Cheerful New Guinea Custom Which
Causes Frequent Murders.

N0uSOo TFOQuSVt "uVOoVo.
Everywhere in New Guinea the
traveller is continually brought face to
face with death. and the natives are
devoid Of the slightest pity or respect
for the dead or dying. although after
death they will often wall and
mourn for considerable time.
Murder IL an everyday occurrence.
and nothing could be worse than the
morals Of the natives. In fact. they
have none They thieve and lie with
n persistence and cunning which are
surprising.
The Papunns have cheerful Gus
tom which demands a life for life.
Should any one die ut the first oppor-
tunity they kill some One--they are not
very particular whom-tO make up for
1t. while we were ut Humboldt
bay" says Professor Pratt in the Wide
World Magazine. "a Malay died OF
dropsy. He was the first Malay who
had ever come to that part. and the
Papuans greatly respected him.
"'Very WE'LL they said. we must
shoot II Malay with our bows and ar
rows to pay for his death And soon
er or later some innocent person would
be killed to square the account, when
everybody-except. presumably. the
victims friends-would be satisfied"

Nearly everybody IS familiar with
the exquisite beauty OF snowdakes.
Formed as they are on the general plan
of a hexason. no one ever saw two
snow crystals precisely alike. Nature
sends out billions and billions OF her
snow handiwork. but every copy Is an
individual aud peculiar one. She de-
lights in variety. and truly the snow
fakes are not the least of her wonders.
Even in cake Of solid ice one may see
the delicate. beautiful snow flowers
packed closely together. for the ice is
simply one mass of these marvellous
products of natures art gallery.

reaches OF the sky are other exam

drops of water or minute crystals OF

Whits Horse Of Berkshire.


Between Abingdon and Cppington In
England there is a famous valley
known as the "vale Of the White
Horse" 1t is SO called because Of a
huge figure Of horse at full gallop
which is crudely fashioned on the side
of a precipitous hill Of chalk by re-
moving the surrounding turf.
The figure is almost 374 feet In
length. and when the sun is shining
upon it it can be seen plainly for al
most twelve miles. BY whom or how
long ago it was cut is not known. diff
ferent persons ascribing it variously
to the Saxons, Danes and Druids.
Many attribute it to King Alfred and
say that it is a symbol Of victory erect
ed by him after the battle OF Ashdown'
at which he defeated the Danes.
In course Of time the trench which
outlines the figure Of the horse fills
naturally and grows over. When this
happens the people of the neighbor-
hood have a custom Of meeting for the
purpose of cleaning it out. and this
they make the occasion for great
festival. at which the men compete In
manly sports for prizes.

It may not be generally known that
the Father Of His Country was one OF
the first Americans to wear artificial
teeth. BY the time the war OF the
Revolution had ended he had parted
company with most OF the outfit which
nature had given him. An ingenious
physiciRn and dentist Of New York city
undertook the then unusual task OF re-
equipment and produced at length

MEAT FOR MUSIC.

to Get That Title.
There Is no sensible reason for the
titles attached to many pieces Of unu-
sic. some OF them even classical Sc
lections. Most generally they are
placed there as an attempt Of some
publisher to boom" his stock and sell
his goods. Then again. some peculiar
titles may have their origin in incl
dents about as important as the fol-
lowing:
Haydn one day received a visit from
a butcher who said that himself and
his daughters were admirers Of
Haydn's music and as the young
woman was soon to be married he
made bold to ask that the composer
write a minuet for her wedding. Kind
Papa Haydn" consented. and in few
days the man OF meat obtained his
music. Not long afterward Haydn
was surprised to hear this same min
net played under his window. On
looking out he saw a band Of musi-
clans forming a ring around a large
OK, tastefuily decorated with flowers.
Soon the butcher came up and pre-
sented the OK to Haydn. saying that
for such excellent music he thought
he ought to make the composer a
present Of the best OK in his posses

Foilowins In His Footsteps.

Visitors to China are particularly
struck by the numbers Of pairs OF
boots hung in separate wooden cages
in the archway Of the main west gate
of Hsuanhua. the valedictory gifts Of

tive custom in China to invite a de-
parting magistrate whose rule has
been popular to leave a pair Of old
boots for suspension in a prominent
place as hint to his successor to fol-
low in his footsteps. 1t Is a consider
able honor to be asked to leave these
boots, and the ruled make the request
all the more eagerly because they be-
lieve in the efficacy Of the hint.
