, the personality of the whole family is sunk in that of the husband and father while *bo lives. When he dies ho i3 at once and ubso lutely forgotten, and each surviving member of his family pursues an en tirely separato course, in no way con cerning himself about the ethers. If a man dies and leaves a family of in fant children, tho care of them de volves upon tho mother until tho oldest son reaches tho ago of about 18; then ho becomes tho head of tho family. Feuialo inheritance is utterly unkno wn, ns would lie expected in a society wherein women havo no rights at all. If u man is so unfortunate as to leavo no truo heir, or so careless ns not to havo adopted one, his property goes to his next younger brother, or nis nearest male relative, if bo havo no brothers cither by birth or adoption.— J.

FRANKLIN, DealBi: Broker aii Comissii {festal, ltlillio Streams That Vanish. One of tho peculiar features of Idaho scenery is the frequent occurrence of dark rocky chasms and channels of lava into which streams and rivers plunge and are apparently forever lost. These fissures are supposed to bo old lava beds. Tho outside of tho molten mass cooled and formed a roof, tho fiery stream below became exliausted, leaving an empty chamber. A break in this roof having occurred, an open ing was formed into which tho river or stream now disappears, to reappear as a mysterious lake, basin or spring On somo distant mountain or plain.
