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


Must Die If Rejected.
In the Pacific ocean between Fiji,
New Guinea, New Caledonia and the
continent Of Australia lies the Melane-
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 some
that are most romantic. For instance,
on the island of Tucopia the women
propose marriage instead of the men,
When girl of TucOpia sees q man
whom she thinks she would like to
have for her husband she does not rush
up to him and 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 that any woman
who has been refused must forthwith
kill herself. Therefore a woman asks
a mans hand only when she feels sure
that his answer will he 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 and 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 a 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 Tucopia woman become
fully convinced that she is really love-
ly. But bald or not she takes great
care whom she asks to marry her, for
the tribal law has never been known
to fail. If rejected woman does not
kill herself she is executed by the lead
ers Of the tribe.-PearsOn's

It is hard for me to remember now
that my knowledge of the sleepy road.

through the chance bit of advice drop
ped by wise, kind, weary old doctor
as he shuffled at midnight down the
corridor of the silent hospital, says the
Atlantic Monthly.
Whatever was the errand Of life or
death that had called him In such
haste, he had time to stop and give me
a friendly word, although l, small
and incorrigibly sleepless patient, was
sitting bolt upright among the pillows
in defiance of all his orders and was
staring wide eyed into the hot, pain
haunted dark.
You think you are never going to be
able to sleep again, don't your he OBJ

just what l tell you. Think of some
road that you know we'll, a good long
road that winds and turns and shows
you water and woods and hills. Keep
your eyes tight shut and travel along
it in memory. Go as slowly as you
can, recall every sight and sound and
perfume as you pass by.

perhaps to the swimming hole. where

When Death CcoIs His Stinu,

There is curious superstition in
Jamaica that if death occurs in the.
house all the water in it is poisoned at
once and must be thrown away, the
reason given being that Death cools
his ''sting" after destroying life in the
first water he finds. and as no one can
tell-death being invisibe-what jar he
may choose it is safest to throw it all
away. Careful people to save trouble
even carry all water out Of the house
Immediately before death is expected.

RED MONDAY IN PETROGRAD.
One Scene Of the Revolt That Ended

One Scene Of the Revolt That Ended
the Romanoff Dynasty.
Bullets flew in the streets of PetrO-
grad one Monday during the revolution
which overthrow the ROmanoffs. A
British nurse, telling Londoners of her
experiences in the Russian capital on
Red Monday" says Of one scene:
81 saw in the streets a wonderful
procession Of revolutiOnists, the van
guard Of the brave liberators of Rus
sia. The soldier patriots in their gray
coats, on foot and in mOtorcars, were
going down the street in a steady, Or
derly manner, protecting crowd of
starving men, women and children who
were walking in the center Of the pro-
cessiOn. At their head was band
playing the 'Marseillaise' and "a large
red flag borne aloft.
las the procession neared the Hotel
Moscow, where the Nevsky begins,
there was sudden outburst Of fierce
firing from above, and the soldiers and
women and children fell to the ground
and the street soon became a sham
bles. The firing was from machine
guns controlled by the police, who were
in ambush on the roof of the hotel and
who tried 10 Ering about a wholesale
slaughter of the people.
at was astonishing how self possess
ed the crowd was in the face of this
murderOus attack. l saw the soldiers
who had not fallen Immediately enter
the hotel and make their way to the
roof, where they shot the cOwardly pO-
lice, captured the machine guns and
brought them down to the street."

Lending Money.

"And now, my son. said the old

advice"
Eyes, dad" answered the young
man patiently.
"Never lend money to friend"
"What, never?'
NO. never"
"But why? Surely some friends are

Undoubtedly. But if you lend
money and try to get it back you will
be called tightwad, and if you lend
money and don't try to get it back you

Efficiency.

Efficiency is no new invention; 1t is
as old as intelligence itself None re-
llize efficiency so completely as the
creative genius-our Darwins, Fara-
days, EdisOns and Fords-and none so

working eXplosively. Genius itself. we
are told, is the capability for taking
infinite pains.-William Fl. Smith in

Personal RESPONSIBILITY,

There is such a thing as personal re-
sponsibility which cannot be delegated
to another. In the navy. for example.
we dock ships. and the docking officer
is held personally responsible: Dis

sonally responsible for every payment
made not only by themselves. but by
their assistants. They cannot delegate
responsibility to the pay clerks even
for the petty cash.-F. c. Coburn in

Stepniak, in 1889, the writer says, he
