In New Guinea the village of Tupu-
selei is most remarkable. The houses
are all supported on piles and stand
out in the ocean a considerable dis
tance from shore. This is to protect
the villagers from the attacks of the
dreaded head hunters, always looking
out for victims. Other villages in this
queer land are perched up in trees for
the same reason

A pAcHELoR,s HONEYMOON

There is lots of genuine and spontaneous
fun in Stapletons' farce "A Bachelors
Hsneymoon,'' which is billed for Monday,
January O. matinee and night at Sweeney
& Coombs opera house. so the public should
start prepared to laugh.
The Detroit Evening News said at was
q nice lively honeymoon that Mr.. Bach
elor experienced. and the people who were
present last night seemed 10 enjoy 1t al
most as much as II 1t had been their own. -
Mr.. Stapleton has evolved q whimsical
story, with complications galore. and in
the hansis OF the clever people who now
play it, 1t would make a stole laugh, There
were not many stoics In last nights audi
enee and the merit became hilarious as the
comedy progressed. One man nearly fell
INTO the aisle In a tit OF laughter, and the
blonde haired lady with the red plush waist
ruined her gloves in her enthusiasm.
Uni Ike most stage pieces the last act Is
best in "A Bachelors Honeymoon" and the
moved announcement comes as unexpectedly
that its effectiveness is pot consumed In
anticipation.

THE GR,prE AND SULPHUR.

MI
the Use of sulphur.
| In my daily papers OF December ~
| find that ;here are supposed 20 be eon'e-
thing like 100000 cages of grip IN New

other cities, and Is now threatening Bos-
| ton. 1t il, a fact Tint when 1t was prevail

| of my officers at "Byam's Match factory
| that of the forty three persons employed

| 1 have at various times tod the press
how many at memphis, Tenn, (lnclualng

wearing powered sulphur in tt.eir sl,es--'
aso the evidence OF IA distinguished Ger
nan medical writer translated into Eng

has. proved complete protection against
cholera aud other epidemic diseases--filso
that those working in the suIpnur mines
OF Italy escape the malaria which pro-
walls all anout them--aisG that sulphur in

natism-also that sulphur taken inter-
nully OF worn in the shoes has sufficient

| find In the London Lancet that no less
authority than THE president of the lnsti-
tute OF Civil Engineers of London declares
thai the sulphurols vapor produced by
the combustion OF coal in that city kills
the disease germs In the atmosphere.
1t seems to be duty, at this time. 10
again suggest as widely as possible through
my own paper and others that sulphur Is
very cheap. and whether 1t destroys or
keeps out germs of disease from the body
or only acts upon the imagination. 1t can
not do much harm 10 try It,
In the Sect county lMiss.ssippD Regis

count of how the agents of the Howard

In each shoe or stocking is considered to
lie sufficient,
AS OH. readers know. we did our best
last spring to put these facts flor the pro-
lection of our sold!ers) Before our army
and navy officials at Washington.
We do not know whether anything waa
dc ne about the matters Gy our mcdscai Of
licers there. but we have received letters
ticm army officers and men thar nth sui
phur In the shoes they had no ievers, and
also found the sulphur complete protec-
sion against ileas. On this same December
