and earnestly addicted to neaa-nunt-
ing. Hitherto the camphor of their
forests has been obtained only with
their consent, and It has been custo-
mary to pay money to their chiefs as
an inducement to refrain from destroy-
lng the distilling outfits. Neverthe-
less, trouble has been frequent, and
the stills have been constantly de-
Btroyed.
An unlimited number of laborers
can be hired in Japan for ten cents a
day: but not for any such price, nor
for many times that much can men be
obtained to go into the forests of
Formosa, cut down the camphor trees,
and dlstiil the gum, at the serious risk
of losing Ihelr heads. It is well known
that the Japanese do not lack brav-
ery; but head-hunting to the Formo-
san savage is a religion; nothing
from his point of view is so impor
tant, and he will lie in wait for many
days at a time near a lonely path in
the woods for the sake of getting one
chop at a passing camphor-seeker.
Formosa Is a big Island as large as
Sardina and Corsica put together. It
Is 235 miles long and 75 miles wide.

commercial necessity hus made neces
sary a change of plan. Camphor must
be had, and It has been decided to
wipe out or pacify all the savages
within the coming year. They can
take their choice which it shall be.
Their numbers are not accurately
mown, of course, but It is understood
ihat they are split up into no fewer
than 723 tribes, whose villages com-
prise from three to upward of three
hundred houses.
The tribes are divided into nine
groups, which are mutually hostile,
and v.iiieh differ one another In cus
toms and languages. Some of them,
particularly nt the south end of the
island, have already been partly civi
lized, and there is even established
among them a sort of rural free deliv
ery mail service, by rativc letter car
riers. In the central range of moun
tains dwell the tribes of the Vonuum
group, which are very fierce and en
terprising head-hunters. In 1S05 they
became so troublesome that a military
attack was mado upon them, result
ing in their partial pacification.

Spirits of dead persons other than
ancestors are dangerous and possibly
malevolent. The Atayal consider that
the ghosts of their forbears will not
be satisfied unless a human head Is
part of the offering made nt ceremo-
nlals. Likewise in the case of a dis-
pute between two persons the spirits
of his ancestors will guide and pro

MORALS IN AMERICA
Standard Higher Than in England,
American Tells British Royal
Commission.
R. Newton Crane, senior counsel to
the American embassy In Iindon,
told the royal commission on divorce
in England recently that there is a
higher standard of morality in Amer
ica than in England.
He admitted that divorce is mora
prevalent in this country than in any
other country In the world except
Japan, but contended this was duo
to the fact that persons of respecta
bility had come to regard divorce as
a firmly established Institution, de
signed to cure unhappiness.
J. A. Barrntt, of counsel to the
American embassy, pointed out that
there are more varied causes for di
vorce in European countries than in
the United States. In Austria "in
vincible aversion," in Hungary "vexa
tious mortification," in France "prodi
gality and violent disposition," in Swe
den "opposite of feeling and thought
amounting to hate" and In Formosa
"loquacity" are considered sufficient
grounds for divorce.
In Algeria, where there are thirteen
causes, "previous wooing in which no
final acceptance or refusal has been
made" was a cause of divorce. Bar
ratt argued there is not a single cause
of divorce ta any state in this coun-

WORRIES LITTLE BANTAM HEN
Brood of Quail Scamper Off at Slight

Mount Vernon, 111. A unique sight
is the behavior of a small bantam hen
In caring for a brood of Quail which
she hatched.
During wheat harvest the mother
quail left her nest because tho wheat
was cut from around It and refused to
go back and De Witt Combs, on whose

eggs to his house and put them under
the bantam hen, and in due time the
"chickens" arrived.
The adopted children have a tend
