LOVE LINKED WITH DEATH.
In Tucopia Girls Propose Marriage and
Must Die If Rejected.

In the PaciLc ocean between Fit,
New Guinea, New Caledonia and the
continent Of Australia lies the Melahe-
sian group Of islands, where head hunt
ers and cannibals abound. Although
strange and grewsome are many of the
customs of the tribes, there are soms
that are most romantic. For instance.
on the island of Tucopia the women
propose marriage instead Of the men.
When Il girl Of Tucopia sees man
whom she thinks she would like to
have for her hui and she does not rush
up to him ana ask him to marry her.
On the contrary. she gives the subject
deep thought and often the man most
careful investigation before she pops
the question The reason is that his
answer spells life or death to her.
1t is a tribal law TINT any woman
who has been refused must forthwith
kill herself. Therefore woman asks
mans hand only when she feels sure
that his answer will be the happy one.
Many are the strange and seemingly
inexplicable questions with which the
women Of Tucopia ply the stranger.
who cannot realize the personal mo-
tive back Of the solicitude of the dusky
bellies who inquire if he is married or
not aud the state Of his wife's health.
Romances are consequently very apt
to turn out IN happy marriage.
But there have been innumerable in
stances when poor girl, smitten by
the newcomers charms. has been com
PEELED to kill herself because the man
with whom she has fallen in love has
had TO refuse to marry her.
Badness with the women of Tucopia
is sign Of beauty, and never until she
is bald does a Tucopia woman become
fully convinced that she is really love
ly. But bald or not size takes great
care whom she asks to marry her, for
the tribal law has never been known
TO fail, If rejected woman does not
kin herself she is eSecutedsby the lead

Burlington, July IA campaign to
stimulate recruiting for the United
States army will be- commenced at
I once, according to a decision reached
last evening at a meeting at the Hotel
Vermont of Governor Graham and the
members Of the executive committee
Of the Vermont committee Of public
safety. Those present stated their
belief that Vermont, in proportion to
her population, had sent as many men
into the various branches OF the ma
tiOnal service as any state in the UNI
ion. The slowness Of enlistments for
the regular army, however, has caused
unpleasant comments to be made,
which will now be refuted, Colonel
Fred b. Thomas, commanding officer of
the LIST regiment of infantry, Vermont
national guard stated that the regi-
ment was yesterday filled to within 1870
OF its required war strength. Several
enlstments were received last evening
and it is only a question of hours until
the regiment is at war strength
Definite steps will be taken immedi-
ateiy to start a statewide appeal for
$4,000 to cover the COST of the com
mittee's work, which cannot be done
by state appropriations. The amount
will be apportioned among the coun-
ties according to their grand list, so
that Chittenden county's share will be
somewhat under $500 The commit
tees activities have been the co-ordina-
ton OF all war work, including increas-
ed food production, Red Cross work,
recruiting campaigns and other ways
of preparing for the future. Reports
OF the work accomplished by the differ
| ent committees were received last eve
ming, that Of the food production and

A shortage Of equipment for the LIST
Vermont infantry, particularly as re-
cards ordnance, was reported by

PRoNouNClNG WORDS.
A Test and a Flippant Fling at the
Critic and His Theory.

Comes now another TO trouble US in
these days when the wayfarer has al
ready enough bothers 10 keep him from
lingering oyerlong in his humble re-
pose. 1t is man who has discovered
:hat there are 5000 English words
more or less commonly mispronounced
and who would show us how TO rescue
ourselves from the disgrace.
BY way of illustration he challenges
all corners to try to pronounce offhand
such words as actinism, archimandrite,
batman, beauin, bourgeois. BREWER,
buoy. DENY, fugleman, fusil, oboe, row.
lock, tassel, vase and velleity. He in.
Inmates that anybody who can give
them all correctly can qualify as Doe
hitter in the pronunciation league. but
still has a long way to go before he
reaches perfection.
But what of it? An oboe sounds as
sweet whether one calls it an oh-bow
or an oh-boy. If the writer Of this
article told his printer to set 1t In boor-
Lhwah type the printer probably would
call meeting of the chapel and insist
on n strike vote. You can call it vase
or vawZe, but it takes a dime to get it
filled, where it used TO cost only 8
cents. AS to deny and velleity, most
of US have got along very well for a
good many years without writing or
speaking either OF them and hope to
struggle along the same way at least
until we have little rest from worry
over the high cost of potatoes.
The hardest thing about it is to de
termine which of several schools Of
pronunciation Is most desirablc-the
London. the Melbourne. the Canadian,
the Texas, the Massachusetts, the Ala
bama, the Georgia or the Missouri.
Moreover, if 5000 words are mispro-
nounccd most Of us are democratic
enough TO let the majority rule and be
willing 10 make it unanimous. 81.

A FAITHFUL HORSE.

titled to Fame.
Paul kevere's name was made Inn
mortal when he rode from Boston to
Lexington and Concord warning the
patriots along the way Of the British
approach, and his fame has been Sc
curely enshrined in the hearts of all
Americans.
Historians have honored themselves
in honoring him. Poets have found in

idol of childhood, an example in the
prime of manhood and a sOlacing mem
DRY of old age.
How few characters loom up like
great peaks above the mountain ranges
Of time!
And Paul Revere was one of these.
He was one Of the precious few great
enough to grasp an opportunity to do
an incalculable good to mankind.
But while we give deserved glory to
Paul Revere let us no longer forget
that there was another hero in that
wild midnight ride.
There was the horse.
ANY other horse might have done as
WELL You think? Well, so might any
other man have done as well perhaps.
So might we flippantly disparage any
hero.
But the fact remains that it was
Paul Revere and Paul Revere's horse
that did it. And the harder work fell
on the horse. But for the true horse
faithfulncss Paul Revere would have
been failure. Christian Herald.
