SOUTH SEA MAIDENS.
They Are Kept Close Prisoners I'm
Ugly Wicker Cages Until They
Become brides.

There are no breach of promise suits
on the island of New Britain, in the
South sea, says New York exchange.
The natives, in their simple Polynesian
way, have solved the problem that wor-
ries so many American mothers of
young daughters, and the maidens of
the island never get into bad company
or entanglements of any sort up to the
day of their marriage.
These natives are simple sort of
folk, if simplicity can be used in con-
nection with "a people that renounced
cannibalism only within the last Is
years. They are of dark brown color,
of medium height, and they would
rather eat than fight. 1t was not so
long ago that feast followed every
fight on the island, and the edibles were
the roasted or fricasseed bodies of the
worsted combatants in the battle. But
now the tribes no longer make war on
one another. Instead, they loaf and
eat and do as little work as they can.
Their ideas of morality could be given
In a very short chapter-almost as
short as the famous one about snakes
in Ireland-but they are great stick
lers for their complicated and peculiar
marriage customs.
There are two classes, and a man may
not marry out of his class. Girls be-
come wives at II or 12 years of age,
and their wedding is literally their
Coming out party"
From the age of one year to the date
of their marriage these poor little
maidens are kept in wicker cages in
side the small thatched huts. They are
as much prisoners as any unfortunate
criminal behind prison bars. The
cages. to be sure, are light and airy, and
the occupant is able to see all that is
going on in the free world outside. But
they can't come out and play" and all
the pleasures of childhood-even a
South sea childhood-are denied them.
This is not such hardship as it
would seem at first consideration, be-

portant as the railway systems, the
statement being made by them, and be-
Ing easily understood, that there is not
an ounce OF any commodity hauled over
the railroads that is not first transport
ed by wagons over country roads or
city streets. 1t does not matter il the
commodity is manufactured articles
that are loaded on cars at the factory;
the raw material has first to bc hauled
to the factory. But the greatest haul
ing is done in the farming districts and
there it is that good highways are most
needed.
The subject has not been given the
attention and support it deserves, as
yet, for the simple reason that private
capital cannot become interested in the
building of common roads since there
would be no income from the invest
ment such as there is in railways.
Municipal, county, state and the ma
tonal government have not had the is
sue brought directly before them in its
full significance because it is necessary
to first educate the people to the ncces-
sites of the movement. This is what is
being done by the wheelmen at the
present time, and it must be said TO
their credit that they have enlisted the
sympathy and support of all the prom
inent farmers organizations in the
movement. With the two classes work
ing together it is only a question of
time until the movement will be made a
political issue and then will come the
desired improvements.
The argument offered in favor of the
improved roads is, that they lessen The
cost of repairs, make it possible to haul
the largest amount of goods with the
smallest animal power, save time and
increase property valuations. No rail
road company would expect to do busi
ness if its tracks and roadbeds were in
such condition as to make it either inn
possible to use the tracks at long sea-
sons of the year, or in using them have
to lose Il great dead of time and have i'm
mense repairs to make; and yet that is
what the farmers and others using the
common roads are doing in a compara-
tive way every day in the year.
They make the most impracticable
attempts at road building and repair
ing. and then wonder why there is no
profit in their products, which have
been hauled over bad roads at the great
est expense. 1t has been estimated that
in the states where the stone roads have
been built the cost of transporta.
ton has been decreased to 20 per cent.
of the former figures, and that he
roads pay for themselves within few
years. 1t has been further shown that
the amount lost in the different ways
mentioned will more than pay for the
building and repairs of these roads on
the annual assessments made for theSa
or that it costs no more each year to
have good roads than it does to have
bad ones.

THEIRS IS A HARD LOT.

cause the little ones are immured in
their cages at such an early age that
they grow up without thinking to rebel
against their enforced captivity.
Once a day only are they taken from
their cages to be washed. Food is given
them through the interstices, which
are plenty large enough to admit the
little fresh air that gains entrance to
the low cabins. The girls grow fat and
healthy on this sort of life, and these
are doubtless the qualities deemed
most desirable in South sea wife.
But to an American it seems almost in
comprehensive that a people living
almost altogether out of doors in an
equatorial climate should so bring up
their young females.
Still, the plan has its advantages.
There is no fear of the frisky madens
staying out too late at night, nor need
their parents be alarmed lest the daugh-
ters get into bad company. When the
ardent young man finds a girl whom
he would like to make his wife he is
compelled to do his wooing through the
bars. Papas chairs are never broken
because of having to carry double
weight, and all the counting is neces-
sarily done in the daytime. AS a CON
sequence, when the young girl leaves
her cage to become n wife, the husband
is possessed of none of those harassing
doubts that come with higher civiliza-
ton. And they make good wives, too,
and are ready, should the fates bring
them daughters, to keep them close
within the same cages.
Still, the South sea girls of to-day are
luckier than those of 80 years ago.
They were not brought up ut all then,
but simply killed at birth, and the
young men of the tribe went to neigh
boring islands for wives. So the march
Of civilization has the island of New
Britain in its path after all.

TO IRON TABLE LINEN.
There Is an Art in Giving 1t Lustef
and the Smoothncss Admired
by HouscI<cepcrs.

Linen by good rights should be dried
only enough to make it possible to iron
it well. 1t is well-nigh impossible to
iron out wrinkles that have once dried
in; even with good sprinkling this is
a difficult task to do, as anyone may
l.y.uw who has tried it. After the linen
IS washed and rinsed until quite clean,
then let it hang in the sun if possible
until just dry enough to iron nicely.
Have the iron hot; luke-warm iron
will not do. Fold the cloth lengthwise,
if at all, for the first pressing; press
hard and iron smoothly, until the linen
is quite dry; unless it is perfectly dry
it will not have that luster and bril-
lance that all well-ironed linen has.
Fold the cloth lengthwise until it is
narrow enough to suit the taste, and
then crosswise folding is allowable.
The only points to be observed are
these: Iron the linen before it is dry
and iron it until it is perfectly dry.
This will insure perfect work.
Avoid starch in linen as you would
upon silk or such fabrics. 1t is en-.
tirely out of place.
Table linen should be ironed in the
same way as tablecloths, and all fancy
foldings avoided. Sometimes in hotels
fancy foldings are used, but for the
home table let the napkins be folded
in plain squares and be ironed perfect
ly that their gloss will be an attractive
feature of the table decorations.

BruSSing EHRroyes the Hair

The very best brushes should always
