Large ear ornaments are coming

accustomed. She carries a load OF
copper, brass, steel and iron, and she
would be at loss to understand why
you did not admire her ears.
They are wonderful ears, to be
sure, for they are so weighted with
metal that thcy have been pulled out
OF their normal shape and hang like

are attached. She is the lady with

IN NEW HEBRIDES WILDS
Tastes of the Natives Are Very Grad
uaIIy Being Weaned From
Humans to Pigs.

Many of the natives of these islands
are employed upon the plantations OF
the white men, but the majority live
the lives of primitive beings in the
jungle, where the chiefs rule with rods
of iron for the most part To have
killed a man, no matter In what way,
is a great honor, and gives the right
to wear a special plume Of white and
black feathers.
1t is in the recruiting of workers
for the plantations that many abuses
arise, London Tit-Bits says Intoxi-
eating liquor plays a part In this
traffic, and, where fair means fail
in the securing of hands, foul methods
are introduced, and fragrant kidnap-
ing is by no means uncommon.
Describing one worker on the plan
tations named Bourbaki, Dr. Speiser
explains that, before the native en-
listed, he had been a professional muir
derer and provider OF human flesh to
his chief.
He was one of the few natives"
writes the doctor, who openly ad
mitted his liking for human flesh. A
year ago, when visiting his village, he
had been inconsolable because he had
come a day late for cannibal FEAST"
And on these islands, only few
days sail from Sydney, there are pyg
my races Volcanoes there are, and
wonderful lagoons. Forest covered
mountains and green plateaus may be
seen, and there are beach villages
whose inhabitants spend a greater
part of their time actually In the sea.

Gamblers Superstitions.

The tiger is the god of the gambler
in China, and tigers tooth is regard
ed as a talisman for good luck in
speculation and in games OF chance.
while the claws and whiskers arc
worn as love-charms, and for success
and good fortune generally.
Pigs are also considered lucky, and
luck-bringers in the shape of little
pigs made of gold and silver are worn
to attract fortunes favors; but the
black cat, which, In our own country.
is regarded as a mascot, is not favored
by the Chinese, who believe it to be a
harbinger OF poverty. misfortune and
sickness.
