The Little God Wins Out on the Teachers
Transport "Thonas."

The Little God Wins out on the Teachers
Transport "Thomas."
Samuel b. BOtsford has Just received
from one CT his friends, a member of the
party of American teachers going to the
philippines, copy of The Briny Budget,
or lie Thomas Cat, paper published by
number of the teachers on board the
transport Thomas. The paper is Vol, |,
No. l, dated Honolulu, Thursday,
Aug. !.
This is quite an interesting paper, filed
with stories of the trip and hits on differ
ent members of the party. 1t is quite
funny paper and well worth the reading.
We gather from its contents that love-
making helped many to pass away the
time and several marriages would take
place when the transport reached Homo
lulu, as dispatches from that Island have
stated.
There Is directory of all the teachers
on board. New York and California are
the states to furnish the most teachers,
although the New England states are
well represented. Connecticut has D.,
Maine, 20; New Hampshire. 2; Massa-
chusetts, 80; Rhode Island, 2, and Yer
mont, s. Those making up the Vermont
party are f. j. Bailey of Wells River,
w. a. Buck of St. Adams, E. II. Buttles
of Brandon, F. L. Hayford of st. Johns
bury, Miss f. G.. Parker Of West Rut-
land, B. l.. Stafford of Tinmouth, Z. +
Webster of Barton and G. w. FELTON, of
Burlington.
We have been Informed that many of
these teachers, who are allowed the ex-
penses Of one person each dependent Of
them for support who had a sweetheart,
hurried up and got married before sail
ing. so that there were quite a number OF
newly married couples on board and the
single men had to keep on a sharp look.
out or they would be making love to
some other fellows wife.
We gather from the contents of the
paper that it was merry crowd. Many
state organizations were formed, and
members of various fraternal societies
formed organizations. Members of the
Masons of which there were 10 and the
Eastern Star of which there were /
formed social organization.
Another paper is to be published when
the party reaches Manila. The paper
sells for 10 cents.-Nergennes Nermon,er.

LOVE AMONG SAVAGES.
Ability to Stand Torture n Test of
Masculine Devotion.

Among the Arabs of upper Egypt the
youth who proposes to girl must sub
NIT to a whipping at the hands of all
her male relatives, and, says dry
narrator "if he wishes to be consider
ed worth having he must receive the
chatisement, which is sometimes ex-
ceedingly severe, with an expression
of enjoyment"
Not infrequently it is the maiden her
self who imposes the test. The Saka-
lava girls of Madagascar make their
lovers stand at a short distance from a
clever spear thrower and catch be-
tween the arm and side every weapon
flung at them. If the youth displays
fear or fails to catch the spear, he is
ANONYMOUSLY rejected, but if there be
no flinching and the spears are caught
he is at once proclaimed an accepted
lover"
Worse than this is the trial enforced
upon their suitors by the Dongolowee
girls. When in doubt as to the respec-
tive merits of two rivals, the young la
dy fastens a sharply pointed knife to
each elbow; then, seating herself be-
tween her lovers, she drives the blades
slowly into their thighs, and the hero
who takes the greatest length of steel
without a murmur wins the bride.
Major Mitchell in his Expeditions
Into the Interior Of Eastern Australia"
says of the natives on the river Darling
that all their ideas of fighting are as
ISOLATED with the possession of gins or
wives and that after battle the wives
do not always follow their fugitive
husbands from the field, but frequently
go over, as a matter of course. to the
victors" "None but the brave deserve
the fair" is maxim we'll understood
of most barbarc races. - Chambers

BIBLE FOR GOOD ROADS.
Commanded That Valleys De Exalte d
and Mountains Lowered.

Speaking at Il good roads meeting at
Grenada, Miss, the Rev. w. \. Ham
lett said
1.-THE subject of good roads, now be-
ing agitated, Is worthy the profoundest
consideration. The necessity of such
improvement Is SO potent that he who
would oppose 1t would only advertise
his stand against progress. This mat
ter of good roads improvement is not
without its precedent, both ancicntly
and scripturally. We, in this modern
age of energy and invention, are rather
inclined to scott at the people whose
existence is but dim historic memory.
Nevertheless, on the subject of i'm
proved, well kept highways, we may
well sit at their feet and learn. y
mere glance at Rome teaches US that.
"What would Rome's senators or
lcgions of war have done for the City
of Seven III lis had it not been for her
splendid system of good roads? Hav-
ing conquered an outlying province. she
linked it to herself 10y one of her en-
durable highways. over which social
and commercial communication wars
established or over which an army
could march with ease in time of re-
bellions. Today traces Of these roads
still exist, and, having endured the
ravagcs OF weather and time. they re-
main 10 remind us of that principle Of
Rome worthy of imitation by any ma
ton. Rome would never have been
what she was had it not been for her
roadways \ system OF good roads
makes a good city or nation. This is
automatic.
Moreover, Scripture uses this prin-
ciple as figure: When the Almighty,
through prophecy, had promised Say
Jour, he likened him to a king who
was about to visit his people and in
honor of whom the highway should
be put in perfect order. Prepare We
the way Of tie Lord; make straight in
the desert a highway for our God.
Every valley shall be exalted, and every
mountain and hill shall be made low
isaiah xl 81. Even SO there is another
king, though an uncrowned one. who
wishes to visit our cities, but who is
hindered by the unsatisfactory con-
dition of our roads. If lie comes, he
will bring plenty with him. l refer to
his majesty the farmer. He can exist
in his Independent way without the
cities but the cities can't exist without
him. Prepare your highways, exalt the
valleys, bring low the hills. and let this
king come in. Citizens. build good
roads"

PRESIDENTS PARTY

M'kINLEY'S TRAIN YESTERDAY
TRAVERSED THE SANTA CLARA
VALLEY TO SAN LIS ORISPO

SAN LUIS OBISPO, Cal, May 10.-The
route of the presidents train northward
from Los Angeles today lay through the
Canta Clara valley to the coast where
1t ran for hours along the edge Of cliffs
oNerhahging the Pacific ocean. At every
stopping place today there was a flower
show rivaling in beauty the floral pa
rade which the president witnessed yes
terday at Los Angles. At Ventura and
santa Barbara the president was simply
overwhelmed with flowers. The carriage
in which he rode was lined with them
and the streets over which he pass d
were paved with them. There was no
abatement today of the enthusiasm
which has attended the presidents prog
ress since he entered California. A drive
through the city was in each case the
principal feature at the places where the
president stopped today. He was very
much interested in the old Spanish mis-
slons with historic relics, which he Wis
tied at both Ventura and at Santa Bar
para. San Luis Obispo was the last stop
OF the day. 1t was reached at o'clock
inns evening, in time for a drive through
the town After crossing the mountain
range the train will drop town to Del
Monte ON the bay Of Monterey, where
the party will remain tomorrow and Sun
Gay. The programme tomorrow will in
clude visit to the national encamp-
ment during the afternoon. Sunday will
be given up to rest. At Santa Barbara
President Mckinley made the principal
address Of the day.

understanding is being made Russia is
especially interested in the proposal for
a Chinese loan guaranteed by the pow

to each. The view held in some quarters
here is that such a lean, so guaranteed
would not only save China enormous dis
count and interest, but would be the
best possible guarantee of the en- Tres

be considered as security for the loan.
