men, medium in height, muscular,
broad-chested, and with an erect car
riage. The face is sometimes daubed
with black, and as set-of to this
blackness the nose is made brilliant by
choice application OF Eed ochre. For
variety's sake the face is at other times
painted blue, and the nose black. Tat
tooing is sometimes to be seen, but this
is not nearly so much INDUCED in as by
the Maories of New Zealand. The arm
is not unfrequently adorned with cir
cular ornament, cut from one of the
numerous sea shells which can be gath
cred from the reef, cowriCs being mostly
used. The only garment worn is the
sulu, bright-colored girdle, sometimes
of calico, tappa or reed. as fancy
prompts. The color of the body is light
chocolate, and it is kept smooth and
glossy by frequent application of Cocoa
nut oil. The hair stands out some four
or i've inches from the scalp; it is close
and of dark brown color near the
base, but of light semi-golden hue at
the extremities. This is owing to the
hair being, for sanitary reasons, treated
with an occasional pomatum of lime.
Natives may not unfrequently be seen
with hair quite white during the two or
three days that this cline wash is
being applied. The wealth of foliage
and flowers on the islands is enhancing
The natives, not unnaturally, love their
flowers, and deck their bodies with
wreaths of them or effectively place a

A Very Much Mixed Family.

A class of marriages that may Ger.
tainly be regarded as among the eccen-
trcities of wedlock are those unions
bringing parties into complex family
relations. Mr.. Howe tells us of q mar
riage in Cornwall, in 1928, by which
the father became brother-in law to his
son; the mother, mother-in-law to her
mother; the mother-in law of the son, his
sister-in-law; the sister of the mother
in-law, her daughter-in-law; the sister of
the daughter in-law, her mother-in-law:
the son of the father, brother-in-law to his
mother-in-law, and uncle to his brothers
and sisters; the wife of the son, sister,
in-law to her father-in-law, and aunt
in-law to her husband; and the Off
spring of the son and his wife would be
grandchildren to their uncle and aunt
and cousins of their father. Says JEFF
ferson: "When Lord Dundreary has
mastered all the difficulties of this per-
picking piece of family history, he may
throw daylight into the darkness result
ing from the intermarriage of the
Hawoods and Cashicks of Kent" This
family complication was caused thus:
One member of the HAYWOOD family had
two daughters, one of whom was mar
ried to John Cashick, the father, and
the other to John Cashick, the son.
The elder Cashick had a daughter by
his first wife whom Mr.. HAYWOOD sub
sequentlY married, and this lady could
now claim her father as her son, her
sister as her daughter, and her brother
as her grand child. This occurred in
the seventeenth century, and, with the
help of several intermarriages since to
further complicate matters, there is not
one of the descendants of these families
to-day who can clearly define his own
position with regard to his relatives Of
the present generation, much less those
of one or two generations preceding
him. London Cor. Ucceland HcraH..

The Cat and the Cream.

Sir Moses was called model kitten
He was nice in his habits, and grave
and quiet in his behavior. To be sure.
he would chase wildly after a ball of
yarn when Flora dragged it. And he
would scamper fast enough down the
garden walk behind his little mistress,
mewing with glee as he ran. But most
of the time he was very still. He was
asleep in Flora's lap, or lay upon the
rug watching her with half-shut eyes.
An old proverb says: ''Still waters run
deep" Perhaps the man who wrote it
knew a cat like Sir Moses.
81 would like to know what becomes
of my cream!" This was what Mamma
Painter said at the breakfast-table. The
children all opened their eyes at her in
surprise. "What do you mean, NAM
ma"h asked Bessie
''Why," replied her mother, 81 bring
in the cream in this little pitcher every
morning, when l first come down, and
put it on the table. Now for three morn
ings it has been half gone by breakfast
time. Who can have taken itP''
Nobody knew. The pitcher was an
odd little thing, with small neck One
fact was very strange. There was no
mark of cream on the edges of the
pitcher.
There was a great deal of wonder and
talk about this curious loss of the
cream, 1t happened again the next
morning, and the morning after that.
On the third day Bessie was heard
shouting: ''Ah, you rogue, 1 have
caught you at last" And so she had.
1t was that meek Sir Moses. When the
pitcher was put upon the table he wait
ed till he was left alone. Then he leaped
upon the table and put his paw in the
pitcher. You may be sure it did not
take him long to lick the cream from
his paw. Then he dipped again and
again, till he heard somebody coming.
When the person entered he seemed to
be sound asleep.
1t was planned so that the sly rogue
could steal no more cream. That night
nurse Katy heard Flora add to her
prayer go God, please forgive Sir
Moses, for he didn't know any bettern

THE DOLL'S SERIOUS ILLNESS.

THE DOLL'S SERIOUS ILLNESS.
Yes, she's very i'll, indeed; her head is as hot
as mustard,
And she can't eat single thing, for I've tried
her with cake and custard;
And the doctor says there's only one thing
that's left to do,
To save her precious life. Would you do it, if
you knew?
oh, please, mamma, don't laugh, and don't
say: THAT depends"
You re her grandma, and you ought TO be one
of her bestest friends.
He says she needs fresh air, and what Johnnie
calls "a lark
And the only air that's fresh enough is what
blowing in the park.
And he says she ought to have red straw
berry ice-cream;
And she can't go. in the cars, for she muslin t
smell the steam.
And he says must go to hold her, and not to
let her cry;
And if there's no ice-cream to give her a little
pie.
You know, my grandma gives me what want,
when am ill;
And you know that you're her grandma
=, now+please just say you will.
III she cries, she can't get well; and you'd not
like folks to say
That I've better grandma than she has, any
way.

POlitenesS.

A group of boys stood on a street.
corner discussing their respective
chances Of success in answering an adj
vertisement for an errand-boy in a
wholesale dry-goods house near by.
Their names and addresses had already
been registered, and they were sent off
with the remark that the "best boy
would be sent for when wanted"
While they thus stood talking an old
man, with hair white as snow, bowed
back and trembling hands, came slowly
and unsteadily down the street, the only
support to his feeble limbs being his
stout cane. When short distance
from the boys the cane dropped from
his hand and rolled into the gutter.
"Look there, Billy" said one of the
boys, 1.-THE old mans swamped.
AT this all the boys but one broke out
into loud uncouth laugh.
Hes shivering as if the winter wind
was blowing" ioked another.
But Harry Walton looked serious, and
rushing to the gutter, picked up the
cane, wiped the mud and water from it
and handed it back to the old man,
touching his cap respectfully as he
said:
''Can I assist you, sir?"
''Ihank you, my man; you may help
me across the street"
with pleasure.
And Harry, taking the old man by
the hand, assisted him over the cross
ing, and even opened the door of the
store for him to enter.
Once inside, he was led to an easy
chair in the private office.
well, father, | have large list of
names to select FROM" said the son in
answer to his fathers question. 'They
all seem sprightly and intelligent, but
the one who suits me seems to be slow
yet very polite; in, fact, this char
acteristic pressed itself forcibly upon
me"
suppose you summon them all here
and see if / can not help you out of your
difficulty"
So a postal card was sent to each boy
to appear the next day, and at the APP
pointed time they were on hand.
When they were all gathered together
the old gentleman adjusted his glasses,
and said that before the selection would
be made he would tell them story.
And he selected the particulars of the
incident of the day before, and closed
by saying chat he wished he knew who
the hero of that incident was.
"Please, sir" said one of the bows,
"that was Harry Walton, and he's here
with u.s."
with you, is hep spoke up the old
man. "Then, James," turning to his
son, chats the boy for u.s.
"Why, that's the very boy I regarded
as so slow" returned the SON ''But l
guess boy who is so polite and consid-
crate for the aged and infrm must nee
essarily be fitted for the position"
The rest of the boys looked confused
and uneasy, and as the old gentleman
concluded his lecture on politeness they
departed with the determination to fol-
low his advice.
1t costs nothing to cultivate good
manners, but it pays to have them. The
boy or girl who is polite and civil to
every one, no matter of what creed or
nationality; who practices civility on the
street as well as at home, or who has q
kind word or is ready to assist those
who can not help themselves, is always
sure to succeed, not only in winning the
respect and confidence of the public,
but also in getting along in the world

A Reasonable EXcuse.

A gentleman in Richmond, Va, had
a servant named Joe. One morning he
lay in bed till nine o clock, but no Joe
and no fire. The impossibility Of shaw
ing with water thirty degrees below
freezing point brought imprecations on
the tardy domestic's head, when the
door opened and Aunt Polly leisurely
began to light the fire.
"Where in thunder (the historian is
nothing if he is not accurately sis that
son OF yours? I've been waiting for
him two blessed hours"
Now, Marse Tray, you must 'cuse

The Mexican People.

The population of Mexico is COM
monty estimated at nine or ten millions.
No census has been taken, but this eSti-
mate is probably not exaggerated. The
great mass of the inhabitants are Indi-
ans. and in race and habits they are
similar to the Pueblo, Zuni and Navajo
Indians of New Mexico and Arizona.
They are generally small in stature, So
Der, honest, industrious, temperate and
intelligent. A more valuable peasant
ry can scarcely be found. Their vir.
tues are their own; their vices are of
European admixture. School educa-
ton has done little or nothing for them;
but of late years efforts have been made
to establish schools for their benefit.
They seem very capable of being in
structed; and if, as we trust, there is a
bright future for Mexico, it lies in the
development and education of the ma
tive race.
The ruling classes in Mexico are
mainly of Spanish and mixed blood
The late President Juarez was pure
Indian, but the number of educated
people with nothing Spanish in their
origin, must be very small indeed
Among the civil and military function.
aries the Spanish element appears tc
predominant; and the political usages
of the country are decidedly Spanish in
their nature.-COr. NJ Y. Sun.

A Good Speculation. f. Boyd
Faulkner, of Martinsbur deliver Ell an
address to the Cleveland and Hendricks
Club and the public generally at Shop
herdStown last Saturday evening. Mr..
Faulkner made Il most excellent speech OH
the issues before the people, and lie was
listened to attentively by large audience,
many of whom were ladies. The good
points he made were loudly applauded,
and his whole address was highly COM
mcnted upon.
After Mr.. Faulkner had concluded,
calls were made for NJ. +. j. Simpson, Of
Martinsburg, and that gentleman respond
ed in 4 few very eloquent remarks, which
were exceedingly we'll received.
Mr.. Faulkner has greatly deepened the
admiration in which he is held by his old
friends, and ut the same time made many
new ones, by the unselsh and hearty
man ner in which he is working for the
success of his former opponent. He has
not "sulked in his tent" but on the con-
trary has entered into the campaign as
earnestly as if lie himself was before the
people. He is square man, and we be-
lieve that to-day there is not more pop
ular man in West Virginia.
