Husbands Beat Each of Their Wives
With a Different Club.
The marriage customs of the Pap-
pans are somewhat similar to those
of many other savage vaces. The cer- |
emony is largely a matter of purchase.
The men marry when they are about
eighteen years of age and the girls at
fourteen or even earlier.
When a young lake man desires to
get married he visits the father of his
prospective bride and puts forward
his personal belongings as au induce-
ment to the father to consent to the
union.
If a man has a gun he is a great per- |
sonage and can demand anything. but
besides their bows and arrows and
spears most of the the Papuans have |
very little. Even agricultural produce
is scarce, the only cultivation under- |
taken being on a very primitive scale.
A little clearing is made by both
men and women, and the women then
grow bananas and sweet potatoes.
The men are always armed, and when
the women zo to the patch to attend '
to their crops or gather the produce
the men go with them as a protection.
The women, however, do the work.
Many families have a bundle of an-
elent Portuguese cloth centuries old,
and when a young man is seeking a
one of these heirlooms is gener- |
rt of the deal. The youth and |
s father haggle over the mar-
til eventually they agree to
and then the thing is done.
men are not limited to one wife,
once a girl is married she is sab-
to her husband in everything and
practically his slave.
“In another part of New Guinea,”
says a writer in the Wide World mag- |
3 g
Hass
azine, “I remember n distinctly strong |
confirmation of the custom which
places a woman at the entire mercy
of her husband. At one house I visit-
ed I saw standing outside the doorway
three huge stone clubs. each large
enough to fell a bullock.
“On making inquiries I found that
they tallied with the number of wives
owing allegiance to the houscholder.
The clubs were used hy the man to
beat his wives with if they annoyed
him. The quaint part of it was that
whiie the women seemed to raise no
objection to being flogged nnmerciful-
Iy by their lord and master they
would not he beaten with the same
.weapon as that used on another wo-
man, so the native kept a separate club
for each wife.”
DEATH IN THEIR WORK.
Dangers That Beset Those Who Toil
in Alkal’ Factories.
Do you like your work?
When you are inclined to be discon-
tented with it think of the alkali work-
ers. They die by inches from the mo-
ment they enter the factories. Things |
are not so bad now as they once were,
but they are bad enough still.
In what is known as the “black ash”
department in chemical works big!
open vats of caustic are used. The
splashing of this caustic sends drops
of the burning fluid fiying through the!
alr. A drop falling upon naked flesh
causes a bad burn. A drop in the eye]
will blind it forever if the stuff is not |
removed within a few seconds. |
A black ash worker in a Welsh al-|
kali factory, tolling at the caustic pots, |
received an invisible globu'e of this,
deadly spray in his eye. There was
no water at hand with which to wash |
out the caustic. It seemed that he
must surely zo blind. But one of his
mates seized on the injured man, who
was quite frantic with pain, lifted his
eyelid with forefinger and thumb and
with his tongue licked out the caustic.
He burned his tongue badly, but he
saved the ether poor fellow’s sight.
Another of the dangers that beset the
alkali worker--and the worst of them
all—is poisoning by chlorine acid gas.
This gas, which comes off the lime in
thin green fumes, is known to the men
and joked about as “Roger.” A full in-
draft of the gas kills a man in an
hour. Pearson's Weekly.
End of the Trail.
“I lost a pocketbook with a roll of
bills in it a few weeks ago,” Charlie
Gibson told us. “I didn’t make a fuss
about it and tell the papers, but it
was more than I could afford to lose.
So I put a detective on it. He asked a
lot of questions, looked wise and said
he'd report in a day or two. Well,
about three days later I found that
pocketbook where I had mislaid it. I
rejoiced exceedingly, and then I called
up the detective agency to confess.
The sleuth seemed disgusted.
“\lighty careless of you,”” he said,
‘And I'd just found a darned good
clew too!” "—Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Sydney Smith's Criticism.
The story is told in Mr. Barry
O'Brien's book on John Bright how on
one occasion Sydney Smith, while look-
ing critically at the unfinished portrait
of a celebrated nonconformist divine,
said to the artist, “Do you not think
you could throw into the face a
stronger expression of hostility to the
established church?”
Conscience.
There are moments when the pale
and modest star, kindled by God in
simple hearts, which men call con:
science, 1llumines our path with truer
light than the flaming comet of genius
on its magnificent course.—Mazzini.

SPECTER SHIPS.
. Legends of Shadowy Craft of the New |
The coast of New England has nu- |
merous legends concerning specter
ships firmly believed by the rugged |
| fishermen, who assert stoutly that on |
various occasions glimpses of the
shadowy craft have been seen, fol-
lowed invariably by fatal disaster.
The specter of the Palentine is occa-
and is the forerunner of a gale of |
wind. She was a Dutch trading ves-
sel and was wrecked off Block island
in 1752. The wreckers, it is said, made
short work of her, stripping her fore |
| and aft and setting fire to the hull. i
As she drifted blazing off the coast a |
amid the |
lames, the form of a female passen- |
ger, left to perish on the doomed |
craft. Since and generally upon the |
anniversary of the wreck a phantom |

there are girls who operate hemming |
machines. A thousand yards of hem- |
med goods is 2 day's work for one of |
these girls. The machines doing this |
job attain a speed of some 3.000 rev-

has been done the cloth or silk is cut
into triangular pieces with a knife, as
before, but with a pattern laid upon
the cloth. The next operation is the |
sewing of the triangular pieces to-!|
gether by machinery. |
