in the morning the parents of the bride
and bridegroom knocked ut the door,
and as no one answered, they conclud-
ed that the bridegroom was either
killed or wounded, and when the bride
came to the door without her husband
they were confirmed in their suspi-
cions. As soon as she saw them, she
began to call them traitors, and asked
them how they dared to ccme to the
door without speaking. Make no
noise or you are all dead men, This
astonished them still more, and when
they knew how the night had been
spent, they thought very highly of the
young man for his great skill in gov
erning his wife, and arranging his
household; and from that day forward
she was SO well managed that he lived
perfectly well with her; and the faith.

A Cruise among the CnnniDals.

A late number OF the Advertiser,
published at Honolulu, Sandwich Is.
lands, contains an account of cruise
made by the sailing packet, Morning
Star, among the Pacific Islands. It
touched at several ports of the Mar.
quesas; thence to the Island Of Fatu-
hiva, in one Of the valleys Of which a
desperate battle had taken place, a
short time before the vessel reached
there, between two hostile tribes. The
Advertiser says:
One of these contests lasted nine
days, at the close Of which the bodies
OF the captured and dead were eaten.
This cannbal custom prevails thro'.
ont this group. They do not have
great feast over these hnman bodies,
as is generally supposed to be the case;
but the bodies are cut to pieces on the
tle.tield, and each warrior takes his
piece-an arm, a joint, Q rib, accord
ing to his merit--raises it OIL his gun
over his shoulder, and marches home.
Here he calls his relations, and togeth-
er they devour the Aesh--some cook.
ing it in slices like pork; but most eat
it raw. The motive which induces
them to eat the bodies of their ene-
mics is revenge; they feel that their
revenge is not satisfied until they have
tasted OF their blood aud flesh. When
their hatred, anger and revenge are at
the highest point, and the enemy lies
dead before tLem, then it eliminates
in the fendish act OF eating human
flesh; and it may easily be imagined
that the quivering heart, that cringes
and CRATES between their bloody teeth,
is the sweetest morsel that a heathen
warrior can taste. This cannibalsm
is confined mostly to the older natives.
The younger people appear to be
ashamed OF the practice, and it is
probable that before many years it
will be extinct among the Marquesans.
Another valley, SO little that it Yo'd
seem as if no one could covet it, was
pointed out to US, inaccessible except
by sea, yet it had its story Of aggreS-
sion. 1t had thirty inhabitants, who
repplsed every attack Of their more
numerous invaders. Byland, perpen-
dicular cliffs rendered it nearly i'm.
pregnable. Determined to conquer,
the enemy let their warriors down the
bare face Of the rock, the ropes swing.
ing them in its descent, as if they
were only bird hunters on the Shet.
land Islands. Ten doomed men had
reached the bottom, when the inhabi-
tants of the valley arose and slaught-
cred every one of the invaders. This
was sufficient; since then their ene'
mics have let them alone. ..f

CHLORIDE OF LIME.--Persons so
much behind the intelligence of the
age as to have spout from their
kitchen out into the back yard, or
street, to carry the suds and dish water
into pool Of filth that is a disgrace
to its owner, and a nuisance to the
neighborhood, sometimes get snuff
of its powers, so strong as to disgust
their perverted organs Of smell, and
they go to the druggists, and buy a
pound or two Of chloride of lime as a
dlsinfectant. For this they pay ten
or twelve cents a pound. Now, every
farmer may make it a triAing cost,
and should always have it on hand.
Dissolve a bushel of salt in barrel OF
water, and, with this salt water, slake
a barrel of lime. Salt, being com
posed of chloride of sodium. and be-
ing mixed with lime, will give up its
chloride, which, uniting with the
lime, forms chloride of lime. 1t sho'd
be so wet as to form a kind Of paste
For al! practical purposes Of a dis
injector, this is equally good with that
purchased at the shops at ten or twelve
cents a pound. .'a4 o. '1-'a

HoSoRABLE OoNDITIoEs. Macy
years ago, in what is now a flourish.
ing city in this State, lived a stalwart
blacksmith, fond of his blooming
daughter, whose many graces and
charms had onsnared the affections of
a susceptible young printer. The
couple, after a seasop OF billing and
cooling, engaged" themselves, and
nothing but the consent of the young
lady's "parent" prevented their union.
To obtain this, an interview was ar
ranged, and Typo prepared little
speech to astonish and convince the
old gentleman, who sat enjoying his
favorite pipe, in perfect content
Typo dilated upon the fact Of their
long friendship, their mutual attach
ment, their hopes for the future, and
like topics, and, taking the daughter
by the hand, said: 81 now, sir, ask
your permission to transplant this
lovely flower from its parent bed"--
but his "pheelinks" overcame him, he
forgot the remainder of his rhetorical
flourish, bllsbed, stammerod, and
finally wound up with--''from its pa,
rent bed, into my O,n.' Tue father
keenly relished the discontinue Of the
suitor, and, after removing his pipe
and blowing a cloud, replied; "Wol,
young man, don't know as I've any

DIVING STONE MAsoNs.-The ma
tiyes Of the Pacific islands are noted
for their diving. The pearl-diverS OF
the California Gulf perform astonish-
ing feats. The Sandwich Islanders
are not behind them in their capacity
of endurance. A Honolulu paper has
this ofthem: .
The natives of these islands are
good divers, though perhaps they can
not dive as deep and come up as dry"
as the celebrated pearl-divers Of the
Caroline and Chain Island groups
The stone retaining wall Of the new
ESplanade is all laid by native divers,
who are hired at the rate Of So, so per
diem. They work very steadily, each
man taking his turn of about two
hours, and averaging a trip to the
bottom once in ten minutes. The
water is about fifteen feet deep, and
they manage to lay about ten feet of
wall per diem. But for the Hawaii
ans on board the Italy, last season,
the greater portion of the bone Of the
wrecked ship Natches would not have
been recovered, as it could only be
got at by diving.

Thomas JeHersOR's Advice 10 his
. Daughter. .rr

The following advice in reference
to a young lady's dress, Mr.. Jefferson
addressed to his daughter Martha,
when at school at Philadelphia {:
"ANNAPoLIs, Dec. %, 1881
omitted in that letter to advise you
on the subject of dress, which | know
you are a little apt to neglect. do
not wish you to be gaily clothed at
this time of life, but that what you
wear should be fine Of its kind. But
above all things, and at all times, let
your clothes be clean, whole, and prop
erly put on. Do not fancy you must
wear them till the dirt is visibleto the
eye. You will be the last who will be
sensible of this. Some ladies think
they may, under the privileges Of the
dishabille, be loose and negligent Of
their dress in the morning. But be
you, from the moment You rise till you
go to bed, as cleanly and properly
dressed as at the hour fdinner or tea.
A lady who has been seen as a sloyen
or slut in the morning, will never ef-
face the impression she has made, with
all the dress and pageantry she can
afterwards involve herself in. Moth
ing is so disgusting to our sex as o
want of cleanliness and delicacy in
yours. Ihope, therefore, the moment
you rise from bed, the first work will
be to dress yourself in such style as
that you may be seen Oy any gentle
man without his being able to discover
pin amiss, or any other circumstance
OF neatness wanting.7
The accomplishments which Jefer.
son priced in a young lady, as indica,
ted in the following letter to his daugh,
ter Maria, are not at all such as are
most cultivated in our day:
"NEw YORK, April 18th, 1900

do you dol How are you occupied
Write me a letter by the first post
and answer me all these questions
Tell me whether you sec the sun rise

to make pudding yet, to cut ont

always found you; never be angry
with anybody, nor speak harm o
