Took HIS Meals Tm His Ca bin.

An Australian millionaire, Mr. James
Tyson. left behind him when he died
a fortune of GS,0OO,O0o- One of the
many stories concerning him tells how
on one occasion he was a passenger
on a Queensland coasting steamer AS
usual, when travelling he declined to
undreSss at night and lay in his bunk
fully clothed, boots, and ALL. He had
taken thither with him. moreover,
three loaves of bread upon which to
subsist for forty eight hours in order
to save the expense of meals. The stew
ards complained to- the purser of the
crumbs which the. milli0lraire'S meth
DDS caused in the cabin. But nothing
would induce Tyson to- eat his loaves
elsewhere than in his bunk. Great was
his rage when at the end of the voyage
he was charged not only full rate, but
one-fourth extra for having taken his
meals in his: cabin"

The Javanese manner of settling
quarrels is quite original When one
man has offended another the injured
party gives notice that he is angry by
drawing in the sand before the door
of the offender circle with straight
line across it, indicating that his af-
lection, which would have been eter-
nal, has been cut in two. Friends of
both parties then shut them up. They
parley awhile, then pretend to be born
again, prattle as little children and final
ly as men become reconciled and en-
brace. Should one be refractory and
refuse to be conciliated he is Ostracized
by the community so effectually that
he is soon brought to terms. 1t is just
possible that our enlightened citizens
might consider this method better than
Touchdown arguments and certainly
much cheaper than going to law.

Long Life.

Weber sums the main points to be
observed by those DESTROYS of a long
life as follows: First, moderation in
eating, drinking and physical indul-
gence; second, pure air out the house
and within; third, the keeping of every
organ of the body, SO far as possible, in
constant working order; fourth regu-
lar exercise every day in all weathers,
supported in many cases by breathing
movements and by walking and climb
ing touIs; fifth, going to bed early and
rising early and restricting the hours
of sleep to six or seven hours: sixth,
daily baths or ablutions according to
individual conditions. cold or warm or
warm followed by cold: seventh. regu-
lar work and mental occupation:
eighth. cultivation of placidity. cheer
fulness and hopefulness of mind: ninth,
employment of the great power of the
mind in controlling passions and nerv-
Gus fear; tenth, strengthening the will
in carrying out whatever is useful and
in checking the craving for stimulants,
anodynes and other injurious agencies.

The OminOUs Owl,

It's an odd thing but there are a
number of people who have distinct
antipathy to the screech owl and can
not listen to single burst of it's
hilarity without shuddering The
screech owl is supposed by the negroes
on southern plantations to be in direct
communication with all the ghosts
and giants of the forests. He plays
a great part in the more weird folklore
stories of the darkies. A funny super
stition in regard to the screech owl is
that if you will take your shoe or slip
per off your left foot the first time you
hear an owl laugh and turn the shoe
sole upward on the floor and place your
''stockin' foot" on the bottom of the
shoes sole the owl will stop laughing
and fly for ten miles without rest.

Courtship In New 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 young man falls in
love with Papuan belle he does not
look at her and whenever possible
shuns her company. If she appears
grieved at such Sights the sutton 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 Il 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 strysting 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
in New Guinea.

Disadvantages of an Even Temper

1t is usual to envy the even tempered
peoplc-those who are never unduly
elated or cast down, who knit on
plain all the time If one like that sort
of thing it would be equally natural
to envy the animals-cows and pigs, for
instance whose serenity is seldom dis
turbed. For my part | think those even
tempered people lose nine-tenths of the
pleasure of existence. The depths of
grief and gloom into which impulsive
people are thrown are amply made up
for by the equally unreasonable and
unreasoning joy into which they spring
at the slightest possible excuse, and
the sorrow of a quarrel with dear
one is paid for in the delight of ''mak-
ing up" Parents are very apt to i'm
press on their children the beauty of
this even disposition, but so far as
can see the only benefit derived from
it is an unWrinkled compleXion.-DOna
