Debate on Salary Raise
Not Society swells

Nelson then gave figures showing the salaries paid legislators in European countries and, continuing his argument spoke with resentment of the idea that legislators were here as laborers for a saalry. This was a post of honor and the pay was enough to live modestly "We do not want to enter the social world, he asserted.
 Senator Gallinger favored the in crease. He said: We have been in creasing salaries all along the line ex cept our own. The heads of various bureaus and some private secretaries get almost as much as we; interstate commerce commissioners get twice as much, as do any judges.
 Living expenses, he said do not represent the total demand upon legis- lators. Each member, he continued, must make political contributions. This was just and so were many other de mands which could not be avoided.

State Legislation Won't Do

-Beveridge argued that state legisla- tion is inadequate to stop the evil for the reason that if one state passed a good law the manufacturers are placed at disadvantage in competition with states which refused or neglected to pass good laws Beveridge urged that bis proposed act is in no sense n restrie- ton of legitimate state rights, and quot ed at length from decisions of courts to prove the bill constitutional. To save human beings from ruin, he said is the purpose and effect of the bill.
 Debate on Salary Raise
 The discussion on the salary measure was general Mr Berry contended that 5000 was not grossly inadequate sal ary for senators and members of con gress He denied that they could not live on that amount ''There is not half of them, he declared, "who ever could or ever did make 5000 year engaged in any other business. v
 Senator Nelson offered an amend ment confning the increase to the vice president, speaker and cabinet officers, He said: We, as legislators, are to- day paid higher than legislators of any other country -

MAORI SAvAGERY.
The Women Slaughtered the Victims
For the CannibaI Feasts.

Mrs. e. NJ. Dunlop of Auckland, New
"The Maori woman can keep at will
She has practiced the art, which has
formed an important part of her traiIe
ing. She weeps so genuinely and sc
copiously as to melt the heart of q
sympathizing witness. The Maoris
hold 'tnagis,' or weeping parties, to
mourn their dead, and in these gather.
ings the women play a conspicuous
part. While weeping they utter low,
mournful cry, which has very weird
effect when produced by number of
voices. The mourners sit in groups,
with their heads partially covered, Civ
ing forth their monotonous wailing and
shedding copious tears.
1.-THE Maori woman of past ages al.
most excelled her lord in savagery. On
they usually brought home number
Of prisoners and slaves. 1t was the
privilege Of the women of the tribe to
fall upon these, slaughtering them in
preparation for the cannibal feast
which followed. The women bore the
painful ceremony of the tattoo without
shrinking. Spiral marks were cut into
the flesh of their chins, lips and faces;
a SCOT made by peculiar method was
rubbed into the wounds, causing an in
delible blue-black stain.
1.-THE Maoris, even In their former
state, treated their women with a GER
tain amount Of consideration, although
the lot of the female slave was very
hard and often ended In her being
served up as a dainty dish to appease
the appetite of her voracious lord, who
would kick away the baskets of vege-
table food presented to him by his
wives as signal that he required the
tender flesh of slave girl"

THE SIX HUNDRED.
Incidents Of That Mad Ride to Death
at BalakIava.

Incidents of That Mad Ride to Death
at BalakIava.
or that mad but heroic charge a hun
dred incidents are preserved-thrilling,
humorous, shocking. The Cornhill
Magazine tells of man of the Seven
teenth lancers who was heard to shout
just as they raced in upon the guns,
a quotation from Shakespeare, "Who
Is there here would ask more men from
England?"
The regimental butcher of the Seven
teenth lancers was engaged in killing
a sheep when he heard the trumpets
sound for the charge. He leaped on q
horse. In shirt sleeves, with bare arms
and pipe in mouth, he rode through the
whole charge slew, it is said, six men
with his own hand, and came back
again, pipe still in mouth!
A private of the Eleventh was under
arrest for drunkenness when the charge
began, but broke out, followed his
troop on spare horse, picked up q
sword as he rode and shared in the
rapture and perils of the charge. The
charge lasted twenty minutes, and was
ever before such daring or such suffer
ing packed into space so brief? The
squadrons rode into the fight number
ing 673 horsemen, but their mounted
strength when the fight was over was
exactly 1875.
1t was all blunder, but 1t evoked a
heroism which made the blunder itself
magnificent. And as long as brave
deeds can thrill the imagination OF
men the story will be remembered OF
how
Stormed at with shot and shell.
Boldly they rode and well
Into the jaws Of death,
Into the mouth of hell
! Noble six hundred!
