far down as to form caves which come

some logs placed so as to form slop-

one the Papuans have custom of pro-

What little work needs to be done
on the island seems to be done by
the women; the men are apparently
too deeply occupied in exhibiting
themselves to the other members OF
the community. Their costumes may
be said to consist of loin cloth, which
is really the only article OF actual
dress they have; however, to make
up for the lack of tailor-rnade gar

covered with miscellaneous ornaments

ODD ISLAND TRIBE
Queer Inhabitants of the Land
of Star.
Whole Population Number Only $40,
Yet Forms Distinct Tribe With
Manners and Customs Pc
cuIiar to Itself.

Friedrich Wilhelm Hafen No
international exposition or large fair
is supposed to be complete now
adays without it's native village, where
two score or SO of men, women and
children, preferably cannibals, from
some far distant land, and supposed
to live more or less in their ma
tive state for the editication of the
curious.
A visit to Star reminds one irresist-
ibly of such an exposition village; the
difference being that the inhabitants
instead of displaying their charms to
crowds of civilized visitors, are en-
gagged in doing so to each other. 1t
is hard, on visiting the island, to real
ize that the natives are specially got
up for ones particular benefit.
The island of Star, which is less
than mile round, lies in an archipel-
ago on the coast of German New
Guinea and close to the principal port
in the colony, Friedrich Wilhelm
Hafen. This town boasts of a white
population of about Is and contains
only ten or dozen houses half hid
den, among the cocoanut trees.
The whole population of the island
of Star is about 40, and these people
really constitute tribe distinct from
the inhabitants of the mainland or of
the other islands. The natives Of the
mainland, who are themselves suffi.
GENTLY curious people to excite the
wonder Of anybody, are ready and anx-
ious to point out the islanders to Wis
itors and make money out off one by
rowing one over in a boat on the
monthly visit of steamer.
On approaching the island nothing Is
seen but the dense vegetation which
covers it all over However, on pene-
trating a few yards inland two clear
lngs are reached around which are
grouped 80 or SO huts that form the
village The word hut is really too
dignified a one to describe their rude
dwellings,; strictly speaking, they live,
eat and sleep on straw and wooden
platform raised four or five feet from
the ground, and which is covered over .
by rudely-thatched grass roof. There
are no sides to the dwelling, the front
and back being generally quite open,

The Quickest, Simplest
Cough Cure
Easily md Cheap1y Made 7 mt
Home. Saves You ~.

This recipe makes pint of cough
syrup-enough to last family a long
time. You couldn't buy as much or as
good cough syrup for $3.50.

nate cough in "a hours. This is partly
due to the fact that it is slightly laxa-
tive, stimulates the appetite and has an
excellent tonic effect. 1t is pleasant to
take-children like it. An excellent REM
edy, too, for whooping cough Group, sore
lungs, asthma, throat troubles, etc.

~ pint of warm water, and stir for 2
minutes. Put 211a ounces of Pinex fifty
cents WORTHY in pint bottle, and add
the Sugar Syrup. 1t keeps perfectly.
Take a teaspoonful every one, two or
three hours.

all the other natural healing elements.
Other preparations will not work in this
formula.
