Cannibal Custom

From the Boston Post.
 The Rev. Albert c. Adams of Cincin- nati, returning on the Leyland liner Winfredian after eight years of mis- sionary work among the eating tribes of Africa, was held up by the customs inspectors because of a tusk Of black ivory he had in his possession valued at thousands of dollars.
 He was obliged to sign a sworn state rlent that this rema rkable curio had been in his possession more than one year, and that he really considered it to be part of his household effects With this he was allowed 10 bring it in un- taxed
 He explained that converted cani- bal living ct the coast missionary sta tiun along the inland border of the Ger man province on the West African coa st had packed up his belongings and he really didn't know just what he did have along with him in the big pack ing case which attracted the attention of the customs inspectors. but supposed 1t was all right to call the whole bus ' .r~ss household effectsi and let it go at that.
 The customs inspectors, who insisted on having a cooper pry off the iron straps and chop open the case was at first inclined to make a seizure when he discovered the contents, but was finally convinced by the missionary explanation that 1t was all the result of q misunderstanding
 The Rev. and Mrs. Adams are anxious to get back to their friends after their long absence in the wilds of Africa, so the inspectors had the missionary make the sworn statement The question may be put upsto the Washington authori- ties for a ruling.

Mark Twain and the Kaiser

From Chronicle and Comment Tn ihe
 June Bookman.
 It was among the Germans and the Scandinavians that Mark Twain found most complete and ready response. AS early as 1872 he secured Tauchnitz of Leipsig for his continental agent. Ger man translations soon appeared of 'The Jumping Frog and Other Stories QS74, "The Gilded Age qs7D, "The Innocents Abroad" ns75), "The New Pilgrim s Progress" NS75), "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer'' OS7G. A few years later his sketches many of them, were translated into virtually all printed languages, mo- teblv unto Russian and modern Greek; and his more extended works gradually came to be translated into German. French, Italian, and the languages of Denmark and the Scandinavian penin- snla. Mark Twains stories of the Argo- nauts. his narratives of the wild freedom of the life on the Mississippi appealed to the Germanic passion for the fantastic and the grotesque In Vienna Mark Twain was feted In an unprecedented manner and received honors never paid to a German writer In Berlin the Kaiser bestowed upon him the most distinguish ed marks of his esteem. When the com mand to dinner came from the Kaiser Mark Tw1jn's young daughter refaarked that if il went on like this there soon would be left no one for him 10 become scuuainted with but God. Mark 5aid that it seemed uncomplimentary to regard him as unso oquainted in that quarter; but, of course his daughter wts young and the young are inclined to jump at conclu- | siunS,

Tim Murphy's' Hit

From the New York Evening Sun
 By the way. what has become of Mrs. Fiske's press agent? Assuredly he lost what was one of the opportunities of his life for booming that exceptionally clever little comedy Mrs. Bumstead Leigh, when he failed to inform the public at large that Mir. Tim Murphy had succeeded MT. Henry Dixey in the role of Peter Swallow, the monument agent. MT. Murphy is so raV an actor and plays new role-or for that matter plays even an old role-here 50 rarely that the chance of seeing him is always good deal of a treat, but in this in stance he gives much more than good portrayal, his Peter Swallow is a cre- alton.
 The role has never been played be- fore. and probably never will be played again. If he gives up the role at the end of this season. But Mrs. Fiske, if sne is wise. won't let him do that TO Mrs. Bumstead- Leigh" his services are absolutely invaluable. When the role

 There Is no danger of harm coming 10. a white person living in Kamerun, or even 200 miles inland among the Mems if the natives are treated well, said Mrs. Adams. We have travelled about the country for eight years and never had any trouble. The fact is the cannibals don't eat people because they Nike the flavor, but merely to show their disdain.

Pumice

From the New York Sun.
 The geological survey says that the pumice produced in the United States in 1909 was of the value of s33, ,4S9, and the value of the pumice imported was nearly three times as great The native supply comes principally from deposits in Hardin and Lincoln counties, Nebraska.
 Pumce is an acid volcanic rock, which may be in either massive or finely com minuted form. It owes it's peculiar DOT ous, vesicula or pumiceous condition to the rapid expansion of included moisture or gases due to sudden release of press- ure at the time of It's election from ..-s volcano. This expansion may be carried to such an extent that the rock is com pletely shattered, and the resultant finely powdered material may be carried to un- known distances by. wind and air cur rents. and then deposited ip beds several feet thick. The Nebraska deposits are considered to have originated in this way.

Don't miss seeing MT Mur sply in this role. Even if you should have seen Mrs. Fiske and her merry little comedy two or three times a- ready, go once again before she closes on Saturday just for the sake of see ing MT. Murphy's delicious work. It will amply repay you.

 MT. Dixey's performance was praised by nearly all the reviewers, but the playwright was rightfully accused of having let the plot of the piece fall more or less to pieces at this particu- lar point. Go and see this episode as Mir. Murphy handles it anda you will have to acknowledge that this scene, which used to clog the action. now has become the most notable and delightful

We are not speaking now so much of the final scene in the act, where Swallow and Mrs. B.-Leigh come fact to face and the would-be English woman, strong in the conviction of her own guilt, routs the tombstone man utterly and nconti- nently, but of the whole episode in which Swallow figures.
