HIndoo Sailor and His Chicken.

A London hospital doctor relates the
following story:
'T recall an amusing incident in
connection with a Hindoo sailor. He
was very anaemic and meat was or
dered for his diet.
1T was finally learned through an
Interpreter that he would eat chick,
en- If it were brought to him alive and
he were allowed to wiring its necA
after a bloodless manner of his own
With some difficulty a live chicken
was procured and taken to the patient
behind a screen in the ward.
1.-THE bird escaped and flew directly
over the bed of a partly delirious ne
gro, who thought his time had comel
He leaped out of bed and gave chase
wildly shouting hallelujah!' and in Z
moment the whole ward was in a tuT
moil, in the effort to calm the excited
negro the astonished chicken and thS
disappointed Hindoo who saw himself
being so suddenly deprived Of his
meal!"

RAna Goes Altruism.

Because he was too soft hearted to
ask hfs p5verty-stricken landlady to
buy new rugs for his room, the al
truistio ylung man bought several
small rugg and spread them over the
floor. Immediately after the next
sweeping day she presented a bill for
the weeks expenditures. Items, room
rent, breakfasts, laundry and beating
rugs, 25 cents.
Hello" said the altruistic young
man, what does this mean?"
"Just what it says" she returned.
"If folks must cover their floor with
extra rugs they'll have to pay for
beating EN-, that's all. I can't afford
to do It for nothing"
And from that moment altruism lost
a disciple.

connections and sprinkling, for less
than a dollar a month.
Sleeping porches in Winfield are
now the rule rather than the excep-
tion. When a new house is erected
sleeping porch is provided for as
a matter of course.
NJ. W. Friedenburg, president of the
state board of pharmacy, is preparing
to outdo all the others in sleeping
porches. He will construct a big
sleeping porch extending around
three sides of his residence. The
porch will have have guest rooms,
divided by screens.
Several citizens last summer start
ed a new departure in outdoor living.
A small house, half canvas and half
screening, with canvas roof and floor,
is erected on the lawn and the mem
bers of the family spend much Of
their time there, instead of in the
house.
Winfield Is becoming known as a
fresh-air town as well as a center Of
learning, and isn't certain Of which
it is proudest.

Madang country, a hitherto unex-

waters Of the Batang Yayan, Rejang

the Madangs, a warlike tribe of Ken
yahs who by constant raids had be-
come the terror of all the surrounding
country.
after a journey through the most
picturesque country we arrived at the
principal Madang village" writes DR..
Hose in Travel and Exploration.
This village, which contained about
1000 people, consisted Of nine long
houses, forming a circle the center of
which had been cleared of shrubs and
trees. For a considerable radius out
side this ring the jungle had been
felled and the land was farmed on
that side which was more or less
bounded by the river. The settlement,
it was evident, had been laid out on a
plan best calculated to resist attack

the State Department along the lines
projected.
Easily the most important outcome
of this reorganization, which has but
lately become an accomplished fact,
is the creation of four new Offices or
bureaus known respectively as the
Division Of Latin-American Affairs,
the Division of Far Eastern Affairs,
the Division Of Near Eastern Affairs
and the Division Of Western European
Affairs. AS the reader may surmise
from the titles of these new branches
Of the government, each will have
jurisdiction over one important sec
ton of the globe and the purpose of
this new order of things is to enable
our government officials to specialize
just as men specialize In any other
walk in life.
Every effort has been made to en-
list the services in these four bureaus
Of men who have wide knowledge Of
conditions in the quarters Of the
globe with whose affairs they are to
deal For instance, Mr. Thomas c.
Dawson, who launched the Division Of
Latin-American Affairs, has spent
most of his life in Central and South
America. He was for seven years
connected with the U. S. legation in
Brazil and married a prominent Bra
lillian woman Then he saw service
as U. s. Minister to San Domingo, u.
8. Minister to Colombia, and U. S.
Minister to Chile. He speaks Span.

"The funeral procession climbed the
mound on which the cemetery was sit
uated, passing through the V Of the
cleft stick in a single file. AS soon
as the coffin had been placed on the
stage erected for the purpose the peo-
pie commenced their return, follow
ing one anothers heels as quickly as
possible, each splitting out the words,
Bit bali krat fall jat tesip bertatip'
(Keep back, close out all things evil
and sickness!O as they passed
through the V shaped stick.
THE whole party having left the
grave yard, the gate was closed by the
simple process Of tying the cleft ends
Of the stick together, and few words
were then said to the cross stick
which they call 'ngring' or the wall
that separates the living from the
dead.
THE Madangs are a very light
skinned people, with bright dark eyes
and perfectly straight, long black hair.
Their only garments consist Of
coats and waistcoats made from the
bark of tree known as kumut, which
is beaten out to thin cloth with a
wooden mallet.
The Madangs are a very musical
race and possess many musical instru-
ments Among these are sort of
reed organ, a banjo, gongs and drums,
bamboo harp and nose flute. The
nose flute is an instrument made OF
bamboo on which the person plays
not in the usual way with the lips but
with his nose. l remember seeing on

NT INFIELD, Kan.-This town, which
w has been known for years as the
Athens of southern Kansas, because
Of its colleges, is now adding a health
laurel to its crown. Winfield claims
the distinction of having more bath
tubs and more sleeping porches than
any other town in Kansas.
In addition to its sleeping porches,
Winfield has living tents. Those who
cannot afford either sleep with their
windows up.
Winfield, which is credited with
having one of the best, If not the best,
municipal waterworks systems in
Kansas, officially encourages clean
