asked: rs he hard to hit? If l can
hit him I can lick him"
Dempsey was told that Carpenter
was a sharp. accurate hitter and was
liable to whip anybody he could
reach with the first punch. The
champion, after thinking for a sec
ond. remarked that he had plenty Of
speed himself and was hitting with
greater force than ever.

Guinea, writes Rev. e. Cappers in
Catholic Missions, and describes one
OF these expeditions by the tribe O;

practice, he says, has been consider
ably checked by military expeditions.
nevertheless head-hunting is still quite
frequent In the interior. On the ap-
pointed day men, women and children
would hasten to the point Of embarka-
ton. At the approach Of their goal
the boats were anchored, and the en-
tire party stealthily entered the forest,
taking care not to give the alarm.
Extra care was needed once the de-
signated spot had been reached. On
the day before the attack the hunters
kept hidden in the bush, and during
the night they advanced far enough
70 launch the attack early before dawn.
occasionally, the hunters were hotly
received, but most of the time the in
tended victims were reused from their
sleep by the sudden war-cry Of the
whole attacking party, and had no
time to defend themselves. Victims
were. feIled by the dozen, many Of
them pierced through by the sharp
pointed arrows. So.
The victOrs yelled their war-cry and
repaired to their native haunts, where
days and nights Of feastlng awaited
them with song and dance, around the
gruesome trophy.

Far Away and Long Ago.

The brewers parade in New York
city in 1888 has never been duplicat-
ed. There were hogsheads entwined
In hop vines and live Bacchus was
the feature Of the marching fete. But
such a procession did once wend Its
way through New York streets, in eel
ebration Of the adoption of the fed
eral constitution. One historian saya
In part:
"The display Of the brewers was
happily conceived and appropriate. In
addition to their banners fiuttering
gayly in the air, they paraded cara
with hogsheads and tuns, decorated
with festoons Of hop vines intertwined
with handfuls of barley. Seated on
the top Of tun was living Bacchus
"a beautiful boy of eight years
dressed in flesh-colored silk, fitted
snugly to the limbs, and thus disclos-
ing all his fine symmetrical propAr-
lions. In his hand he held a silver
goblet, with which he quaffed the nut
brown, and on his head was q garland
oe hops and barley ears"

DEMAND FOR PLAYING CARDS
Manufacturers Report a Tremendous
Increase In Their uss, Mostly In
Private Families.

There has been q tremendous In
crease In the use Of playing cards In
private families within the last 20
years In this country, the representa-
tive Of big American card-manufac-
turing house says in the New York
Times. 1t may seem strange, but 1t Is
the private family that does most Of
the using Of cards. The proportion Of
playing-cards used In the big clubs is
small. There Is an average of from
two to three packs Of playingcards
used per family each year in the
United States, 1t is estimated, which
Is big percentage Of the total.
Mems clubs absorb the higher-priced
cards, which are sold at prices vary
ing, according to the club, from 81 to
$3.50 or 81 per pack. The government
tax on cards since 1917, which was
raised last year to 8 cents per pack,
with increased cost of production, has
practically driven the cheaper cards
out Of the market, and business has
gone to the higher grades, which re-
tail at from 30 to IS cents. The In
creased playing of bridge has brought
into vogue the narrower card, which Is
more graceful in shape, smaller and
little less bulky.
The bulk of the cards sold have a
simple standard design for the back
Among those the best liked in the
better class are the ones with the fine
steel-engraved or "baDknote' back, en-
graved with the lathework design.
These come in the four colors and now
have q linen-finish face.

GREAT VICTORY FOR SCIENCE
Cure Said to Be Assured for the
Worlds Greatest Scouree, the
Plague of Leprosy.

The news from Hawaii indicates
! that science has at last found the sure
| and systematic way to the cure of this
/ worlds most appalling disease. OF the
| AZ former lepers who have been pa
/ rolled from the Kallbi hospital in the
last two years none has been sent
! back.
| 1t is peculiar that the plague which
| has troubled the world at least sixty
centuries, and probably much longer.
! should eventually be controlled by one
of the oldest remedies ever used for
It. To modern science is due the dis
cOvery Of the bacillus of leprosy, but
hts cure Is accomplished with refined
chaullnoOgra oil, the essence of an In
dian plum, which has been used by
lepers in the East for centuries.
Science has improved on native prac-
tice not only in the oil but In its appli-
cation.
To world which has 100000 lep-
erS the success of the doctors at
kalili Is heartening. China, when bet
ter days come, can set about the cure
of her 100000 stricken. India has
100000 lepers. Japan 10000. And the
United States has had a big leper prob
lem which the developments in Hawaii
should soon solve. While the cases of
leprosy in the continental United
States are few-perhaps not 30A-we
have thousands of lepers In our island
possessions, particularly the Philip
pines. Now that the way is clear our
medical service can go ahead there as
