NOT YET FULLY CIVILIZED
Solomon islanders at Times Apt to &c
Back to Pleasant Diversion of
Head Hunting.

The Solomon islands are famous; as
n of the last strongho!ds of head
hunting and c~annibalism. Some Of
the natives have been converted to 8
civilized respect for human life, but
the native taste of the Solomon island
er still approves a ceremonial feast
once In a Willie, with several members
OF a hostile tribe lastly cooked anC
served.
Head-huntfng has for centuries beer
a part Of the islanders religion and
is pursued with great ze,,l and a kind
Of ecstatic enjoyment to all EXCEPT
the victims. Head-hunters from one
tribe set out for a hunt to the lands
of another tribe. They swoop down
on Il village, seize as many victims as
possible and escape. The trophies OF
the chase are impaled op posts as evi.
dence of the hunters p:owess, while
the feast which follows consists main
~ of the victims.
If the attacked tribe Knows OF the
plan beforehand 1T vii! retire to fAs
tree house where 1t Is safe for a
while. These houses are built fifty or
sixty feet from the, ground in the
branches on siant trees. Ladders hang
from them and up tt esq the agile ma
lives climb I'D then pull up the lad
der.
Usually hunt is now instituted
only for O e Or two sacrifices, and
skulls as dt corations in the houses are
less fashiol sble than they once were.
This is a favorable sign. but the real
Islander is far fl ON tame and
it apt to relapse any time into the
ways of his fathers.

REAL ESTATE ASSOCIATION.

The various forms making un
the applications for license under
the new real estate law have been
sent out to the real estate agents.
brokers and statesmen through
a the State, as well as to the mem
Sbcrs Of the State Commission,
form whom they can be procured.
Meyer Eiscman, president Of
the board, has issued letter urg.
ing it as the duty of every man
and woman collecting commits
slons from the sale or leasing Of
real estate or Of any kind Of bus
mess TO comply with the law.
Otherwise, he says. there will be
severe penalties. I'm addition he
asked for information that will
assist in locating people posing as
real estate agents but who make
every effort to avoid payment Of
their Just and proper dues.

the law" says Mr.. Eiscman. ode

operation Of the profession and
the public whom we are cndeav-
oring to protect. There are hun
dreds of persons with their off
ces in their hats who undertake
|, to handle real estate transactions
without protection or safeguards,
we have no special means Of trac-
ing these and bringing them into
line We are depending on the
reputable agents who are comply
ing with the law to post us upon
those who are operating outside
Of the law"
The policy Of the board is ap-
parent from the fact that a meet
ing has been agreed upon for
December 28th, when all Of the
applications on hand will be
passed upon, so that licenses may
be issued and delivered by the
hrSt OF the year.
As in the case Of every law. itI
is said there are differences Of
opinion about the Interpretation
Of some Of its provisions. The
first raised was regarding the
status Of an agent who does bus
mess in several parishes, as the
law grades the bonds in accord
ance to the population Of the par
ish in which the applicant re-
sides. Judge Luther r. Hall, as
