KNOW NOTHING OF LAUGHTER
Most Solemn People In the World
Said to Be aboriginal In
habitants Of Ceylon.

Laughter and the faculty of being
merry and bright are gifts of the gods
to world III which there is not .oo
much sunshine at any time. But this
gift. according to scientists, has been
denied to the veddas. the aboriginal
inhabitants of Ceylon.
They are the only people in the
world who never laugh, eld In conse-
quence they are thin and .labby folk.
For nearly 1000 years. according to
the best chronicles. these people. now
almost extinct, have preserved the
same characteristics. and no one has
ever seen smile on the face of one
of them or heard laugh while in
their section of Ceylon.
Why these people do not smile Is
mystery. They alone of all the people
on the earth know nothing of the sen
sation of laughter.
A scientist, who journeyed to Ceylon
for the purpose Of investigating this
question, persuaded some of them to
permit him to tickle them in the ribs
and in the middle of their feet with
straws. He never caught even the
flicker of a smile on their faces, nor
did he ever succeed in making one OF
them squirm during the operation.
Another strange thing about the
Veddas, and one which may possibly
be connected with their lack of humor,
is the fact that every one Of them Is
George Washington, unable to tell
lie or to conceive Of anyone else tell
ing a lie.
They cannot even believe that any
one would take the property Of any
one else, and association with civiliza-
ton has failed to convince them that
1t is possible.
With all this-or, rather. without
all this-the veddas are a peaceable,
gentle, quiet people. They take wives
without any marriage ceremony, and
are faithful and constant to them.

Victory for Cupid.

Weddings in Japan increased in 1922
despite an old superstition that con
siders the year unlucky. At the Hibiya
shrine only, they numbered 300 more
than in 1921, but the ceremonies were
conducted under the most economical
plan.
The Hibiya shrine has six classes of
weddings, ranging from IS to 70 yen.
During the war most families desired
the first or second class ceremonies.
rated 10 or so yen, but this years
weddings were generally performed
with the pine, bamboo or plum classes,
the cost being respectively 25, 20 and
10 yen. Whereas there used to be
elaborate receptions and banquets,
nowadays invitations are sent out de-
clining wedding gifts In the hope of
making the entire affair as simple as
possible.

SHOWED LIFE IN OLD EGYPT
Remarkable Picture Of Daily Routine
of Thousands Of Years Ago Re-
vealed in Tomb.

1t is difficult to believe that anything
happening today is as significant or as
interesting as things that happened in
Egypt few thousand years back. Be-
sides, the history of present-day Egypt
might as well be that of India or Syria
or any number of other countries. The
effort to attain self-relaxation, natural
self expression, is now Il matter of
stenciled pattern. 1t involves trite
slogans. 1t makes use of the familiar
weapons of boycott and strike. 1t Is
recklessly eXtravagant with ink.
do not mean to belittle national as
pirations-but the exploring mind finds
greater novelty in the marvellous de-
llneation Of Egyptian life on the walls
of IT'S tomb at Sakkara, Gertrude EN-
erson writes in Asia. The sacriticial
bulls are hobbled and thrown. III and
his wife inspect the forced fattening
of geese, the feeding of cranes in the
poultry-yard. She kneels by his side,
and together they watch the harvest
operations, the reaping of corn, the
loading of sacks upon the backs of
asses, the treading out of grain by
the oxen. Three village elders are
brought to the. estate office by over
seers to give evidence concerning
taxes. Ships are being built, with
animated conversation going on among
the workmen. Carpenters are saving
men are blowing furnace The life
of the Delta is depicted with thou
sand intimate details. Ii is sailing
through the papyrus marshes in boat,
experimenting fishing and bird-snar-
ing. Some Of the men harpoon hip
popotamuses while others draw in the
fishnets and empty the narrow-necked
baskets. hippopotamus bites croco-
ollie. The thickets are filled with
birds, fiuttering about or sitting on
their nests. Cattle returning from
pasturage are led through the shallow
water; one man carries a sheep on his
back. Two dwarfs are seen leading
pet ape and leash of greyhounds.
And l came up out of the crowded
tomb with its marvellous lore of life
and retraced my steps across the sand

strewn and bits of broken blue porce-
lain continually catch the eye, past

little village Of Nit Rahineh, which
once was Memphis, and SO back to
Cairo. with its cosmopolitan uproar,
Its sophisticatlOn, Its flarlng hatred of
Europe and It's newborn interest in
politics. The tomb seemed far closer

Government ApprentlcIno System.

The Australian government mas lalO
the foundation for future supply Of
good workmen by regulating the ap-
prentice system by which the interests
of all the parties concerned are taken
care of. The pay, care instruction and
amusement of apprentices are pre-
scribed in carefully prepared laws. In
certain specified districts, instruction
from state or continuation trade
school, approved by the authorities,
must be given for not less than five
hours week for not less than three
years and this must be given on the
time of the employer. If the appren-
tice elects to take such course in his
own time allowance must be made for
1t upon his term Of apprenticeship.
Apprentices must be allowed all holi-
days or paid for their services upon
such days at the rate allowed for adult
workmen. All disputes between ap-
prentices and employers must be set
tied by the board which has the power
to prescribe punishment in the shape
of fine.
