How to Write for the Papers.

The Boston Post hits the nail on the
head when it SAYS: Communications should
be brief, and there are several reasons for
this. In the first place, newspaper space Is
valuable. The modern newspaper Is never
troubled with the old-time complaint of
needing something to fill up" The edi-
tors scapel Is constantly reeking from the
slaughter of live news matter and interest
ing miscellany. Short communications are
much more likely to find readers than long
ones are, and unless they are to be read il
is much better not TO publish them. More
contributions can be represented where the
articles are short than when they are long.
and one man has as strong a claim dpon the
columns as another, provided he furnishes
as interesting matter. A short article is
usually more pithy and pointed than long
one. A subject should have many ramifi-
cations to demand more than half a column
in newspaper, while all that can be saved
even from that limit up to certain point
is apt to be an improvement. That prince
of journalists, the late Samuel Bowles, once
apologized for long editorial, and gave as
his excuse lack of time 10 write a short
one He expressed an important truth in
his usual epigrammatic way.

superstitions About Thunder.

Almost all the tribes in the United States
believed thunder to be produced by the
wings Of great bird, and the lightning
were the serpents that were invariably CON
nected with the thunder bird. Among the
ancient tribes Of the Mississippi Valley the
thunder, therefore soon became a thunder
god, who could be propitiated with sacri-
fees. The Illinois indians offered up a small
dog when a child happened to be sick upon
a day when there was much thunder, sup
posing the latter to be the cause ofthe mala-
DIV Many accidents, like conhagrations
were attributed 10 the angry god, and some
tribes did bloody penances Of Precipitation,
often burning to death their own children
Statements that the Indians adored thun-
der, however, seems to be erroneous. 1t was
the cause Of the thunder that they worship
ped. and before which they burned tobacco
and buffalo meat, and cut off the joints Of
their fingers or threw their children into the
flames when they were overcome by fear.
The Peruyians had as an idol a stone that had
been split by lightning. They offered it gold
and silver. The natives of Honduras burned
cotton seed when it Numbered. Other
southern tribes made no sacrifice on the APP
proach of a storm, but abased themselves in
the most abiect fear. .-

The American Girl.

The defects of the American girl, says the
Atlantic Monthly, may be done away with
by giving less prominence to the purely in
tellectual or purely practical side of her
education. For while one class of men is
striving to solve the problems Of life by
educating women Intellectually, there is
another class which is shouting for educa-
ton in domestic matters. While the pros
fessors at Harvard are rejoicing over some
girl who can take in their PHILOSOPHERS or
their mathematics, the newspaper editor
sings the praises of her who can roast tur>
key, bake bread, or make her own dress
es. Neither give the poor girl any chance
to exist, but only to work, with either hand
or brain. No one says to her: you are
not only yourself, but possibly the future
mother of other beings. Do not therefore,
allow yourself to be driven by either school
of apostles beyond what you may do easily,
comfortably or pleasurably. The healthy
balance of your nervous system is far more
important to you and your future family
relations than all the mathematics or dress
making, or even roasting of turkeys. Oc-
cupy yourself steadfastly, but without
strain, without hurry and without emula-
ton. As the apostle said (and it must have
been meant expressly for Americans) avoid
emulation Find out first what you can do
best, and even if it does not come up to
somebody else's standard, learn to content
yourself with that"

A W edding IN Samoa.
AN OLD CHIEFS MARRIAGE To A YOUNG
MAID eF APIA.

| Correspondence san Francisco Chronicle
APIA, >ANoA-We have had a So
eial sensation recently IN the way OF q
great Samoan wedding For months past i
leading chief OF Falefa, III the Atua district
has been counting the village maid Of A pia
Noe daughter Of Seumauutafa. High Chief
of \ pia. and the new Governor of the Tu-
amasaua District. And SIS the chief IS an
old man and Moe Is about nineteen, i has
required the most strenuous efforts OF both
families 20 bring about The match. the
Falefa family have brought to Apia over
500 pigs, killed and cooked, and distributed
them among the Young lady's relations. In
return fer these, the family Of the expected
bride must give me mats, sl4paS, etc, and
they have been buSIly engaged collecting
them from all over the islands till the Gov
ernor's house Is half full. These mats are
the most valuable property Of the Samoans
and are given At weddings Is more sGbstan-
gial presents are ut home. They are the
heirlooms of families tor generations. and
are justly priced, Is it requires years to
make one Of them. Some OF them are val
ued As high as ST. GOO apiece. Many of them
are triuaad with red feathers and are almost
soft a. silk.
A vast deal of ceremony Is connected
with these weddings. Yesterday all the
maideus from Faleia went IN a procession 10
stick with a bunch of red feathers suspend
ed from the end. These feathers are very
rare nowadays, and are much priced for mat
trimmings etc. All the town iaies (uatIye
housesl are filled with visitors. At the wed
ding some member Of the Government reads
a chapter from the Bible, and then reads
ceremony. The couple being married are
seated all the time aud join hands toward
the close of the ceremony, Is in more civil
lied countries In this instance the young
lady is we'll and widely known aud is a
favorite with the officers of the war ships of
all nations. She Is amiabIe and interesting
But as a rule, samoan girls have very little
to do with the choice of a husband. That
is generally arranged by the heads Of the
families and from interested motives.
When the Governor was asked why he did
not marry Moe to a young chief, he replied
that if she did not like her old husband she
could run away from him, and 1t would be
no disgrace, while a young husband might
take a fancy for another wife, and 1t would
be a shame to the family TO have him leave
her. 4 young chief generally has wives or
c0ncubiueS all over the islands Through
them he becomes allied TO numerous Lead
ing families, and acquires extended luHu
ence. and when he fails out with one family
he goes to another and finds wife awaiting
MIN. Native dances are taking place /
nightly and are part of the wedding ies- /
tvities All the young dandies appear on /
the stage at such L time, and display their /
fine. manly figures Also the headings mai |
dens of various villages assemble on the |
scene. Their costume Is the primitive garb /

have been seen in Sparta.
