Satisfying Honor In India.

They had peculiar way Of going
into bankruptcy among the Marawaris
in India, now unhappily giving way to
the less picturesque method of the
white man. When a man could not pay
his bills he would summon his cred
itors. They were ushered into room
in which the thakur, or household god,
was enshrined, but covered up with a
cloth and with the face turned to the
wall tn order that it might not witness
the scene that was to follow. The in
solvent would then, in garb Of mourn
ing, lie on the floor, presenting his
back to his creditors, who, on a given
signal, would fall on him with shoes
and slippers and belabor him till their
wrath was exhausted. The beating fin
ished, honor was declared to be salts
fed all around.

A MODERN ARCADIA.


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 as in that little known and bar
rem land. A thousand miles of lonely
seaboard, along which is scattered
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 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 a circuit court visited the coast
every summer but as it found nothing
to do it was abolished. Now should
any serious charge be made against a
man a magistrate would be sent from
Newfoundland to investigate THAR

FISHING FOR BIRDS.
Catching Gulls and Albatross With
Rod and Line.

Catching Gulls and Albatross With
Rod and Line.
Curious though it may seem, it is a
fact that birds are caught with rod and
line in many parts of the world. The
pastime is declared to be almost as fas-
cinating as fishing. Gulls in Newfound-
land are caught in this way in large
quantities. In New England fishing for
gulls and petrels is an important in
duStry.
The method of bird fishing is practi-
cally the same as that Of ordinary
fishing. Two men 60 out In dOry and
throw pieces of cod liver on the water.
When large quantities of birds have
been attracted to the spot more cod
liver is thrown out on a hook. This the
birds greedily swallow and thus fall
easy victims.
Albatross are fished for in the same
way off the Cape of Good Hope. A
piece of pork is attached to long line
and thrown overheard. The bird will
eye it for long time, gradually and
cautiously making toward it. Suddenly
he will seize it and hold it in his beak.
When he discovers that he is caught he
will sit on the water and vigorously
Zap his wings. However, he will be
drawn into the boat and made a cap
tive.
Albatross fishing is good sport, since
the bird requires careful handling. So
long as he pulls against the line it is
easy enough. The moment, however,
he swims forward the hook will drop
from his beak unless it is skillfully ma
nipulated, and the bird will find him.
self free.

IS MADE 4 TINE FOR REJOICING
GRAND STATE DINNER WILL BE

OF EVENT.

GOTTA, July 19.-Charles Edward,
duke of Saxe-Colburg- Gotha, who as
sumed the reins of government a year
ago today, upon reaching the age Of FL
years, is celebrating the first annivers-
airy of his succession to the throne.
There was a military review in the
morning, followed by levee, at which
the young duke received the congratu-
lations Of his court, of delegations from
various parts of the duchy, and Of rep
resentatives Of many German and other
principalities. This evening the stu
dents will celebrate the anniversary
with a grand torchlight procession. A
state dinner will also be given this
evening.
The young duke is the son of Leo
pold, duke of Albany and a grandson
of the late Queen Victoria and the
prince consort, Prince Albert of Sake
Coburg- Gotha. He succeeded to his
present title on the death of his uncle,
Prince Alfred, duke of Edinburgh, July
80. 1900. The young duke receives $75,-

Gotha domain-$25, 900 paid into the
public exchequer, the rest is divided

A CURIOSITY IN BOOKS.
The Famous Chained Library OF
WimbOurne, Ireland.

The Famous Chained Library OF
WimbOurne, Ireland.
Wimbourne, Ireland, is noted for
many things, but its famous chained
library is perhaps the most notable Of
its curiosities. The library possesses
unique interest as being one Of the
earliest attempts to disseminate knowl-
edge among the people. The collection
was made accessible to the people in
1856 and numbers some 200 volumes.
The scarcity Of books and the value of
the collection are both indicated in the
care taken for their preservation, and
especially against loss of such treas
ures by theft. BY means Of chains
and rods the books were securely fas-
tened to the shelves, and these chains,
it is rather surprising to learn, were
not removed until 1857, when the IL
brary fittings were repaired. Among
the interesting works of the collection
is a copy of the first edition of Sir
Walter Raleigh's History Of the
World" 1914. 1t has suffered from fire,
and tradition says that Matthew Prior
was responsible for it's condition, the
story being that he fell asleep when
reading it once upon a time, and the
pages were burned by his candle. 1t
has been neatly repaired, and its mis-
hap now adds to its interest. The old
est volume in the library is a fine old
copy in vellum of 'Reginum Aninna
rum" 1t is in manuscript and bears
the date 1343.

"You are Jewess?'

THE SAVAGE MORO.


His Terrible Religious Frenzy Which
Riots In Murder.
The Moro is savage, a primal man,
a Malay, which is branch of one OF
the oldest stocks of which we know.
He is subject when not under the In
fiuence of a self contained ruler to
strange, murderous fits Of insanity.
When a Moro, without effort on his
part, becomes seized with desire to
murder he is said to have run amuck.'
and at such times he will rush wildly.
slashing and killing every one he
chances to meet, even his own people.
When, however, he purpOsely works
himself into a religious frenzy 1t is
with the desire to kill Christians and
by the faith of the prophet ascend
forthwith into paradise. The Moro In
this state Of passion is said to be "ju-
ramentado." He has then taken re-
ligious oath, perhaps administered by
some sacred ''hadjr who had duly
made his pilgrimage to Mecca. He has
bound himself up so that he suffers
excruciating agonies and through phys
ical suffering is reduced to a nervous
frenzy. Having once taken the oath,
the Moro "juramentado" is doomed to
slay until at last he himself is slain.
The Moro is a Mohammedan, but he
has perverted the Mohammedan belief
until at times it is weird, grotesque
and terrible religion. In the heart OF
the Moro there is no fear of death. 1t
is to him but an incident Of life, and
his belief, as he has fashioned 1t, Is
that he who dies in battle is cleansed
from sin and goes straight to the bos-
oms of the houris in paradise. The
Moro's idea of government is force.
He has never known anything else. If
you are kind to him he thinks you fear
him. His world is ruled by fear, not
love. - Hamilton Wright in Leslie's
Weekly.

President Still Firm.

In view of the fact that although the
administration has succeeded in secur-
ing excellent legislation from congress
regarding domestic matters, it has
single item in it's foreign policy it has
suggested that the president can we'll
afford to wipe off his old foreign slate
and begin anew with distinctive
American commercial reciprocity
scheme which would commend itself to
the business sense of the country and
which would give us much closer for
eign relations than undesirable con-
ferences in out-of- the-way countries
and collection of petty revenues under
the guns of our fleet.
The president believes in revision of
the tariff. He never has welded his
position on this point at all. He has
listened, however to the voice of "Un-
cle' Joe Cannon and other wise vet
ans of congress, who say that while
there are many schedules in the Ding
ley tariff which ought to be changed,
the mere act of changing might do
more harm to business than the benefit
derived from a reduction of rates. The
president has been convinced always
by these argumtnts, but he yielded to
such an extent as to refrain from the
expected argument for a revision of
his message. Reciprocity is safe
middle ground between standpatism
and radical tariff revision.

WILL Be WORK
To Be Taken Up by Congress al
Short Session
BEGINNING Of TARIFF REVISION
PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT is STILL
FIRM AND WILL DEMAND Ac-
TON BE TAKEN.

CHICAGO, July ia Washington
special to the Tribune says: Tariff re-
ciprocity as the beginning of tariff re-
vision may be made the chief issue OF
the short session of the Fifty-ninth
congress.
It is more than likely that after the
election in November steps will be
taken in the direction of the passage
of a general reciprocity law. This
does not mean that any such law will
be passed next winter, because that
absolutely is impossible at the short
session of congress. 1t is likely, how
ever, that some preliminary action will
be taken by way of the appointment of
a commission or point committee of the
two houses of congress to draft some
thing in the way of reciprocity law
commercial arrangements.
Whatever reciprocity there is must
feature of the Dingley act expired two
years after it's passage, and none of
the treaties negotiated under its pro-
visions succeeded in securing raitfica-
ton by the senate.
May Not Disturb Rates.
The reciprocity of the future must be
statutory; that is to say, the president
must be authorized in some way, either
by the operation of a maximum and
minimum tariff or by horizontal re-
duction, to promote trade relations
with other countries.
This would not mean revision of the
tariff if reciprocity could be accom-
plished on a percentage basis, that is
to say, by the application of a more
general principle Of this act with
out disturbing the rates themselves,
thus provoking a general tariff discus
sion. 1t practically is certain that the
joint commission plan will be adopt d
at the short session Of congress.
1t is too early yet to say whether
President Roosevelt will or will not
discuss the tariff in his next message
to congress. He consented to eliminate
the subject last fall because he had so
many irons in the fire he did not deem
it advisable to take up new one and
endeavor to keep that also at white
heat. The railroad rate fight was ahead
of the administration. 1t was certain
to be bitter, and his best friends felt
that if the tariff was dragged into the
situation it would complicate matters
and enable the enemies of railroad
regulation to combine with tariff IA
natics.
