Papuan Medicine Mems Methods.

From the Wid" World Magazine.
Papuan medicine men are regarded with
great respect by the natives. Those
have met certainly seemed energetic and
hard working. They sit close to the pa

much vigor. and while they are thus rub
bling make a noise with their lips rather
like that which a groom makes when
rubbing down a horse The process is 4
trying one. and the medicine man stops
at intervals to drink hot water in which
taro has been boiled. His object is to
extract some mysterious foreign sub
stance from the sick mans body. and ft
he succeeds in this ne receives a fee,
otherwise he gets nothing NO cure no
pay" is apparently the Papuan's motto

of the Sulphite pulp pool have been at

market by its boot straps. They were
continuously embarrassed by the refusal
of Theodore Burgess of the Burgess Sui

restrict his tonnage. Finally. he was

joy went up over The elimination of this

reckoned that the paper makers would

the purchasers OF sulpbi,e pulp, like
George A. Whiting of Menasha. Wis,
were buying sulphite pulp where they
could buy it cheapest tSee page 2D66).
Other mill men. including John Strange
tsee page 20S6,. said they bought foreign
sulphte because it was superior TO the
American product.
Imports From Germany.
The Germans had devoted great study
and energy to the promotion of the sui
phite manufacture and had made many
improvements while the American makers
were content to run along on primitive
methods. The high prices which the
American producers had fixed and to
maintain which they had restricted their
output, invited large importatons of for
eign pulp, So that in the first seven months
of the year 1908 the foreign makers fur
nished 81 per cent of all the sulphite
used in the United States $1,000 tons
came from Europe, 1l,O00 tons from
Canada and $1,000 tons from American
mills. In June. 1908. prices for sulphitG
dropped to lower level than they had
reached in eight years. The sulphite

ship considers certain other unauthorized

matory At one stroke of the pen all the
best of the private theatrical societies

The stage society. the play actors, and
kindred organizations largely depend upon
Sunday night performances in theaters for
their prosperity, and, indeed their very
existence. Owing to the fact that they
have not taken money at the doors they
have been ena bled to produce plays such
as Mr.. Granville Bankers Waste" which
have come under the lord chamberIains
official ban in the very houses from which
the plays would have been excluded had
it been desired to present them to the
ordinary public on payment in the usual
way.

a definite official plan to prevent Sun
day evening theatrical performances save
for charity and must more than that in

5ility of "censorad'--that is, prohibited

Carnegie Increases Foundation Fund

New York. April 4.-Announcement
is made that Andrew Carnegie will
add 100000 to the fund Of the Car
negie foundation or whatever sum
may be necessary to include as PEN
sion beneficiaries eligible professors
of state universities.
No provision was made for this
class of educators in the original gift
for the reason stated by Mr.. Car
negie at the time that the donor
thought it possible that such institu-
lions might prefer that their rela-
tions should continue exclusively
with the state from which their chief
support was derived. This view was
not taken by the national association
of state universities, which in the
year following the establishment of
the foundation petitioned the trus-
tees for admittance to the benefits
of the retiring allowance system. It
was then found that the earnings of
the original fund Of $1O,OO0,0O0 were
exhausted through the outlet already
planned and that if the faculties of
all state universities were to be
benefited an additional 100000
would be required. The situation was
placed formally before Mr.. Carnegie
by Dr. Henry s. Pritchett, president
of the Carnegie foundation for the
advancement of teaching on March
