Nowhere In the world can be found
a more striking monument than that

THE NEGRITOS.
Odd Marriage Ceremony Of These
B%arbarous Little People.

Belonging as they do to the lowest
type of civilization as yet discovered,
the Negritos of Malaysia and their
ways are well worth studying. Simple,
primitive, barbaroEs little people, their
customs are those Of prehistoric man.
They have no fixed home or settle
ments, but are wanderers over their
mountainous islands. sleeping under q
banana leaf, living on herbs end Der
ries and game.
Their marriage ceremony Is q unique
survival Of early life. The sutton and
a few companions dance about the
shelter Of the desired girl. There is
a curious resemblance between the
dances Of the prospective bridegroom
and those Of many of the game birds
of our woodland. Finally the girl, ac-
~companied by her mother, starts to-
ward the dwelling of the young men.
They frequently stop, squatting In the
trail while the ardent sutton and his
companions continue their e%ntreatlng
and bewitching dances, winding round
and round the girl. Presents are gen.

before the reluctant bride will pro-

FOUGHT IN A FOG.
A Duel In Which Neither Principal
Could See the Other.

The most la~ughable duel ever"fought'
In France was that which took place
I'm November, 1873, at Plessis- Piquet
between Messrs. Gambetta and DE
Fourtou.
Some heated words had passed be-
tween the two distinguished gentlemen
In the chamber of deputies, for which,
according to their ideas of honor, moth
ing could atone except a duel. The
men met therefore on the field at
tended by their seconds and the sur
geons.
A look over the field was enough to
convince any one present that there
would be no occasion for the doctors
services. A thick November fog hung
over the scene-so thick, indeed, that
one could hardly see his hand before
his face. The arrangements for the
duel required that II should be fought
at t~hirty-fve PAGES.
Nor was the fog the only circum-
stance that tended to place the COM
batants out of sight of each other. On
the way to the field NJ. de Fourtou is
reported to have said:
IN. Gambetta has but N eye, and
I am shortsighted, so the game will
be about even.'
1t was. of course, rendered still more
seven by the fog. Neither man could
see the other, and the sole danger was
to the seconds and the doctors.
Almost m%iraculously the two bullets
that were exchanged missed the per-

HUNTING MAHOGANY.
II Takes an Experienced Woodsman to
Locate the Trees.

Locate the Trees.
Mahogany trees do not grow in clus-
ters, but are scattered throughout the
forest and hidden In a dense growth
Of underbrush, vines and creepers and
require a skillful and experienced
woodsman to find them. He seeks the
highest ground In a forest. climbs to
the top of the tallest tree and surveys
the surrounding country. The mahog-
any has n peculiar foliage, and his
practiced eye soon detects the trees
within sight.
The aXmen follow the hunter, and
then come the sawyers and hewers, a
large mahogany taking two men a full
day to fell It. The tree has large spurs
which project from the trunk at its
base, and scaffolds must be erected 80
that the tree can be cut Off above the
spurs. This leaves a stump ten to if
teen feet high, which is sheer waste,
as the stump really contains the best
lumber.
The hunter has nothing to do with
the work Of cutting or removing the
tree, his duty being simply to locate
1t. If he Is clever and energetic, his
remuneration may amount to $500 or
$1,000 a month, but he may travel
weeks ut a time without detecting a
tree, and as he Is generally paid by
results his earnings are rather precari-
ous.-St. Louis Republic.

FAIRIES IN IRELAND.
A Roatman's Story Of the Antics OF
tho Little People.

Here Is a modern fairy story from
Ireland: "One day about twenty years
ago." writes a correspondent, 81 was
fishing from a boat on Tough Derg.
| inquired of my boatmen If they had
ever seen fairies. At first, fearing to
be laughed at, they secuted the idea,
but n of them told the following:
ION a Sunday he was returning after
mass and stood with a friend named
Sullivan on the bridge of Killaloe.
Looking toward a potato field on the
slope of the rising ground To the east
of the town, a field which he was able
to point out from the. boat, he saw
issuing from tn. liss Il troop Of little
people, II being distinctly taller than
the rest. AT first they seemed rather
blurred, then took distinct shapes and
began to play the national game Of
hurley among the bare potato rigs.
He called Sullivan's attention to them.
but for some time his friend could not
see them, then said he could. and they
watched the game together for a time.
Then the sun went in. and the fairies,
moving toward the llss, as If return
ing to 1t, vanished. Lisses are rough

d~epressions. often bushy, but never

quainted with it and use you influ-

out.

Cured the first general observance of
Flag Day by the public schools Of

with the same interest rs last, and

These letters are now on file il the

souvenirs of those first Flag Day e
ercises. Many teachers have reported
that on that occasion their patrons
attended and by their presence ad1ed
to the interest, and that 1 or more
of their visitors made inspiring and
patriotic addresses, which added
much to the spirit of the occasion
and increased the community inter

PLANS FOR THE RE-
GENERATION OF RUSSIA

St. Petersburg, Jar. 31.-Premier
Stolypin today issued an important
circular to the Governor General,
local governors and projects of Rus
STA and the Caucasus emphasizing
the governments desire to cooperate
amicably with parliament, which the
Premier considers must be the main
factor in the regeneration of Russia.
After commenting on the efforts of
certain factions to misrepresent the
intentions of the government in order
to insure the election of opposition
members of parliament, the Premier
points out that representatives of the
crown are forbidden to take part in
party politics, and urges the local
authorities to assure full freedom in
the elections. At the same time, he
adds, they must oppose revolutionary
propaganda and deny false reports
regarding the plans of the govern
melt.
In concluding the Premier refers
to the falseness of rumors charging
the government with the intention of
d~issolving the new parliament and re
turning to the old system Of govern
ment. NJ. Stolypi1 says: "The desire
of the government is to develop the
Zemstvo system of government and
oy financial reforms to increase the
of the Zemstvos and the
commonwealth. It's chief aim is i'm
provement of the position of the pea
SAINTS, not only by the creation of a
land fund but by making it possible
for every diligent laborer to cultivate
his own land without impairing the
rights of others.

A STROKE OF GENIUS.

ANY Territorial official who in
any manner attempts to influence
the members of the legislature shall
be deemed guilty of an attempt to
bribe such legislature"
Wonder why the United States SEN
ate has never thought of a scheme
like this to shut off the b~ombardment
of special messages from President
Roosevelt. Simple. isn't it? But it
remained for the lower house Of the
legislature, under the tuition of Bur
sum and Frost. to solve a problem
that has been p~erplexing the great
est statesmen of the country.
Talk about New Mexico not being
fit for statehood. With a Legislature
of such brilliance, originality and po'
litical sagacity, Aldrich and Foraker
may well have an eye upon their own
laurels. No wonder the Foraker
amendment was placed in the state
hood bill.
Even as the oil trust crushes out
competition, the leaders of the United
States senate must protect them
| selves from the intellectual giants
trained in the New Mexico school OF
politics.
But the joke is on the learned sen
ators now. After all their labors to
| squelch President Roosevelt, the de-
spised and outcast Blanket in1ians"
of New Mexico have solved the prob
lem as easily as appointing 4 white
washing committee or giving the
packers trust an immunity bath.
Just charge the President and the
Attorney General of the United States
with bribery for sending in special
messages or trying to secure indict-
ments against the clients of the U.
S. chamber of corporation attorneys.
After disposing of Governor Hager-
man and Attorney General Reid. ali
that will be necessary to secure state
mood will be a brief telegram to Dele
gate Andrews, who will Immediately
notify the Pennsylvania delegation.
Foraker and Aldrich have failed-and
other senators will fall over each 9TH
er in the rush to admit Senators Bur
sum n Frost,-a1d, incidentally. the
Territory will be given statehood.
Andrews of course will hold the
sack" but his work is too coarse.

ton in the present emergency. n
