Oceanic Islanders who DO Not Know
the Taste OF Fresh Water.

The Journal de Ia SOciete de Mede-
Gene de Cden et de CdlUddOS publishes
the following account of salt water
drinkers, taken from an account of a
voyage to the Oceanic Islands by NJ,
Jouan, ships captain, and sent by
him to medical man at Caen. These
remarkable people are met with on the
madreporic atolls of the Pacific, such as
the Paumoton Islands, where there are
neither brooks nor springs, and where
the wells which have been dug yield
only brackish water. The vegetation is
limited to a few cocoanut trees, OF
which the milk, with sea water, con,
stitutes the only drink of the natives
1t is question how men can live when
constantly using liquid of which all
bathers who haye perforce swallowed a
few drops, know the disagreeable quail.
ties. Is it an effect of habit, or natu-
raj disposition, or characteristic of race
1t is inexplicable; the fact, however, is
affirmed by the majority of navigators
who have visited those distant shores
Cook and Laperouse both mentioned
it, and more recently, Dupetit-Thouras
has described the inhabitants of Easter
Island as true amphibia, drinking sea.
water without feeling any inconven-
ience from it. NJ. Jouan concludes his
observations on the drinking of sea-wa'
ter by fact which he asserts to have
seen at the beginning OF his sea-faring
career, in 1888, while going to Mexico
At that that time, he writes, steam nav.
igation had not yet freed ships from
the influences of calms and head winds.
There was no distilling apparatus, sc
that in long voyages it was necessary tc
be careful with the water; and in his
ship, with the number on board nearly
doubled by some troops they had tC
convey, and the prospect of not finding
any water on the way, since they were
only going to blockade the coast with
out communicating with the shore, they
were specially parsimonious in its use
Some sailors, consequently, began tC
drink sea-water, but were soon obliged
to leave it off. One man only preserved
until the ship arrived at Mexico, when
it was revictulated with fresh water
brought at great expense from Havana
This man never complained of the sea
water; the only difference remarked in
HIM was that he become more and more
yellow.

Fruits of Intelligent Labor.

"Kansas leads every State in the I'm
ion in the yield of corn per acre, being
43 bushels. Little New Hampshire,
strange to say, comes next, with yield
of 40"
Not so very strange in the case of
"lttle" New Hampshire. Its active,
industrious, intelligent and provident
inhabitants, by the persistent exercise
of those flculties, have made the steep
mountain slopes and rock-bound val
lies of their State veritable Eden in
point of fertility. Scientific farming,
so likely to be sneered at by the igno-
rant and shiftless, is here carried to
perfection; the huplblest farmer "takes
the papers," keers himself posted in
the progress Of agricultural science, and
the appliances of improved husbandry,
and takes advantage of the same to the
fecundity of his fields, and the prosper.
ity of his belongings. The example Of
"little" New Hampshire is worthy ol
imitation, as it illustrates the legitimate
results of industry, thrift, and well-di
rected Intelligence.

ABrutaI Murder Near st. Jo.

On Saturday morning last a homicide
occurred near Sparta, near St. 10, Mo-. the
particulars of which are as follows: VIM.
Davis and man named Smith, brothers.
n-aw, live on Utz's farm, but Smith was to
give up the house to Davis the first Of Jan
uary, who remarked a. Hawkins on Friday
that when he got possession he would not
that Smith always had lot of worthless
people about him. Davis wife. who was
Smiths sister, reported to her brother the
remarks Of her husband, and when they
met the two men had some words over the
matter. Davis denying the whole thing.
Saturday morning about s o'clock Davis
went to Hawkins place and demanded Of
him retraction, which he refused TO make.
Smith came in about that time and Davis
again insisted on Hawkins telling him that
he Davis did not make use of the words
alleged. Hawkins told him that he knew
that he said it and he could not nor would he
retract it. At this Davis attacked Hawkins
and knocked him down and then drew Il
pistol and was about to shoot him when
Smith interfered and prevented the deed.
About this time Hawkins wife came in, and
not knowing whatthe difficulty was between
her husband and Davis, begged Hawkins
not TO have anything to do with the tier.
Hawkins seeing that Davis was still ter
mined to shoot him, reached up over the
door to where his gun was hanging in the
rack, and taking it down, shot Davis through
the abdomen. The gun was loaded with
small ghot, but 1t took effect on the wound
ed man, and he died at about $3.50 that after

The Culture and Manufacture OF Hemp.
Flax, Etc.

The culture and manufacture OF
hemp, flax, etc, furnished the subject
for an address before the Franklin In
stitution, by Mr.. Hector Orr, in which
he suggested that hemp, flax, iute, and
other fbres could and should be raised
and manufactured in much larger guam
titles. In the Southern States, good
many experiments have been and are
now being made, which show that there
is really no difficulty in cultivatng
plants which yield useful fibres, such as
jute, which is largely used in making
the body for oilcloths. In Philadelphia
and vicinity there are great manufac-
tories of oilcloths which now import
burlaps-the iute cloth which is made
into oilcloths by painting-from Scot
land, the mills there getting the raw
material from India. When one con-
siders the great distance which jute is
transported before it finally appears in
the body of Philadelphia-made oilcloth,
there seems to be good reason for the
belief that there is opportunity for both
the culture and manufacture Of. iute in
our own country. The product does
not have to seek foreign market; tits
wanted here to be used in other indus
tries. 49,. ~:.s
