Mnrrind Win q Bump.

The marriage customs of the Negulos are peculiar. The young man who seeks q bride first obtains the favor Of her parents and then pursues her. catching her In his arms. She breaks loose and runs and does not yield until he has caught her several times. Final ly he leads her In triumph to her home. Here her father drags the youth up . ladder to her floor of their hut The mother drags up the maiden. They are then made to kneel, and the fa- ther pours over them a cocoanut she'll ful of water. He then bumps their heads together. and the ceremony Is completed. They spend their honey moon In the depths of the mountains and for i've days and nights are lost to sight. after which they con0 back to everyday life.
 There Is another marriage custom which Is worth describing. Instead of the youth and maiden being dragged up the hut ladder they are made to climb two saplings that grow near each other. Then an elder of the group grasps the sapllngs and draws them together until the heads of the young couple touch, with kiss or a bump. according to the force used. This makes them man and wlfe.-Forum.

An Englishman of rank and money visited Chicago recently ard with him came his private secretary, a young. fresh faced, jolly fellow just out of oxford university. The secretary brought letters of introduction to a Chicago man from a well known Lon don actor and an equally prominent man of letters. The Englishman cano direct to Chicago, making no stop In New York. The secretary called upon the Chicago man to whom he had let ters and who did llthe entertaining. Inviting three city friends to meet the private secretary at luncheon at not. ed restaurant.
 It was after the cigars were lighted that tho conversation turned upon things American. The Chicagoans knew that the Britons were credited with believing that they could shoot buffaloes under the shade of the Audi torlum and shoot grizzlies along the Shokle. but they were not quite pre- pared for what was to come. The It. tie luncheon party had been waited upon by a coal black negro with crisp hair curled tight to his head. The sec retary throughout the repast had eyed the attendant with interest. When the waiter finally had left tho room, the English guest turned to his host and said:

Judge Charles Sumner JOhn- son Tenders His Resignation
TO PRACTICE LAW
Nome GoId FieIas Prove nore AI- turing than High Judicial Pos .Ition-A oreat Surprise.

Judge Charles Sumner Johnson, Of The United States district court fOT Alaska, has filed his resignation. and lt Is said will en' gige In the practice of law at Nome City. The resignation was filed h Washington City. December 9th.
 In commenting upon the action Of Judge Johnson, the PoSt-lntelligencer of Deem Der sth says;
 No bit of Alaska political news Of re- cent date has set more tongues to wagging than the annot neement made in yeSter- days PoSt.Intelllgeneer of lhe resignation Of the Hon. C. s. Johnson, United States dIStri;t judge for the district of Alaska. lt came as a great surprise to Judge John sons many friends in this city, and will be read with even greater interest in Alas ka. Not even h Juneau, his home, Is the fact of Judge JohnSon'S resignation known Co more than two or three men, and will not be until the PoSt-lntellgeneer reaches Juneau.
 But that which the polit.eiIns are par tieularly interested in, now that |, is kaown that the resignation has been hand ei In, Is the name of a successor to the r,' ring offieisl. lt may be that this has al- reaiv been determined, for lt appears tl.aI lhs resignation has been In Washington al

 No .one seems to know what Jucg johnson will do in the future. but the gen ral impression Is that he Is to engage ir he practice of law at Nome City. C'p jr.en. of G,lovIn bay, Alaska, stated
 eSisrjay that he had heard that Juig' Johnson had arranged to enter Into a law partnership with Judge Kenneth M J ,ck- ,on and N. P. R. Hatch al Nome City."

 The features are developed by the mind. A child that Is reared amid pleasant surroundings and whose mind Is filled with pleasant thoughts, will have a pleasing face. The shape of the nose and chin will depend entirely upon the strength and character of the mental faculties.
 At 10 boys nose may be small and turned up at the end. at l5 lt may have grown larger and be straight and at 20 it may be pronounced Roman. lt all de- bends upon his mind.
 The Romans had big noses with high bridges because they were a steaGy and determined race of people. Sturdi' ness and determination will give man a Roman nose, no matter how little or how snubby his proboscls may have been when he was born. The Greeks had straight delicate. finely chiseled noses because their tastes are artistic and poetic. You never saw a poet or an artist wlth Roman or snub nose. aid your

Yet lt Is quite safe to say that lt we could have DOT traits of all these personages, taken In infancy. we would find their olfactory organs little pudgy affairs, Ike those of the common run of babies.
