A Toast.

AT one time the officers under Lord
Howe refused to drink his health at
their mess, for, though q splendid ad-
miral, he was not popular in the navy
on account of a certain shyness and
want Of tact with those about him.
The chaplain, who was a protege of
his lordship, was mortified at this and
determined that the officers should
drink to Lord Howe. When called
upon for a toast n day he said, We'll,
gentlemen, I can think Of nothing bet
ter at this moment than to ask you to
drink the first two words Of the Third
Psalm, for n Scriptural toast for once
may be taken from me of my CLOTH"
The toast was drunk. Not one Of the
officers indicated by word or look that
he was ignorant of the words alluded
to. On referring to the Bible it was
found that the Third Psalm begins,
"Lord, how are they increased?"

A LIFE FOR A LIFE.
Cheerful New Guinea Custom Which
Causes Frequent Murders.

NauSCS frequent mUFOGTS.
Everywhere in New Guinea the
traveller is continually brought face to
face with death. and the natives are
devoid of the slightest pity or respect
for the dead or dying. although after
a death they will often wall and
mourn for q considerable time.
Murder is an everyday occurrence,
and nothing could be worse than The
morals Of the natives. In fact, they
have none. They thieve and lie with
IL persistence and cunning which are
surprising.
The Papuans have a cheerful GUS
tom which demands a life for a life.
Should any one die at the first oppor-
tunity they kill some One-they are not
very particular whOm-to make up for
it. "NVhile we were at Humboldt
bay" a Y Professor Pratt in the Wide
World Magazine, ga Malay died of
dropsy. He was the first Malay who
had ever come to that part, and the
Papuans greatly respected him.
every WE'LL they said, we must
shoot a Malay with our bows and ar
rows to pay for his DEATH And SOON
or or later some innocent person would
be killed to square the account, when
everybody-except, presumably, the
victims friends-would be satisfied"

Worth Her Weight In Butter.

Curious customs still prevail with
regard to marriage. In some parts Of
Uganda the custom is to offer six
needles and a pack of india rubber for
a wife. Some of the naffirS sacrifice
oxen. The Tartars of Turkestan give
the weight of the prospective wife in
butter. In Kamchatka the price a

MINERAL POINT.

T~HA ARE in Mineral Point is
Il a we'll known fact. A few years ago a house of six or
seven rooms could be had at a rental of from 81 to So
per mouth. Houses of like size cannot now be obtained for less
than from $40 to $12 per month. The householder who is with
out a home of his own is, therefore, called upon. to solve a serious
problem. He must either buy a home, or prepare to pay in
creased and increasing rents. Those who contemplate buying
property in Mineral Point will find the present an opportune
time to do 50. The great Zinc Works are not only here to stay,
but it is more than probable that in addition to the completion Of
the extensive improvements which are now under way, additions
will be made to the plant from year to year. And this means a
great deal for Mineral Point; but it also means that the value
of real estate will advance, and that in consequence rents will
continue high.
