PAPUAN COURTESY.
Husbands Beat Each Of Their Wivee
With q Different Club.

With 4 Different Club.
The marriage customs of the Pap
uans are somewhat similar to those
Of many other savage races. The Ger.
emory 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 a 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.
II man has gun he is a 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
70 scarce, the only cultivation under
taken being on 4 very primitive scale.
A little clearing il made by both
men and women, and the women then
grow bananas and sweet potatoes,
The men are always armed, and when
the women 60 to the patch to attend
10 their crops or gather the produce
the men 60 with them AZ protection
The women, however, do the work.
Many families have a bundle Of an
dent Portuguese cloth centuries old,
and when a young man 10 seeking q
beide ono Of these feirlooms IL gener-
ally part Of the deal. The youth and
he girls father haggle over the mar
rage until eventually they agree to
terms, and then the thing IL done.
The men are not limited to one wife,
and once Z girl is married she Il sub

Gays q writer In the Wide World mag
azine, II remember distinctly strong
confirmation Of the custom which
places a woman at the entire mercy
Of her husband. At one house I visit
"a saw standing outside the doorway
three huge stone clubs, each large
enough to fell bullock.
"On making inquiries 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 II they annoyed
him. The quaint part Of 1t was that
while the women seemed to raise no
objection to being fogged unmerciful.
y BY their lord and master they
would not be beaten with the Same
weapon as that used on another wo-
man, 50 the native kept separate club
for each WiAe."

Customs Of the Old English Court o.
Forest Rsqarders.

The great forests Of England were
for centuries royal property. They
were kept from settlement and en-
croachment by the strictest laws and
the severest penalties. To enforce the
laws a great number Of officials were
appointed. There were warders, ver-
derers, foresters and regarders, and
there were special courts to try cases
Of trespass, poaching and like ohensea

dwelt in the neighborhood.
THE regarders used to take a survey
Of the forest every third year, and in
their train went a number Of boys col.

vicinity. The boys were chosen be-
cause it was held that the memories
Of the young are good. Yet it was
found to be desirable to impress them

Nothino to Do.


The following bit, quoted from Lord
Cromer by Helen Barrett Montgomery
In her western Women In Eastern
Lands" presents a picture Of the mo-
notony and deprivation Of the life Of
the Egyptian lady that pages Of Stats
tics might fail to convey: The seclu-
sion Of women exercises a most bane
full influence on eastern society. This
seclusion by combining the sphere Of
woman's interest to a very limited no
rizon cramps the intellect and withers
the mental Development Of one-haH the
population Of Moslem countries.
An Englishwoman once asked an
Egyptian lady how she passed her
time.
II sit on this sofa," she replied, and
when am tired I cross over and sit
on that"

During one Of those terrible storms
which periodically sweep the shores
Of Formosa an American vessel was

consul thereupon journeyed inland to
the savage territory In order to make
terms with the cannibals for future

Unfortunately the chiefs refused to
listen and would have nothing to do
with the agreement prepared for their

The consul was irritated by their OBJ

stress of excitement he occasionally
slipped the eye out for moment, rub

DEATH IN THEIR WORK.
Dangers That essst Those Who Toll

Do you like your work?
When you are inclined to be discon-
tented with it think Of the alkali work

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 a bad burn. A drop In the eye
will blind It forever If 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. It seemed that he
must surely 60 blind. But one Of his
mates seized on the injured man, who
was quite frantic with pain, lifted bis
eyelid with forednger and thumb and
with his tongue licked ont the caustic.
He burned his tongue badly, but he
saved the other poor fellows sight.

SOURCES OF PERFUMES.

Most women who indulge freely In
the use of cheap perfumes do not
know of what they are compounded.
The principle ingredient of low-priced
perfumes is musk, animal musk, which
Is obtsined from several creatures.
Tho muskrat is probably the best
known of these, and few decades
ago the wives and sweethearts of men
who set traps around bitches and
ponds in the country side carried
proudly the bags of musk obtained
from this source. AS an article of
commerce the musk supplied by sew
eral varieties of civet cats is probably
the best known today. The odorE II
strong and sweet. The strength is
the particular noticeable feature and
is the reason why it is the foundation
of the perfumes. In the small NAM
NAL house of the geological gardens
are two sizes of civets, and anyone
with an investigating turn of mind
may stand near the cages and catch
he musky odor.
The musk is used in the cheap per-
umes. as only little is needed to
i've a most lasting odor to an ounce

HE'S THE ORIGINAL CROUCH
Surely Would Be Hard to Please Old
Gentleman With This Kind Of
Disposition.

There is in Washington an old
"grouch" whose son was graduated
from Yale. When the young man
came home at, the end of the first
term, he exulted in the fact that he
stood next to the head of his class.
But the old gentleman was not salts
fed.
Next to the head!' he exclaimed.
what do you mean? I'd like to know
what you think I'm sending you to
college for? Next to the head! Why
aren't you at the head, where you
ought to be?"
At this the son was much crestfal-
len; but upon his return, he went
about his work with such ambition
that at the end of the term he found
himself in the coveted place. When
he went home that year he felt very
proud. II would be great news for
the old man. *: =

few minutes in silence; then, with a
shrug, he remarked:

lie HAD THEM in A CORNER
CIergyman's Rebuke to Thoughtless
Youths at Once Neat and
Disconcerting.

A well-known clergyman was one
day in BARRIERS shop, when four OF
five young men walked in whom he
knew by their voices, but who did not
recognize the man in the chair, with
lather all over his face. They pro
ceeded to spend the time by telling
stories and using expressions which,
to say the least, were rather strong
When the barber pulled away the
towel the clergyman, cleanly shaved,
stood before them. SO nonplussed
were they that no one tried to take
the vacant chair, and the barber
called several times-"Next gentle
man! Next gentleman"
The clergyman smiled somewhat
grimly as he said:
"It isn't bit of use, John. There's
not a man here who has the effront-
cry to answer to that name"

NOVEL CITY DECORATION.

The city of San Francisco has a
novel scheme on hand for the general
Frightening of city life. Ornamental
lamps, gorgeous with real floral deco
rations, kept green and fragrant per
petually in flower boxes, suspended
midway between top and bottom Of
the lamp standards, have to be erect
ed on the main streets. The flowers
which will adorn the lamp standards
will be watered and cared for by an
automatic arrangement, the mere
pressing of button being sufficient
to perform the deed.

WHERE EGGS ARE CHEAP.

China swarms with hens, and they
are patient, steady, busy wonders
just like the Chinese himself. Only
g few years ago eggs were sold in
the open ports of the Yangste at four
to FIVE "cash" each. But you know
bucketful Of that old copper "cash"
was worth only cent or so in our
coin. Eggs at four and five cents
cash" apiece meant. In United
States money, about two cents q
dozen. Higher prices now, with the
new Chinese coin, but eggs are still
abundant along the Yangste at four
to five and ore-half cents dozen (of
our money!, and even in Shanghai at
five to six and one-half cents q
