SHE DIGS; HE WATCHES.
The Papuan Makes His Wife Labor
While He Loafs.

"When the natives are young
they are quick to learn and can be
taught almost any kind of work, and
even up to the time of their mar
riage they are willing to learn. Aft
er marriage their ambition and in,
tellectual development appear to
cease. One of the reasons for this
seems to be that the woman does
most of the work. while the man,
being the superior animal. can see
no necessity for further exertion.
says the Hon. j. G. Jenkins, speak
ing of Papua and the Papuans. ''He
plays the part of her protector to
perfection. While she digs in the
garden he leans against tree with
his spear in his hand apparently
prepared to keep off intruders, but
really because it is easier than do
ing the digging.
E'Their wants are small, and they
generally take no thought for the
morrow. Sufficient for the day is
the food thereof 80 long as the wo-
man provides it. Women are fire.

Gus collection of foodstuffs such as
yams, bananas and sugar cane in a
net bag swung over their back, and
in many instances podgy infant in
natures garh is perched on top Of
the provisions.
s'lf the women are accompanied
by their husbands you will find
these gallant braves dressed in mas
culine authority and a native spear
slowly leading the way or leisurely
following. There is no necessity for
expensive divorce courts to settle
family disagreements among the ma
tives. If married man finds that
his wife displeases him or if she is
too frivolous or lazy or does not
cook we'll or do her garden work
properly he simply turns her out.
Neither is woman very perma-
nently tied to her husband, for she
can leave him on her own accord.
but if she marries again her second
husband has to pay something to
her first husband and his friends.
A pig, a wallaby, some yams or ba-
nanas generally settle the claim.
CAT one time no doubt all the ma
tives practiced cannibalism, but now
all the central and eastern tribes
have given it up. In the western
part it is still practiced, and it is
not safe to visit some of the native
villages there unless properly guard
ed and we'll armed. Life is not val
used very highly by the natives, as
a rule. Although they possess GER
tain kind of rough love and affec-
ton for each other, it is rather Of a
transient character.
eff a man dies they mourn for
him whole night, but if woman
dies an hour or two of wailing
seem to meet the case. Parents
sell their daughters to other ma
tives for a small consideration, and
few sticks of tobacco would be
sufficient to induce married man
to part with one or more of his
wives" London Globe.

The high school matter is some
what dormant during the heated
term, but some progress is being
made in the way of securing a site.
Many leading property holders have
expressed their willingness to under
take the burden of indebtedness.
There are no obstacles in the way
that may not be easily overcome.
1t is only necessary to continue the
agitation as vigorously as possible,
and eventually this sleepy old town
will wake up. When thoroughly
awake the high school will follow
as naturally as the course of other
events of less ortance.

that the business depression is a
thing Of the past. He reported
that large capital in the East is look

the Pacific Coast country appeared
to offer the most promising field.
According to Mr.. Roberts, the con-

was of the opinion that Congress
ought to be more liberal with re.
