WANTED THE GIBLETS.

CIV
There are innumerable stories of
Revolutionary days in Charleston,
South Carolina. The old ladies used
to tell with glee how, when the Brit
ish were supposed to be out of the
way, the. young fellows would come
home to dance with them. A message
would go to the nearest cousins and
friends, and a supper be cooked. 1t
might be only rice and bacon, but it
was good to hungry men, declares
Charleston's historian. Mrs. Ravenal.
The lance and the feast would con-
tinue until the stars grew pale.
Often these merrylnakings We're dis
turbed by the enemy; but there was
always 4 negro or two on the watch,
and the harsh note of the screech-owl
or the cry of the ~whippoorwill would
give the alarm. Then 'partings in hot
haste,' a rush for the horses, a sharp
scufle, a hot pursuit, and perhaps a
prisoner taken.
The young men had odd adventures.
One young fellow betrayed himself by
his appetite. He was pursued and had
taken shelter at Mrs. Notes place,
on South Santee. She rolled him up
in q carpet, and pushing it against
the wall, told him to keep quiet until
the enemy had gone and she could re-
lease him.
Unluckily, he heard through the open
window his hostess giving directions
to the cool about the chickens which
were to be dressed for the dragons
dinner. He could not bear to be left
out, and thrust his head from the car
pet %chrysalis, and cried out, Keep the
giblets for mel"
The soldiers heard, and he was at
once caught and carried off, to repent
Ut leisure Of his indiscretion.

THE NEGRITos.
Odd Marriage Ceremony of These
Little People.

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, barbarous 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 a
banana leaf, living on herbs and ber-
ries and game.
Their marriage ceremony is a 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, sauatting in the
trail while the araent suitor and his
companions continue their e~ntreating
and b~ewitching dances, winding round
and DUN the girl. Presents are gen
orally demanded and must be given
before the reluctant bride will pro
coed. Finally the ome arrive near
a steep bamboo platform. A wild
shout pierces the air, and the bride
groom, Like a frenzied animal, tears
through the Negritos assembled at the
base of the platform, snatches the
bride in his arms and flies up the in
cline with his mate, where they sit
during the wedding feast-New York

and the civil and mechanical engineer. The era Of the
man Of business has begun.
Commercial schools and business colleges formerly con-
tented themselves with teaching arithmetic, bookkeeping,
banking, typewriting, stenography and commercial law.
They have been obliged greatly to broaden their scope.
In the larger cities the free commercial high schools, the
evening schools and the Young Mems Christian Associa-
tions, most Of which maintain educational departments,
find themselves compelled, in Difference to popular de-
.mand, to establish classes in advertising, craftsmanship,
real estate. investments and other subjects which reflect
the prevalent interest in business. Some of the colleges
maintain postgraduate courses for the study of interna-
tional trade in its broadcast aspects, as well as in detail.
In business life itself q change has been going on not
unlike that which has taken place in agriculture-a move
ment toward intensive and systematic cultivation of spe-
cial fields. This has been fostered by, and in turn has
fsstered the invention Of countless Ingenious systems"

goods. This proposal Is for an independent. service be-
tween England and Australia and New Zealand via Can
ada. The scheme is chiefly the work of Lord S]trathcona
and the Honorable Clifford Sifton, and contemplates a
highway Of empire which would make Canada q half
way house between the nlotherland and her principal col
onies, excepting South Africa. AS outlined in the pro-
posals submitted in the last stages of the conference by
Premier Laurier, with the concurrence of the govern
ments of Australia and New Zealand, it is proposed to
establish with adequate state aid a fast service between
English ports and Canada by means of three twenty-five
knot steamers, which will bring England within four
days Of Halifax and eight days Of Vancouver. From the
latter port an eighteen-knot service is to be established to
Australia and New Zealand, and also to China and Japan.
The project will involve, it is estimated, a state subsidy
Of one million pounds sterling annually for ten years.
