OLD CUSTOM BRINGS TROUBLE
Young Men Try to Force Entrance to
Young Girls Home and
Are Shot.

Four young men have been shot at
Vex (Valais) by an irate father to
whose daughter they had come to pay
court. They were refused admission
to the house and when they tried to
force their way in the father took
down his gun and fired. Two of them
were slightly wounded and the other
two seriously. The father was ar
rested.
The encounter and its almost tragic
ending were due to an ancient custom
which prevails in the villages of the
canton OF Valais and In the Alpine
hamlets of the German cantons. After
a girl has reached the age Of eighteen
her parents are not surprised to re-
ceive the visit Of several young men
after the days work to ask to see
their daughter and pass a pleasant
evening in the family circle. The
visit is looked on as compliment,
and as the young men bring with them
wines and food they are generally
welcomed by the parents. The Gus
tom. which is known as the "Veillee."
results in introductions and often In
marriages.

Cold STORAGE In Europe.

Many of the European cities are fol.
lowing the example of America as re-
CARDS cold storage plants. Paris is
one of the centers where such ques.
tions are now being promoted, and the
Refrigeration society is endeavoring to
bring such questions before engineers
and manufacturers. Not long since
there has been built large cold
storage plant in the suburbs OF Paris
and lying on the North railroad. II
is designed to store home products
which are to be exported as we'll as
foreign products brought in by rail to
be consumed in the city. There are
now eleven cold storage chambers In
operation. A convenient system Is the
use OF an automobile wagon with freez
ing compartments which plies between
the city and the storage house. II
carries the products to the sellers In
town, and also takes back the unsold
products for storage-Scientific Amer
ican.

LITTLE WARS OF THE FRENCH
They Have Two Campaigns on Hand
At Present That May Last
for Years.

While the war in Morocco calls for
10000 men. France still has two other
little wars on her hands with no pros
poets Of complete pacification within
three or four years.
The latest news from Wadal in the
heart Of Sudan shows that in February
the negro tribes affiliated with the Sc
noussia were still fighting fiercely, de-
spite invariable and severe losses.
A serious encounter took place on
February in Darkouti, Just occupied
by the French under Colonel Largeau.
On the previous day a large caravan
from Mecca, in connivance with the
Senoussian chief. Allan Djabou, pre-
sented itself at the intrenched port at
N'dele. protesting peaceful attitude.
At three O'Clock in the morning the
tribesmen. approaching under cover OF
the caravan, opened furious fire on
the French and their native allies. The
battle lasted until eight. when the at
tack broke up in a panic. Allah Dja-
bou was shot in the leg. He left 30
dead on the field and carried off hun
dreds OF wounded.
This is a sample Of a dozen COM
bats recorded in BRIEF dlspatcnes III
the French papers. Reenforcements
are now moving in from the coast to
join Largeau They should reach him
about the middle of August. He will
then have 1900 men. and it is be-
lieved he will soon be able to pacify
central Africa and end the pernicious
activities Of the Senoussia.
The other troubled region is on the
Ivory coast The tribes living near
the Liberian frontier have recently
been brought into order after cam
paign of six weeks in which they lost
heavily, while the French had seven
men wounded.
France has 2.400 native troops un-
der French officers operating in the
region. and expects to have 1t reduced
to order in three years. So far 10000
guns have been captured from natives
and destroyed.

Primitive Law.

The Old Timer looked up from his
rickey, says the San Francisco Chron
icle, and asked: you think that
story on Bill Sims is good one, eh ?"
Good or bad. it's true" well, so is
this" said the Old Timer. "and 1t hap
pened down in Texas by the Rio
Grande. l used to live down that way
awhile, and in the village which
graced with my presence certain old
horse doctor was elected president OF
the peace. What he didn't know about
law was sufficient. He knew nothing;
he should have made an ideal justice
Of the peace. His first case. however,
was that Of man arrested for steal
6ng a horse. Guilty or not guilty"
asked the Justice. Not guilty an.
swered the prisoner Then what the
deuce are you doing here?' demanded

FRANCE PUTS CLOCK BACK
After Standing Out for Many Years
the Country Adopts Stand
ard Time.

After standing out for many years,
France has adopted standard time.
The most the country would do was to
enact in 1891 that the whole of France
should use the time of the meridian
of Paris, instead Of western Euro
pean time, along with England, Spain,
Portugal, Belgium and Holland.
Paris time Is 9 minutes 21 seconds
faster than standard time. and elab-
crate directions were followed out on
the night of March 10 to change the
clocks to the new time. Trains on
the government lines were ordered to
lose minutes 81 seconds somewhere,
SO that If they arrived after midnight
they would not be ahead of time.
Still more revolutionary is the regu-
lation that the train clock within the
station shall be the same as the one
outside. Up to now trains were run
five minutes later than the adver-
tised time. The public has been
warned to count upon this five min.
utes' leeway no longer.

FIND DEPOSIT OF PERIDoTs

Cteopatra's Needle Stood.

A deposit Of peridots has recently
been discovered In Alexandria with

These stones, which are amber in
color, for many years have been found
in large quantities in Upper Egypt.
but never before in this section of the
country. The finder has secured
concession to work the ground. and
has uncovered several thousand Of
these stones, at . depth not greater
than ten feet. It IL believed that the
peridots were buried In the founda-
tions Of houses Of the ancient Egyp-
tians and in tombs as an omen Of
luck.
The stones now found are esti-
mated to have been buried for over
1,500 years. Their value is not great

weight Of three carats being one dol

cession to work ground on the islands

been found there and it is believed
the deposit is a large one never be-

WHEN FISH TAKE THE BAIT
Such 10 the Joy Of Living That All
Other Things Fade and
Die Away.

Look at those two venerable gentle
men floating in skin upon the clear
waters Of Lake George. One OF them
is a successful statesman. an ex-presi-
dent of the United States. lawyer
versed in all the curious eccentricities
of the "lawless science of the law"
The other is a learned doctor Of med
icine. able to give the name to all
diseases from which men have imag-
ined they suffered, and to In
vent new ones for those who are tired
of vulgar maladies.
But all their learning Is forgotten,
their cares and controversies are laid
aside in the "innocuous desuetude.' -
The Summer School of Sociology is
assem- bled. The medical congress Is
in session. But they care not-no, not
as much as the value of single live

What enchantment binds them to

fixes their eyes upon the point OF the
fishing rod. as If it were the finger
of destiny? It is the enchantment OF

reprehend 1t as he chooses. There Is

RECREATIONS :
EVA NUDGE THE BIG
HIT AT THE BlJ0U

An enthusiastic audience greeted
Eva Nudge at the Bijou last night,
where she made her Honolulu debut
Her lightning costume changes were
effected with startling rapidity, and
from being naval officer, she be-
came IA trained nurse, and Immediate
ly stepping into a pretty scene tent,
she emerged as dashing young wo-
man in red. Again she disappeared
and under n strong spotlight quickly
came into view as dashing Nigh
wayman of the 18th century, envel-
oped in dark coat, and wearing
handsome costume of the cavalier
days, concluding with change to
music hall singer. For each char-
acter she had a song. At first TN
audience watched her in critical won
derment, but as each change was
made the enthusiasm grew and when
finally she sang her last note there
was demonstration and she received
two curtain calls. II Is an unusual
act, fascinating as something that IL
new and altogether original, and whiie
her voice at first did not seem to have
that alluring quality to be catchy. 1t
was singing voice that finally was
conceded Just right Hers Is an in
teresting act throughout
The Younger Brothers, as strong
men, gave an exhibition of strength
which was hit while the lions roared
and yielded to their trainer like the
good lions they are. The Bijou bill
this week is unusually strong.

intensity of portrayal, and the Anker
Sisters had many new songs and a
pretty dance, called the Tarantella,
which they executed with grace. The
series of moving pictures and these
alone are well worth seeing even If
there were no vaudeville features.

erect, his shoulders thrown back and
his chest extended, just as nature In.
tended he should, Is rarity, and is
