The lieutenant governor of the
British portion of New Guinea mas
returned to London for a brief boL-
day and made his countrymen
flesh creep with tales of cannlballSn
as still practiced by natives under
his jurisdiction. The interior OF
New Guinea is perhaps the largest
terra incognita remaining on the
earth's surface, and, according TO
Governor Murray, it hides many
mysteries.
The native Papuans are divided
into many distinct tribes primltlVe
and barbarous, but in some respects
Of high native intelligence. Ihey
are easily won over from barbarlsm
and induced to take up some form
Of employment. The governor DUR
ing his trips into the interior hearq
constantly of a race Of long talleo
pygmies who dwelt just over the
mountains, but exploration always
brought the answer that they were
Just further on.
The interior Papuan village Wnol-
ly consists of single building

about 20 feet hight. 1t is divided
into tunnel-like compartments cap

1easts take place. Governor Mur-

Many of the tribes have their

NINE LOCKS TO THE BOIL
SHOWS WHAT CAN BE DONE BY
SEED SELECTION.
Ebert County Farmer Gets Double
Yield of Cotton After Three Years
OF Seed Improvement.

vi oeeu Improvement.
Assistant Commissioner of Agri-
culture Robert F. Wright has receiv-
ed by express several boIls of Winn S
Improved Roudon cotton, which was
grown by E. c. Teasley at his farm
near Bowman, in Ebert county. The
bOlls are the largest that have ever
been seen in the department and in
stead of the usual number of four
locks of lint to the boil, each one of
these sent contains nine locks.
This is undoubtedly the finest
cotton that / have ever seen" said
Captain Wright, and it illustrates
the value of careful culture and Sc
lection of seed in the growing of
farm products. Mr. Teasley writes
me that he has been selecting his
seed for the past three years in
order to get this result, and he has
done admirably well. The improved
Roudon is an unusually fine cotton,
anyway, but Mr. Teasley tells me
that after he had planted his first
selection Of seed three years ago,
he went through his field after his
cotton mad opened and was ready to
be picked and selected the largest
number of locks. These he had
ginned separately and the next sea-
son he planted the seed in a diff
ferent patch from his other cotton.
That fall he went through the same
process of selection, taking only
those that had a large number of
locks and then again the next year,
which finally resulted in his securing
the unusually fine specimens which
] have here. From this planting, 1
estimate that he will secure more
lint than he would from the ordi-
nary kind, as, according to the num-
Der of locks contained in each of
these bolls he can gin out just
double the amount he would from
the other kind"

support of her manifold activities
Born in a cultured home in New
York city and educated with care she
showed early a remarkable avidity
for study and superior literary
tastes.
She was but 22 years of age when
she came to Boston and met Dr.
Samuel Gridley Howe, the great
philanthropist, and two years later
they were married. From that time
until DR.. Howes death in 1876 this
remarkable couple showed a never

Man Slept in Lions Cage Rather

A lion tanner at state fair in

coward because, rather than face
her after going on a spree, he went
into a lions cage and slept all night
with his head on the animals back.
There are different degrees of cour-

ON THE SANDWICH PLAN

have known instances in which the
process of cooking is done over a
fire, the body being sandwiched be
tween two layers of sage. Some of
the tribes have a weakness for eat
ing babies and organize raids on
neighboring villages for the purpose
of Kidnapping infants.
Discussing other characteristics,
Governor Murray says:
81 do not think the average Pa
puan has the slightest fear of death.
I have known a native when charged
with murder to fall fast asleep with
in five minutes of the beginning of
the trial. As judge I have sentenced
a man to death while he yawningly
reminds me that he was tired OF
the whole legal formality.
"The male Papuan is more or
less the creature of Incidence, but
directly he is taken in hand he be-
comes disciplined with astonishing
readiness. Ask a native in his prim-
tive days to fetch a wheelbarroW
and he Immediately takes it up IN
his arms and handles it as fond
mother would carry child. l have
seen Papuan men when first given
a spade lay it on the ground, pile
the soil on it with both hands and
then gaze at it in bewilderp'ent. A
few months later their working
faculty has developed most intel
ligently.
Papuans Great Linguists.
CAS- a matter of fact, they are
sensible people and in many re-
spects highly sensitive as well. AS
linguists they have few equals. Near
" every tribe has it's own language,
not merely a variation of some moth
er tongue. and | have met natives
who could speak seven or elghV
languages. :. :
I'm one part of the island it IS
comnulsOrv that the wife shall speak
one language and the husband an
other. They know both, OF course
but they maintain the tradltlohal
custom as though their existence
depended upon it,
There is another singular tralt
associated with this tribe. Althou9h
they understood two languages u Is
essential that they should speak
third while engaged in fishing ex-
ploits. They periodically visit
neighboring island, which they make
their temporary abode while the
fishing excursion lasts.
"All sorts of dreadful things
await the Papuan who neglects to
make use of this third language, and
disaster would overwhelm the en-
tire tribe if in an unguarded mo-
ment any one mentioned the number
seven.
"Why the demons of destruction
should be liberated by so simple an
utterance does not permit OF eXpla-
nation, even by the most profound
Papuan. but the awe inspired by the
mysteric word is very real, indeed.
