Is not our character typed by our words
Can fountain send forth at the same
place sweet waters and bitter2 The ex-
amples we have given are not the worst,
but when we hear them or others, like a
muddy pool, does not the slime on the
surface show there is foulness at the
bottom7 Our most potent influences
are also exerted by our words. A great
writer said: words ftly spoken are
like apples of gold in pictures of silver
That is, choice proper words are gems
of gold in silver settings. The speech
may not be always according to gram
matical construction, but it may always
be pure. 1t may not be in high sound
ing words; but it may be honest,
simple Saxon. Human voices, like
instruments OF music, may vary in their
tones; but they may all give forth melo'
dy. Nothing CRATES more harshly on
the ear, or mars the pleasure o. CONVEX
sation, like low, common expressions.
The people OF this land-.t may be true
of the people Of other lands-are sadly
given to slang. A form of speech is in
vented by some one; it becomes cur
rent on the street; it creeps into orr
house; the children catch it, and from
the lips of those upon whom we had
looked as being as pure and stainless as
the new fallen snow. People lack origi-
nslity, that force of character that makes
them Independent; they are imitators,
and unfortunately initiate that which is
beneath them, and not that which is
above them.

tains strangers, assisted by male rela-
ton, who does the honors. Some tribes
of the Arabs permit the women to drink
coffee with strangers on their arrival,
provided the owner of the tent be pres
ent. Among those tribes who are con-
tinually exposed to the passage of stran-
gers, it must be confessed that hospital
ity can only be purchased by money,
and on the Hail route little mercy is
shown to pilgrims in distress. The in
hux of foreign manners has done good
deal toward impairing the ancient vir.
tues of the Arabs who live on the bord
ers Of Syria.

TattOOing.

Cook, in his second voyage, visited the
Isle of Amsterdam, where he found the
men tattooed from the hip to the middle
of the thigh; but the women had these
adornments on the arms and fingers,
and only in slight degree. Many wo-
men in other South Sea islands were
tattooed in the form of on every
joint of their fingers and toes, and fire.
quently on the outside of the feet Other
devices were squares, crescents, circles,
men, dogs, birds, ETC. Some of the old
men had the greater part Of their bodies
covered with large patches OF black,
deeply indented at the edges, like rude
imitation OF fame. In the Caroline
isles tattooing was regarded as reli-
gious ceremony, to be performed under
favorable auspices. The officiating priest
invoked blessing from the gods on the
family of the patient If a gentle breeze
arose it was accepted as the approving
voice of the gods, and the operation pro-
ceeded; if not, it was suspended; for
any tattooing under the anger of the
gods would have led to the submerging
of the islands by raging storm.
New Zealand is the country of which
we have most knowledge in regard to
the practice of tattooing, owing to the
number of travellers who have described
it. John Rutherford, seaman engaged
on south sea voyage, was captured on
the most northern of the islands in 1916,
and kept prisoner by the natives for sew
eral years. They treated him kindly,
on the whole, and conferred on him the
honor of tattooing, which ceremony he
described in the published record of his
adventures. Laid on his back amidst a
group of natives, he underwent the or
deal on his body, arms and face. Sew
eral tools were employed, some with
teeth and some without, varied in size and
shape to fit different parts. The opera
ton lasted four hours, during which the
chiefs daughter wiped the blood from
his face with bunch of dried fax. Then
they washed him at a neighboring
stream, dried him before FIRE, and gave
him his garments; except his shirt,
which one of the ladies put on her own
person, wearing it hindside before. So
severe had been the scarifying that he
lost his sigh: for three days, and did not
fully recover for six weeks.

Tree Habitations in the south Sea
islands.

Among the papers presented to the
British Parliament relating to the South
Sea islanders, is report that Captain
c. Il. Simpson, of her Britannia Majes-
tvs ship Blanche, giving an account OF
his visit in 1872 to the Solomon and
other groups OF islands in the Pacific
ocean. While at Isabel Island Captain
Simpson, with party OF officers, went a
short distance inland to visit one OF the
curious tree villages peculiar, he be-
lieves, to this island. He found the
village built on the summit of a rocky
mountain, rising almost perpendicularly
to hight of eight hundred feet. The
party ascended by a native path and
found the extreme summit a mass OF
enormous rocks standing up like cas-
tie among gigantic trees, in the branches
of which the houses of the natives are
built. The stems of those trees rise
perfectly straight and smooth, without a
branch to hight of about one hundred
and fifty feet. In the one Captain
Simpson ascended the house was just
eighty feet from the ground; one close
to it was about one hundred and twenty
feet. The only means Of approach to
these houses is by a ladder made of a
creeper suspended from a post within
the house, and which, of course, can be
hauled up at will.

Slang.
From the ROckland Messsnser.l

From the Rockland Messenger.
Mr.. Webster says slang is low, vulgar,
unmeaniug language. We can go no
where, not even into polite society, with
out hearing it. We expect no better
things from coarse, vile persons, but
when we hear it from the lips of pure
minded, virtuous people, it sounds
strangely. We are startled and ask our
selves il we heard Alright, if our ears de.
eeive US. And when we hear women,
ladies', use slang words and phrases, we
are deeply panied, and wonder what
foul spirit inspired them. There is
nothing more beautiful, nor adorRment
of person, nor grace Of manner, more
charming than ehaste words in speech.
If there is a beautiful face and elegant
attire, the whole is spoiled by the foul
ness of the lips. Like marble foun-
tain, its whiteness is stained BY the i'm
pure stream that flows from its mouth.
It is said Of q certain fairy, that
