Husbands Won by Cookery.
The second marriage differs in this
tribe from the first in that the widow
has her husband selected for her by
her relatives, but she must win him
by her skill as a cook. AS soon as
the man is selected, the widow, with
her cooking pots, is taken to his house.
She prepares and cooks his food and
when he returns in the evening offers
it to him with her own hands. Should
he accept, the marriage is established,
but II the lady be not attractive in his
eyes he clicks his tongue, peculiar
Papuan note of disapproval, and she
must leave to try her culinary skill
on another man. The good cook near
ly always wins, whether or not she is
good looking. Not in America alone
is husband won or kept by feeding

wears a cook apron gracefully will
get her best young man sure!
A story is told in New Guinea of

SEES PROBLEM FOR ENGLAND
Trouble Over Ulster Has Been the
Cause Of Much Comment Through
out France.

The conflicting reports and rumors
with regard to the attitude of the off,
GERS of the British army toward the
crisis in Ulster created a painful i'm
preston in France. French history
has more recent instances OF similar
events than that of England. The mu-
TIMES in the south when the troops
refused to move against the rioting
wine growers led 20 a general disloca-
tion OF the French army with view
to avoiding the use of local con-
scripts against their own friends and
relatives; but perhaps a closer par
allel is to be found in the refusal of
few officers to obey their orders dur
ing the taking of the church invento-
ries under the church and state sep
aration law. Those officers were at
once arrested and court-martialed.
To the general upon whose orders
the arrests were made General de Gal
lifet telegraphed: MY heart is with
you; you have done your duty. Dura
lex, sed lex"
That officers who belong to a nation
whose sense of discipline is the ad-
miration OF the French should have
rendered their designations rather
than obey orders is regarded as a sign
OF the extreme gravity of the problem
which the Petit Parisien fears may
lead to an Irish Vendee.

out in these outposts of German civ
ilization. True, there is divided and
discordant Christianity, to the shame
of Christianity here and at home. Com
petition still exists among Christian
ed competition in the business world.
True. there are unworthy mission
aries. But when all has been said
against them by traders with whose
cruel methods they interfere and by
tourists who travel only for pleasure
and by cynics who are deaf and blind
though not dumb, the worlds good is
being promoted, immeasurably pro-
NOTED, by these self-sacrificing men
and women who are engaged in splen-
did adventure for God and man in
the islands of the sea.
Heroic Preachers Work.
Take one example out of many. On
the island of New Pommeru the Rev.
H. P. Wenzel, a German Methodist
missionary, is closing his eighth year
of unremitting service. without holi-
day or relief. He gave up comfort
able pulpit in Berlin to come to this
distant land. His wife, who came
with him. died of fever and lies buried
near the mission church he built His
children were sent home to live with
relatives in Germany. He kept on
with his work. facing loneliness, pri-
vation, disease, death. Fourteen mis-
sionaries on the island were killed by
hostile natives. His life was threat
ened and for long time in imminent
danger. He never faltered. He went
about alone among the natives. preach
ing, teaching. healing with simple med
icines the sick. leading into gentler
ways the natives. half savage and
half child" Cannibalism was stamped
out, slavery and polygamy disap-
peared.
The Native Converts.
Six thousand converts are the fruits
of eight years labor of this man and
his associates. Nor are these con-
verts merely rice Christians" as the
native Christians for revenue only are
contemptuously called in some coun-
tries, but men and women who lose
in present position, socially and ma
terially. by adoption of the new faith.
They are accepted as converts on pro-
baton for three years. during which
time they must lead upright lives, So
ber. Industrious, before they can be
received into the church communion.
After baptism they are dropped from
the rolls or placed again on probation,
should they fall into their old and evil
practises. Even the most captious
critic in the islands has only words of
commendation for the work of Pastor
Wenzel and his colleagues. The re-
suits in the lives of the natives
brought under their influence are too
patent to be sneered away. And the
German Methodist missionaries in the
German islands of the South Seas are
types of the hundreds who labor for
humanity's betterment in the worlds
dark places. OF such stuff are gen.
uine heroes made.

The contrast between the British

marked. The British interfere as lit
