WOMEN DO THE PROPOSING
In the Islands Of Torres Strait the
Girls Go Counting and Also
Pop the Question.

How would you like to live in a land
where the women have the privilege
to propose not only one year out Of
every four but every year?
In Torres strait, between the north
ern extremity of Australia and the
southern extremity of New Guinea,
there is a labyrinth of small islands
and coral reefs, so complicated and
dangerous. it is said, that Torres, the
original discoverer, required three
months to get through.
These islands are inhabited by a
Melanesian race of the Papuan type
inhabiting New Guinea, among whom
it is not only permissible but obliga-
tory for women to propose. In fact,
Prof. Haddon, who first visited the
islands and made careful study of
the customs of the islands, says that
among them it is considered as bad

ALExANDRA's MANY CATS.
Dogs Have Been Supplanted in the
Affections Of English Queen
and Her Followers.

To all except the favored few who
are on intimate terms with Queen
Alexandra it came as rather a sur
prise when on her arrival in Ireland.
awhile ago, the queen was found to DE
accompanied by a pet cat Heretofore
dog of one breed or another almost in
variably has been numbered among her
travelling companions, and it was
known generally that besides being
fond of bow-wows, she bred them ex-
tensively and was the owner of about
the most luxurious kennels in England;
but she never has been suspected of any
special liking for cats. Now, however,
these animals have almost entirely sup
planted dogs as recipients of the
queens attention. Her kennels were
the royal lady's delight, but when she
discovered that all sorts of folk were
copying her in this direction, she decided
to stop breeding dogs and go in for cats
instead. True to her customary policy
of thoroughness, the queen now has a
small army of the best breeds, and if any
of the royal residences contain mouse
the creature must be veritable DeWet
of it's kind.
The queen has six particular favorites
among her cat family, but valuable
Persian enjoys her special affection.
This is "Sandy"-who is so named be-
cause he first saw the light at Sandring
ham. For several months her majesty
has never travelled without him, and he is
as fondly attached to his royal mistress
as the celebrated Irish terrier Jack"
was to the king in his most affectionate
moments. SANDY" is privileged to dis
port himself in the dining apartments,
though his less fortunate brothers and
sisters have to confine their activities
to the other rooms in the royal dwell
lngs.
Edward VII. hates cats and if he had
his way SANDY" would not long have
the privilege-supposedl reserved for
his kind-of looking at king" but

manded for his "Jack" the. queen now
demands for her pet. If the king has no
love for Sandy" however, the feeling
seems to be fully reciprocated, for the
queens favorite will not come to his
side of the table at any price, and gen

Sandy" as we'll as Monarch" and
"Ossy," the two cats-also Persian
which come next to the favorite in their
mistress affection, sat for their photo
graphs at Buckingham palace recently.
They also have sat at Windsor and
Sandringham to Louis Vain, the great
cat artist, who declares them to be about
the best and most patient sitters he ever
has had. According to the lowest esti-
mate the royal cats now number so. Her
special pets are always in residence
where the queen is for the time being.
They have groom all to themselves:
they have a bath every morning and
their toilet is carefully attended to twice
day. On the slightest sign of illness
the royal wet" is summoned, who
makes a careful diagnosis. and the re-
suit is Immediately communicated to
her majesty. There is specially pre-
pared room called "the cat hospital" in
the stables attached to Buckingham
palace, and here pussy reclines-when
lndisposed-in bed sufficiently luxuri-
Gus for the baby of a marquis. Its tenn
perature is taken and the stethoscope ap-
piled as regularly as if the fate of an
empire were depending on the cats ex-
istence.
For her cats, when in health, the
queen has prescribed diet of fish anG
/, milk, and as she is quite unwilling to
trust the discrimination of the ordinary
London millman asto the quality of the
latter, the royal cats are fed on milk
which comes fresh from Sandringham
every morning, while a fishdealer of re-
pute is intrusted with the supply of the
fish known to be the best for feline con-
sumption. When the queen first took to
cats she knew nothing whatever abou4
their tastes or habits She was also ig-
norant of the points of the different
breeds. but Louis Vain, whom she had
presented to her for the purpose, was
able to convey so much information that
now the queen can discuss cats with the
greatest expert in Europe.
Among other fashionable cat crltiya-
tors may be mentioned Lily, duchess of
Marlborough, the duchess of Wellington
and Viscountess Maitland, each of whom
has more or less elaborate "cattery."
There is a lot of money made out of fan
cy cats Five hundred dollars is no un-
common price to pay for one and some
have fetched as high as 1900 In con-
sequence there are not few women in
English society whose devotion to aris-
Iocratic tables is purely, though for the
most part secretly, pecuniary one.

CARE OF THE FINGER NAILS
Any Girl Who Will Devote a Few Min
utes to Them Daily Can Have
Pretty Hands.

This is the season of the year when
it is more than ever difficult to keep
ones nails in order. Living out of
doors, practicing many sports, works
havoc to the hands, unless a girl is
careful. To go regularly to manicure
is expensive, but with little time and
by simple means it is possible to do
much toward improving the nails, says
the ST. Louis Republic.
The skin at the base is inclined to
grow over them, but that can be easily
prevented. Fill basin with nice hot,
soapy water, and soak your hands in
this for at least ten minutes. By that
time the skin will be soft, and with
blunt stick of orange wood (obtainable

the pretty half moons at the base of
the nail can be seen in all their glory. {

The king of Italy is one of the lead

taste for man to make a proposal
of marriage as it is for woman
among us to propose to man.
On the island of Tud, when boy
grows into manhood, one of the les
sons his parents are careful to teach
him is: 'You no like girl first. II
you do girl laugh and call you wom-
an
The way in which young woman
opens and conducts a courtship with
the man for whom she has taken q
fancy differs widely from the most
approved method adopted by the leap
year girl in America. When the is
land maiden becomes enamored she
sends a piece of string to the sister
Of the man she covets, which is sign
that she loves him. The sister then
says IL her brother: Brother, hava
good news for you. A woman loves
you" He asks who the woman is,
and. if willing to go on with the af-
fair, tells his sister to ask the girl
to keep an appointment with him at
some designated spot. At the appoint
ed time they meet and talk the matter
over. The betrothal often is made at
the first meeting if both parties are
satisfied.
When man and woman begin to
keep company" he is branded on the
back with charcoal, while her mark
is cut into the skin, because she
asked the man." They are expected
to get married, but if they don't. MOTH
ing can be done. If it is the man who
is unwilling he is given sound
thrashing by the girls father and
friends.
After marriage, in spite OF the fact
that the girl did the proposing, she
becomes the property of her husband.
She even is so completely in his pow
er that he can, if she should offend
him. kill her with impunity.

Women as Sailors.

In some coast villages among the
Danes, Norwegians and Films women are
employed as sailors and prove them
selves to be expert mariners. In the
smaller sailing ships, where there is a
woman on board, whether she be the wife
OF the skipper or stewardess, she is ex-
pected to take her turn at the ordinary
work of the sailor, not even excluding
the duties of the man at the wheel or of
the night watch. Denmark employs
several women as state officials at sea.
Experienced captains assert that the
