CURIOUS TRIBAL CUSTOMS.
Papuan Race in Which Women
Have Much Influence.

Melbourne Cor. London Chronicle.
A Methodist missionary in British New
Guinea-now known as Papua-the Rev.
W. e. BROMLEY. has added to the worlds
knowledge Of the curious and little-known
races Of the great north Pacific island by
the discovery and partial tanning Of new
tribe.
The race in question consists of about
1000 blacks, living at a place called
Dobu. The customs Of the race are most
curious. The immigration policy is more
drastic than that Of white Australia -
full members of the tribe or be eaten.
When dealing with Mr.. Brownlow. how
ever, the difficulty was got over by max
ing him father OF the tribe.
In an interview In Sydney Mr.. Brown
low gave some interesting particulars Of
the Dobuans' standard Of civilization. The
Dobuan land laws. he said. were an exam
pie to modern countries. Each tribe and
each family had their own land, and no
portion was allowed to go out Of their
possession except as a loan for q seasons
crop. The men married out Of their own
tribe. and on their death their land be-
came the property Of their sisters chill
dren. and so It was handed down from
generation to generation within the tribe.
Women have great influence in the at
ldII6 u LILO duu IuclT, Oull0S are
quite distinct from those of the men. The
men clear the bush and dig the ground.
then the women prepare It and plant
yams, the crop being theirs. If a man
wanted any yams he had to ask for them
The banana patch. however, was his own
property. Wives were obtained by pur-
chase. If a man paid well for his wife
he could thrash her occasionally, but she
could leave him If she did not like it and
go back to her own village. where she
still had a home.
In the religion Of the people. continued
Mr.. Brownlow. there was something of
ancestral worship. A deceased relative
was regarded as sacred. and his name
must not be mentioned on pain OF death
An exception was made in the case of any
one being i'll and given up by the medicine
man. The latter might then call upon the
name of an ancestor. invoking him to
bring back the spirit of the dying man.
Their heaven was a place where the
healthy. strong and good looking went.
All the others went to hell. They believe
in a being who created them, but left
them alone afterward.

Don't BE Too Fat

II you're too fat just say to the druggist the
magic word ''Marmola." Take some ana watch

are comfortably thin. Then tell other fat folks
about it. It's a good thing to remember the
prescription: u ounce Marmola. n ounce Fluid

before bedtime. While you're taking Marmola
you can eat and drink as much as you like,

you stop taking the medicine.

Love and Marriage Abroad.
rom Everybody's Magazine

The European man thinks he knows the
American gipl, but he judges her by the
girls Of his own country and therefore
entirely misunderstands her. He cannot
comprehend the healthy unromantic
friendships that exist in America between
boys and girls. who see each other under
all sorts Of informal circumstances and
yet need have no thought Of love or senti-
ment. He thinks the American girl has
had long experience in the ways Of men,
and that she Is as we'll versed in the man
ner of lovers as the experienced married
f1irts of Partisan and Roman society
Used to men she is: but not to the sort of
men she meets for the first time abroad
She is used to the type Of boy that she
has known all her life" She can fathom
what he thinks on pretty much any SUBJ
ject, and whether he Is in love with her
or not Is q matter that she can decide
