WAR’S EFFECT ONJJ!EMORIES Statistice' Show That More Articles . Are Lost in Paris Than Before the Conflict. The 4ar has had a bad effect on people’s memories, according to the officlals of the Paris lost property office. In the last. year, 40,000 umnbrellas have been left in public conveyances—double the prewar number. Nearly 25,000 pocketbooks have been returned, whereas the average number before the war was about 10,000. More than 20,000 wrist watches are turned in' annually, and about as many hand bags. The amount of lost .and found jewelry has increased enormously.. - -The officials believe that this increase in the business of the lost property othce is not at all due to the greater honésty of finders in turning in what they discover, but that it is caused by the excitement and suiferings of the war days and the strain of the years that have followed the conflict. The average mind and the average nerves of today are not what they were ten years ago. ' Some curious requests are received at the lost property office. Race-track followers write in and ask the possibility of getting a pair of fleld glasses found on a race-course, believing that possession of such a pair would bring them good luck. But the prize letter was that of an Englishman who, in a crisis of sea-sickness in the Mediterranean, knocked his portfollo out of his pocket, and wrote to ask if by any . chance his valuable papers had been discovered in the belly of some fish sold in the Paris markets.—Detroit News. : ;

SOUTH SEA ISLAND WEDDING Marriage " Arrangements of Laborers ‘Have to Bé First Sanctioned by - White Man ih Charge. “The marriage arrangements of the laborers here are a great source of joy to me. All marriages have to be sanctioned by the white man in charge, and it is here that the fun comes in. As the man is too shy or too proud to come and say he wants such’ and such a woman, generally one of the women (not the selected one) is deputed to come to me. I hear a sort of cough-giggle, and then out on the verandah I see a woman, dressed up in her best. I take no notice, or she would run away. After about ten minutes she will come sidling in. ‘Then I ask her what she wants, and she pitches me a longwinded yarn-full of giggles and smiles. I don’t catch more than one word in ten, but just listen for names. Then I tell her to send the boy to me. He, I know, is waiting at the gate, but he takes quite ten minutes to get into the house. Then the .blushing bride is pushed in by all the other women, and I perform the ceremony. This consists of writing cn a piece of paper: ‘I, Tanoiape, do take Poussiba for three years.”’ The couple affix their mark, and off ‘they go.”— “Isles of Nlusion.”

) ‘ Wear Husbands’ Skulls. There is to be found in the Adulman islands in the Bay of Bengal a race of pigmy people who believe that every child is born with evil spirits within him-or her. ~So the mother, every two or three months, lets the spirits escape through cuts which she inflicts on the body of the child. As a result all the men and women of the ‘island have their entire bodies covered with scars. The women of the islands wear the skulls of their dead husbands as loving souvenirs. When a man dies the little people blow on his face to say good-by, bury him, and then desert .the camp in which they are living. After several months they came back, dig up the bones and wash them in the sea. Finally they hold a dance in honor of the dead man’s skull, paint it with red ochre-and white clay, .and give it and the jawbones to the chief mourners, who wear them about their -necks on fiber strings, like huge stones on a necklace. .

Sense of Smell.

Experiments with men and women a 8 to their sense of smell showed that camplior was usually associated with old clothes and -cupboards, but with one subject it aroused a sense of fear And a sensation of .darkness and suf‘focation. It was found that this subJect had been shut up in a dark wardrobe as a child and ‘had completely forgotten the incident until it was recalled by the smell. Rose oil occasloned a sense of fear in one sugbject, and this was due to the fact. that he had met with a motor accident on a country road in July outside a house where roses were growing plentifully.

Time to Quit,

At a party a necklace a woman was wearing was much admired, She took it off to show it better and it was passed from hand to hand. Later, it was not forthcoming. i “The joke has gone far enough,” said the host. “I will put this silver dish upon the table, turn out the electric light, count one hundred, and expect to find the necklace on the dish when I turn up the light.” - “When he turned up the light the dish had also vanished! -

Presenting a Scapegoat. “John, wake up,” whispered his wife. “There’s a burglar In the house.” : “Well, what do you want me to do—get up and run the risk of belvg killed?’ - : : ~v“No, but if you find in the morning that somebody’s gone through your pockets. don’t blame me.” . The LaGrange Standard says: “Mrs Marion Loomis received a message Monday night telling hetr of the death of her cousin Mrs. B. W. Cowley of Ligonier. Mr. Cowley died in June of last year, ‘ ‘Jackson will paint your automobile and make it look like new. -b2atf

Straus born in Ligonier and a ‘son of the late William Straus whs for many yeais has resided in New York city where he is regarded ameng the leading finaneers is in trouble charged with smuggling. It seems that on’'a recent trip to Europe Mr, Straus acquired many jewels of greal value and brought @ them into th ) United States, uvgieéting to pay the duty. This is acording te a story published in the' Chicago Tribune. Perhaps the accused has a version of the affair which will meet the demands ot the cuStom -officers. . _' : L . None in 1928, .
