pApuAN COURTESY.
Husbands Beat Each Of Their Wives
With q Different Club.

The marriage customs of the Pap
uans are somewhat similar to those
of many other savage races. The GER
emony is largely matter of purchase.
The men marry when they are about
eighteen years of age and the girls at
fourteen or even earlier.
When young lake man desires TO
get married he visits the father of his
prospective bride and puts forward
his personal belongings as an induce
ment to the father to consent to the
union.
If a man has gun he is n great per-
sonage and can demand anything, but
besides their bows and arrows and
spears most of the the Papuans have
very little. Even agricultural produce
is scarce. the only cultivation under
taken being on very primitive scale.
A little clearing is made by both
men and women, and the women then
grow bananas and sweet potatoes.
The men are always armed, and when
the women go to the patch to attend
to their crops or gather the produce
the men go with them as a protection.
The women, however. do the work.
Many families have bundle Of an
cient Portuguese cloth centuries old.
and when n young man Is seeking a
bride one Of these heirlooms is gener-
ally part of the deal. The youth and
the girls father haggle over the mar
riage until eventually they agree to
terms, and then the thing is done.
The men are not limited to one wife.
and once a girl is married she Is sub
ject to her husband In everything and
Is practically his slave.
I'm another part of New Guinea"
says writer In the Wide World mag
azine, 81 remember distinctly strong
confirmation of the custom which
places a woman at the entire mercy
Of her husband. At one house I visit
ed saw standing outside the doorway
three huge stone clubs. each large
enough to fell bullock.
"On making inquiries I found that
they tailed with the number of wives
owing allegiance to the householder
The clubs were used by the man to
beat his wives with If they annoyed
him. The quaint part Of 1t was that
while the women seemed to raise no
objection to being fogged unmerciful-
ly by their lord and master they
would not be beaten with the same
weapon as that used on another wo-
man. so the native kept a separate club
for each wife"

DEATH IN THEIR WORK.
Dangers That Beset Those Who Toll
In Alkal; Factories.


Do you like your work?
When you are inclined to be discon-
tented with II think of the alkali work
ers. They die by inches from the mo-
ment they enter the factories. Things
are not so bad now as they once were,
but they are bad enough still.
In what Is known as the 'black ash"
department In chemical works big
open vats Of caustic are used. The
splashing of this caustic sends drops
Of the burning fluid flying through the
air. A drop. falling upon naked flesh
causes bad burn. A drop in the eye
will blind 1t forever II the stuff is not
removed within few seconds.
A black ash worker In a Welsh al
kali factory, toiling at the caustic pots,
received an invisible globule of this
deadly spray in his eye. There was
no water at hand with which to wash
out the caustic. 1t seemed that he
must surely go blind. But one of his
mates seized on the Injured man. who
was quite frantic with pain. lifted his
eyelid with forefinger and thumb and
with his tongue licked out the caustic.
He burned his tongue badly. but he
saved the other poor fellows sight.
Another of the dangers that beset the

all-is poisoning by chlorine acid gas

thin green fumes, is known to the men
