YOUR TRUE COMMUTER.
Hs Must BE by Nature a Man Who
Takes 10 Routine

Your tB1e commuter must be by ma
ture man who takes TO routine.
There are some who have commuted
have not acquired the trick and never
will. They are the ones who write let
ters TO the newspapers, airing their
grievances against the heartless rail
road corporations. They are not born
commuters. They have had commuta-
tion thrust upon them. But many real
ly enjoy the life OF the commuter.
They like the clocklike regularity.
They like the pleasant social aspect OF
the early morning trip TO town, the
neighborly interest In one another's af-
fairs, the ample time for reading the
newspapers, which numerous city resi-
dents miss by not being obliged TO get
an early start. They look forward 10
the pleasant relaxation of the whist
game OH the way home, with head on
one side 10 keep the smoke out Of their
eyes. Some of them even say that
they enjoy being awakened early in
the morning.
In time all who work In New York
will come to II. Meanwhile, for the
man with family II appears TO he in
many ways happy solution Of diff
cult problem. Undoubtedly ii is more
wholesome existence physically, but
mentally and spiritually it has the de-
fccts OF its virtues when pursued all
the year round. The commuter devotes
the best part Of the day to one narrow
corner Of the city. The rest Of his
time not consumed on the train is In
still more narrowing atmosphere Of the
suburbs. He neither gets all the way
into the life of the city nor clean out
into the country So his view OF things
has neither the perspective OF robust
rurality nor the sophistication Of man
In the city and Of It, His return TO
nature is only halfway. His urbanity
Is suburbanity. Much OF our literature,
art and especially criticisms show the
taint OF the commuters point Of view.

RELICS OF THE DEAD.
horrible Custom, Of Q South American
Indian Tribe.

The Ucayali Indians, a numerous
south American tribe. with decided
canniballstic tastes, who inhabit both
banks OF one Of the uppermost and
longest OF the affiuents of the Amazon,
have a system by which they preserve
the features OF their dead. so that

have gone to the happy hunting
ground" as surely AS IL gazing at a
photograph.
To accomplish this they cut the head
from the body, but retain the long hair.
The ghastly, bleeding trophies OF

their enemies are suspended by the
long, straight black hair 10 the limb
Of a tree. Directly under this they
dig a hole, which they fill with water.
