Mnsculine Devotion.

Among the Arabs of upper Egypt the
youth who proposes to girl must sub
nit to whipping at the hands of all
her male relatives, and, says dry
narrator, III he wishes to be consider
ed worth having he must receive the
chatlsement. which Is sometimes eS-
ceedlngly severe. with an expression
of enjoyment"
Not infrequently II Is the maiden her
self who imposes the test The Saka-
lava girls of Madagascar make their
lovers stand at short distance from n
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 II there be
no flinching and the spears are caught

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 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 murmur wins the bride.

says of the natives on the river Darling
that all their ideas of fighting are as
socinted 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 matter of course, to the
victors." None but the brave deserve

A Zulu chief, when you enter his how

and seems quite unconscious Of your
presence. At length he says in a tone
OF grave dignity. "Ge saku bona" q

same way. The longer he takes to ''see

to be, and until you are thus "seen"
you must keep silent and appear as
much as possible not to be there at all.

GAGE IS RIGHT.


The following rule put in force by
Secretary Gage is a good one and
should be inaugurated by the head Of
every municipality in the country. A
Washington special says:
Secretary Gage has inaugurated
one reform which will be welcomed
by trad5smen in Washington and
cause them to revere his memory.
He has ordered treasury department
employees to pay their aebts promptly
and told them that failure to do so
will be followed by dismissal. AS
government clerks receive twice as
much as clerks in commercial life and
really work only six and one-half
hours a day, have thirty days annual
leave and thirty days sick leave and
freedom from work on every legal
honday. it is apparent that the new
Gage rule is well considered.

THE QUESTION OF CUBAN RECIPROCITY.
The Fight May Result in Adding New Star
to the Flag of the United States.

he prefer that course to the one pointed
out in Mr.. Elkin's resolution.
The resolution submitted by Mr..
Newlands provides for the admission OF
Cuban sugars at 25 per cent less than
the Dingley tariff in consideration OF a
reciprocal arrangement on the part OF
Cuba, and invites the Cuban Republic
to become State of the Union, to in
clude such other West Indian islands
belonging to the United States as may
be deemed advisable.
Mr.. Newlands proposes to press sc-
ton on his bill, if the opportunity is af-
forded at this session, in the hope that,
if it can be adopted in its original form
without the reciprocity features. some
step may be taken toward extending the
hand of fellowship to the new republic
and giving it the opportunity of enter
ing the Union if it so desires.
MEANS $25, ,000, 900 YEAR TO CUBA.
By admitting Cuba to the Union
sugar would come in free, which Mr..
Newlands estimates would amount to
a gift of about s25, 900, 900 year to the
Cuban planters, prize we'll worth
striving for. He studied this question
very thoroughly when the reciprocity
bill was before the Ways and Means
Committee and secured uniform ans
wer from witnesses to the effect that
Cuba would welcome political union
with the United States. Speaking of
his resolution Mr.. Newlands said:
"Of course, her admission to State
hood will depend upon the rapidity of
her almagsmation with the views of our
people regarding government and social
and economic questions. No more
glorious prospect can be offered to
Cuba than that of ultimate Statehood
in the Union. Meanwhile, she will SIM
ply go through the probationary period
through which almost all American
States have passed"
