It is a tale of crooks from the pen of Louis Victor Eytinge, a “lifer” in the Arizona state prison. served about fourteen, years for a crime of which he was convicted on circumstantial .evidence.

No clergyman ties the knot; no Lo- hengrin motif fills the air at a Vella Lavella marriage ceremony. The lit- tle bride-to-be, the most attractive and talented actress I could find for the role on. Vella Lavella, is standing in the doorway of her father's house, as she would stand if she were actually being married, Edward A. Salisbury writes. in Asla Magazine. The hus- band is selected according to the numn- ber of pigs and the amount of shell money he can pay for the girl; she goes to the highest bidder without hav- ing a word to say in the matter. The father, by touching the presents, sig- nifies that he hag accepted them. The marriage ceremony is then over. The one missionary on the island has nat- urally opposed this practice of selling brides. The natives were quick to learn this, and flocked to the mission station to marry the mission girls, be- cause they did not have to pay for them. But the fathers of these girls created a lively disturbance because they felt that they were being cheat- ed out: of sthe customary presents. Finally the missionary was forced to compromise. He permitted the father to receive;, presents, provided the daughter was married in church. Then he would tell-the groom that he was now a misslon man and must live at the mission. and work at gathering copra. But the rebellfous husband often took his bride back to his village, Two Sides_of Body Don’t Match. The human body is mnot built symmetrically. One-half of the face is not exactly like the other half. .If a lne is drawn separating the two halves of the physique, well-marked differences | may be noticed between them. The;sculptors of Classic times recognized this -anomaly, and repre- sented it in their statues. Venus of Milo, for example, has an asymmetrical face, that 1s, one in which proportions are not consistent. Most persons haye heavier bones on the right side than the left. The two sides of the face vary. The eye sockets in both face and skull are of different size. The face usually seems to be shoved over toward the right side.! The ears dre usually ot different size and differently modelled. The shoul- ders are not of the same height, and are removed varying distances from an imaginary dividing line drawn through the center of the body.

There are today in New York state 789 women in the building trades in- cluding women carpenters, electricians, house painters, glaziers, paper hang ers, plasterers, plumbers, and even stone, cutters. There are also women working as common laborers for the railroads. We have had factory workers, to be sure, for long years,-but in the past they have ‘been chiefly employed as semi-skilled operators in clothing, tex- tile and similar industries. Today, New York state boasts 2,610 in lum- ber ‘and furniture work; 6,302 doing semi-skilled tasks.in steel and iron and 3,217 working among the other; metals ; while 1,107 work in clay, stone or glass. The combined list of mill workers and skilled operators runs considerably more than 300,000 for the state. Such tasks are not so anti-Victorian] as ‘quarrying; mining, stevedoring, of| course, in which women are also en- gaged, but they are still a far cry from the kitchen stove, the parlor dust cloth and the nursery.—Florence Guy Woolston in the New Republic. Huge Jellyfish. A fellyfish of beautiful, translicent blue, weighing close of 60 pounds, was washed ashore on the south of Eng: land coast recently. The creature has seven odd-looking pink-hued tentacies protruding below the body of it and had two orifices resembling gills to breathe ' through. - Some of us have vivid recollections of being stung bad- 1y by small ones and tremble to think what such a big fellow as this could do.—Exchange.
