PAPUAN COURTESY.
Husbands Beat Each Of Their Wives
With a Different Club.

The marriage customs of the Pap
uans are somewhat similar to those
Of many other savage races. The GER
smony is largely a matter Of purchase.
The men marry when they are about
eighteen years Of age and the girls at
fourteen or even earlier.
When q 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.
If man has gun he is 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
is scarce, the only cultivation under
taken being on a very primitive scale.
little clearing Is made by both
men and women, and the women then
grow bananas and sweet potatoes.
The men are always armed, and when
the women go to the patch to attend
to their crops or gather the produce
the men go with them as a protection.
The women, however, do the work.
Many families have bundle of an
Client Portuguese cloth centuries old,
and when n young man is seeking a
bride one of these heirlooms Is gener-
ally part of the deal. The youth and
the girls father haggle over the mar
rage until eventually they agree to
terms, and then the thing is done.
The men are not limited to one wife,
and once a girl is married she Is sub
ject to her husband in everything and
Is practically his slave.
"In another part of New Guinea"
says writer in the Wide World mag
aZine, IT remember a distinctly strong
confirmation of the custom which
places woman at the entire mercy
of her husband. At one house l visit
ed / 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 If they annoyed
him. The quaint part Of 1t was that
while the women seemed to raise nc
objection to being logged unmerciful
ly by their lord and master they
would not be beaten with the same
weapon as that used on another wo
man, so the native kept n separate clut
for each wife"

When Not to Smoke.

BY exhausting the salivary secretion
smoking before meals prevents the
physiological action of the saliva on
starchy foods. Smoking just before
going to bed Is often followed by in.
somnia. because the stomach contains
quantity of unneutrallzed juice,
which irritates the mucosa and gives
rise to sensation of hunger. This
distressing consequence may be avert
ed by taking either some light food or
q little bicarbonate of soda before re-
firing TO rest in order to neutrallze the
secretion. London Lancet

GIRLS TAKEN FROM
TRAIN BY Police

Monday night Chief of Police Cur
dane received a telegram from Chief
Cox of Portland to meet eastbound
No and take off two runaway girls,
aged II and IA, and sisters and to
hold them here, but not to place them
in Jail. The girls were found and
placed in the keeping of lady in the
city and this was the beginning of
intra-family fight, the end of which
is not yet.
1t seems the girls are the daugh-
ters Of a Snake river rancher who
lives not far from Joseph, but that
they have lived with their aunt who
is the wife of a prominent Portland
physician for some time, the eldest
for the past ten years and the young
est for the past four years. The girls
complain that they were little better
than slaves in the doctors house
hold and determined to return to
the home of their parents, against
whose will, they say, they were kept
in Portland. They seemed to be very
capable of taking care of themselves
and as soon as they were installed in
the house Of their custodian here.
they sent a message to their parents
out from Joseph and in due time an
answer came from the mayor Of that
town bidding the police to send the
girls on at his expense.
Yesterday, however. the Portland
aunt of the girls arrived and a lively
scene ensued at her meeting with the
runaways. The girls refused to re-
turn with her and, as it was discovered
that the woman had no legal rights
of guardianship over them, the Off
GERS could not force them to return.

GOOD ROADS BILL
TO SENATE AGAIN
Amendment to Bill Providing for
Working of Prisoners IN Re Made

working or Prisoners to Be Made,
Salem, Ore, Feb. 2.-The fight for
good roads legislation, which has prin-
cipally centered in the house. was
again transferred to the senate YES
terday afternoon. when the bill pro-
viding for working city and county
prisoners on the roads was consld-
cred in committee of the whole.
The only serious objection in sight,
based on the old struggle over GUS
tody of county prisoners in Multno-
nah, is to be forestaled by offer of
an amendment which places custody
with Sheriff Stevens. Such an amend
ment has been prepared and is ready
to be offered by Senator Won der Hell
len. chairman of the committee on
roads and highways. Placing custody
with the sheriff, it authorizes the
working of the men by any road su-
pervisor or other person designated by
the county court.
Judge Webster has not consented
to such an amendment, but it seems
likely his opinion will be overruled
and the amendment adopted. Then
the bill will go through without much
difficulty, making the fourth good
roads association measure to be ia
vorably acted on by the senate.
The bill Is also likeiy 10 carry an
amendment on the line suggested by
Senator Bowerman, allowing a system
of credits for good conduct for all city
and county prisoners working on the
roads.
