| BETROTHAL OF THE JUNGLE ’fllldm and Intended Each Supposed b to Meditate on Advisability of it Union Before Ceremony. A second beating of tomtoms thun- dered through the barrio. The bride was coming! Down an avenue made ror- her by women of the tribe slowly crept the tiny figure. It was draped . the softest eastern stuffs; jeweled ets and bangles tinkled merrily. /A gauzy vell of wondrous workman- - ship swathed the figure, but through it ang recognized his beloved Papita. ! Slowly she approached ; fearfully she raised her eyes to the man who await- . her, Florence Partello Stuart writes in St. Nicholas. Her little feet fal- ‘tered, and Papita leaned heavily against the woman who supported her. | But at that moment Plang gave a strange whistle, three soft notes of a mina bird floated over the barrio and Papita became suddenly alive. Again the notes stole through the jungle. The bride threw back her veil. j “The unwilling maid seems to hava forgotten her woe,” said one scornful ‘woman to another. p | The priestess commenced the cere. mony that was to last all night. It was filled with weird chants to which Papita responded with renewed vlgor{ But her eyes furtively glanced toward g spot near the curve of the creek where & slender reed swayed unceasingly. After' several hours the .priestess led the way to the water and Ynoch placed Papita in her gala vinta and pushed her out into the stream. He got into another and the two boats nosed each other while the crowd show-, ered them with oils and perfumes. When the command came to part, the; boats shot off in opposite directions. A maiden and a bridegroom are each; supposed to meditate, in Oriental fash- fon, an the advisability of the union be- fore the final ceremony; so read the' Dyak marriage laws. AMERICANS’ ONE GREAT IDEA Happiness Has Principal Charm—The People Are the Most lIdealistic and_Imaginative. “The Americans are the most ideal- stic and imaginative people in the’ world, and the most prosaic, because, like Wordsworth, the most prosaic of, poets, they belleve in happiness, and happlness to them as to Wordsworth means ‘mens sana in corpore sano; every one efficlent In the tasks of mod- -ern life, the least heroic of doctrines.’ “I met a young American poet, hand- some, and besides elated by winning some prize or other for a poem. He said to me in his arrogant way that poetry is a by-product of life. Why, L sald, ‘it is life itself.’ ‘I don't agree; with you,” was all he condescended to reply. This young man expressed the! American idea. ' “I think the English dislike of the- ories, etc., through their long history. 1s because of their poetical minds and! thelr preoccupation with personality, and its freedom. ¢ “The taste for scenery has this ad- vantage over the taste for human na- ture; the heart is not bruised. Yet since scenery is never absurd as are poor mortals, neither is there laughter nor genial pity. We love scenery pflnclpnlly because the feelings it cre- ates are tranquil and easily controlled so that we can enjoy our full measure. of - self-content; dealing with human nature, the poet cannot be the supe- rior person nor can he be proud.”— From the Letters of John Butler Yeats. About Cork. A good, sound cork is something worth taking care of and using prop- erly, Never “waggle” a cork out of a bottle. That is the best way to break or at least spring a crack in the cork. Remove the cork with a turning or twisting movement, always in one direction only, 1. e, not a twist one way and then ih the opposite way. Replace the cork with the same twist as when removing it. Never lay a cork down on a dirty, splashed table. If it must be lald down, stand it on its crown or top. For bottles contalning liquids in use, e. g., developers, etc., attach the cork to the bottle thus: Pass a crochet needle through the top of the cork, and with its aild draw the end of a plece of fine twine right through the cork, and tie this end of the string round the neck of the bottle, so adjusting matters that the cork just fails to reach the table (i. e., bottom of the bottle) when the cork and string are free. This saves the cork getting lost in the darkroom. Makes Eggs Tell Their Age. A novel and rapld way where\)y to determine the age of an egg has been developed by M. Grossfeld, a French investigator. He has supplemented the usual method by one dependent on specific gravity, notes the Boston Transcript. The existing way where- by to determine the age of eggs Is by .candling them and taking note of the “mirage which forms about the yolk.” Mr. Grossfeld has determined that spe- cific gravity of normal eggs in the way attributed to Archimedes, and there has been figured out the loss in gravity. for each week of keeping. For quick thspection of qualities of eggs, he has devised a form of hydrometer. The egg takes the place of the weight- ed bulb and the scale indicates the ; specific gravity and at the same time the age of the egg. A little cage has been arranged to hold the egg and is capable of quick handling. Big eggs and little eggs are subject to errors in the readings, but with eggs fn the vi-' clnity of 55 grammes the indication is (nstantaoeous, MIDDLE WEST CONQUERS SNOW : TRAFFIC SLOWLY RESUMED (By' United Press) Chicago, Jan. 14.—The middle west has ‘ conquered the terrific snows and blizzards, the record fall for a generation. Mails and im- portant freight are being given pref- erence. Fuel and food are also be- ing routed through and shortages are being relieved by volunteer shovel- ers. BOLSHEVIKI ARE WORKING TO MAKE PETROGRAD SANITARY (By Unitea Press) Petrograd, Jan. 14.—The Bolshe- viki are working to make Petrograd clean and a decent city in which to live. Over 300 gamblers have been arrested and drunks are arrested as fast as they appear. The food situ- ation is also being cleared up and plans are on foot to organize an all- Russia congress like France in 1792. wrain tne Memory. . The memory is a faculty which through patient practice may be cultl- vated and trained to a wonderful de. gree. Morphy, the celebrated chess player, could play several games of chess simultaneously without seeing any of the boards on which the various games were being conducted. It was a peculiarly impressive sight to see him standing in the middle of the floor, with his arms folded, defending him- self and attacking the various oppo- nents, with the position of the chess men on the severgl boards always ip his mind’s eye, observes a writer. The noted Jesuit Father Suarez was sald to have known all the works of St. An: gustine by heart. These consist of eleven large volumes. Pascal is sald never to have forgotten anything he read, and the same is told of Grotius, Leibnitz and Euler. Themistocles knew the name of every one of the twenty thousand citizens of Athens, After the war. In 1914, the old world, as we know f{t, suddenly became without form and void, and darkness was upon the face of the deep; but now we begin to be- lleve that all the time the spirit of God was moving upon the face of the waters, and that presently he shall say, “Let there be light,” writes Mar- garet P. Montague, in the Atlantic. The first act of the great drama was war and blood and destruction; but now there begins to be a great hope flaring through the darkness in many different quarters, and voices of many watchmen set upon towers begin to cry the glimmer of daybreak. Perhaps the world, sailing a dark track, has all ,long been headed toward a great con- summation.—“Time's burst of dawn.” Business Fallures in Holland. Consul Frank W. Mahin reports from Amsterdam that the number of | business failures in Holland during the first nine months of 1917 was 679, in comparison with 799 and 1,059 dur- ing the corresponding periods of 1916 and 1915, respectively. The number also declined in 1915 compared with 1914. Failures have decreased about one-half since the war began. The First Waving Flags. Waving flags are said to have been first brought to Spain by the Saracens. The present Spanish colors, ved and vellow, came from the c!d shields of Castile and Aragon. - Mot Necessary.
