Housekeeping In Papua.

European housekeeping in Papua is
charmingly simple. Everything arriv-
ed in a tin, for the most part ready for
us. Meat, milk. butter, vegetables-all
stood in tins in neat rows in the store
room. A diet of timed stuffs grew
rather monotOnOus at times. but we
were able occasionally to vary it..
Sometimes a man would arrive with a
live turtle, which he would sell for tive
sticks of tobacco. costing threepence.
The wretched turtle would be killed
and cut up. but would still insist on
ouivering in a most realistic manner
even when placed on the fire to cook.
Then. too. if the season was a good
one. the kitchen would be found lined
with joints of wallabies. and 1t would
be hard to know what to do with sc
much fresh meat-Wide World Maga

When Waking Up.

Here is a bit of INFORMATION it will
pay you to keep ready for reference,
though you viii perhaps turn up your
nose at it at the first reading: How
to wake up and wake UP fully and
quickly. Most people prefer not to
wake up in the morning-that is, they
think of the pleasure there would be
in just five minutes more of sleep ii
only that alarm clock had not sound
ed its warning. OF course you have
to get up, and if there is really any
thing that will make the job easier and
more pleasant you will want to know
about it. Doctors have long ago agreed
that dullness on first awakening in
the morning is due to sluggish circu-
latiOn of the blood in the brain. This
can be quickly overcome by massaging
the neck in the neighborhOCd of the
jugular vein. thus stirring the blood
to life and action. Rub your neck
we'll on both sides and drOwsiness will
leave you. Try it."-New York Times.

German Lotte les.

In an article on the lotteries the Ber-
liner Tageblatt says there are three
ways by which wealth is acquired-by
work, which is long and tedious; by
dishonesty, which is a precarious pro
ceeding, and by gambling. The num-
Der of persons who prefer the last
named method, says the writer, is
large in the German realm, for there
the great lotteries thrive best. There
are seven of these under the manage
ment of the government. and they dis
tribute $16O.OOOOOO in prizes The anx-
iety to secure a part of this amount
has destroyed the happiness of thou
sands of households and has diverted
thousands Of good men from honest
industry and thrift to idleness and
poverty. In the seven lotteries there
are about 22,OOO winners a year, but
of these only about $50 receive prizes
Of more than 1000 marks each.
