Ill certain arts, as New York's
new collection testifiss. Some years
ago the museum had a collection o.
ancient stone implements, but the
treasures secured since the island
came into our possession complete
and round out that collection.
The stone objects were probably
made by the ancestors of the CARDS.
They differ greatly in fineness of nm
ish. polish and artistic form from
stone objects found in other places.
The use of many of these objects is
unknown. There was no written I'm
guage on the is and before It's discov-
cry. and the millions of Caribs and
Arawaks who lived in the West Indies
have since vanished. There has not
been a single full-blood descendant OF
these people living in the region dur
ing the last half century. The names
of places preserve a few OF their
words. But there is no tradition about
the stone objects.
Strange Relics of Stone Age.
Among these specimens of the stone
age are many peculiar rings or ovals
of stone resembling horse collars in
size and shape. Some weigh twenty
pounds, others seventy, and they are
found as deep in the ground as nine
feet. Many are strangely and beauti-
fully carved. Some of these resemble
coil or loop, with one end projecting
beyond the coil where It seems to be
tied.
Such fine stone carvings must have
been intended for serious and import
ant use, possibly religious, as religion
above all other powers has led man
to execute dlfficult and permanent
work. They could not be collars to
be worn for punishment. as too much
art is lavished upon them. but they
may have served In religious sacri-
fees.
Mystery of the Rings Unsoived.
The mystery which surrounds these
curious stones Is not yet solved. al
though over forty years ago the sa-
wants of Copenhagen, London and
Paris were struggling with the prob
lem, having but few specimens. In
1873 Ortey Tapia of Porto Rice
brought some to New York. We now
have many of them in the Museum o.
Natural History. The mystery o.
their use remains unsoived.
But there are other interesting
forms. One resembles the lower hal

TO REFORM MARRIAGE CUSTOMS
The Mexican government has just
begun task of tremendous proper.
lions and Of an exceedingly delicate
nature, that of suppressing the prac.
tice of polygamy and of promoting
marriages. In many parts of the Re-
public there is little or no observance
of the laws relating to plural mar
riages and in some districts there is
practically no such thing as the mari
tai tie. For some time the authorities
have been investigating domestic re-
lations in the smaller pueblos and
settlements and they have discovered
state of affairs that is appalling.
The recent taking of the census in
particular served to bring to light
many instances where the natives in
the mountainous regions lived more
like animals than human beings. In
some of the pueblos there has not
been marriage in years. In the min
ing camps of southern Chihuahua, not
more than 200 miles from the city of
q
where, in the twelve families compos-
ing the population, there had been no
marriage from the oldest generation
to the youngest. Neither had kinship
been regarded and families had inter-
married until the people showed
marked signs of degeneration. This
settlement, known as San Felixo, is
reputed to be the most lawless in the
State of Chihuahua and nearly all the
serious crimes in the region can be
traced to this pueblo. The efforts Of
the Catholic priests toward correcting
this condition of affairs in San Felixo
and In many other places have been
unavailing. So isolated are many of
the settlements that communication
with the outer world is difficult-and
infrequent. President Diaz is person
ally interested in the reform move
ment and it is at his earnest request
taken to check the evil practices. Not
alone in Mexico do these evils exist.
Across the line in the Mexican colo
MES in southern Arizona similar con-
ditions are to be found and the au-
thorities of this territory are just
to the fact Territorial Of
ficials are making wholesale arrests
and forced marriages. One Of the
largest colonies, where marriage is not
generally practiced, is near the town
Of Tempe, only few miles from
Phoenix. Last week officers raided the |
villages and since then fifty marriages
have taken place among the inhabi-
tants of the village.

MORGAN AND GAMBLERS.

Mr.. J. Pierpont Morgan, leading cit
izen Of the world, crossed the ocean.
Two professional gamblers on the
boat gave modest imitation of big
financial deals.
They played with the other passen-
gers-but not with Mr.. Morgan. Mr..
Morgan sat down, took one look at the
small professional gamblers, and was
Mortified to discover that these gentle
men had arranged what is known as a
sure thing"
The gamblers could NOT lose, the
passengers were BOUND to lose.
The two professionals, of course, did
not get eleven hundred million dol
lars, or even one million. But they
did get twenty-five hundred dollars
Mr.. Morgan denounced them to the
other passengers and they were COM
PEELED to give back the money.
Honor to ]. Pierpont Morgan for his
quickness of sight and promptness of
action. We thank him, on behalf of
great public. for having thwarted
wicked attempt.
We hope the two professional gam
blers will never be so impertinent as
to walk down to the corner of Wall
and Broad streets, in New York, where
Mr. Morgan has HIS Office, and give
their opinion of the game that is
played there.
We learn with considerable indigna-
ton that when the gamblers were ex-
posed they alleged that there was an
element Of humor in their being ex-
posed by Mr.. Morgan.
There was nothing humorous about
it. There is an enormous difference
between selling for eleven hundred
millions something that you never
owned and working the insidious ace
from the bottom of the pack into your
own hand.

DEMoRALlzlNo THE ARMY.

The revelations of corruption at Ma
Mia are peculiarly painful, because
they involve SO many army officers.
We are accustomed to dishonest poll
ticians, but our army and navy, as a
rule, have been morally clean.
They have been so, of course, be-
cause the atmosphere Of the service
has tended to keep them so. Army
and navy officers are not made of any
special clay-they are simply the pro-
ducts of their training and associa
lions. The environment that braces
naturally weak character is hard to
build up and easy to break down. 1t
took only year or two after the Res
toration to destroy the moral tone that
Cromwell had created in the English
army. Prussian officers were said to
be models of austere honesty at the
time of the Franco-German war; now
the German army is honeycombed with
corruption.
The American army hitherto has
been small. Its officers could all have
been accommodated in single club of
moderate size. They have grown up
together, like one great family, and
the opinion of their order has been a
regulating force of tremendous power.
Besides, they have been among a huge
civilian population, always jealous of a
standing army, and they have felt con-
tinually under obligations to be on
their good behavior.
But now all these old safeguards
have been relaxed The army has been
tripled In size. 1t has been scattered
over half the circumference of the
earth. 1t has been diluted with civil
ian officers, bringing into it the tradi-
lions Of the stock pit the real estate
market and the law courts. Above ALL
it has been set down among subject
peoples whose public opinion could be
ignored, and it has been allowed to
suppress the publicity that might have
checked transgressions.
When an officer in this country-say
Captain Carter-is accused of irregu-
larities, he has to disprove the charges.
When Editor Rice brought such ac-
cusations in Manila he was brought |
before Colonel Crowder. and according
to his account this colloquy ensued:
Crowder-Don't you think you are
wrong in this matter.
Rice-No, Gr. -

PICTURES IN THE HOME.

When we enter home, among the
first things to attract our attention are
the pictures, and from them we can
read the taste-or lack of it-of the
lady of the house, for they give us the
keynote to her character. If we find
gaudy chromos, and cheap oil paint
ings made by lightning artists" we
know at once that refinement is lack
ing in that home. Pictures should be
selected always with an eye to the
surroundings in which they will be
placed, says the Woman's Home Com
panion. II the house is very large and
handsome, and money of no considera-
ton, then, of course, oil paintings by
the best artists are preferable People
of moderate incomes who wish taste
full homes should choose water colOrs.
engravings or etchings II they can be
afforded. Artists signed proofs are
most desirable, but no better than
good copies, with the exception of the
signature, which is supposed to add
value.
