Savage Sense of Humor.

Lecturing on New Guinea, A. H.
Dunning said he once offered a native
some smelling salts. After going
through extraordinary contortions the
native went away, returning soon with
another native whom he compelled to
make acquaintance with the salts. The
two brought a third, and so on until
the whole village had been victimiz-
ed. The savages watched each new suf-
ferer with the keenest delight and
took good care not to let him know
what fate awaited him.
