Everywhere In New Guinea the traveler is continually brought faee to fnee with death, and the natives are devoid of the slightest pity or respect for the dead or dying, although after a death they will often wall and mourn for a considerable time. Murder is an ever day occurrence, and nothing could be worse than the morals of the natives. In fact, they have none. They thieve and lie with a persistence and cunning which are surprising. The Papuans have a cheerful cus­ tom which demands a life for a life. Should any one die at the first oppor­ tunity they hill some one—they are pot very particular whom—to mulse up for it, "While, we ' wore at Humbold bay," says Professor Pratt in the Wide World Magazine, "a Malay died of dropsy, He was the first Malay who had ever come to that part, and the Papuans greatly respected him, " ’Very well,’ they said, ‘we must shoot a Malay with our. bows and ar­ rows to pay for his death,’ And soon­ er or later some'iimoeent person would bo hilled to square the account, when everybody—except, presumably, the victim’s friends—would be satisfied."

At one time the officers under Lord Howe refused to drink his health at their mess, for, though a splendid ad- miral, he was not popular In the navy oh account of a certain shyness and want of tact with those about him. The chaplain, who was a protege of his lordship, was mortified at this and determined that the officers should drink to Lord Howe. When called upon for a toast one day ho said, "Well, gentlemen, I can'think of nothing bet­ ter at this moment than to ask you to drink the first two words of the Third Psalm, for a Scriptural toast for. once may be taken from one of my cloth.” The toast was drunk. Not one of the officers Indicated by word or look that ho was- ignorant of the. words alluded to. On referring to' the Bible It was found that the Third Psalm begins, "Lord, how are they increased?" Worth Her Weight In Butter, Curious customs still prevail with regard to matimge. In some parts of Uganda the custom is to offer six needles and a pack of India rubber for a wife. Some of the Kaffirs sacrifice oxen. The Tartars of Turkestan give the weight of the -prospective wife in butter. In Kamchatka the price va­ ries from one to ten reindeer. Some savages require a certain amount of labor. Among the aborigines it is said the current rate for a wife is a. box of matches, which prompted a Paris contemporary to speculate whether one of the French government boxes would be accepted, Mu X* M W W N V W W .V V A W .V .V .V A V W A V W .'A V .V .W A V .V liW V W .V .V A V A W A V W W A V i 1 , t ' • s Springfield’s New Store THE QUALITY SHOP IN THE ARCADE RUGS AND CARPETS OF QUALITY WALL PAPERS IN ALL THE NEWEST STYLES * WINDOW SHADES IN ALL KINDS AND COLORS LINOLEUM-‘“CELEBRATED SCOTCH GOODS” | \ ".*r FRAMED PICTURES - - - FULL LINE 1Prices Are Lowest Always THE STORE THAT’S MODERN IN GOODS, PRICES AND IDEAS.

Ask for it and for any information about Heating Tho Accident by Which tho Inventor's Loft Hand Was Blown Off—John Bori­ der’a Contempt For Dynamite—Mix­ ing Fir® and Nitroglycerin. . “It la practically impossible,” writes Hudson Maxim in Adventure, “ to make the ordinary laboring man ap­ preciate the necessity of care In the safo handling of explosives, and the life of the careful man la always en­ dangered by the actions of the care­ less one. . “After I had sold the works at Max­ im and hod-invented motorite I needed a place in which to make the material and hired a branch of the works there for that purpose. It was winter. My wife had accompanied, me ns a pre­ cautionary measure. She was sitting In the laboratory to keep warm, near a big barrel stove charged with bitu­ minous coal. “On entering the laboratory for something my w ife . asked me what was in those two tin pails sitting near the stove.- She said that she had a suspicion It might be nltrogylycerin, and she informed me that one of my men had Just been in stirring the fire and that the sparks ,flew out In all di­ rections, some of them lighting in tho buckets to.be quenched on top of tho oily liquid. ” ’Horrors!’ I said. ‘It is nitroglyc­ erin!’ “ I called the man who had placed it there and told him to take it away. As it whs necessary to keep the material from freezing ho took It into the boil­ er house near by. A little ,later on, go­ ing Into the boiler house, I saw one of the men stirring the fire while the oth­ er was standing with his coattails out­ stretched in either band, forming a shield to keep the sparks from flying into the nitroglycerin. "In the manufacture of high explo­ sives and in experimenting with them- a little nbsentroinclednoss, n very slight lack of exact caution, a seem- tugly insignificant inadvertence for a moment, may. cost one tt limb or his life. The accident that cost me my left bund is a case in point.' - "On the day preceding that, accident I had had a gold cap put on a tooth. In consequence tho tooth aclied throughout the night and kept me awake a greater part of the time. In the morning I .rose early and went down to my factory at Maxim, N. J. In order to test tho dryness of some fulminate compound I took a little piece Of it, about tho size of an Eng­ lish penny. Broke off a small particle, placed it on a stand outside the labo­ ratory and. lighting a match, touched It off. “Owing to my loss of sleep the night before my mind was hot so alert as' usual, and 1 forgot to lay aside the remaining piece of fulminate com­ pound. but instead held it in my left baud. A spark from the Ignited piece of fulminate^ compound entered my left hand between my fingers, Igniting tho piece there, with tho result that my hand was blown off to the wrist. “Once When entering my storage magazine at Maxim. In which were sovernl carloads of dynnmite along with S7.00Q pounds of nitrogelatln, I saw John Bender, ono of my employ­ ees, calmly but emphatically, opening a case of dynamite wltli a hammer and a chisel. I promptly dlsclmrged him. ■ . “Not long afterward the Innkeeper at Farmlngdnfe called on mo to buy some, dynamite and sold he had engag­ ed Behdor to blow' the stumps out of bis meadow lot. I told him Bender was courting death for himself and everybody around when handling dy­ namite, but Boniface still wanted Bender to do the work. ‘“ Well,* said I, ‘the dynamite you want is 10 cents n pound, but If John Bender does not succeed In blowing himself up and killing himself with the dynamite you can havelt for noth­ ing, On tho other hand, if he does blow himself up you must pay for the dynamite.’ “ A few days later there was some hitch Jn Bender's exceptional luck. A particularly refractory old stump had .resisted o couple of Bender’s dynamic attacks. The failure to dislodge tho stump Bender took as n personal af­ front because It reflected upon his skill as a stump blaster. " ‘Next time,' Said he, ‘something is going to happen.' He placed about twenty pounds of dynamite under tbe deep rooted veteran, touched It off, and several things happened In very quick succession. The huge- stump let go its hold on earth and proceeded to hunt Bender. “It was a level race, but the stump won. Striking Bender on the north quarter, It stove In four ribs, dislocat­ ed several joints and damaged him In several other respects and particulars, Bonlfaco came to settle for the dyna­ mite. : “ 'Sixteen cents a pound,’ I said. 'Bender hasn't a chance In a hundred. Walt till tho doctors are through with him.'. “ 'What do you say to a compro­ mise,' suggested Boniface, ‘of 8 cents a pound? For, really, I do not believe that Bender Is more than hnlf dead.' And the account was settled on that basis.” Kind words are tho brightest o f homo flowers. 'They make a paradiso of the humblest home. This Wicked World.
