The Maori women of Australasia have
their rights-fourisbing ones. General
ly they have little voice or choice In the
selection Of their first husbands, but
they may, and frequently do, change
them. A woman may trade her husband
without so much as a comment from
the public, without the slightest smudge
on her good name, and it is nothing to
his discredit either. Courtship is always
brief apd does not often preface mar
riage. The Maoris, however, love to re-
peat oriental love tales and sing love
songs. Maori widows not infrequently
commit suicide on the graves Of their
husbands and are honored for doing so,
as in China. Divorce is simple; it needs
no revenue, employs no officers. He
turns her out of doors, and both are FREQ
to remarry. This is all. Girls are often
betrothed irrevooably from infancy.

NO STOVES IN KOREA.
Instead Elucs Are Laid Under tho
Floors. which Are Thus Heated.

instead tlues are Iatu tn0er thS
Floors. which Are Thus Heated.
Stoves are not used to any extent by
the native Koreans. The Korean meth
cd of heating is excellently adapted to
their resources and conditions. In build
ing their houses they lay down a sys-
tenn of lues where the floor is to be.
These flues begin at a fireplace, which
is usually placed in an outer shed or
connecting closed alleyway.
From this fireplace the f1ues extend
in "a more or less curved direction, like
the ribs of a round fan, to a trench at
the rear of the room, which in turn
opens into a chimney, which is usually
placed some distance from the house.
Flat flagstones are then placed carefully
over these flues, and the whole is &C.
mented over and finally covered with q
thick oil paper. for which the country
is noted. This paper keeps smoke from
entering the room, and E little straw OF
brushwood, used in the fireplace for
cooking the rice, serves to heat the
stone floor and gives an agreeable
warmth, which lasts till the time Of the
mex meal.
Two heatings daily tend to give the
people a nice warm floor, upon which
they sit in the daytime and sleep at
night. By leaving their shoes at the
door the inmates preserve the paper
floor, which from constant polishing
takes on u rich brown color.-New

BUYING STOCK
EMPLOYEES AT OMAHA INVESTING
IN UNION PACIFIC
STOCK.
Preferred Stock With a Four Per Cent
Guaranty Makes Safe Investment
Railroad to Put on New Kind of
Sleepers, Called Ordinary Sleepers
Medium Prices to be Charged.

You have noticed. | suppose, that
the Union Pacific directors have or
dered a " per cent dividend on pre-
ferred stock" said a Union Pacific man
at headquarters a day or two ago, as he
proudly drew from his desk a Union
Pacific stock certificate, says the Oma-
ha World4Herald.
"On this certificate l will get no divi-
dends," he explained, because l
bought stock since December 81. You
will observe that the directors have de
clared this dividend on the surplus
earnings for the six months ending
December 81, and that the directors
have limited it to IL per cent, because
under the present management the road
and the directors, being without a base
of experience, have held back a goodly
reserve. But l have another block OF
stock held before that time on which
| get my little dividend.
There are several of the boys around
headquarters here who have bought
stock in the company lately. because
they believe that it is a good invest
ment of their savings. You see the pre-
ferred stock draws four per cent divi-
dends before any are declared on the
common stock, and it is worcestershire.
They all have confidence that the earn
ing capacity of the Union Pacific will
make that 4 per cent on the preferred
stock sure, although the common may
not draw much for some time yet. No
dividends have been declared as yet on
the common stock by the new manage
ment.
Last fall the Union Pacific preferred
stock was 61A. but it has since gone up
to owe 80, and with the news Of this
last dividend l wouldn't be surprised
to see it take another shoot. Now you
a e that the money that we invest
ed last fall when the stock was 61A,
with 4 per cent dividends on the par
value, is over 6 per cen on the par val
Ne. while that bought by so many of
the boys about the building lately at
so e 5 per cen on the investment.
Pretty good investment, isn't it?
Do you wonder that the headquarters
employees are becoming stockholders?
You will notice too, that the man
agement proposes to make extensive per-
manent improvements in the property,
and that the expenditure allotted for
this purpose for 1898 and 1899 is about
$4,000, 900 or equal to IL per cent of the
preferred stoc k of the road. These i'm
provements are of a character not u.s.
ually charged to the operating account,
81 if any kinds of dividends at all are
now declared, we feel more than sure of
them when the actual value of the road
and its earning capacity are thus in
creased to the extent of these improve
ments, which are now being paid for
out of the earnings"
