Divorce In New Guinea.

There Is no need Of divorce courts Ia
New Guinea. When a woman becomes
weary of her husband she simply
leaves him and goes back to her moth.
er. When a husband tires OF his wife
he simply hits her over the head with
a paddle, and IL not killed outright she
Is certainly made to realize that she Is
nc longer wanted. When a divorced"
woman marries again her former hus.
band rallies all his friends and con.
ducts a wal dance in front Of her new
home. This ceremony. however, is not
as ugly as it looks. Its purpose Is not
to kill anybody, but simply to satisfy
the grass widows honor.

stage Ice Cream.

An amusing break" once occurred
In a production Of Camille" at the old
Walnut Street theater in Philadelphia.
In those days sea island cotton was
stage ice cream, just as molasaes and
water was make believe wine-sherry
or port according to the proportion Of
molasses.
Armand and Camille were at table,
where they had been discussing such
viands as these, and their dialogue was
making the finest sort of an impression
on the crowded house. Enter a maid
servant with candelabra of the wab-
bliest sort Imaginable. The scene was
so e~ncrossing that the maid was hard.
~ noticed by the audience, but when
she had set down the candelabra be-
tween the unfortunate Camille and her
lover and M candle toppled over and
set the ice cream in a blaze the nerv-
ous strain upon the house was broken.
and the entire audience burst into a
roar of laughter that brought down tina
curtain. -Harper's Weekly.

Nine. Emma Calve, sometime repre-

Nessdhno and other professional sisters of
the defunct Mrs. Warren, has returned TO
us in the, subdued glores of the concert
platform. She appeared at Carnegie Hall
yesterday afternoon before a large and
devoted assemblage of her adorers. She
doubtless smiled grmly as she thought
how she was having her revenge upon the
autocratic Conried, while he was doubtless
also smiling as he feasted his ewes on the

cheaper and more peaceful opera would
be without the erratic Emma.

COLD BUSINESS AT HOME.

A police court tragedy in a north
ern city, as reported in the papers
recently. revealed the wreck Of a
home. The wife said: Il do not
know whether my husband loves me
or not. He has neglected to tell me
since we were married"
Did you ever meet one Of those
husbands Yho boasts that he is cold
business in all his acts, and that
sentiment is folly, thing all very
we'll for children, but not for grown
ups? He tells you that his home is
run on business basis. There IS
enough to eat and wear; three meals
day and good beds to sleep in. He
boasts about it, because he feels that
he is. in some mysterious way, a
philanthropist.
There is enough to eat and to wear
in the average prison, for that mat
ter.
In few homes does the ardOr OF
the counting period last. There is
much in life besides caresses and
kisses. But the man who is well
mated and who would be happy is
proud to be- his wife's lover through
life. No. he doesn't have to talk
sugary nOthings, or to bill and coo
There are ways Of showing affection
and sympathy and esteem that work
very well into everyday life. You
do not have to advertise the home
where true love abides. 1t shows in
the face Of the wife. in the smiles Of

About the Realm rendered
To the Presidents
Daughter.

The sultan of Sulu, who sought to
pay Miss Roosevelt, her distinguish
ed father and this country, the
greatest honor in his power, is mon
arch of 81 .3S9 Muhamme dan people,
of whom l,27Oira civilized and 3d.
lIg are savages, or wild as the
United States census of the islands
taken in 1903. puts it. In the archi-
pelago are only sixteen white women
and thirty-One white males, Includ-
ing children.
Sulu, the biggest island in TIE
archipelago, has almost exactly the
same area as New York city.
Henry Savage Lander, whom the
sultan received, thus describes him:
The sultan's attire was not i'm
preSSive. He wore white turban
with IA pendant fringed end over his
left shoulder and Il short, violet ZOu-
ave iiacket) with a double row of
gold buttons in front and some en-
brOidsry upon the shoulders. His
trousers were tight-titing and held
up by an ample kamar band of
Japanese Grape. Perhaps the richly
gold embroidered slippers distracted
the observers attention a good deal
from the sultan's small, poX-markfd
face. with its sunkeu half-Olive eyes
and prominent lasciviOus lips adorn-
ed by a small dropping moustache.
OF the women, Lander writes:
"Sulu women battle often, are
submissive, cOusiGeratc and, as local
beauty goes. fairly good-Iooking,
with great. big expressive eyes set IN
flabby whitechalked faces. They
