Aa a typical t.xample, he cites the case of tl1e women in the J..,ntlghlnn is­lands. a !i:Illnll group east of the south­ern end of Xew Gninen. The5:e women tau.oo the greater part of their bodi<>• w1th angled designs, but ne\'er fnil to ta t.t.oo concentric circles on their legs.

'l�oey believe that between t.be Lnughlnn islands anll the i•land of Vntmn, in the Trobrinnd group, to which l.heir souls should go, there Is a great. snake, o\·eT wldclt tl1cy must. pass. 1,he snnke nslcs ench soul for her tat� tooing1 und the soul t.akes it off and gives it to the snnke, who co\'ers it.self · with it. The snake then becomes broad and flat, nnd the soul passes oyer it as m·er a briLlge.

If, however, the soul i s not. tnt.t()oerl, t.he snake shrinks, and the soul full• into the sen nod cnnnot.rench the bles­sed sanctuary in Yatnm. Moreover, worse still, these wretcl1ed souls art' st.raightway changed into fish.

Those who crab for market Oil th• Choptank river, Maryland, have on In• genious method of catching crabs Ia quantities, says Country Life In Amer• ica. A rope about the thickness of a clothesline, several hundred feet long, Is kept coiled in a keg. The ciooer the cover the more pleasant the sail , with the fts·herman to the erabbinlf grounds, for at intervals of two fee' along the entire length of the rope he has untwisted it . . and inserted betweea the stands short pieces of salted eel• The torsion of the stands holds them t ightly in place. Each end of the rope hns a keg bttoy attached, together witb a benvy stone. Arriving at the fa• \'Ored pJnce, usually on oyster bed .. he throws n keg overboard and paya out his highly see!\ ted rope as he soilll. When the other end is reached be an• chors it with another stone, and throW1 out another buoy. After lowering h!a sail he w.o.its a few minutes, thea· takes his stnnd on the bow of his boat, AJongside of him is hfs landing net, with n loandle six f..,t long. He ralsea the buoy nnd stone, nnd hnnd oveP homd pulls his boat along the line. When n crab, clinging t o its refresh• ment, comes in sight he sei?.es his net, dashes it und er the crab, nnd flings it into the bout. The warJ crnb ma.y loosen his hold und dive for the · bot• tom, but such is the fi�herman's dex• terity lht his net is swifter thnn tha ern b. One seldom gets awny. Several hunclreds of crabs are often taken' at ench o\·erhn nling of the rope. When he has caught ulj he wants, he pael<s them in barrels nnrl •ells them to local deal• ers, who sloips them to market.

It looks 11 if a man't back is the center oi

otrength when he is otrainiug to lift or haul a heavy weight. nut the center of strength is not the back, but the stom· ach. There's no strength in the back of a giant if he's starving. All strength is made from food, and food can only be converted into stre11gth when it is perfectly digested nntl assimilated. When th.e stomach is diseased, lhe uutn· tio11 of food is lost and pltys· ical weakness foll ows.
