EARTH'S DISTANT CORNERS.

There are about so distinct tribes
among the natives of the Philippines.

A custom peculiar to Buddhists is
that of wandering about the country
with hammer and chiesel, and carving
holy symbols upon rocks by the way
side.

characteristic of Japan has lost much

social standing and have even advanced

cellent code that it is almost as efficient

The young people in Tahiti have a
custom of conversing with flowers,
similar to that of the orientals. If an
engaged couple have quarreled the girl
will separate the flower partially
down the center-one-half is intended
to represent the man, the other half
the woman-and it is meant to imply
that, though separate bodies, they are
Joined together at the heart. If the
lover takes the flower and puts it in his
hair it is sign that he wishes to make
it up. if he tears it asunder it is token
that he has lost his love for her and
wishes to be entirely separated.
