FRESHMEN EAT LIVE FROGS

and climbed through windows by
means of ladders conveniently at
hand from the recent building opera
lions. All were allowed to put on
clothes, but the more obdurate, who
refused to dress were forced brus-
quely out into the chill night air clad
only in pajamas. Those who were
dressed wore their coats turned
wrongside out and their trousers turn
ed up to their knees. All were blind
folded and marched In military for
nation to the Biological gardens. {"
They were forced to initiate boiling
teakettles, to offer suppication to the
moon, sing songs and cheer for the
sophomore class. They struggled I'M
til breathless with imaginary foes and
were forced to deliver orations on alb
surd subjects.
In the Biological gardens they were
forced to rush furiously through the
shallow ponds overgrown with lilies,
In chase Of frogs and, with the
thought Of frogs wen in their minds,
they we're subjected to the torment Of
imaginary swallowing Of batrachians.

The Soar Of chlna,s Ducks.

Tourists in China are always sur
prised by the number of ducks they
see. There are more dacks In China
than In all the rest of the world. Their
voices are q familiar sound in every
town and country spot of the sea
coast and the interior of the vast EN-.
pire. Even In tie large cities ducks
abound They dodge between the
coolies legs. They fit squawking out
of the way Of the horses. Their in
dfgnant quack will not unseldom drown
the roar Of urban commerce.
Children herd ducks on every road,
on every pond, on every farm, on
every river. There is no backyard
without its duckhouse. There Is no
boat, little or great, without it's duck
quarters.
All over the land there are great
duck Matching establishments, many of
them Of a capacity huge enough to
produce $4,000 young ducks every
year. Duck among the Chinese is a
staple delicacy, 1t is sailed and
smoked like ham or beef.

Unnecessarily Alarmed.

A young lawyer was taking his din
ner out at moderate priced restaur-
ant the other evening. The room was
filled, but there was couple of vacant
seats at the table at which he sat. A
big, fiashy-looking man took one Of
these seats. He ordered ham and
eggs, and proceeded to give finished
performance Of the art of sword swal-
lowing There was a pat of butter
in dish. with ice all around it, in the
center of the table The flashy-look-

individual butter dish. The young
lawyer looked at his vis-a-vis disgust

Look here, my friend" said he,
finally, addressing the man across the
table, do you expect other people to
partake OF that butter after you have
excavated around It In that way?"
The sword swallower looked up at

in the world.

! The Hague, Holland.-The latest
expedition in New Guinea under Prof.
Lorentz, which succeeded in ascend
ing the range of snow mountains, has
published some interesting particulars
about non-Malayan race living to the
south Of the mountains. These people
have Caucasian or European features,
although their color is black They
speak a language entirely different
from that of the surrounding Malayo-
Polyne5ian tribes; indeed, 1t is the
first time that such race and Ian
guage have been encountered in the
Dutch indies.
The people were entirely Ignorant
Of the use of metals before the Dutch
expedition came into their territory;
but once having made the acquain-
lance of European knives, they clam
ored for them and would bring guam
titles of fowls and game, pigs, fruit
and fish to exchange for steel knives
or iron of any description AN their
own implements were of stone, fish

tifully carved. Prof. Laurentz says
that this 10 perhaps the last race of
people existing in the world still in

If, from this fact, it were to be
argued that they must be on very
low level. indeed, It is surprising to
hear that, on the contrary, they ha@e
reached fair standard of civilization.

Several years ago Patrolman Gramp-
ke was detailed at circus that was
performing in Camp Washington. O4e
of the features of the show was cae
falling into the ring of one of the
actors, who pretended to be drunk.
He would then pick himself up and
finally would mount one of the most
spirited horses in the ring. One by
one he would then throw off his gar
ments until he stood forth resplendent
in pink tights.
The first night that Grampke was
on duty the stunt was to be pulled of
as usual, but no sooner had the appar-
emily drunken one gotten into the ring
than Grampke was in after him. He
jerked the performer to his feet and
hustled him outside, where he pro
ceeded to administer good beating.
The other employees of the show
rushed out and finally separated
Grampke from his victim and ex.
planned that it was all joke.
"A joke, is it?" said Grampke, as
he looked at the disheveled man.

GUINEA PEOPLE

They are not nomadic. but live in
well-built villages, where even the
streets are paved. Some tribes use for
this purpose the bark of trees. while
Others simply place palm leaves over
the roads to keep the dust down.
Their villages and houses are kept
clean and near each house gardens
are planted, in which many kinds of
flowers are grown These people are
extremely fond of flowers, and always
wear some in their hair They sue
cessfully practise agriculture, and
their decorative art is Of considerable
beauty.
Strange to say, nothing at all like
any form of government could be de-
tected There are no chiefs, and the
only thing approaching known insti-
buttons is sort of council of the old
est men of the tribe. These, however,
do not rule the people, but their adj
vice is asked in important matters.
Notwithstanding this, the utmost good
order prevails, everything being done
according to custom.
Their family life is peculiar. Every
person dwells alone; the young I'M
married men have separate houses,
the wives have their own homes quite
apart from their husbands. When a
married man wishes to speak to his
wife it is not etiquette for him to go
to her house and call on her, nor to
speak to her when he meets her in
the village. He must inform woman
neighbor Of hers that he wishes to
talk to his wife, and the go-between
then arranges a meeting for them in
the nearby forest Taking these facts
into consideration 1t is not surprising
to learn that domestic peace is never
disturbed, occasions for quarreling be-
ing extremely rare.

race the Kaya-Kaya. because on meet

ADJUSTMENTS.

Philadelphia.-The latest device for
torturing freshmen at the University
of Pennsylvania is to blindfold the
victim, and, after propping open his
mouth with small oblong block, to
tell him that he is on the verge of
having frog dropped down his throat,
and then In its stead to feed him a
large raw oyster. Raw eggs are used
when oysters are not available. This
method was found to work effectively
after twenty blindfolded freshmen
had been forced to chase frogs in the
lily ponds in the biological gardens.

three "freshies" we're introduced to
