Here are a couple of extracts from the
ManX legal rulings:
IF man steal a horse or an OK IL Is
no felony. for the offender cannot hide
them: but if he steal a capon or a pig
he shall be hanged"
I'm case Of theft, IL it amount to the
value Of sixpence halfpenny. it shall be
felony and death to the offender: and
under that value to be whipped or set
upon wooden horse which shall be
provided for such offenders"
The arms Of the Isle of Man, which.
though 1t may sound like an Irish bull
to say so, are legs-three legs bent at
the knee and apparently kicking out
ward from common center I'm the
midst of shield-have provoked a
number of jocular descriptions. OF
which the best declares that one leg
spurns Ireland. one kicks at Scotland
and the third kneels to England.
On July of every year the laws Of
the Isle of Man are still read aloud to
the assembled people from the top of
Tynwald HILL This is said to be the
most interesting and archaic legal
ceremony observed today in Europe.

CUSTOMS IN NEW GUINEA.
Exchange of Wives Allowed by Code.
Feast on Victims of War.

From the London Standard.
Fresh details Of interest concerning the
little known land of New Guinea have re-
Gently been brought home by the Finnish
student and traveller, DR.. Gunnar Landt-
man.
Few parts of the world still contain so
many remnants of the life Of the pure
savage as does this vast island, and for
many years past it has naturally at
tracted a large share of attention from
all who make a study of anthropology
Until recently cannibalism was preva-
lent, but 1t is now confined to a few
tribes, and when Archbishop Donaldson
was among them some years ago he
found that the natives. many of whom
had been converted to Christianity, were
extremely unwilling to talk about their
old ways.
r. w. williamson, who returned last
year from a stay among the Malulu saw
ages, had, however, another story to tell,
for this section of the people can still en-
joy a banquet of human flesh. They do
not slaughter their victims merely for
greed. but wait until a battle or private
fight can give them both d meal and the
excuse for taking 1t.
In other respects he described them as
being a simple and quiet race, with an
extremely complicated religion. the origin
of which they did not in the least know.
tain other plants were haunted. while
their lives were to a great extent spent
in fear of sorcery.
DR. Landtman entirely confirms these
stories of their wonderful ina ginative ma
ture, and he relates how they tell remark
ably long and complicated tales of ro-
nance, in which the fortunes of hero and
heroine are marred by the Vaccinations
of witches. In most of their stories can
be sen a dim resemblance to the fairy
legends of Europe. a point which should
attract the attention Of the student of
comparative religion. OF their morals he
speaks in the highest terms, yet he re-
lates that their code allows a ceremonial
exchange of wives.
The Papuans, who comprise the major
ity of the inhabitants, are people of fine
physique. and according to the latest re-
ports are fond of sports, in which the
women join with the men, the game be-
ing not unlike our English hockey. Many
of the tribes in the mountains still live
by raids on lowland districts, but in other
parts the people are quietly earning a liv-
ing from cultivating the soil.

otherwise.
Furthermore, DR.. Baker is as careful
Of his large family of bipeds and quad
rupeds as the most careful father is of
his children
He knows what is best for them to
eat. and never spoils them with things
that are not good for them. He knows
when they should be watered, and none
of his large family every goes thirsty,
for in this advanced age when nan-mon-
keys. trained bears. seals with almost
human intelligence and the like are not
uncommon on the theatrical stage with

on his guard to see that none of his Zoo
family ever wants anything in the way
Of drink but water, and he always has
plenty of water available for them

So. too. when the skies begin to take
on a grayish hue. and the morning air
has a crispness that foretells the ap-
proach Of winter. DIR. Baker begins to get
ready with his winter quarters for his
big family. Some time ago, when the

be felt, the good superintendent had
everything in readiness, and before the

During the warm days that have inter-
Vened the furry coats have been allowed
an outing. But back to their warmer
quarters in the big animal house they go
when the thermometer takes a downward
turn.
Air Always Pure and Fresh.
There is a point about these winter
quarters for the animals of the Zoo that
does not always stand to the credit of
the homes in which their human friends
are quartered. The air in them Is al
ways good and pure and fresh. If 1t
were not they would sicken and die even
more quickly than the boys and girls, the
men and women who go on and on from
year to year either afraid Of the pure.
cold air of the outdoors, or denied 1t in
their homes by poor ventilation. or the
need of fuel to keep them warm when
it is let in.
Happily, the animals Of the Zoo need
not fear for their winter coal or their
winter clothing. Unlike. their brother
the humans. they do not need
to worry as TO where good food and
plenty of 1t is coming from.
The government is good to the ami
mails, and no one feels sorry for it.

FOUR NOW SEEK FOR I

Poincaine, Brilliant Premier
Seems Most Likely
to Succeed

PARIS. Sept. l4-Now that Pres
ident FaIlieres has entered upon his
last six months at the Elysee the
chances of the various potential can
didates for the presidency are being
actively canyassed. The French pres
idential election lis not the same
popular affair as in the United States.
The battle for the choosing OF the
chief OF state here devolves on the
senate and chamber OF deputies unit
ed in national assembly at Versailles
and the voting in secret
Among the possible candidates Tor
the election in January are Raymond
Poincare. the premier; Antonin Dd-
bost. the president of the senate;
Paul Deschanel, the speaker of the
chamber. and Leon Bourgeois. the
minister of labor.
Poincare Is Clean.
Since his journey TO Russia VI.
Poincare's prestige IN parliamentary
circles has increased enormously. He
is one OF the most able and least
hated men in French politics today.
and his past is entirely free from
the intrigues which have discTedited
so many former premiers. II is felt
that he is the only statesman VINO
could have forced the proportional
representation bill through the cham
Der of deputies in the face OF the
hitter and most determined opposi-
ton.
That famous publicist. Henri Roche
fort has said that If he we're a bet

STANDARD OIL WINS
OUT IN SCANDINAVIA
Opposition Fails TO Keep
out Famous American
Trust as at Home

STOCKHOLM. Sept. 1.-THE war
for the control of the oil market in
the Scandinavian countries has rS
suited in practically a complete vic
tory for the Standard Oil company.
The only concession obtained by the
Scandinavian association from the big
American company was that the price
of oil I'm Scandinavian territory should
not exceed the price asked in any 9th
er European country.
The Standard Oil company Obtained
an entrance into this country by an
agreement with existing interests TO
take over the distribution system for
oil in Scandinavia.
There was much opposition TO the
scheme by the Small Dealers associa-
ton. which passed a resolution in
favor OF governm ent intervention TO
prevent the establishment OF a Stand
ard Oil monopoly in the Swedish mar.
ket.
The American minister made every
effort to secure the admission TO
Sweden of Austrian oil which has
been kept out BY the Swedish safety
regulations, as il does not meet the
requirements for safe transport, being
too light.
Army Is Modified
An experiment in mDbilizing the
Swedish army is about TO he made on
a large scale by the government in
order to see how the new system in
troduced in 1901 viii work in time Of
war. The recent reports Of the for
ward movement of Russian troops to-
ward the frontier lends much interest
TO the tests.
No one has any idea which section
of the country will be modified, and
the public is becoming very impatient.
for in the mobilization district il
means that practically every man over
q and under 30 years Of age will be
called upon to bear arms during the
