THE next month was the busiest
Of my life, not excepting those
at West Point. l was learning
4 to be royal, and was starting
a generation and q half behind time.
My hardest task was in Ueeting the
nobility. No rural candidate at a fall
election in America ever worked harder
to ingratiate himself with the people
and to secure their votes than did to
win favor with the lords and high off,
GERS of state.
There were constant cabinet meet
ings to attend, at which my views were
expected. and this entailed a study Of
conditions and policies absolutely new
to me. Then l was delegated frequent

Novel BetrothaI Customs of h Ma

Novel BetrothaI Customs of the Ma
tives Of New Guinea.
So far as proposals Of marriage are
concerned, in New Guinea it is always
leap year. for in that island the men
consider it beneath their dignity to no.
tice women, much less to make over
lures of marriage. Consequently the
proposing is left to the women to do.
When the ebony belle falls in love
with a man she sends a piece Of string
to his sister or. if he has no sister, to
his mother or another Of his lady rela-
tives. Then the lady who receives the
string tells the duSky masher that the
particular damsel is in love with him.
No counting follows, however, for it is
considered beneath a New Guinea gen.
tleman's dignity to waste time in such
a pursuit. If the man thinks he would
like to wed the lady he meets her alone,
and they decide straight away whether
to marry or drop the idea.
In the former case the betrothal is
announced. The man is then marked
on the back with charcoal, while a
mark is actually cut into the woman's
skin.
No breach of promise actions are pos
sible in New Guinea, though If the lady
is Tilted her friends may hunt her lover
up and "go" for him. On the other
hand, If the dark damsel prove faith
less she is liable to be beaten by her
betrothed if he catches her.-Pearson's

NECK TRUMPETS.
Curious Silver Musical instruments
Used by the hindus.

Used by the Hindus.
The Hindus have a number of mu-
steal instruments for which great an
tiquity is claimed. OF these there is
one that is very curious, not sc much
by reason of its form Of structure. but
because of the fact that it is played in
a very peculiar manner 1t IS not a
stringed instrument. it is not a wind
instrument. and it is not an instrument
of percussion. 1t consists of two small
silver trumpets with a very delicate
apparatus within.
When the natives play upon this in
strument they invariably excite the
greatest wonder in the foreigner. who
is perplexed to determine how the
player produces the sounds. for he
does not place the instrument to his
lips. but adjusts it to his neck. For
eigners have thought that a player of
such an instrument must be a ventrilo-
quist. employing the trumpets to con-
vey a false impression.
1t appears. however, that the varia-
tons Of tone are produced by the vari
alton in the quantity of air propelled
through the instrument by the pulsa,
tons of the neck.
Nothing could be more curious. it is
said. than to witness a performance
upon this instrument and to hear the
soft. sweet musical sounds that ema.
nate from the silver trunpets.-Ex.

ARTIFICIAL CAMPHOR.

Man Does In Two Weeks What Nature
Takes Two Years to Do.
Who. unless he be a chemist. would
D that there exists anything in
common between the camphor of the
orient and the ~turpentine obtained
from the pine tree in the occident?
The two substances have no superb
cial resemblance. their very odors be-
ing different, yet. chemically consid-
cred. there is very little difference be-
tween them. Turpentine Is composed
Of ten atoms of carbon combined with
sixteen atoms of hydrogen. and cam
phor has the same c~omponents, with
the addition Of n atom of oxygen.
The best natural camphor comes
from Formosa. and the outbreak Of
the Russian-Japanese war advanced
the price to such an extent that the
chemists of the world were called upon
to contrive a substitute. They soon
decided that it would be more practical
able to make an artificial camphor.
Knowing %turpentine to be the sub
stance most nearly allied to it in chem
fcal structure. a series of experiments
OF a very large scale was begun. A
detailed history Of these experiments
would fll many volumes. Today from
a determined quantity Of turpentine
may be obtained a fourth part Of the
weight of pure camphor. The success
Of the experiments was first known
when the odor Of camphor issued firm
set combinations.
Today man can manufacture in the
laboratory in fifteen days an amount
Of camphor which it takes a tree two
years to produce.-Harper's Weekly.
