sobbed tremulously through the dewy
trees, as if shadowy night wept tears OF

of gold shot up and were lost in the blue
overhead. Then the sun gathered about

The New Hebrides.

THE New Hebrides, where the British
have lately established coaling station,
with the ultimate intent, as the French
newspapers not unreasonably suspect, Of
anneXing the islands, are in the Pacific
Ocean, to the northeast of Caledonia,
and to the west Of the Fills, and are con-
sidered the most westerly part OF Poly
nesia. The islands comprise Espiritu
Santo, sixty-ive miles long by twenty
broad; Mallicollo, sixty by twenty-eight
miles; Ambrym. Annatom, Erromango,
Tanna, having an active volcano, and
Aurora, all much smaller. Most of the
group are well wooded and billy, some
sven mountainous. The most valuable
woods are sandal and ebony; the chief
vegetable products yams, sweet po'a-
Toes, cucumbers, bananas, cocoanuts,
and the sole animal of consequence a
small hog, which is no bigger at matu-
rity than rabbit. The area of the
group is estimated at $4,000 square
miles, and the population at 100000.
The inhabitants, fierce, but indolent and
filthy, are of the Papuan race. They,
like other Papuans, are generally well
formed, have regular features. intelli-
gent black eyes, small white teeth, curly
hair, thick lips, and large mouths.
Their noses are sharp, though fiat be-
meath, nostrils wide, and their skin dark
brown. They are often taller than
Europeans, but their legs are long and
thin, and they have the splay foot of
the negro. The men build the huts,
hollow trunks of trees into canoes, hunt
and fish; while the women till the fields,
make mats, cut wood, and do the heavi-
est work Their food is fish, fruit, birds,
and the flesh of the wild hogs. Their
weapons are mainly clubs and bows and
arrows. The hair of the men is gener-
ally frizzled out into a large mop; but
the hair of the women is always cut
short. The natives of the New Hebrides
have often been called cannibals; but it
is very questionable if they are such.
They differ in many respects from
the Papuans of New Guinea, and seem,
on the whole, to be rather inferior to
them. Nevertheless, they are declared
by all ethnologists to be of the same
race, and in no direct manner related to
the Malays, Polynesians, or Australians,
who, with the Papuans, compose the
four types of the human family occupy
ing what is known as the Oceanic region
If the English should annex the New
Hebrides, the aboriginals would very
soon disappear.

Commander Cheyne. r. n. we,

Commander Cheyne, R. N, well
known as the leading spirit in the pro-
jected balloon exploration of the polar
regions, expresses himself as convinced
that the failure of Sir John Franklin's
expedition was due to starvation,
brought about by the fraud of con-
tractor supplying the party with pre-
served meats which could not be eaten.
He cites several instances in which the
meats put up by this contractor have
been found to be simply preserved filth,
totally unfit for food, more than five tons
having been thrown overheard on one
occasion from vessel in the Arctic
seas.

-Noureddin Agha, chief of the i'm
perial eunuchs, who died recently at
Constantinople, is said to have exer-
cised for more than thirty years I'M
doubted sway over his imperial mas
ter's harems, and to have been dreaded
and respected only next to the Grand
Vizier. Having access at all times to
the Sultan's ears, his influence was
enormous. Together with the Grand
Nizier and members of the reigning
family, the Agha of the imperial
eunuchs enjoyed the title of Highness,
and took precedence over other func-
tionaries in the empire. Selim Agha,
chief eunuch of the ex-Khedive of Egypt,
was able, during his tenure of office
under that most lavish of sovereigns, to
amass large fortune by taking brides
from clients and grants from Ismail
Pasha. On his death, which took place
at Djeddah, on the Red Sea, while he
was on pilgrimage to Mecca and Me-
dina, his papers showed him to be the
possessor of cash and titles amounting
to more than S750,0OO, and land in
various parts of Cairo and the Feddan
to the amount of almost thirty thousand
acres.

Tie Transitional American Woman.


The expression in the faces of the
past and present woman indicates a
change. A certain noted physician, on
receiving new case. always calls for
earlier and later photographs of his pa
tent. that he may compare the changes
wrought in the course of years, which
NAV have contributed to the present
condition. such gallery of portraits
might help in diagnosis of our modern
woman. The pea e and equipoise, the
hauteur, matted with Inconsistencies of
self are al! gone. The face of to-day
is stamped with restlessness. wandering
purpose, and self-consciousness. The
religious aspect has vanished from con-
yersation A modern '.lunch" affords
opportunity for testing ordinary femi-
nine talk, which is never bad or vulgar,
on the whole not even frivolous, but is
marked by superiiciality in its discus
sion OF novels and subjects, though
showing great familiarity with all
known and to be known publications.
Each woman could talk far better than
she does, if she were not hampered
by self-consciousDess. An English
