SATISFIED WITH THE SAR0NG
Women Of ceyIon Refuse to Worry
Over the DEGREES Put Forth by
Dame Fashion.

The women Of Ceylon do not bow
the knee to Dame Fashion, but are
content with the sarong-one long
strip Of cotton wound round the
body-which is all most Of the women
Of Handy wear. The sarong was all
that the majority of women asked in
the days when Handy formed the back
ground for the pageantry Of an orr
entail court Randy was the last
stronghold Of the Singalese rulers.
Portuguese and Dutch tried In vain
to subdue the city and the little noun
tain kingdom; but the way to Handy
was through narrow passes, surround
ed by jungles Many lives we're lost
In vain assaults. For 20 years after
the British took Ceylon the last king
of Randy successfully resisted inva-
sion. Finally, In 1916, he was cap
tured and sent into exile. The tenn.
pies and palaces and royal tombs Of
Randy speak of the old days of splen-
did show. But they are silent con-
corning the intrigue and treachery and
cruelty and extortion that blackened
the last years Of Slngalese rule In
Ceylon. Those dark years are forgot
ten now. Life runs smoothly under
wise government.

ARE ALL OF ROYAL BLOOD
Going Back Thousand Years, Ances-
tors Of at Least Three Races
We're Monarchs.

Even allowing for numerous inter-
marriages Of relatives It is highly
probable that all people Of English or
French or German stock are descended
from common ancestors Of thousand
years ago.
A book has been published recently
In which several Of our Presidents,
heads Of universities and captains Of
industry and finance are shown to be
descended from Charlemagne This
distinction is one which they share
with probably more than half the citi-
zens OF this republic. Einhart, the
contemporary biographer Of Charlie
magne, says that he had nine wives,
besides many concubines, and although
he was fond of his children he never
knew how many he had. If II were
possible to trace our genealOgles far
enough into the past and through all
the qualifications II would be found
that all of us are literally descendants
of Alfred and Charlemngne and VIII
liam the Conqueror and Of any and
every other person Of one thousand
years or more ago who left many
Notwithstanding nonentities and
worse we hunt up our noble ancestors
and forget Others.--FrOm "The Direc-
ton Of Human EvOlutions," by Edwin
Grant COnklin.

II only the hen could emulate the
fish in the matter Of laying eggs The
cod tops the list with nine million an
nunlly, then comes the sturgeon with
seven and half million. Another
great producer Is the founder, which
just touches the million. The mack
erel deposits half a million eggs, the
perch four hundred thousand, while
the humble herring is content with
a paltry ten thousand. Eggs are gen
orally deposited In sand or gravel,
though the fish which live on the bed
Of the ocean attach their eggs to sea-
weed. Fish are almost entirely car
nivorOus, and have no compunction
whatever in swallowing their own
young. It is by smell rather than by
sight that they obtain their food.

the others. Frank left his car be-
low and walked up narrow lane,
through a garden Of old-fashioned
flowers, fruit trees, grape vines and
White Leghorn chickens to a vine
hung front porch. Repeated ringing
at the bell brought at last neat
little old lady who was so deaf that
Frank could not make her understand
his errand. At last faint, sweet
voice came from another room.
please come in here" 1t said;
Granny is deaf and cannot hear"
The young man opened the door
into delightful living room, where
on sagging old couch before the
fire he found girl, wan and big
eyed. with soft brown curls tumbling
into her marvellous eyes. She was
racked with terrible cough, and be-
fore she could speak Granny gave
her spoonful of medicine. AS the
old lady put the cup back on the
table she peered into 1t anxiously.
TITS most gone, darling" she said In
the unconsclously loud voice Of the
very deaf. And where the next's
coming from l." remembering
Frank, she put finger on her lip and
hurried out Of the room. The girls
face was suffused with bushes and
there w9s palpitatipg breath that
Frank did not like He told her his
name.

send you'll could not get any mes

"Have you good doctofff he asked
abruptly.
Granny 10 my doctor-she hos home
remedies-always helps me-" the girls
voice died out as she fell asleep,
Frank went out into the kitchen
and communicated with Granny by
means Of pencil and paper, az was
so anxious about the sick girl that
he quite forgot his original errahd,
and by the time he had telephoned
for his own physician and q trained
nurse, and brought carload Of ne
cesslties and luxurles to fill the empty
larder, had ordered Ice and fruit and
flowers, It was dusk and he looked
younger and happier than If he had
played q round OF golf. But there was
latent anxiety In his eyes as no des-
cribed the condition Of tho sick girl.
II shall take her South with me

Frank stared.

hole In the lining and 1t slipped be-
tween the layers of silk, shall look
more thoroughly next time"
Frank smiled sheeplshly. DO you

lieve that when I hunted the thimble

self"
And Mrs. Isham gave Viola the gold
thimble for an engagement present

II seems that the sea is an Anglo
Saxon heritage. English literature re-
fleets 1t, and its moods have ever been
portrayed in English verse. To the
North, the Scottish bards sang of their
own wild heaGlands and skerrIes, to
the South, the Devons followed Drake
and Frobisher to the Seven Seas.
Surprisingly, some Of the worlds
greatest poems are eplcs Of open wa
ter. The Odyssey, for instance, and
the Aeneid. In those days, Greece
and Rome were the maritime nations
Of the earth, and their romance Of
conquest and Of commerce found
ready expression In their literature.
Nowadays, the AnglO-Saxons hold the
shipping Of the seas, and sea songs
seem as Inevitable to English poets
and to some Amerlcans-as roman
tic rondels and sonnets did to the
old Gallo school.--Chrlstian Science

"Yes, Miss Lawson had been with

her-I will start on 1t this afternoon
Il was planning some golf but we
must clear up this matter"
II have searched the house thor
oughly and questioned the servants
closely, and l am mystified. I was
very fond, of Viola Lawson"
II don't remember the girl, but here
goes for a test Of my superior knowl-
edge, motherklns"
He kissed her tenderly and went
out to the speedy little car which
stood at the curbstone. He called irst
on Mrs. Benny, large and rosy
widow who insisted upon taking his
call as n personal compliment to her
charms. She was reluctant to talk
about Viola Lawson.
LOui ilt W.
Viola" said Mrs. Bonny pettish1y. IT

somewhere over on the factory side
Of the town. She has had n superior
education and evidently had known

Nothing serious" evaded Frank.
"She hasn't been In for ten days and
mother thought she might be ILL.,"
"I1l ask the nursery governess.
Hllda Nelson" and Teresa teetered
out on her high-heeled pumps, look
ing like an animated satin-covered
plncushion. When she returned, she
bore a card on which Miss Nelson,
had scrubbed few lines. "Some
number on Beaver street." remarked
the widow as she gave II to Frank.
Presently Frank found himself in
the little gray car threading street
Of little cottages, all built Of fllmsy
materials and, In spite Of their new
ness, bearing look Of instability.
At the end Of the street, tiny old
fashioned house left over from another
century was perched on slope above

WELCOME TO HEAD HUNTERS
Ceremony Follows Return Of vletors
With Their Grewsome Trophies
Women In Welcoming Party.

Prof. Carl LumholtE, in his book,
Through Central Borneo," gives an
intimate description Of head hunting
among the tribes there. He gives a
description Of a raid by ten Bukats
upon small party Of Saputans who
were on hunt. The slayers hurried
off with three heads.
The last night out the head hunters
always sleep near their own kapong.
and early next morning, while 1t is
still dark, they come singing. The PEG.
pie of the kampong awake, array them
selves in their best flnery and go to
meet them, the women wearing their
newest skirts and bringing pieces Of
cloth to present to the conquerors. A
head Is carried suspended from the
conqueror's neck until 1t is taken from
him by woman, who gives him a
piece of cloth to wear instead, pos
, sibly as badge of heroism. 1t makes
no difference whether this service Ia
performed by his wife, by another
woman or by another mans wife.
NNS"uS oAO ehSii huhB lEolh u ueuih ia
the house of the kapala, and the cloths
are returned to the women. The head
hunters must take their food apart
from their associates, and in the pres
ence of the heads they have taken.
At meals pinch Of rice is put into
a hole made with spear point in the
top Of the skull, and the head is ad-
dressed in certain words: Fiat this
rice. Don't be angry. Take care Of
me. Make this body of mine WELL"
During the period of restrictions i'm
posed upon the hunters the heads re-
main in the same place, sharing the
meals In this manner. After twelve
days no more food is offered the
heads.
