Papuan Land Laws.

It seems that there are advanced
land laws way off in Papua. The
territory of Papua is part Of the
Island of New Guinea, lying in
the tropics north Of Australia.
The Territory is a dependency
of Australia, and is governed un-
der an act passed by the Australian
Federal parliament in November,
1905. The Statesman's Yearbook
says that land in the Territory
cannot be acquired directly from
the natives; and also that land
can be leased from the Grown,
but not sold. Stanforth Smith s
Handbook of Papua", as quoted
by progress" of Melbourne, says:
The land laws of the territory of
Papua are probably the most lib
eral in the tropics.
They are based on the broad
principles that (a) no land can be
alienated in fee simple; and (b)
the rental of the land leased is as
sessed on the unimproved value of
the land, and is subject to reassess-
ment at fixed periods.
No survey fees. Rent payable
is determined at 5 per cent per an
mum of the unimproved value Of
the land, which is appraised every
twenty years.

BEAUTY OF PHYSICAL HEALTH
No Attractiveness for Women Without
Good Digestion.

"To look young and keep your beau
ty' you must have a good Digestion
says beauty culturist. 1--WE feed our
patrons upon herbs we give them
green's, and we advise them to take
acid fruits. When a gypsy woman gets
out of sorts she lives upon dandelion
greens; she mixes sweet herbs; she
doctors herself with the fruits of the
earth, and she recovers.
Outdoor life is everything for the
woman who wants to keep young.
Her walk gives away the woman
who does not want people to know
how old she is. Usually she loses hel
elasticity. And she takes to high heels
and a stilted walk. Wear convention
al clothing and be elastic in your gait;
in that way you will look younger.

NEW zEALAND's WHITE ISLAND.
Always EnveIoped in Clouds of Steam
Its Strange Lakes.

White island in Australia, derives
It's name from the clouds of white
steam in which it appears to be con-
tinually enyeloped It's area is only
600 acres, and its height about $50
feet above the sea level
In form and colCr it is like repos-
ing camel, while its interior with its
gray, weather-beaten, almost perpen-
dicular cliffs, recalls the Coliseum at
Rome. Overhanging the southern
landing place stands column Of
rock closely resembling sentinel,
which has been dedicated to the mem
ory of Capt. Cook. The water of the
island is of pale green hue, and any
thing dipped into it becomes of a
red brick color. The fumes of sulphur
are always plainly perceptible.
On fine moonlight night wonder
full sight is afforded to any one who
will sit in an open boat in one of the
lakes of the island. Covering an area
of so acres is an immense caldron
kissing and snorting and sending forth
volumes of poisonous steam, while all
chances Of egress appear to be denied
by the steep, silent and gloomy cliffs.

One Hundred Years Ago.

1t was only a little more than
100 years ago that two stage coach
es carried all the land traffic and
baggage between New York and
Boston; that pillory and whip
ping posts were still up in New
York and New England; that
there was but one factory worthy
the name in the United States,
and that factory made cooked hats;
that men who wore pants land wo-
men, too) kept them up with pegs
and shoe laces; there we're prac-
tically no buttons in the country (;
that every housewife raised her
own flax and spun her own linen,
raised her own wool and made
clothes for herself and family |;
that two shillings was fair days
pay for fair days work, and a
fair days work was 12, ID, and 16
hours; that church collections
were taken in bag on the end OF
a pole with a bell which was rung
to rouse sleepy contributors; that
Virginia contained one-fifth the
population of the United States; ;
that there were six print shops in
the country; and that taxes were
tenth to one sixth the real val
ue of the property. We have i'm
proved a bit since then.

Death.Bed Statistics.

When great man dies, no one is in
terested in learning who surrounded
his deathbed, but the news is always
sent out. People care no more to
know, than to hear if he were laid out
in the parlor or bedroom, or if he were
attired in shroud or his regular
clothes. But an Atchison inquirer has
measured his bed, and finds that with.
out unseemly crowding it will accom-
modate 16. How, then, can 80 and 40
surround the deathbeds of the great
men, as told in the telegraph ?-Atch-

NOT ALTOGETHER AN ACCIDENT.
Husbands Deep Scheme Revealed "in
Strictest Confidence"

One Harlem, N. Y, matron was dis
cussing with another Harlem matron
the misfortune which she considered
had befallen the husband of third
Harlem matron.
"You see," she said, "he went down
to the steamer with friend who was
going abroad, and became so interest
ed talking in the friends cabin that
he never noticed the warning whistle,
and the steamer sailed with him on
board. However, he sent Marconi-
gram to his wife, so she wouldn't wor-
ry. dare say he's been kicking him
self about the ship ever since"
"Perhaps-and perhaps not" re-
piled the second Harlem matron. "The
fact is, he told my husband in con-
fidence ten days ago that he intended
to be carried off to Europe accidental
ly, because it was the only way he
could go without taking his wife
along. But for heavens sake, don't
mention the matter, my dear, because
he told my husband in the strictest
confidence"

COrsets.

An anatomist land what is more,
a friend of Luther Burbank) vouch-
safes the awesome intelligence that
woman has arrived at q stage of
weakness where she positively has
to have corsets. Through depend
ing on the support Of corsets dur
lug so many generations, he de-
clares, she has so weakened her
torso muscles that now she can
hardly stand up without her ac-
customed artificial and adventi-
tious aids.
All of which alarming announce
ment we respectfully characterize
as rot. The truth is that woman's
torso muscles are absolutely i'm
material. They will come in ham
dy later on to operate her wings,
but for the present she depends on
her backbone, which is all-suffi-
cient. 1t is all sufficient and
more--the world depends on it,
and we take this opportunity of
observing that it does SO with per-
feet safety.
Believing with her favorite po-
ct Pope that true art is nature to
advantage dressed (not undressed,
as some painters and sculptors con-
tend,) she wears corsets because
she thinks she looks better with
them on than if she left them off.

OF the forest fires of this year
Clifford Pinchot, chief of the For
estry bureau, says they are the
worst in his knowledge. He is
quoted as thus describing the ma
tional loss: "The whole northern
half of the country has been at

a severe drain on our timber sup
ply. Besides destroying valuable
timber and other property, the
flames which have been raging

Directors of the Independent league
held a meeting last night at the home
of Director George Luke. Minor busi-
ness of the organization was threshed
out. Manager Luke wanted the official
umpires to go back of the catcher to
fetal action was taken. Luke, who is
an old professional player, gave an in
teresting talk on the subject, "The
Umpire" and said 1T would tend to
stop ill-feeling among the different
clubs in the league If the umpire should
be required to judge plays and balls
and strikes from that position.
What Is expected to be an exciting
and close contest next Sunday on the
South Side Athletic club field Is the
game between the Lukes and the Pendo
teams. 1t will be a contest for the
honor of holding down first place in the
league percentages.
Rumor has 1t in amateur circles that
Bill Strong of the Lukes' baseball nine
will be married shortly in Los Angeles
to Miss Margaret Tim of East Los
Angeles.
Pitcher Clarence Whitridge, who for
merly played in the Independent league,
was united in marriage last Tuesday
to a belle Of Tropico at Prescott, Ariz.
Tom Graysen, pitcher, has been
warming up for the past few days with
the Portland team, and McCredie says
he will give him a trial before going
north.
Many members of the Los Angeles
Athletic club will accompany their
baseball team to Norwalk next Sun

formerly an amateur and connected
with the Pasadena team. was on the
mound for the Beavers and did nicely
until removed from the box. Randolph
was in poor form and gave the visitors
ten of the sixteen hits made by them,
and these resulted in five of the eight
runs made.
Errors were plentiful on both sides,
but the Angels managed to pile up
three as against brace for Portland.
In addition to not playing their usual
snappy game in the field, the Angels
were off in their batting, and only
scored seven hits during the game.
They were faulty in judgment on the
bases, too, and poor old Happiness Ho-
gan had to run into batted ball in the
third, which caused him to take seat
on the bench. However, the Angels
were not due to win yesterday, and
their poor work in the field and at bat

Freddie Welsh is proved in the fact
that the English champion already Is
below the required notch and decided
yesterday that he would ease up in his
work for the day. He took on Kid
Carsey for three rounds and cut out the
boxing part of the program afterwards
until today. He does not bulge the
beam when 1t Is set at 1873 pounds, and
he was much gratined at the ease
with which he had taken off the surplus
poundage in the nine days he has
worked.
He naturally is bit light at the
championship limit, and never has ex-
perienced any difficulty in making the
weight, but he rested for quite awhile
after his fight with Phil Brock and
picked up several pounds He has been
training along strenuous lines since he
began work a bit more than q week ago
and the sea air agrees SO perfectly
with his ideas OF training that he took
off weight faster than ordinarily.
He will hold himself at about the
present notch until after Sunday, when
he begins the final week of training.
Beginning this afternoon he will have
Howard Baker, who gave Peter Sulli-
va such hard fight last Saturday. as
his sparring partner, and Kid Carsey
will continue to box with him also every
afternoon. This pair should give Welsh
all the rough house work he desires
and also should furnish the fans with
plenty Of entertainment each afternoon.
Baker Is a clever boxer, heavier than
Welsh by several pounds, and Is fast
enough to force Welsh to hustle in their
bouts.
Packy worked out with Anslinger
and Adams, a pair of local boys, yes
terday afternoon, entertaining a large
crowd with his gymnasium stunts and
boxing. Packy is feeling good now and
is getting into trim at most satisfac-
tory rate. He would not say how much
he weighed, that being one of his Pc
culiarities, but said that he already is
down as low as he wants to get until
after Sunday. His general appearance
| Is pleasing to his admirers and most
satisfactory to himself and trainer.
Announcement was made last night
that after a conference between the in

Hard Struggle Last Year
Last years race was one of the
grandest ever rowed In the history OF
boating. The varsity eight-oar crew
of Yale beat Harvard's shell across the
winning line by a scant three-quarters
of length. Yale's time was 21 minutes
10 seconds, and Harvard's three sec
onds slower. The course record is 20
minutes 10 seconds, made by the Yale
crew in 1888. The spirit that dis
cropped out in magnificent showing at
the end when Harvard. careening
across the finishing line with three
men fallen, fainting, from their seats,
were cheered again and again by their
triumphant opponents. From the
starters pistol to the very end; the
race was one heart breaking struggle
for an inch of gain. Rowed just at
sundown, with 10000 yelling spectators
watching from trains on both banks,
1t was the most beautiful regatta pic
ture of all those that have been painted
on the bosom Of the Thames.
Harvard bladed faster, last year,
splashed some and spurted oftener
than Yale. Lund. the new man who
