found White Customs « Hard to Understand A naked South sea cannibal once toll! Jack McLaren, the globe < rotter, that he could not underMund why whites dressed In the daytime and undressed at night.' ••Ju the night, when It le cold, we people put our clothes on," he said | n effect; “and in the daytime, when It Is 'hot, we take them off!" In a remote Solomon island village » man asked McLaren was It true, as be had heard, that in white mens 'countries the people quarreled ami stole so much that strong men culled policemen continually walked tins streets to keep the peace. In his village, he said, there was little qtuirrellng. except with other villages or with Intruder®, and hardly any stealIng at all. He said he had thought thut white men would have known better than to behave like that. Another savage thought It strange that whites rejoiced and made hull’day only at specified times, such as Christmas and Easter. His people, he said, Jubilated Just whenever they felt 'like it, which, incidentally, was very often Indeed. He thought that our capacity for enjoyment must be extremely limited, In that we laid to have special times and arrangements for It. Degrees of Kinship Easy to Determine Reckoning cousin relationships is simple if yon start out right, A cousin Is one collaterally related by descent from a common ancestor, but not a brother or sister. Children of brothers and sisters are first cousins to one another; sometimes they are called couslnsgerman, ow*Ti cousins, or full cousins. The children of first cousins are "second cousins" to one another; children of second cousins nre third cousins to one another;, and so on. The child of one’s first cousin Is a first cousin once removed; the grandchild of one’s first cousin Is a first cousin twice removed, and so on. Confusion sometimes arises from the custom of some people who speak of the children and grandchildren of their first cousins as second and third cousins, respectively, but the practice Is only local. The correct and almost universal rule for reckoning cousins is as we have given it. —Pathfinder Magazine. Worth It 'Twas off the coast of dear old Ireland, and the steamship was a trifle out of its course. It had, in fact, taken the wrong turning. "Breakers ahead! We are lost," yelled the lookout from his point of vantage in the bows. "Begorrn!’’ cried the Irish cook, “we’re not lost if that will save us.” And seizing a belaying pin,, he hit the lookout man such a blow as to completely floor the man. "How dare you?" bellowed the captain angrily. "Why did you stiike that man?” ‘■We’.!," replied Pat, “he yelled, •Break us a head, or we are lost’ and, sure I did it, sir. And I’ll break a dozen more, sir. If that’ll save the ship.”—Weekly Scotsman. Cat’s Meow The cat who loves cod liver oil Is being put upon. He sure is more fond of cod liver oil than liver or raw hamburg steak, or salmon, or kidneys, or cat food —and the family know it. Recently he decided to go out for the evening. The youngster did not wish to have him go, but be slid out on the steps looking around for worlds to conquer. No calling for "Kitty, kitty." would budge him an Inch. Then the small youngster ran and got the cod liver oil bottle. She held it out to nlm as bait. He gave one sniff In the air and then came tc the bottle ns true as a needle to a magnet. The child walked Into the house with the bottle, the cat following—and she had him. —Springfield Union.
