"Oh, that's all right; you're a handy

him. Hop in now and break forth.
Don't let the public think that you're
afraid to blow a bubble through the
streets of your native town. The rub
ber sweater buttoned to the chin and
the Dutch awning over the forehead

Reluctantly Uncle Gilbert and Aunt
Miranda climbed into the kerosene
wagon and l gave him his final in
structions.
Now, Uncle Gilbert" l said, grab
that wheel in front of you firmly with
both hands and put one foot on the
accelerator. Now put the other foot
on the rheostat and let the left elbow
gently rest on the deodizer. Keep the
rubber tube connecting with the auto
matte fog whistle closely between the
teeth and let the right elbow be in
touch with the quadruplex while the
apex of the left knee is pressed over

Uncle Gilbert grunted. "Why don't
you put my left shoulder blade to

part of my anatomy that hasn't got

john whispered the nervous Aunt
Miranda, do you really think your

serious about it. Now, Uncle Gilbert,

And away they started in the Whiz

Uncle Gilbert took a dislike to a
brass valve and began to knock it
with the monkey wrench, whereupon
the valve got mad at him and upset a
pint Of ancient salad oil all over his
features.
When Uncle Gilbert recovered con-
sciousness the machine was breathing

The Home and the Chilli.

In the development of the child
along lines most satisfactory undoubt-
edly the home exerts the greatest and
most salutary effects. The home life
influences any boy or girl more than
any other influence, when the home
life is exerted properly. In some in.
stances the home life is not exerted
at all but the child is sent out to
treacherous companions, evil associ-
ates and uncertain purpose, with the
result that a large majority of these
fall away and are lost in the tempest
uous seas of life. The home life
counts and no parent should be so in
considerate of their offspring to ne
glet them in their formative period.
The church and the school will helm
in some degree, but neither can per-
form the miracle which the home can.

New Guinea is practically an unknown
land, except for a narrow strip along
the coast, while the portion hitherto
held by Great Britain has been ex-
plored only in part, and what is known
of the Dutch half of the island was
ascertained mainly by an English ex-
pedition undertaken in 1910.
This expedition, headed by Capt. Ce-
Gil G. Rawling, which penetrated some
distance into the interior and made
considerable surveys, came across
tribes of hitherto unknown pygmies,
the men barely reaching feet inches
in height 1t is presumed that the
women are proportionately smaller,
but no bribes or other persuasions
could induce these little folk to pro-
duce any of their females for inspec-

The savages along the coast, on the
other hand, are good-sized people, re-
markably muscular and with a great
development of chest The men are
soCty black, the women being slightly
fairer. Among them are occasional
albinos, with dirty reddish hair, their
pink skins blotched unpleasantly with
darker color. Both sexes go nearly
naked, the women wearing either a
short grass petticoat or a strip of
bark cloth passed between the legs

madly into the bosom of a flock Of

then the machine struck a stone and
she went up in the air.

when she got back, and then there
was an embarrassing silence.
To try to hold a polite conversation
on a motor car in full flight is very
much like trying to repeat the Declara,
ton of independence while falling
from a seventh-story window.
Then, all of a sudden, the machine
struck a chord in G and started for
Newfoundland at the rate of 1000. 900
miles a minute.
Aunt Miranda threw her arms
around Uncle Gilbert's neck, he threw
his neck around the lever, the lever
threw him over, and they both threw
a fit.

Once there was literary man who

According to all the rules of the

Violent temper seems to be a char
acteristic of these savages, and with
hardly a moments warning the peace
Iul village is converted into a scene
OF turmoil and strife. Spears whizz;
clubs are welded Unfortunately and
with murderous intent, and the place
resounds with ferocious yells.
AT intervals raids are undertaken
to procure heads as trophies and hu-
man flesh for food. There are no
hercer cannibals, judging from all ac-
counts, than those of New Guinea. In
1898 a vessel was wrecked of the
coast of British New Guinea, and 300
men on board of her, all of them Chi
nese' were marooned on a small is
land. There they were fed and sys-
tematically fattened by the natives.

boiled in a spring of hot water and
eaten.
Women have no rights among the
natives of New Guinea. They are
treated as slaves, worked almost to
death and savagely beaten when their
owners happen to be in a bad humor,
which is often. 1t is their business to
cultivate the fields of banana and rice,
while their lords and masters attend
TO the bghting and hunting. If a man
chooses to murder his wife, nobody in
terferes, and nothing much seams to
be thought of it.
New Guinea is for naturaIists an
unexplored wonderland. 1t has manv
species of birds that are as vet un.
known to science. The forests are full
OF parrots and other featherel crea-
lures of brilliant plumage, and among
the marine curiosities along the coast
are fishes that climb trees. The
swamps swarm with the deadliest
snakes. AS for the mammals of the
island, nearly all of them are. like
those of nearby Australia, marsupi-

its own fireplace. The floor is of sand
fresh from the seashore and covered
with grass mats, and the only furni-
ture consists of elaborately carved
wooden pillows, most uncomfortable,
as one would think, for sleeping pur-
poses. Dangling from the roof, and
much blackened by smoke, are human
skulls and bones, formerly belonging
to defunct relatives, the bones being
sometimes contained In woven grass
bags.
The price of a wife among these
primitive people may be anything
from yard of calico to an ak head,
according to the physical attractions
and domestic accomplishments of the
woman.
The savage warriors of New Guinea
adorn themselves with crowns of par
adise feathers, which are held in place
by band of plated grass encircling
the head. Sometimes they wear a
sort Of halo, the rays of which are
many pieces of cane plated into the
hair and standing out at right angles
to the scalp. Such a headdress, which
is not disturbed or remade for months,
must be rather uncomfortable to sleep
in.
To lend fierce expression to the
face the beak of the hornbill split in
two is worn through a hole in the
septum of the nose, in such a way
that the two thin white blades, each
five or six inches long, curve up at the
ends like Kaiser Wilhelm's mustache.

whereupon the woman in the road
threw up both hands and leaped for

and leaped for the fence.
The last Aunt Miranda saw Of them
they were entering their modest home
neck and neck, and the divorce court
lost a bet.
Then the machine began to climb a
telegraph pole, and as it ran down the
other side Aunt Miranda wanted to
know for the tenth time If it would
explode.
How did John tell you to handle
it?' she shrieked. as the Rowdy Cart
bit its way through a stone fence and
began to dance a two-step over
strange mans lawn.
"The only way to handle this in
fernal machine is to soak it in water"
yelled Uncle Gilbert as they hit the
main road again.
Il don't see what family pride has
to do with 1t; there isn't a soul look

oh! if l could only be arrested for
fast riding and get this thing stopped"
walled Uncle Gilbert as they headed
for the river.

Aunt Miranda, and the machine
seemed to hear her, for it certainly
obliged the lady.
