A HAPPY HOME.

A happy home is the brightest
spot on earth the eye of God looks
down on. Love and peace in his
home sends sunshine round a man
wherever he goes disorder and troub-
lie there, is misery everywhere. There
are few worries of life which man
cannot now and then shake of, but
who can shake himself free from the
skeleton in the closet? When hus-
band and wife are help-meets to each
other in the best sense, when order
and love prevail in the same house,
then the man who has hard battle
to fight can leave his struggles behind
him when he enters there. Whatev-
er helps home life is national bless
ing, whatever hurts home life is a
national curse, and the greatest curse
that can touch these blessings is what
would tamper with the peace and
blessedness of our homes.

Your lawyers may be enriched,

farthing to the wealth and prosperity

WHERE GIRLS ARE KEPT IN A CAGE.

United States Consul Griffin of
Sydney, has made some exhaustive
studies of the inhabitants of New
Britain, an island in the South Pacif-
ic Ocean, and gives the State Depart
ment the benefit of his researches.
Among other things, he says, the in

ing their girls in cages until they are
old enough to marry. These girl
cages are made of the twigs of the
palm tree and the girls are put into
them when they are only two or three
years of age. Girls are never allow
ed to leave the house under any cir
cumstanceS and are only taken out of
the cages once day to be washed.
The girls are said to grow up health
ful in spite of those disadvantages.
The natives are very fond of Jewelry

and women are entirely nude, except
for small strip of bark or leaves.
