Oueer People of Papua.

In the Girara country, Papua, dis trict of New Guinea, where the coun- try is almost entirely submerged, the natives are said to claim descent from the dog. They possess five totems, which are drawn on all their houses. Their villages are erected on hillocks so as to be clear of the water, and the people of each village inhabit one large. common house, sometimes as much al 400 to 800 feet long and 60 to 80 feet in width. The center of this huge building is kind of common hall, which is used only by the men, while the walls of the structure are divided into cubicles in three or four floors, access to which is gained by means of ladders. The women are not

IackaI Flies of India.


 There are certain East Indian flies, several varieties of them apparently of similar type to our own house fayorite, Musca domestica, that have developed rather ingenious, if somewhat dis reputable, way of making a living. This is the story told by Captains Pat ton and Craig in the Indian Journal of Medical Research. The proboscis of these flies is soft and not suita ble for piercing the skin of man or the lower animals. So they hang around some one of the several types of biting flies, and when the latter pierces the skin of a victim they crowd him away and use the incision for feeding them selves. If the bitter happens to be too large or fierce thus to be driven from his prey, the fly jackals wait until he is finished and then take his place. In view of these observations it seems quite possible that the so called non biting flies may play hitherto unsus- pected role in the transmission of dis ease.

 Coming now to the dinner gown, there is this to be said: If attending dinner given at a private house one should make very handsome toilet. It should be of silk, velvet, brocade. or satin, trimmed with lace or chiffon, as fancy dictates The waist should be cut low. the skirt in a train. and sleeves conspicuous by their brevity only will be correct
 The underskirt may be of the dain- tiest lingerie a soft satin The stiffer' silks are not worn, except brocade, and these simply support frothy lace Hounces.

The gloves should be white. reaching above the elbows
 Velvet is an ideal fabric for the dinner gown of a matron who is in c1fned to plumpness, when the wea-8 ther is not too warm, of course. As a rule. this type has extremely good shoulders and nothing sets them off so we'll as velvet. It goes without saying that long, sweeping lines will be better than a fussy treatm ent, both on account of the build of the wearer and the material Much trimming cheapens velvet, anyway, and certainly a fnssys model would be exceedingly urbecoming to other than slender figure

 The. evening wrap should be ample graceful in line and preferably light in color. Black, dark brown. and other dark colors are entirely too somber, unless relieved by handsome embroid- cries in color.
 1 The toilet worn at dinner in pub | lie place is entirely suitable for the theater For the opera the most elaborate costume may be launched. Silks, satins, jewels and gew-gaw are all admissible.
 For the matinee, one can wear an afternoon tailored suit with a dainty fluffy waist and one's best hat Gloves should be white and a dainty feather or tulle boa is a pretty addition. Again frock of voile, or soft silk is in per- feet taste, the neck arrangement up to date A separate wrap is, of course, indispensable. This may be of the or dinary street order
 Much jewelry should be avoided. In fact, only upon very ceremonfous occasions should tjewelry be worn in the daytime to any great extent To do so is a sign of i1l-breeding and an absence of the knowledge of the fitness of things There will, of course, be no objection to a few simple trinkets.
 Summer Froclxs.
 A summer morning street gown may be a simple one-piece model in a very thin woolen, as cI1allfe or eponge, or a cotton. as ratine. Linens, too, are cor rect whether developed into suit or in a coat. Colored linens are favored this year, although white is still worn. Plain simple lines should always be followed in washable materials.
 The millinery, too, should be very simple indeed. A straw hat trimmed with ribbon, quills or wings will be in good taste Flowers should be used sparingly. if at all.
 An all black hat looks very stylish worn with a white or colored linen suit. Hose and neat, weI1-htting kid gloves or pumps should also be black. The lawn skirt may be finished with the rolling collar or the stifer linen with tie, as the wearer approves. Both be plain mesh, although a tiny dot is no objection. A white linen para sol, also s dim shade of taffeta. or vivid colorings will be in good taste when the rest of the costume is white. White silk gloves of washable doeskin will complete a smart morning toilet.
 Afternoon Costume.

 Hats should be pretty with out being elaborate. Straw, lace, net, malines. and silk may be worked up into af- ternoon millinery, with trimmings of flowers, ribbons, and ostrich tips
 Patent leather pumps and black silk stockings belong to the correct after noon toilet, while white gloves are always in the best possible taste

Government Still Allows f,442 For Con-
 Hict That Ended Tn 184s.
 Although it. is nearly sixty-six years since the war with Mexico was ended officially, on July 4, 1S48. there were 1s442 veterans of that war upon the rolls of the pension bureau at the close of the last fiscal year, each drawing $50 month There were also 5,123 widows of soldiers in that war receiv- ing pensions from the government.
 As there were only 3o.954 regulars and 73,F76 volunteers, a total of ~112,- 23O American soldiers engaged in the struggle, which officially began sixty eight years ago April IT, the soldiers of that period must have been a hardy lot, for a boy of fifteen at the close of the war would now have passed the Scriptural allotment of threeseore and ten and been well on in the. sec Ond half of his fourth score of years
 Soldiers of the Mexican war and 9beir dependents received no pensions for their. services until nearly thirty one years after the war Since then the cost of their pensions to the close of the last fiscal year was $47, ,632 572.

Arithmetic Justice.

Rough and ready justice in Mexico in the days of President Diaz is illus trated by the following story:
 In a lonely part of the south a train had been robbed by the inhabitants of a certain village. The president told a young officer to take his company and @put an end to that sort of thing" The young officer had every house searched. Almost all contained stolen property.

Some readjustment of the railway mail service, has been undertaken by the post office department at Washing ton to meet the reductions in train service in some parts of the country. Another reform might be the removal of the parcel post mails from the through express trains, which now are sometimes delayed as much as five minutes at imp ortant stations by the time required for unloading and load ing.

Five Americans Wounded by
Mexican Fire at NacO.
Four Of Them Soldiers in the

Naco. Oct. 17.-F'ive men, a civilian
and four soldiers of the United States,
were wounded today by Mexican bull
lets that flew far over the interna-
tional boundary during an attack by
Gov. Maytorena's troops on the Car
rama garrison. of Naco, Sonora.
One of the soldiers was shot
through the head while on duty at a
railroad embankment, four hundred
yards from the boundary. He is still
alive. The civilian, a carpenter, en-
ployed by a railroad. was shot through
the right lung while traversing side
walk on the American side of the line.
The storm of bullets that resulted
in the wOuDding of the five men was
heavier than any heretofore which has
struck the American side of the
boundary. The missiles came from
Maytorena troops, which attacked the
Naco garrison directly on the south
side of the town. The attack began
before daylight and continued more
than six hours. with brisk fire on
both sides.

TO MEXICO CITY
President Wilson's Representa-
tive Leaves Vera Cruz.
General Aguilar Pledges Protec-
ton of American Employees.

Vera Cruz. Mex. Oct. T.-John r.
Silliman. President Wilson's personal
representative in Mexico. before leav-
reported to the state department at
Washington that General Aguilar had
promised to grant all the demands Of
the United States in connection with
the evacuation Of Vera Cruz
Mr. Silliman visited General Aguilar's .
camp beyond the American lines FRI
day night and conferred with the gen.
eral until q late hour regarding the
States and President Wilson's desires
Recently General Aguilar issued a proc
lamation making certain guarantees,
but at Mr.. Silliman's suggestion he
promised to issue another in which he
will be more specific. The proclama-
ton will give assurance that no one
who has been employed by the Ameri-
cans shall be prosecuted for that, al
though it is an offense for which the
law provides severe punishment.
1t was suggested that the acts of
General Aguilar after all were subject
to the decision Of his superiors in the
Mexican capital but Mr.. Silliman in
reply said that the responsibility was
wholly Aguilar's. The presidents rep
resentative said that he believed that
the generals promises to accede to the
demands made would satisfy Mr.. Will
son. During the conference General
Aguilar disclaimed responsibility for
the hostile demonstration made in front
of the American lines on Thursday
night.
Mr.. Silliman was ACCOMPANIED to
Mexico City bby his wife.
