Girls in a Cage.

. Girls are said to be treated In a
curious way In the Pacific island Of
New Britain. From two or three
years old until they become OF age
they are kept la cages, made of palm
leaves. They are taken out once ev-
cry day to be washed, but in all 9TH
er respects this kind Of imprisonment
is very strict. In spite Of this SEEM
ingly harsh usage, however, they grow
up hardy and healthy. But 1t may
be doubted IL this custom is really
generally observed by the islanders.
