self to the DAD and walk off. This
same style Of basket carrying prevails
throughout Asia, Africa, South Amer
lea and the South Sea Islands.
Among the tea fields of Assam hum
dreds of girls may be seen picking the
leaves from the bushes and throw
ing them into largo baskets borne on
their backs. These baskets, though
wide and deep, are piled full before
being emptied, nor is any pity taken
on the girl slave who stUmbles be-
meath the weight Of her pack.
If a girl were to walk through the
streets Of any American city or viii
lage carrying vegetables by means OF
a yoke she Would be hailed with de-
riSion and regarded as one of the
seven wonders of the world. But in
Europe this is one of the most popular
of carrying devices.
The English carryfnt yoke Is type
or harness widely dispersed in north
ern Europe and among the colonists
from that section. 1t consists of a
horizontal piece of the yoke itself ana
the sings. The yoke is wider than 1t
is thick, is rounded on all corners for
ease to the carrier, and tapers toward
the ends to reduce weight. 1t also
serves another purpose in common
with all other carrying poles. 1t holds
the loads away from the body. Who
ever has tried to carry W. pals of
water with his hands alone knows
the convenience of this. 1t is a com
mon thing in the country to see the
boys and women using a hogshead
hoop as a sprcader. In the cities two
ice men carry an enormous block by
both holding to the hooks and one

countries even go so far as TO carry
the husbands themselves. The Ba-
hines, q Subtrihe in British Columbia.
have IA frame for the back, q rough
armchair without legs, made of stout
split sticks of willow Joined by thongs.
The women attach this frame To their
backs and have been seen carrying
their husbands within them In cases
where the lord and master could claim
a slight i'll to justify himself in such
a procedure.
But there is one burden which falls
to the lot of the women In all races
the carrying of the children. Every
mother is at some time obliged to
carry the little one about on her per-
son. and 1t is interesting to note the
various methods used In different
countries for his purpose.
American and European babies are
carried on the chest and circled by
the arms. If the child is very young
it simply lies within the bed thus
formed, but il older it sits up and
puts its arm around its mothers neck.
OF course this method deprivcs tho
mother of the use of the hands and
would therefore not be considered
good nN tnpSe VINO carry ttlelr young
about with them while at their work.
Strangely, it seems to DO tho Gus
tom throughout all savage countries
to attach the child to the person Of
the mother in ONE manner and to let
ii remain there throughout the days
work. Women banana peddlcrs in
South America may be seen on the
streets with a basket or par of ba-
nanas balanced on their heads and
II child lying within the folds Of the
sash at their backs. 50 the child
rests all through the day and Is not
removed from this position until the
mother returns home in the evening.
The position of the child depends
upon the arrangement of the sash. If
the babe is very young the sash forms
Il cradle and the child lies full length
! within 1t. If older, he Is allowed to
thrust his little legs through openings
In the garment and sits all day as
tridc his mothers hip. This same
method Of child carrying is used
throughout Africa.
The Semitic mother carries her child
aStridc her shoulder, shifting 1t as oc-
CaSiOn demands. No device or invcn-
ton Is used, but the child clings to her
from instinct and sc is held In position

pushing against the shoulders Of the
other for a brace.
There are many styles of these yokes
and they are used in some form In
most parts of the world. Candle SELL
ers in Mexico carry their wares on
long horizontal boards similar to the
European yoke. The Japanese also
use a modified form of it for carry
ing tea and rice. In Holland and Nor
mandy the yoke is used extensively
by milk maids.
When we were children we con-
sidered it fun to be carried in a seat
made of our playmntcs. Why we were
partial to this mode of travelling is
hard to understand, for it was surely
slow, rough and rather uncertain,
since there was always danger OF be-
ing allowed to drop with a thump TO
the ground.
The Chinese employ a method or
carrying passengers which is but an
expansion of this old-fashioncd meth
cd of our childhood days. They place
the person to DO carried in a covered
chair, called a sedan chair, and carry
him by means of two long poles to
which the chair Is attached. There
are usually -FOUR people employed IN
the carrying OF one of these chairs.
This type Of chair is used through
out all the Oriental countries. In
Japan it is converted into a light ear
riagc which is drawn by & servant.
This is u much moro pleasant task
for the burden bearer, as the vehicles
are light and provided with wheels
which bear the weight,

Another chapter in the interesting
career of Ransford j. Bucknam,
known in Turkey as Admiral Buck
nam Pasha, has just opened with his
appointment as commander of the
Turkish navy.
Born in America in 1870, u.knam
started life on the water at the age of
Ia when he shipped as cabin boy on a
great lakes schooner. Two years later
he sailed from New York as quarter
master on a schooner bound for the
Pacific. At Manila the captain and
the mates died of cholera and Buck
nam got the job of captain.
Fol some years he drifted about in
Central and South America, finally
turning up in Cramps s~hipyards as a
nautica, expert. He was the com
mander of the new battleship Maine
on her trial trips, and when the Turk
ish cruiser Abdul Mcdjid was finished
he was sent to Turkey with it.
Arrived in Constantinople, Buck
nam looked around at the dilapidated
Turkish navy and told the minister
of the laval department that SWitzer'
land was the only naval power Tur-
key, could whip.
When Abdul Hamid heard the
Americans criticism he asked him tt
reorganize the whole navy and named
a large salary. Bucknam accepted
the job. first getting leave to go bacl
to San Francisco to marry.
The Young Turks, when they de
posed Abdul Hamid, sent Bucknan
Pasha into retirement, since which
time he lived a quiet life.

%perience of Frederick Buckley Hyde,
millionaire Washington clubman and
globe t%rotter, who was crowned chief
of a savage tribe on the South Sea
island of Savaii, Of the samoan group,
in September, for the sake of a drink.
Hyde and his wife have just returned
from a tour of the South Seas, and he
is telling his friends of his remarkable
experience.

bludgeon, was not a ~reassuring sight.
