CURIOUS MARRIAGE CUSTOMS

Among the People of tho New Britain
Group-Romantic Ceremony.
At the meeting Of the British association
at Bath, the Rev E. Danks read paper on
Marriage Customs Of the New Britain
Group" He said that for marriage pur-
poses the people of New Britain are divided
into two classes or divisions. No man may
marry woman Of his own class To do so
would bring instant destruction upon the
woman, and, If not immediate death to the
man, his hfe would never be secured. Pre-
parations for marriage are various. On
Duke of York island, initiation into the Sc
cret society, which is called Dukduk, seems
sufficient preparation though not abso-
lutely necessary to marriage for the boys
and there appears to be no needful prepara-
tion for the girls. On New Ireland some
girls wear fringe across their shoulders
until they are marriageable. These are the
poorer class.
Others are put into cages, In which they
remain four or five years without being al
lowed to go outside the houses in which they
are confined These cages are conica
structures, about Z or feet in height anG
about 10 or 12 feet in circumference at tbs
bottom and about four feet from tht
ground, where they taper off to a point a
the top. They are made Of the broad leave
+, of the pandanus tree, sewn quite close to
| gether so that no light and very little ali
can enter. On one side is an opening which
is closed by double door of plated cocoa
nut tree and pandanus tree leaves Abou

provided for these girls when they are take
out OF the cages.
Wives are purchased with shell money

A new outfit is being rapidly introduced
thrtv shout the whole German army. One.
indeed, of the alterations, as it does not in
volve any new equipment, has been already
taken up by all the regiments-that is, the
strapping of the overcoat round the knap-
sack instead Of over the shoulders and across
the body. This has the great advantage of
allowing the man to breathe more freely and
to open his coat if he wishes. The knapsack
itself has been changed, and is of a longer
shape than before. 1t consists of two parts,
the knapsaek proper and the pocket, the
former containing the soldiers linen, the lat
ter the famous 'pease sausage" and bacon.
The belt is, in the now outfit, all important,
and serves to make the whole equipment
fast From it, on the left, hangs the bayo-
net, which has been so shortened that it is
now merely light dagger not foot long
while in front two pouches are attached,
each containing thirty cartridges (the non.
commissioned officers have smaller pouches
holding only fifteen EACH.
Behind is third pouch, which contains
forty cartridges, made up in two pasteboard
cases These are reserve, and were for
merly kept in the knapsack- By this change
the soldier carries twenty cartridges mors
than formerly. On the right hangs the
bread wallet, which is larger than the ole
pattern. 1t has no longer belt of its own
but hangs directly from the sword belt, thu
| relieving the chest. The water flask il
hooked on the bread wallet. The pannikir

sack, but is now laid fat on the top Will

bined result is that the soldiers chest

trenching tool is not carried on the soldier

Marxelous Memory for Business,

B. P. Hutchinson, the noted board of trade
man, keeps all his business right in his head,
and when at the end of a days hard work
some clerk or broker makes a mistake Of
5000 bushels the old man detects it in a
minute and jumps on him In a way that he
doesn't soon forget One day in the club
some one tackled the old man on this very
point and intimsted doubt as to whether
the old speculator knew where he stood on
the days trading. Hutch" drew his set
ting books from his pocket and throwing
them at the doubter, said:
"Open those books and keep tab on what
say. II l make the mistake of a bushe
either way III give you my profits for tn.
day" and he began reciting of the trading
of his brokers from what he remembered O
his own orders to them He didn't make
single slip.
One day he was on the floor when nev
Telegraph boy appeared with a message fo
him. Not knowing the old man the bo,
stood right by the side Of "Hutchn callinl
