"There are both natives and for
eigners who contend that Hayti is
fully capable of governing itself if
the white man will go away and let
the Black Republic alone"
The author, after his close study
OF the Black Republic, its people, its
urban and rural communities, its ira
dltions and peculiarities, dissent
from this opinion.
Forced Natives 10 Work
1t was the corvee system, an old
French law, similar to our Ameri-
can poll taxi in rural districts, which
the marines resurrected in an effort
to rebuild roads that stirred the
country into cacoism anew and led to
the bloody determination of cacos
in the hills by the marines and gen.
darmes. An echo of this coryee svs.

workers for road work. The roads
had not been touched for decades.
and were merely trails over which
natives trudged to towns and vii
lagos with their produce. But the
American administrators of Havti's
road work seemingly overdid mat.
ters. The authors own words fol.
low:
when they were driven from tho
huts at the point of a gendarms
rifle, transported on their own bare
feet to distant parts of the country
and forced to labor for weeks under
armed guards it is natural that they
should have concluded that these
new-coming foreigners with white
skins were planning to reduce them
again to the slavery they had thrown
! OFT more than century before. The
result was that certain percentage
OF the forced laborers caught up any
weapon at hand and took to the hills
as cacos. If they have any definite
policy it is to initiate their fore
fathers and drive the white men from
the island.
! Zone chief announced the program
Of killing off the American men and
carrying their women off to the hills.
The mass Of Haytians believe that
the worlds supply of white men is
very limited; it is beyond their con-
ception that there are many fold
more OF them where these came
from. Their ancestors drove out the
French, and they not only did not
come back, but the blacks were never
subjected to any punishment-at
least any their simple minds could
recognize as such-for their revolt.
Why could not a new Toussaint
rOuverture accomplish the feat over
again?
Our mistake in the matter has
heen corrected. The American off,
Ger who countenanced, if he did not
sanction, these high-handed methods
has gone to new honors on other
fields Of battle; the young district
commanders whose absolute power
led them to apply too sternly their
, orders to build roads have returned
, to the ranks. and the corvee has been
. abolished. But the scattered revolt
/ persists, and in the opinion of all
but few temperamentally optimis-

. American, is due to continue for
: some time to come That forced
labor was not the cause of cacoism,
for it is in the Haytian blood to
turn caco, but it made a fertile field
of ignorant, disgruntled negroes

report on Hayti a year ago, which
became public only within ten days.
Genera. Barnett's report brought
out that since the United States

killed in action and twenty-six

Throwing down the gauntlet"
would be very expensive pastime
this year. A lady would need implicit
faith in her cavalier before she
would dare throw one of her gloves

her gallant, and the same lady Of
MEDIEVAL days whose "straying sad
gloves she was always mislaying," Z"
would endure severe memory jog
when she received the glove bill.
Much has been said this season
about 1t being 'the most ornate
year" in the fashion realm. Gar
nlent writer's have raved for full and
well about "the most ornate year"
for dresses, suits, wraps, shoes, and
vanity cases. And now we are awak-
ing to the fact that even the glove
which has remained quite stationary
for many seasons, is cutting up such
festive capers that we must now
write about "the most ornate year
for gloves"
The highest class specially shops
on Fifth Avenue are really astound-
ing their buying populace by show
ing them what can be done to a
glove. Even one year ago woman
kind would have gigled at the idea
OF encasing her hands in silk and
skins all bedecked with colored en-
broidery, painted designs, chenille
traceries, and beaded patterns.
But that is exactly what glove
departments are showing today The
counters look like suggestions for
period ball, or as if Arthur and His
Knights had surrendered their gaunt

BOOK MANY CENTURIES OLD
NeEv Testament In Manuscript, Mar
VeIously Preserved, Was Brought
to New York From Armenia.

One of the Oldest New Testament
manuscripts in the world, and the old
est, so far as Is known, in the United
States, was brought from Europe by
John Hahn, Hungarian. A dozen or
more full-page colored illustrations of
incidents in the life of Jesus begin the
volume. These are followed by two
pages Of historical data and several
more comprising a calendar.
Little Is known Of the history OF this
ancient Testament. A brief account of
its later adventures is given in the
center of the book, written in modern
Armenian by Jezeliel Arshaguni, who,
in 1895, wrote what he knew of its
story. During the reign Of Abdul
Hamiam, when the Turks were per-
scouting the Armenian people, pillag-
ing homes, demolishing chapels and
carrying away all the books, this vol
ume was saved because 1t was hidden
in water, doubtless in a well, until the
danger had passed. The book was
equal to the test. The ink stayed fast
and the parchment firm. Only the red
leather cover was loosened from the
canvas back, showing its wooden foun-
dation and scrap Of silk lining.

EmpIoved TWO parachutes.

Though the design and operation of
parachutes have been the subject of
practical experiments since the eight
eenth century, the American air serv-
ice is the first, it is believed, to test
the action and interaction of para
chutes used in pairs, says Popular
Mechanics Magazine. In experiments
performed at Mitchell field, Long Is
land, N. Y, sergeant strapped one
parachute on his back, as usual, and
a second on his chest. Thus encum-
bered he was carried, in a twoseater
plane, to height of approximately
one mile. Here he walked out on q
wing, pulled the release Of the rear
ward chute, and stepped into space.
The white bag opened nicely, and he
drifted down TO within less than 1000
feet. Here he pulled the second re-
lease, and the second parachute open
ed above him without entangling or in
terfering with the first.

The creation of new communist
group in Germany has not the dire
significance that many persons
would attribute to it.
American authorities here are in
clined to take this view Of the situ-
alton namely: THAT the left wing
formation merely separates the sheep
from the goats; 2-the creation of a
party favoring force and terror is
not new thing, for the persons
who now cast their lot with Moscow
are the people who have always
preached terror and practiced it
when they had chance.
And, above all, is the general
spirit of the German worker. He
has reached the point where things
go little more smoothly for him
than for the last few years. Unem-

erouchIneas pestroys ErIendshIp.

Nobody, of course expects man to
be eternally radiant with cheerfulness
and wreathed in smiles. But people
will not tolerate urbanity one day and
grouchiness the next in perpetual al
formation. People win not tolerate 1t
because they do not have to. Pleasant
friends who are more reliable in their
manner are not difficult to find. There
is no need Of putting up with a
'grouch."
Consequently the moody, instead Of
blaming others for their unpopularity
extraordinary, would far better re-
proach themselves. They are the ones
with whom the fault lies, and until
they overcome their moodiness they
may rest assured that solitude and un-
happiness will be their portion. - III.

not doubt that the parrot is endowed

TIBETAN DEAD NOT BURIED
Aftor Sllcing Away the Flesh the
Bones Are Pulverized and Then
Fed to the Vultures.

To bury bodies in the earth Is to
contaminate them, is the Tibetan view,
according to Rev. d. #. McGillicuddy,
pastor of st. Stephens church, OF
Worcester, Mass, who penetrated this
forbidden country In 1906.
Instead of burying their dead they
slice the flesh from all bodies and feed
II to the birds. After skillfully suit
ting away the flesh they pulverize the
bones and feed them to the vultures.
The temples used by these people
for centuries are still standing. In
front of many Of them are stumps Of
trees covered with butter, In which
devotees stick their offerings of coins.
Tibet is peopled by branch Of the
Mongolian race. The 100000 or 81
100000 population are a mixture OF
Chinese and Tibetans, as the races in
termarried. They believe in both poly
andry and polygamy.
1t is the most extensive elevated
country in the world, containing f5o,-
COO square miles, with an elevation
varying from 5000 to $4,000 feet. Its
climate is principally bleak and cold,
although the summers in the southern
part are mild and pleasant.
The first white man to enter Lhasa,
the capital, was Sir Francis Young
husband, who fought his way there In
1904.
Dalai Lama, religious head of the
Buddhist faith, which is the national
religion, was so overcome by the fact
that infidels had trodden the streets of
the forbidden city, that he fled the
country, and was for many years a
Manderer In northern China.
