Nor will she sleep by day ,.i: ,.,i co bed soteler than two o'clock i the morning, lest he be surprised ie his sleet, bs an enemy. Elsewhere in Borneo, says a writer :n the Outline, the husband's mat is spread for him as if be were at home. he fires are kept burning long into the night and lit again before sun- rise, so that he may suffer no cold. Pillows and sleeping mats that oe- long tothe men are kept rolled up in Malay, when they go on a cam- paign. For if anyone slept on them al theirabsence, the owners' bravely .could be impaired. Most complicated are the rules, igain based on, telepathy, observed .Hinoug the Sea Dyales of Banting, in earatrak. The women must wake ,very early in the morning and. open .lie windows as soon as it is light; ,therwise their absent husbands will oversleep. The women may nut oil' .heir hair, or the man will slip, They must cook and scatter popceru on tee veranda every morning, so that the ,len will be agile. ' The rooms, too, must be well till - 'ad, with no boxes left about, for lilt znyone stumbled over them the sil- ent husbands would fall before the :oe. Neither do the women sit at the sone till their legs grows cramped, est the husband be similarly afflicted r -hen' in battle. Should a wife p'ro.e .infaithful, her husband would sure - y meet his death. A wife of a. Shan of Burma has ules more picturesque. Every fifth. lett sheceases from working and 'sts. Also she puts water in an arthen cup, filling it to the brim, ud sets flowers in the water every ay. Were the water to sink or the ioveers to droop, that would mean her an omen of death. In addi- it.n, the wife takes care never to e •p in her, husband's bed while lie away. Probably, of such observances, hose recorded in an ancient history, f Madagatear are the most exacting: "While tit• men are at the ware," I; says, "and until their return, the ;omen andcease not day and .fight to dance,and. neither lie down_ ler take food in their own houses.

HURON OLD BOYS' ASSOCIATION The Huron OlBoys of Toronto, held their' first series of entertain- ments for the season in Hygeia Hall, on Friday evening last, and the at- tendance exceeded the anticipations of the most optimistic, and the event. was a most successful one from every point of. view. Some 45 tables were occupied by the euchre andbridge players and, very valuable prizes were awarded to the successful competitors. The social part of the programme was functioned' by the older members of the association, and every body enjoyed themselves. At the conclus- ion of the card games, refreshments were served under the able supervis- ion of Mrs. D. Thompson, convenor of the committee, and needless 'to say the arrangements were perfect. After the refreshments, the tables were cleared away, and a number of the old time dances were put on, and enjoyed by everybody, young and old. Music was supplied . by 'the Hughes - Agar Orchestra, and it gut ginger and :snap in the whole crowd.

Fred McBrien, M.P.P. and Sam Wright, M.P.P. the two Park - dale stalwarts, represented the On- tario Legislature, and they did it well. Miss Lily Paterson lined 'up the Wingham contingent, and they came in multitudes. Geo. E. Ferguson, Walton Old Boy, and now of the Swift's Limited, was the official caller off and whenever he called "swing your partner" his voice could be heard all over the hail. This was his first attempt since he left the good old county, but he did it to the King's taste. FOR SALE -50 yearling leghorn liens. Apply Joe E. Dunbar, Bel - grave, Phone 5r625.

Molo Tribe Are Most Amazing , People. .1 ,, The most amazieg race of human beings is undoubtedly the El Molo, a tribe of "fishmen,” who inhabit the desert Wastes bordering Lake Rudolf, :a Kenya Colony, Africa. This tribe represents the only known specimens z.f semi -amphibious people, and it is curious fact that any tribesman ;les if he is kept without water for hree hours. As a rule they drink _givery hour during the day, for even an hour and a half without water causes cracking and bleeding of the ifpz,. The El Moro tribesmen spend their days swimming in the waters of Lake Rudolf, and fishing from frail rafts constructed with palm brauchesa„Fish is almost their only diet, and they have no opportunity of varying their menu unless they are fortunate enough to spear a hippopotamus. The water of Lake Rudolf is un- drinkable to anyone but the El Moro, for it contains a large quantity of soda and has an objectionable taste. The proportion of soda in that lake increases yearly, and it is believed to be this fact that has caused the "fish - men” to become a deformed race. Ackert.

Confronted by a critical housing shortage in its capital and other cities, the Soviet Government has found It necessary to encourage pri- vate enterprise in the bt.ilding in- dustre. Under new regulations adopted by the Council of People's Commissars private ownership for terms as long as eighty years is guaranteed to per- sons who build their own houses. Greater facilities are provided also for private business men dealing in building materials. In some 'instances 'they are given priority over Govern- ment shipments on the railroads.. Houses erected through private ini- tiative 'will be accepted by banks as collateral for loans and credits. It will be possible to sell and rent them. The law specifically gives foreigners and concessionaires the same rights as others in this connection.

'What was the oris n of the re- markable culture of the Maya and the Incas, who were the most advanc- ed of all prehistoric Americans, no one knows with certainty. That it originated on, the Asiatic side of the Pacific is possible.' The architecture. of the Mayas is so suggestive of the ruined architecture of Java that one is impressed with the feeling that the two cultures may have had the sante.. origin. In that case the Mayas would have been among the latest custom- ers from Asia, later than the'antes- tors of the American Indians and those of the dark-skinned Aztecs of Mexico.

TRUSTEES OBJECT TO NEW CLASSES St. Thomas, Oct. 25. -An unusual case and one which promises to at- tract considerable attention in the dis- trict is reported from a school section in the Eagle district, where school trustees are said to have objected to their teacher, giving instrution to foreigners who recently arrived in the district to assist with the tobacco growing According to reports, the young lady had nicely organized night clas- ses in the schoolroom for the Hun- garian, French and Holland families of the district and the elderly folks were making marked progress over a three-week period in the study of the English language. About this time, it is further report- ed, the .trustees held a special meet- ing and forthwith dispatched a' mes- the oun lady teacher, stat - One-Third,of.a - 1t the average daily eonsasirOpt *z ib`t *ilk in England and Weiler :ib lest V11,0 aa -t 3ird'of11,p C 4 ' 4011100116 - sage to y g ing the school must not be used for the instruction of the foreigners. Some. action in regard to the case is expect- ed soon, as the tobacco growers of the district are said to resent inter- , ference by the school trustees. This press dispatch, if correct, shows a sad want of appreciation for neat need.

So if the young teacher is willing to give of her time night - classes three evenings a week, she is deserving of commendation and sup- port, and unquestionably the young foreigners will be better engaged in this work, than left to their loneliness and unconcern of those whose duty it is to assist them in 'becoming useful'. citizens. .

President King distributed the var- ions prizes to the successful coin- petitors. Major and Mrs. Beck were unavoid- ably absent and they :vere very much missed.

'Bert '1ifc0 ea Stowe superiiise'd the':card games,'and The Lord Nelson at Halifax ,flitizens of Halifax take very justifiable pride in the fact that in bringing to "fruition their dream of a new modern hotel, 'they have created a beautiful hostelry which, while still too new to have many valued associations, has an atmosphere redolent. of 'those days of grace in which their city had its be- ginnings. The Lord Nelson, but recently opened,, has a charm not usually associated with a modern institution of its kind and a decided nautical touch.. 'The grill, for instance, Is named the "Ward Room, .and as one sees the sailor suited waitresses moving about the tables one half expects 'to hear the "Ship Ahoy," or "Light on the starb'd bow, sir." Lanterns help to foster the ship -board illusion, and, one of these 1artthoras, pietured above, has very close asso- .ciations with the sea. When 'Lord Nelson lay dying in the •cockpit of H.M.S. Victory, While the great old ship heaved in the rollers . off Cape Trafalgar.. on October 21, '18115, this lamp illuminated the scene as the doctors strove to save a life the loss of which was one of England's greatest.

The Lord Nelson is, however, a little more than.. an art centre. It is a very modern hotel of 200 rooms facing the Halifax public Gardens. Its public' and cotiventioii rooms are ettceptionally well planned and appointed. The design is 'Georgian, simple andJ beautiful. While it has been 'built as the result of a.. community effort, the Lord Nelson is operated by -the hotel department of the Canadian Pacific Railwa _.,.
