weed out the weaker organisms and
which operate most unrestralnedly up
on the ignorant savage. For the FIRST
time. perhaps. IN the history OF the
world human beings had been bred and
regulated like valuable stock. with as
much care as Is put upon the best

quence the sanitary condition OF the
negro during slavery was remarkable
especially by contrast with his present
condition. and his growth was the ab.

NIT TO whipping at the hands of all
her male relatives, and, says n dry
narrator, "if he wishes to be consider
ed worth having he must receive the
chatlsement, which is sometimes ex-
ceedlngly severe, with an expression
Of enjoyment"
Not lnfrequently It Is the maiden her
self who imposes the test. The SalSa-
lava girls of Madagascar make their
lovers stand AZ a short distance from a
clever spear thrower and catch bo-
tween the arm and side every weapon
flung at them. If the yoHth displays
fear or fails TO catch the spear, he Is
ANONYMOUSLY rejected, but IL there be
no filnchlng 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 Ia.
dy fastens a sharply pointed knife tC

TROUBLE OVER BOAT TICKETS
Many KOuId-be E1cursiOnists We're Disap-

Considerable excitement prevailed
about the old passenger station Of the
Philadelphia and Reading Railroad
Company, Water and French streets,
yesterday morning. owing to a misun-
derstanding regarding the sale OF
tickets for the steamer Thomas Clyde
on its trip to Woodland Beach.
About 200 persons purchased tickets
for the beach from Local Agent Elmer
e. Townsend, but when the steamer
arrived at the Delaware pier the cap
tain refused TO allow but fifty people
to board the Clyde, as she was loaded
TO her registered carrying capacity.
Those who were left returned TO the
railroad station and demanded the re-
turn OF their money from Agent Town
send. When informed that il was i'm
possible to refund the money at once
the crowd became angry, and IL Wn
necessary to send for police pro.
tion when quiet was restored. 2
people were informed hy Mr.. TcwnSerc
that the company did net intend tc
keep the money, but would return y
this week. after The usual regulations
we're complied with.
Agent Townsend says that the oc.
currsnce was no fault Of the railroad
company, as the Clyde pe1ple shculC
have notified him Of the crowded con
