REFUSE TO MEET STRANGERS
Peculiar Method of Trading INDUCED
in by New Guinea Tribe Who
Keep to Themselves.

No European has ever been able to
meet in their own dwelling-place the
Kukuhuhus, a shy, yet ferocious tribe
of New Guinea. Other tribes of the
country, while they have great fear
of the Kukuhuhus, manage to do
bartering trade with them. They bring
SALT earthenware, dried fish, etc, and
deposit them in a certain Indicated
place. They then retire for a few
hours, being notified to do so by a
curious cry from the distance. The
mountain dwellers then descend to
view the goods offered for sale. II
they want them they put down other
goods, such as skins, feathers, and
other jungle produce, next to those
articles wanted by them. Then they
retire in turn, and when the way
seems clear the coast jewellers ap-
proach again. If the latter are salts
fed with what is offered in exchange,
they take the goods put down by the
mountain people and go away; If not
satisfied they retire again as before
with empty hands.

BIGELOW IS HONORED
Union College Plans Memorial to
Author and Diplomat.
Committee Raising 100000 for Reel
tation Hall and Professorship at
Schenectady lnstitution-Was
IL When He Graduated.

Schenectady, N. Y.-Plans are rap
idly being perfected at Union college
for the establishment of an elaborate
memorial in honor of John Bigelow,
the author and diplomat, whose long
life of service ended in New York on
December 10, 1911. John Bigelow was
a Union man Of the class OF 1885, and
was for many years the oldest living
alumnus of the college. The memorial
is to take the form of recitation hall
which will bear Mr. BigeloW's name
and a professorship in political science,
and for these two purposes at least
100000 must be raised. A commit
tee, of which Joseph H. Choate is
chairman, has dedicated itself to the
raising Of this fund, and the circulars
calling for subscriptions will soon be
sent out.
sit is felt" says this committee,
that the most fitting memorial would
be building erected on the campus of
his Alma Mater at Schenectady, N. Y,
with lecture halls and rooms devoted
to the studies he loved, history, poll
tics, and literature, and the establish
ment there in of John Bigelow pro-
fessorship of political science. The
building would be named the John
Bigelow Memorial Hail. and would
stand on the main avenue of the col
aege grounds entered through the gate
way erected to the momory of John
Howard Payne, author of Home,
Sweet Home,' a member of the class
of 1910 at Union college.
The service of John Bigelow to his
country in the dark days of the Civil
war should always be gratefully re-
membered. While William H. Seward,
his fellow-graduate of Union college,
was managing brilliantly the affairs
of the department of state, John Bige-
low, as minister to France, was sue
cessful in the delicate task of main
tanning our national credit in the
countries of Europe. Throughout the
whole of his long life he devoted his
powers without stint to unselfish and
untiripg effort in the service of his
fellow-men.
"He held a place in the esteem and
affection of his countrymen held by no
other man, and when he died at the
age of ninety-four his right to the IT,
tie of The First Citizen of New York

that this plan will be received by many

GOOD TIMES IN CANADA
BUSINESS PRoSPERlNG, TRADE
INCREASING AND FINANCES
IN GOOD SHAPE.

The present tightening up OF money
must not be looked upon as being in
any sense brought about by financial
stringency. 1t is really more period
of stock-taking resorted to by the
banks to ascertain the true condition
of the finances and trade Of the coun-
try. Legitimate business enterprises
are not affected. Throughout the
States there are those who II allowed
to continue borrowing, would inev-
itably be q means towards precipi-
tating something a good deal worse
than they feel now. In Canada, the
conditions are excellent and 1t is
safe to say business was never bet
ter. The pulse of trade is carefully
watched by the Finance Department
of the Dominion government, and it
is illuminative to read portions of the
address of Hon. w. 7. White, the
Finance Minister, delivered few days
ago before the House of Commons.
Mr.. Whites remarks are in part as
follows
1T falls agreeably to my lot to OK.
tend my most hearty congratulations
to the House and the country upon
the prosperous conditions which 1t
continues to be our good fortune to
enjoy. / am happy to announce that
the outcome of the last fiscal year,
which ended on March 81, will prove
even more satisfactory as rejecting
by far the highest pitch to which our
national prosperity has yet attained. l
have every expectation that when the
books are closed, it will be found that
the total revenue will have reached
the splendid total of $16S,25O, 900, or
an increase over the year 1911-12 of
over $32,O00,000. Some indication of
the magnificent growth of the Domin-
ion may be cleaned from the fact that
this increase in revenue during the Pc
riod of one year almost equals the en-
tire revenue of the country seventy
years ago.
"The augmentation of revenue to
which l have referred has not been
irregular, spasmodic or intermittent
In it's nature, but has steadily charac-
terized each month of the entire fiscal
year. 1t was of course mainly derived
from Customs receipts, but the other
sources of revenue-excise, post Office
and railways-also gave us very sub
stantial increases"
THAT in a period of great finan-
cial stringency not only have we not
been obliged to resort to the con-
gested markets of the world, but have
been able to reduce so substantially
($23, O00,0 O0) the debt of the Domin-
ion, must be matter of qualification,
both to the House and to the people
of Canada.
Il believe that during this period
of exceptional money stringency the
credit of the Dominion as reflected in
the quotations of it's securities has
maintained itself among the highest
In the world"
Owing to the favorable state Of its
finances Canada was in q position to
pay off heavy loan in cash without
recourse to the issue of bills or Sc
urities-Advertisem

Never marry" she said, until you
are certain that the man you intend
choosing has perfect poise, both men-

should never marry slim men.
