they call masi, but which is a poor sub
siitutc for the fresh bread fruit. Hence
i'll order to have some variety of food, and
q sullciency for the other half year, each
family cultiyatcs It's plots of land for taro
and yams, and pays some attention to the
banana and other fruits. 1t is true, how
eyer that the land thus cultivated bears
no proportion to the thousands of acres
lying waste.
, CULTIVATION OF LAND.
The taro is growing all the year round,
and, with care, they may always have
ripe crop. 1t likes moist situations. The
ground is well wed both before planting
and during the growth. 1t is easily pro-
pagaled, for, besides young shoots, the
tops OF. the taro cut off are again planted
while fresh and produce a new root.
Women assist in wedding the land, but
the planting and most of the work is per-
formed by the men.
The yam requires and receives greater
attention than the taro it is planted in
autumn, and is ripe in February and
March. The seeds are prepared Just as
the seed potatoe that is, when the old
yams are beginning to sprout again, they
are cut up into pieces, each piece serving
as seed. After being cut they are pla-
ced in a heap, under ground, till they be-
Gin to grow, and then taken and planted
out about a yard asunder The tops run
to an amazing extent, especially if there
are trees or fences up which they can
climb; they will be at the top of the high
est bread fruit in a few weeks. When
they change color and begin to die it is
known that the yam is ripe.
The arrow root requires scarcely any
attention, though by care, it might doubt
less be made more productive. The SUI
gar cane is not well managed by the Sa-
means. They plant out the young shoots
entire and let them grow in clusters. A
missionary showed them the West Indian
method of planting, and, when they saw
the specimen, they were convinced it was
superior to their own. There is a wild
species which they use for the thatch of
their houses, which lasts, with little re-
pairing, SIX or seven years.
, The root of the ii plant is also COM
pletely saccharine, and they bake an oven
of it occasionally, when other food is
scarce. They either eat the root in this
soitcncd state, or express the juice, which
is very good kind of treacle, and mix it
with the pulse of the young cocoa nut.
1t makes thus a very good, sweet dish.
The bananas only require to be kept
from the PIGS and occasionally weeded.
They bear the second season, and then
due, but there, Is a constant succession of
young plants to supply the place of those
which fall after bearing.
To be continued.

Samoa Is NOT subject TO the rule OF a
single King or cnlei put IN some eXten-
slye districts an individual has often con-
siderable power. lhe late Iamataga,
who united III MS person the attributes OF

of 30 lie Iupu Salaian, the KING OF

the same title has been conferred on Ma
Ietoa ; but, except IN the particular dis
trlct which conferred the title. 1t gives
HIM no more influence than before.
Jpolu Is divided INTO three large dis
trlcts, two OF which, Atua and A&na, con-
tanning ABOUT ten thOuSahd people each:
had formerly kings under the, tiiies OF lie
Tul Aana, and lie lui Atua, but they
and the greater part OF their lamlllcs were
cut of IN their wars with Manono. The
title OF "lul Atua, has also been con-
erred on the powerful chief Mahetoa
and at this tlmc( April, 1889 some OF his
trends are endeavorlnS to procure Tor HIM
the kIn9shlP OF Aana. But his obtaining
1t depends on Manono and part OF Savan
which constitute the Malo, or VICTORIOUS
party. Manono owns KIND OF SUPER

Inc power Is actually vested III the Malo

dued IN war, and, formerly, these eXac'
tons were very oppressive but as the
most OF the present Malo have become
Christians, their sway is acknowledged to
be very mid. 1t Is denominated the Ma
10 totoa, the quiet or gentle govern

When any business IS to be TRANSACTED
or question discussed, affecting the whole
or greater part OF the islands, iono, o
public assembly Is called OF the LEADING
chiefs from the various districts, IN which
acalm,and generally prolonged discussion
ensues. The final decision is not by vote

the rule of primogcniture is by no means
followed. The brother or uncle of the
deceased often succeeds in preference to
u son.
Their large fonos or pnrliamcnts arc
very formal affairs, and are often enlivcn-
ed by true eloquence. The writer attend
ed one, which lasted from eight O'clock
in the morning until four in the afternoon.
The only question was the forming of Il
friendly alliance between Manono and
some village on Upolu. They had form
erly been in alliance, but had taken diff
iercnt sides in the last war This debate
was several times interrupted by questions
on points of order and right of precc-
dencc in speaking. The decision was
unanimously i'll favor Of the alliance.
Their presence of mind and sclf-pos-
session when speaking are admirable. and
might put to shame the timid hcsitating,
stammerng, confused manner of many
well bred English gentlemen. Each
/ speaker has one or more promptcrs to re-
mind him of matters he is passing over,
and to correct his errors. Yet their fire.
Quent Interruptions do not at all >discom-
pose him. He will make use of their
suggestions and calmly proceed, On this
occasion a missionary entered the assem-
! bly,, when chief was in the midst of his
speech. He at once politely announced
the fact to the assembly, desired they
would be grateful that the messenger of,
Jehovah had come to their land, and to
attend to their Instructions and then
took up his speech again as cooly as pos
sible.
Each speaker has vast deal of COM
pliment and formal preface. 1t is the Gus
tom to call over the titles Gotten pompous
enough) of the principal chiefs present,
and to precede this by invoking the name
of God. Formerly they invoked the most
potent of their false deitics, and those of
the particular district they were assembled
in but the Christians now invoke Jcho-
yah and Jesus, and include the missiona-
ries in their compliments. The term used
i IN these invocatlOns appears to express a
WISH tiidI nc WHO Is invoked would De
propitious.
The penalties and punshments are va
rious. Among them are expulsion from
the village, the stripping of the offender
and his family of their property, hogging,
exposure of the naked body on the sand
under Il vertical sun, the eating of certain
herbs which produce swelling and dread
full pain in the mouth, and cutting off, the
nose or ears. But the worst part of their
system is that punishment is, in many ca
ses, left to the offended party or his iami-
ly, or village. There is no public trial,
and of course, in many cases, strict us
tice is disregarded. This is the case with
murder and marslaughter.
The family or party. of the murdered
man watch for an opportunity of taking
the life of the offender or some one con-
) nectcd with him. 1t is also remarkable
that there are certain places of refuge,
) which are held so sacred that, if an often
der escape thither, he is not to be touch

Their wars. before the introduction of
Christianity, were mourniuIly frequent ::
scarcely a month elapsed without one.
Happily, since 1880, the year when first
visited by the missionaries, up to the pre-
sent time, O839D they have lived in
peace.
Their weapons are the spear and the club,
both made of the iron wood, stones thrown
with the hand or by sling, occasionally
the bow and arrow, and, OF late years. the
muskct. Each village or district had its
commander: there was no general. but
operations were from time to time dccd-
ed upon in council. Each district had,
also, some place Of refuge, difficult of
access, to fee 10 in case of defeat, and in
which to lodge tie women, children and
