A New View of Matternick.
From the Youths Companion.

From the Youths Companion.
It is commonly thought that states
men are little troubled by conscience
and are governed simply by expedien
cy or ambition. Metternick, who ha6
the reputation Of a model statesman
of this order, helped to rearrange the
map of Europe after the overthrow o.
Napoleon, and was the leader of Aus
trian politics, till the popular revolu'
ton of 1913. He seemed to be gov.
erned by ambitious aims, and to
have no regard for justice or the rights
OF the people.
But, if his journals may be trusted,
he thought himself loyal to conscience
and governed always by desire to do
right. He says of himself
CATER thirty-six years Of public life.
I have never lived to self. The part
have played has not been from choice,
but imposed by a feeling OF duty. Free
from every ambition but the desire oil
honestly fulfilling tasks which, for a
variety OF reasons, were laid upon me
from the very commencement of my
ministry, have never left the path
which seemed to me to be the right
one. Unmoved by the errors of ou1
time, errors which always lead society
to the abyss, I vehad the happiness
in a time full of danger to serve the
cause of peace, and the welfare of the
nations, which will never be advanced
by revolutions.
If Metternick was sincere, he has been
greatl y misjudged. If the popular yer.
dict is correct, he must have been
strangely ignorant OF his own mo-
tives.

A Curious Custom of the New
Britain Islanders.

Washington Letter: United States
Consul Griffin, of Sidney, brother OF
Mary Anderson's step-father, has
made some exhaustive studies Of the
inhabitants Of New Britain, an island
in the South Pacific Ocean, and gives
the State Department the benefit OF
his researches. Among other things
he says that the inhabitants have the
custom of combining their girls in cages
until they are old enough to marry.
This custom he says is peculiar to
that island and without a parallel
among the inhabitants of the South
Seas. These girl cages are made OF
twigs of the palm tree and the
girls are put into them when only
two or three years of age. These
cages are built inside the houses and
the girls are never allowed to leave
the house under any circumstances,
and are only taken out of the cages
once day to be washed. The houses
themselves are closely fenced in with a
sort of wicker work made of reeds.
Ventilation under the circumstances
is rendered difficult. The girls are
said to grow up strong and healthful
in spite of their disadvantages. The
natives are very fond OF jewelry made
of shell Or bone.
Both men and women are entirely
nude, except a small strip of bark or
leaves around the loins. They have
thick, black curley hair, large fiat
noses, and symmetrical bodies. They
display great fondness for feathers
of gaudy colors, with which they deco
rate their heads. Sometimes they wear
a helmet or head dress, about eighteen
inches in hight, made of bark and sea-
weeds, and ornamented with shells,
cat's-eyes, etc.

They Loved One Another.
Thursday morning a young I

Thursday morning a young man
and woman stood in front of the Jour-
nal Office viewing the passing process
sion. To protect his companion from
the jostling crowd the man held his
strong right arm about her waist dur
ing the time they stood there. It was
a source OF considerable merriment to
the newsboys, and one Of the mischiev-
Gus ones, in bright blue letters on a
white plaeard, inscribed the words,
1--WE love each other" and in atwink-
ling it was fastened to the young man s
back. When the end OF the procession
passed the couple started up Westmin-
ster street, and as far up the street as
their forms could be seen the placard
with its legend doomed up with reals

Why Bachelors Abound in Mex.

When a Mexican lady is widowed

City Journal, a family council is i'm,

OF her poperty and the education o.

an aged woman, she must reside with
her relatives. So thoroughly are Mex.
lean gentlemen imbued with this idea
OF womanly dependence that they dc

A CONVERSATION ABOUT THoREAU.
The Life and Works of the Great poet-Natur-
alist Discussed by Plymouth Institute.

The open monthly meetings Of Plymouth In
stitute closed for the season last evening with a
conversation about Henry Thoreau, the poet
naturalist, Of Concord, Mass, led by Misses
Elizabeth and Mary Nicholson, DR.. Brayton,
Charity Dye, Miss Taylor Mr.. MCCULLOUGH, Mr..
Steele and others. The room was decorated
with blossoms from the spring wood-hepatico,
sqirrel corn onemones spice bush and willow
''pussies'--in which Thoreau botanized and
which he SO loved.
The principal discussion was by Miss e. Mich
olson, who presented Thoreau in his relationships
to nature and to man, as portrayed in his books
and conversations
DR.. Brayton dwelt upon the motive of his
hermitage at Walden Pond in little house he
built with his own hands, and where the entire
expenses OF his living for two years were but $67
for food, shelter and clothing. He wished to
see what life is when 1t is reduced to the bone,
and conventionalities are discarded. He also
spoke OF Thoreau's relations to slavery, and his
support Of John Brown. OF the fine lives of
Thoreau, the biographical essay by Emerson,
and the life by IL. A. Page-"Thoreau, His
Life and Aims" were recommended, and of his
seven books now published, walden Pond
the Excursions and the yankee in Canada
were admired as most representative and in
structive. The latter contains the political
essays, anti-slavery and reform papers, and was
thought by Myron Reed to be the best of all his
works.
A bas-relief of Thoreau, from the picture by
Ricketson, was exhibited, and also sketches of
his little home at Walden Pond, where he had
one chair for solitude, two for friendship and
three for society. And SO the evening passed in
getting at what the life of the most noted of
American Protestants and renunciants stands
for, and what there is in it to follow or avoid.

THE ASSESSMENT OF PROPERTY.
Assessor Quilts Deputies and the Instructions
Given Them Regarding Their Work.

Township Assessor elect Thomas F. Quill will
take possession of his Office this morning. Last
evening, at the rooms of the county recorder
his deputies were qualified and sworn, with the
exception of those who have been chosen for
Office work or as specials After being sworn
by County Auditor Adams, Mr. Quill told his
deputies that they would al be made aware of
their duty, and be expected to perform it. He
wanted them to work for Center township and
her interest as they would work for the interest
Of an individual; to conduct themselves with
proper decorum and prove to be exemplary
officers.
County Auditor Adams reminded the real
estate assessors that this years appraisement
was an exceedingly important one as it would
rule for six years. He said it was important to
get list from every one, even if the person
should have nothing but poll. He urged them
to be persistent and industrious to get returns
from every one, and TO pay special attention to
listing all the dogs for taxation, and to be
ful not to get any voter on the list for poll tax
who is over fifty years old-a matter which
gives the auditor great annoyance He said the
specific object was to get an honest and fair re-
turn for taxation, and he laid stress upon the
injunction that they remember that they are
public servants and they should be polite courte-
Gus and friendly to ALL
The appointees are, without exaggeration, by
far the best that have been chosen for many
years. There are a large number of elderly men
among them. who by reason of their long
citizenship In the township specially adapted to
the work assigned them There is heavy
sprinkling of Grand Army men, showing that
the old soldier has not been disregarded and a
number of colored men, who are recognized as
in every way fitted for the duties they are called
upon to discharge. The following is the list of
