Courtship In View Guinea.

Courtship in New Guinea Is begun
on very different lines from those of
the Caucasian. 1t is the girl who
takes the initiative instead of the
youth. When a young man falls in
love with a Papuan belle he does not
look at her and whenever possible
shuns her company. If she appears
grieved at such sights the suitor per-
forms various acrobatic feats when
ever he thinks she is watching. He
will leap into the air, stand on his
head or knock down some smaller
youth. Should the girl be fascinated
by these performances she employs a
little girl to carry nut to her lover,
and ON the nut she will paint certain
emblems indicative of her passion. The
nut will also tell where she will meet
him that night. At this trysting place
the two will eat the nut together and
make such arrangements as are nee
essary for the marriage. All the diff
culties of proposing on the European
or American plan are done away with

waiter Couldn't Help Them out

A well known Baltimore society man
was once spending a few days with
his wife at Atlantic City, and In con.
nection with his visit he told the fol
lowing story: When he seated himself
in the dining room on the evening OF
his arrival he discovered that he could
not read the menu, as he had left his
glasses in his room, and his eyes were
useless without them. When he pass
ed it to his wife she exclaimed that
she was in the same predicament. At
loss to know what to do, the gentle
man called the waiter to him and,
pointing to the menu, said:
'tRead that to me and will give you
a dollar"
Quick as fash the waiter replied:

Consumption

Salt pork is a famous old
fashioned remedy for con-
sumption. "Eat plenty of
pork" was the advice to the
consumptive SO and 100
years ago.
Salt pork is good if a man
can stomach it. The idea
behind it is that fat is the
food the consumptive needs
most.

The clerk of court examined the

How much did you have?" he
asked.
About $50" I was going to
get me a new suit and few other
things and put the pocket book in
one of my pockets this morning
when I started into town, and
thought I would come in here and
get the license first.

which he put on his hat and took a

Mr.. Larson scratched his head a
minute in deep thought, then be
burst out:
''You just take that license right
along, young man, and you don I

pie think I'm here for the money

The young fellow took the license,
but he hasn't showed up yet with

concluded to have a minister and

the book itself. The newspaper eX-
ccrpts, to which | next turned. bore a
much later date and read rs follows:
"A strange coincidence marks the
