HEAR HIM nnnw.

That man Castro, President of vene- zuela. is putting on airs these days. Like many others. he claims to have mission. and that mission, he an- nounces. is -to protect his beloved country from the, barbarians of Europe, and of the other America" the latter referring to the United States. Wouldn't that jar you? His arrogant utterance leads The Mexican Herald to say:
 Were Don Cipriano a poet, one might fancy that to his mind Venezuela Is charming and idyilc paradise into Vandals in the guise of asphalt com pany promoters, railway builders, etc, whose presence brings the menace of a structive of the charm of tropical ex- istence. But. unfortunately for Nthis explanation of Don Cipriano's attitude, hs a,hS mas ,nCra Cr s0wn os nne hyerss to the comed the very men he now denounces as barbarlans; he has in dealing with them shown his open contempt for the has made his country a by-word in all the foreign offices of the civilized world. Nor has his strange course class press of his own south Ameri- ca. We make no doubt that he has his grievances; that the foreigners in bis country have in some cases, abused It's hospitality. but no defense can be set up for his arrogance and disregard of international law.
 The idea of the President of such a country-and such Prssident--refer- ring to the people of Europe and the United States as ''barbarians' Is just about the limit of arrogant self im- portance. Next we know he'll be think ing himself as great as Roosevelt anc then there1i be the d--l to pay. sure enough.

QUEER PAPUAN LAW
IN PACIFIC ISLE
Tribe Where Sisters Children In
herit a Mans Prop
eTtV.

A Methodist missionary in British
New Guinea-now known as Papua-
Rev W. Z. Brownlow, has added TO the
worlds knowledge of the curious and
little known races Of the great north
Pacific island by the discovery and par
tial tanning of a new tribe.
The race in question consists Of about
20,0V0 blacks, living at a place called
Dobu. The customs of the race are
most curious.
The immigration policy is more dras-
tic than that Of White Australia for
all strangers have either to become full
members -Of the tribe or be eaten
When dealing with Mr.. Brownlow, how
ever the difficulty was got over by
making him a father OF the tribe.
Each tribe and each family had their
own land, and no portion IS allowed 10
go out OF their possession except as a
loan for a seasons crop. The men
marry out Of their own tribe, and on
their death their land becomes the prop
erty of their sisters children
Women nave great influence In the
affairs of the tribe. and their duties are
quite distinct from those of the men.
The men clear the bush and dig the
ground, then the women prepare II and
plant vans, the crop being theirs. II a
man wants any vans he has to ask for
them. The banana patch, however. is
his own property.
Wives are obtained by purchase. II a
man pays well for his wife he can
thrash her occasionally, but she could
leave him il she did not like it, and 90
back II her own village

WEIGHT OF BRAINS.

In proportion TO the size and weight
OF the body the human brain is larger
and heavier than the brain of any other
animal excepting possibly some of the
smallest birds and animals. The largest
whales ana elephants have brains larger
than those of man, but not in proper
ton TO the weight of their bodies. The
brain is largest in the white races and
smallest in saVages of Central Africa.
Men have larger brains than women.
The average weight of the white man S
brain IS forty-nine 10 fifty ounces, that
OF the white womalss brain is from
forty-tbree to forty-five ounces. While
some men OF great intellect have had
brains above the average in weight il is
not a rule that intellect tsl development
Of the Individual depends on the size of
