Nowhere Are Life and Property So
Safe as In Labrador.
A traveller who recently visited the
coast of Labrador says that nowhere
on earth are life and property held SO
sacred us in that little known and bar
ren land. A thousand miles of lonely
seaboard, along which is scattered n
population of some 10000 people, about
one-third of whom are white, would
seem to give every opportunity for
crime, yet there is no police officer of
any kind. no court and no Jail. Nor
are they needed. The only criminal
charge within fifty years was one
against an Eskimo, who shot u rival in
love.
In addition to the resident popula.
ton the coast is visited every summer
by about 10000 Newfoundland fisher
men, and, while Newfoundland itself Is
not by any means free from criminals,
none appear to come among the fishers
or else the example of the natives OF
Labrador causes them to refrain from
any wrongdoing while there. Years
ago circuit court visited the coast
every summer. but rs 1t found nothing
to do 1t was abolished. Now should
any serious charge be made against q
man magistrate would be sent from
Newfoundland to Investigate it.-Har-

why Eyes Get Red.


The eyeball contains high percent
age Of blood. and why, therefore, is II
white! The answer Is that the blood
vessels which supply its surface are
SO exceedingly minute that usually
they do not admit the little red corpus
cles TO which the ordinary red appear
ance of the blood is due. Blood without
these corpusclcs is colorlcss, or. at
most, of the faintcst yellow tint But
occasionally when the eye is irritated
or when there is any slight or consid-
cradle arrangement of the system GER
tain of the little vessels enlarge sufli.
GENTLY to allow the corpusclcs to en-,
ter, thereby producing the well known
red streaks or infamed appearance of
the eyeball.

this state of passion is said TO be .'ju-

liglous oath, perhaps administered by
some sacred "hadjf who had duly
made his pilgrimage to Mecca. He has
bound himself up SO that he suffers
excruciating ngonies and through phys

frenzy. Having once taken the oath,
the Moro "juramentado" is doomed to

The Moro Is Mohammedan, but he
has perverted the Mohamlnedan belief
until Mt times it Is weird. grOtesque

that lie who dies In battle is cleansed
from sin and goes straight to the hos
