The shah is a migk-y hunter, a good
shot and an enthusiastic sportsman.
Big game is his delight. The king, like
all the sportsmen of his country, uses
n smooth bore and a bullet. A strange
incident of eastern life, but true one,
occurred some years ago at one of
these royal huntings. AS usual, a
couple of regiments accompanied the
shah on his hunting party. The men
acted as beaters. A tiger was wounded,
and was making off under the kings
eyes. The royal second barrel was Ss-
charged, but did not kill the wounded
animal. Fearful of losing his quarry,
the king was relC eling (muzzle-lo leaders
are still! preferred by Persians), when
a private soldier seized the tiger by
the tail and detained him long enough
for the shah to dispatch the animal.
His majesty made that soldier captain
on the SPOT.

HOME FROM MANILA.
ships Conveying Oregon Volunteers
from Philippine Hattiefelds Arrive
at San FrancisCO-A Noisy WeIcOmc.

San Francisco. July 13.-The trans
ports Newport and Ohio, bearing the
Oregon volunteer regiments from Ma
Mia, arrived here last night. The YES
sells were sighted early in the after
noon and soon the shrieking of steam
whistles, the changing of bells and the
firing of cannon announced that the
first batch of returning volunteers
from Manila were nearing the shore
of California; Within Il few minutes
the streets were thronged with people
vending their way to the docks and to
the heights overlooking the bay, in
tent upon catching a glimpse of the
transports as they steamed up the har-
Dor under the escort of score of yes.
sells which had been made ready for
the arrival of the steamers.
The roofs of the warehouses wero
crowded with people and from scores
of flagpoles streamed the stars and
stripes. Steamers, tugs, yachts and
even small row boats were soon max
ing their way toward the Golden Gate.
The reception committee boarded
their tug boats Sea Queen and Cover
nor Irwin and headed for the ocean.
On board the Irwin were the harbor
commissioners. the officials of the ma
tional guard of California and Gov.
Geer. of Oregon, and his staff. On the
Sea Queen were the representatives OF
the press. a band furnished by Mayor
Phelan and many invited guests. The
revenue cutter Golden Gate, bearing
federal officials, was soon under way
and she was joined by the federal
quarantine boat from Angel island.
Then there were boats ut the disposal
If the Red Cross and other societies
and many chartered by private parties.
As the transports slowly steamed
up the harbor the soldiers gathered in
ecited groups on deck and some
climbed into the rigging. where they
shouted and chcered like mad The
band on the Sea Queen played patri-
o4ic airs and the screaming of many
steam sirens created Il pandemonium.
The health officials boarded the ves-
sells. which changed their course to-
ward the quarantine stations, where
the doctors will make a thorough eN-
animation of the men. 1t is yet I'M

position demand his presence at the
crematory early in the morning, and
the sunrise usually finds him at his
post, and in the discharge of his duties
he is model of fidelity.
SIr. Sweet is now so years old. He
was born in New York state, and as
boy worked in his fathers Touring mill.
In 1912 he came to Michigan, built mills
at Ann Arbor, Dexter and Delhi, and
finally in 1916 he came to Grand Rapids,
where he purchased a mill and engaged
In business for himself manufacturing
flour and buying and selling grain. He
made money rapidly, invested in city
real estate, engaged in numbering, was
interested in banking and had model
farm, which he stocked with Holstein
cattle imported direct from the old
country He was active in promoting
agricultural interests and was foremost
in the affairs of the West Michigan and
of the State Fair associations. He was
one of the organizers of what is now
the old National bank, and ten years
ago held 100000 stock in that institu-
ton and had been it's president from
the start. In 1860 he was elected mayor
of the city but it was his only partici-
patton in political affairs.
What became of the substantial for
tune which years of shrewd manage
ment and hard work had accumulated
cannot be explained even by Mr.. Sweet
himself. 1t is certain, however that
the good luck which had been his con-
slant attendant for half a century sud-
denly deserted him, and every venture
he went into proved a new disaster.
He was the chief promoter of what was
known as the Lowell & Hastings rail-
road, and lost money in it. He engaged
In furniture manufacturing and it
proved a failure. He was interested in
various other enterprises and was in
dorser for various relatives in business
deals, and losses sustained fell upon
him. The crash came about five years
ago, and the bank and other preferred
creditors took all the property he had
left, and even this came far from salts
flying the debts that were outstanding
against him.

The early Tongans were the Phoeni-
clans of Southern Polynesia, being the
greatest of savage navigators.
The Fijians, whom Prof. Agassiz and
his party will visit after leaving Tonga,
are great catchers of marine turtles,
whose skulls they hang up in their
temple as offerings. They prize whales
teeth beyond everything, the chiefs
wearing ponderous necklaces of them.
In the department of state at Wash
ington, by the way, is the tooth of a
whale, which was sent to the United
States as a treaty a number of years
ago by n king of Fiji.
The natives of Fiji nowadays practice
sannibalism only occasionally and on
the sly, but in former times they were
habtual man-eaters. They ate pris-
oners of war as matter of course, and
certain weaker tribes on neighboring
islands were compelled to supply
stated number of human victims period

being used at such grisly banquets

SOUTH SEA NATIVES.
To Be Studied by Anthropoiogists
from the United States.
Uncle Sam Deeply Interested In His
Ex-Cnnnibal Seighbors In the
Pacific IsIands-Tribcs to
De Visited.

The United States steamer Albatrses,
on her scientific trip to the South seas,
will take along one or more anthropolo-
gists, who will make special study
of the queer and little known peoples
which inhabit various groups in Poly
nesia. a first landing will be made at
Tahiti, in the Society islands, where,
partly by reason of the extreme fertility
of the soil. which furnishes Il subsist-
ence without labor, the inha are
idle and dissolute. They hatten their
noses, and bore hole through the mid
die partition of that feature to accom-
modate ornaments of flowers or feath-
ers. Their ears are bored also, and the
teeth of sharks and of human beings
are inserted. Chiefs are distinguished
by large circular markings in tattoo
over the whole body, while common
folks are tattocd only about the loins.
Another queer custom requires all
women, except those of the royal fam
lily. to cut their hair off short.
All over Polynesia the practice of in
fanticide is quite general, but in Tahiti
it is particularly prevalent, young chill
dren being commonly strangled. Some
mothers on the island are known to
have done away with as many as ten
of their children in this manner. Pigs,
on the other hand, are greatly pam
pered. They are stuffed like capons
with bread-fruit dough, and are slaugh
tered at festivals. Weapons made for
mdable by the attachment of sharks
teeth are used by the natives, while
small instruments of similar descrip-
tion have been customarily employed

The Most Austere Order of Nuns
Now in Existence.
women Who Have Vowed n Life ST.
lence-Ap Incident showing the
Relentless severity OF Their
Penitentinl Rules.

An article in the Wide Wide World
Magazine tells of the strapgest and
most austere order of nuns in the world,
who dwell far down in the southwestern
corner of France, on the borders of
Spain, and under the shadow of the
Pyrenees. These are the Bernardines
of Anglet, sisters of St. Bernard, the
almost incredible severity of whose rule
most resembles that of the famous
Trappist monks. Indeed, they appear
even more meritorious when one re-
members that weak women cannot bear
the same hardships or sutferings that
men can. These devoted nuns abandon
themselves to life of solitude and take
Il VOW of perpetual silence, which every
one must allow is far more praiseworthy
in n woman than in one of the sterner
sex. The only occasion on which the
nuns open their lips to speak is when
they join in the prayers. If it were
not for this they would probably almost
forget how to talk,
Over their heads, and arranged so as
almost to conceal their faces, they wear
long black woolen hoods, which are
rendered the more striking by the great
white crosses that are affixed to the
backs. Each nun wears rough wooden
sabots, and round her neck chain, to
which is attached a large cross. There
il little of the appearance OF the or
binary nun about their attire.
1t was the Able Cestac, sanity
priest of BayoHne, who founded the
convent at Anglet in 1889 At first, ow-
ing TO lack of funds, the nuns went
through every sort of suffering, often
having absolutely nothing to eat and
no prospect of obtaining anything.
However, by sheer pluck and hard work
these courageous women overcame
every difficulty, and now, although they

are not rich, they can at least provide
themselves with the necessaries of life.
Their needs, after all, are very small.
They fast constantly, and when they do
eat, their food consists of vegetables,
dry bread, and, three times week, a
little-a very little-meat. The refec-
tory is a long, narrow, whitewashed
room with a thatched roof and no ar
titicial flooring, merely the deep sand
OF the dunes, which, however, provides
the most comfortable of carpets. Each
nun has her earthenware pitcher of
water and little drawer in the rough
deal table where she keeps her wooder
spoon, fork and platter. On Fridays
the Bernardines take their meals kneel-
ing on the sand. At the appointed hour
they make their way in single file to the
refectory.
Every hour of the day is carefully
mapped out, for the rules OF the order
insist that not a moment shall be vast
ed. There are constant prayers Un
every occasion. Each time the big clock
of the monastery chimes the hour every
nun falls on her knees and spends a few
moments in prayer. Out in the fields it
is marvellous to see how wes the oxen
know those chimes. Directly they hear
them they stop instinctively, starting
on their way again the instant the Sis
tors rise from their knees.
The cemetery is as austere-looking
as the rest of the nunnery. The graves
are the simplest little sandy mounds,
L,,I OH IN,
pathetic way, with d rude cross traced
in cockleshells upon them. At the
head of each is little bush, while frs
and gloomy cypress trees are dotted
around. Here the nuns spend much of
their time, praying for the souls Of the
dead, sometimes at the grave of the
Able Cestac's father, Il holy man who
is buried here; and sometimes in the
tiny thatched chapCa which they have
erected.
Perhaps the following story win H.
lustrate better than any mere descrip-
tion how minutely the penitential rulea
of this extraordinary order are obeyed.
Two Bernardines lived side by side for
five years in two adjoining cells, and
so thin a partition divided them that
they could even hear the sound of each
others breathing. All this time they
ate at the same table and prayed in the
same chapel. At last one of them died,
and according to the rule of the order,
the dead nun was laid in the chapel, her
face uncovered, and the Bernardines
filed past throwing holy water upon the
remains as they went. When it came

dead nuns face than she gave a pierre

She had just recognized her dearest
friend in the world, from whom she
had parted with the deepest pain many
years before to enter the convent For
FIVE years the two friends had lived side
by side without ever having seen each
Others face or heard the sound of oDa
