Streets.

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 a non-Malayan rae 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 Malaga
Polynesian tribes; indeed, it is the
first time that such a race and Ian
guage have been encountered i'm 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. All their
own implements were Of stone, fish
tifully carved. Prof. Laurentz says
that this is perhaps the last race of
people existing In the world still in
the "stone age"
If. from this fact, 1t were to be
argued that they must be on a very
low level. indeed. it Is surprising to
hear that, on the contrary, they have
reached a fair standard of civilization.

Preparation for Milking.

they clean the milk vessels. This is .

BIG BEAR KILLED BY WOMAN
Mrs. Weston Adams of ~Stoneham, Me-,
Outruns Bruin, Gets Rifle, and
Shoots Pursuer.

Norway, Me.-The bravest woman
in Stoneham. near Norway. is Mrs.
Weston Adams, who has lain low the
biggest bear seen hereabouts for many
years.
Alone, blueberrying, on Spreckland
mountain, Mrs. Adams, q frail but cour-
ageous woman of so years, ran across
Bruin in a startling manner She had
nearly filed her pail with berries when
she heard an angry growl and looking
up saw a huge black bear standing
on a ledge less than 20 feet away.
Mrs. Adams stood her ground. She
knew that to run would be a signal
for the bear to attack. The bear
growled ferociously. and Mrs. Adams
tried to drive it away by shaking her
pail Of berries at it.
Fearing that the pear would attack
her any moment, the brave little wom-
an did some quick thinking. She re-
membered that bears cannot run fast
down a steep hill and knowing that
her rife was below her she waited I'M
til the bear had turned it's head, at.
tracted by a noise further up the
! mountains, and then she ran for her
life.
She planned 1t we'll. Bruin angrilv
pursued her. but Mrs. Adams had a
good start, because of it's numbering
gait the bear could not overtake her.
Just in the nick of time Mrs. Adams
came to the tree where she had left
her rifle, ard taxing steady aim sent
a bullet into the oncoming bear.

CHICAGO FISH ESCAPE HOOKS
5000 Black Bass In Lincoln Park to
Be unmoIested-Bison Foreteii
Hard Winter.

Chicago.-Shade Of Izaak Walton
and piscatorial enthusiasts, hear We
this-6.000 black bass have been
planted in the ponds of Lincoln park.
but there isn't any fishing yet.
This announcement Is made by Cy
De Vry, who looks after the veal of
animal kind and the birds and fishes in
the great pleasure ground.
In former years the custom has been
to permit fall fishing in the ponds,
but this year there will be none of that
because it is the intention oil the park
authorities to encourage the bass ven-
ture-this on the word and authority
of Cy De Vry.
Yes. sir, we are going to have the
finest black bass in these ponds to be
found any where" he said. Il got the
idea some time ago that the ponds
could get along very well without bull
heads. goldfish and the like. and the
result is that the commissioners got
busy and We procured several thou
sand bass from the Illinois fish COM
mission. We emptied 5000 in the
north pond, and the balance went into
the south pond"
Having disposed of the subject of
fish. the head animal keeper turned to
the more weighty one of mammals in
the zoo.
See the buffalo. the elk and the
moose" he said. They are taking on
their fur much earlier this year. and
that means we are in for a long and a
cold winter. | have been watching
those animals and the bears and the
rest of the furry tribe for several
weeks, and their hides present every
indication of an early winter.
Il see this. too, In the behavior OF
the beavers. The little fellows are
becoming more FESTIVE and | rather
imagine they would prefer the job of
building their bark houses up in the
northern country than posing here in
Lincoln park for the amusement and
instruction of the public. Let the
coal men cheer up, for, as | have said,
there Will be a long winter and a big
crop of ice"

NEW 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
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 irsti-
tutions is a 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 un-
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 a 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.

For people who wear their hair

NINE GOOD RULES FOR DAIRY
Regulations Given at Meeting in Bos
ton by p. M. Harwood for Prop
err Care of Milk.

At a meeting held in Boston In the
interest of pure milk, under the aus
pices of the state board of agriculture,
the Woman's Municipal league of
Boston, the Massachusetts Agricui-
tural college and the state dairy
bureau. nine good rules for the care
of milk were given by p NJ. Har-
wood.
1. Take in milk and cream as soon
as possible after being left at your
door and place in the refrigerator.
2. Keep milk and cream cold until
ready for use. The bottom of the re-
irigerato- Is colder than the ice con-
tainer.
3. If ice cannot be had, wrap the
bottle in a wet cloth and stand 1. in a
aish of water by an open window, out
Of the sun; evaporation of the water
will cool the milk
4. Keep milk or cream covered un-
III wanted, and in the bottle In which
It Is delivered; In open bowls or
pitchers they will absorb odors from
lood and collect flies and dust.
s. Pour from the bottle only what
milk or ream is needed for immedi-
lite use.
6. Milk or cream that has become
warm should be poured back In
10 the bottle of cold milk.
Z. Utensils used for milk should be
cleansed with cold water and then
with boiling water. thoroughly drained
and allowed to become cold before be-
Ing filled with milk.
s. Wash and return all milk or
cream bottles daily.
8. Have a separate quart of milk
Tor the baby. what he does not use
others may have.
