ODD ISLAND TRIBE

Queer Inhabitants of the Lam of Siar. Whole Population Number Only 140 Yet Forme a Distinct Tribe With Manners and Customs Peculiar to Itself. Friedrich Wilhelm Hafen. Nf International exposition or large fait is supposed to be complete nowadays without Its native village, where two score or so of men, women and children, preferably cannibals, from some far distant land, mid supposed to live more or less fai their native state for the edification of the cutlous. A visit to Siar reminds one Irresistibly of such an exposition village; the difference being that the Inhabitants instead of displaying their charms to crowds of civilized visitors, are engaged in doing so to each other. 14 1b hard, on visiting the island, to realize that the natives are specially got up for one's particular benefit. The Island of Siar, which Is less than a mile round, lies in an archipelago on the coast of German New Guinea and close to the principal port in the colony, Friedrich Wilhelm Hafen.'' This town boasts of a white "population of about 25 and contains only ten or a dozen houses half hidden among the cocoanut trees. The whole population of the island of Siar is about 140, and these people really constitute a tribe, distinct from the inhabitants of the mainland or of the other Islands. The natives of the mainland, who are themselves sufficiently curious people to excite the wonder of anybody, are ready and anxious to point out the islanders to visitors and make money out off one by rowing one over in a boat on the monthly visit of a steamer. On approaching the island nothing is Been but the dense vegetation which covers It all over. However, on penetrating a few yards Inland two clearings are reached around which are grouped SO or so huts that form the village. The word hut is really too dignified a one to describe their rude dwellings; strictly speaking, they live, eat and sleep on a straw and wooden platform raised four or five feet from the ground, and which is covered over by a rudely-thatched grass roof. There are no sides to the dwelling, the front and back being generally quite open.

Hut on Island of Siar.

although the slanting roof extends so far down as to form eaves which come below the level of the platform. Access to the platform is furnished by some logs placed so as to form a sloping ladder and in addition to the main one the Papuans have a custom of providing a smaller one to be used by the dogs. What little work needs to be done on the Island seems to be done by the women; the men are apparently too deeply occupied In exhibiting themselves to the other members of the community. Their costumes may be said to'consist of a loin doth, Which is really the only article of actual dress they have; however, to make np for the lack of tailor-made garments, the rest of the body Is fairly covered with miscellaneous ornaments. Every man has around his forehead a large number of dog’s teeth made into a necklace; these teeth are looked upon as being quite necessary, and the desire qot to be without them is so strong that a few of them /*re usually sufficient to buy a wife. These teeth form a good setting for his elaborate headdress; the hair is carefully fuzzed up, dyed a rusty red, surmount ed by a flat circular shell, and deeorated with feathers and colored grasses, sticking outward and upward a distance of a foot dr more.

WHY WE DETEST PARASITES

Feeling of Instinctive Revulsion Is Justified, for They Are Carriers of Disease. The feeling of Instinctive revulsion against parasites of all kinds which characterizes humanity generally, and which is due to something much more than the mere pain or annoyance that their bßes might Inflict, become more interesting as further discoveries show the role of Insects in the spread of disease. Unfortunately this natural abhorrence has not been enough to protect man under conditions of poYerty and uncleanliness from harboring such parasites, and now those who understand how much more than a mere personal annoyance is in question from the existence of parasites must take up the problem to eradicate them. The possibility of the bedbug conveying relapsing fever, typhoid and leprosy has been suggested and apparently there 1b bo parasite of man that may not be a mode of disease conveyance. Flies, fleas, mosquitoes and bugs not only are all under suspicion, but most of them are also actually demonstrated as ordinary and frequent conveyors of diseases of various kinds. Health authorities must now take up the problem es getting rid of insect parasites In order to stamp out disease. From the Journal of the American Medical Association. l •

MILK INSPECTION IS NO FUN

Incident BhoWing How Hard It la to Sanitary Rules on Dirty People., The trials and tribulations of a milk inspector trying to force insanitary people' to live according to sanitary rules are shown in the issue of the Healthologlst. the official organ of the (Milwaukee health department The story follows: A Milwaukee milk Inspector during a farm inspection, came upon a place hopelessly filthy, disorderly and run down. A motherly person with a big heart, but firm and weird convictions, listened to the young man’s suggestions. Then looking over her spectacles pityingly, she said: “Boy, my was ninety-seven years old when she died. ’ She was dirtier than I am, and lived in a dirtier house and drank dirtier milk. If she could stand It I guess there ain’t no reason why I and the city folks that get milk from this farm can’t Btand 4t too.” And not being able to answer that argument, the milk inspector left her —kindly withal, but yet voicing her indignation over “them there new fangled idees of cleanliness.”

Definition of the Beau.

A beau is one who arranges his curled locks gracefully, who ever smells of balms and cinnamon, who hums the songs of the Nile and Cadiz, who throws his sleek arms into various attitudes, who Idles away the whole day among the chairs of the ladies, who Is ever whispering in some one’s ear, who reads little billetdoux from this quarter and that, and writes them In return; who avoids*ruffling hie dress by contact with his neighbor’s sleeve, ~ Wfrff knowß with whom everybody is In love; who flutters from feast to feast; who can recount exactly the pedigree of Hirpinus. What do you tell me, Is this a beau, Gotllus? Then a beau, Cotllus, is a very trifling thing.

Filling the House.

The theatrical man just In off the road was recounting to the New York manager his 'qualifications for a box office poet. “I don’t see that you are any better than a dozen other men 1 can take my pick from,” said the manager. “You say you can sell tickets. So can they. Nobody can sell tickets If people don’t come to buy.” '~ “No, they can’t,” said the man, “but I have the knack of seating people so an audience of 50 people will look like 400, and the house will never lpok empty." “There’s a good deal in that,” said the manager, and he gave the man the job.

How He Treated Her.

A certain osteopath was treating a young woman who had very weak ankles and wrists. As she lived In a town quite a distance from his own city, he was forced to leave the city Saturday of each week and go to the town In which the young woman lived, give her the treatment Sunday, and return to the office- Monday. A friend once Asked the osteopath bow he had arranged to give the young woman the treatment so» her ankles and wrists when she lived at such a distance, and the osteopath replied; “Oh, I go out and treat her week ends.” —Lippincott’s Magazine.

Parliamentary Law.

No one man Is responsible for parliamentary law, It wis born of deliberative exigencies. Its rules, precedents and usages are contained neither In statutes nor court decisions and are only binding when a deliberative body chooses to make them so. Most of the rules now accepted had their origin in the English parliament Changes kayo been made to meet the needs of our legislative bodies, even qs changes were made in the English parliament—parliamentary law growing from the simple procedure of the Anglo S&xcn town moot to the more complicated deliberative machinery at today.
