'When the natives are -young they

are quick to learn and can be taught almost/ any kind of work, -and even up to the time of the'lr.marrlage they are willing to learn. After mar- riage their ambition and -intellectual development appear to cease; one of the reasons for this seems to be that the woman docs most of the work, while the man-being the superion animal-can see no necessity for fur- ther exertion,’ says the Hon -I. ll.

'Neither is a woman very perman-

ently tied to he_r husband, for she can leiive him‘on her own accord; but if she 'marries again har second husband has to pay something to her nrst husband and his friends. A pig, n wallaby, some yams or bananas gen- erally settle the claim. ‘At one time no doubt all the nati- ves practised cannibalism, but now all the central and eastern tribes have given it up. ln the western part it is still practised, and it is not safe to visit some of the native villages there unless properly guarded and well armed. Life is not valued very highly by the natives usa rule; al- though they possess a certain kind of rough love and affection for each oth- er it is rather of a' transient charact- er.

In speaking of Hattie since she went, to Cape Breton, Mrs Langley says: “l have recently beard from Hattie and she appears to be very happy and without a trouble in the world except for a rather severe-cold, which she is now recovering from. The report that sho was going blind is very untrue.

"She has spoken with much sadness ,

and regret of the death of Judge` Bond, who presided at her trial and of whom she became very fond. She writes that when she comes here she will, if possible, show ller respect and appreciation by at least \'i'~iiting his grave and placing there .l. llorall tribute. She has always been very'

An added attraction for Hattie and'

her other sisters, as well as the grandfather and grandmother, will be the new little Miss Langley. Irene's baby, whom the stork brought about three weeks ago and whose name is Caroline. Of 'this baby Hattie already has written several times and she ia as eager as a child to see it.

The arrival of Miss LeBlanc in

Lynn will, it is said, prove some- what ofa sensation in the shoe fac- tory, where it is seldom that a girl works in the factories who has been the centre of such tremendous inter- est throughollt New England as has Hattie Le Blanc. However. it is de- clared that ber sisters and brothers hero are waiting to receive this small girl with open arms and that every- thing will be done by other friends who interested themselves in her trial to find her a secured position and make life as haPPY as Possible for ber in Lynn.

LONDON, Feb 20-In the house of

commons today, J. F. Remnant, M. P. asked Premier Aaquith if he would give the ambassador at Washington instructions to enquire whether Champ Clark stated that the British government would willingly and joyluily assent to. Canada be- coming part of the republic.

Premier Asquith replied: "I do not

consider it necessary to give fictiti- ous importance to the alleged state- ment by sending an olllclal report to the United States Congress."

E-lir Gilbert. Parker: "Does the prem-

ier cousider the statement made by the leader ofa great party a ll¢i¢lY-i- ous statwnent ?" --...

Mr Remnant: "The premier said it

was an alleged statemcnt._ _ V Premier Aaquith: “I am quit: ready to believe it, but have no oliilcial knowledge of it.

The Speaker: “I think we have had

enough of this." (Ministerial cheers.)

WOULD PRAY FOR,-AVIATORB.

IDNDON, Feb 20-These is A ser-

ious, movement on foot, to add the words "by air" to the._prayer in the Church of England Litany: "That it may please Thee to preserve all that travel by land or water."

The suggestion originated with the

Rev Charles de Havilland, a Hamp- ,ehire rector and father of Air 'le liar- iiland, an aviator, and now the mat- ter has been taken up by A.ch<leacon Sinclair.

"I thinlr,"f said xrrchieaeiili,

“that in view, of the great, ail'anci-i, in aviation and the risls i-.ln by those engaged therein. it -v-will nr.- doubtedly be an excellent Shin.; if opportunity were afforded in the lit- any to offer prayers for the snfltl fll flying men."
