The Samoan Islands,

1T may be as we'll to point out that
the intrinsic value of the Samoan group
is by no means considerable. Its his
tory until within the last few years has
been one of continuous turmoil and
bloodshed; native wars having ravaged
the country to such an extent as al
most to ruin it. Lying more than six
hundred miles distant from Fiji, it can
not compare for Importance in any way
with those islands, being much smaller
and less fertile as whole. 1t possess
ses good harbor, but in this respect
is by no means exceptional. The two
principal islands are Savaii and Upolu.
The former is the larger island of the
two; and it's appearance from tt ,ea is
magnificent, as it rises regularly up
from the shore until it ends in peak
over five thousand feet high, covered
with greenery on the windward side
to the very summit. This island, ac-
cording to the traditions of the natives,
has been the cradle of the Polynesian
race; many of the neighborning islands
having been peopled from it, and even
the Maoris (who certainly much re-
semble the Samoans) having originally
come from Savaii. This, of course, is
very doubtful; but that the tradition
exists is undoubted. Savaii is now
very thinly inhabited, only the coast
line being occupied by few native
towns. Upolu, the smaller island, is
far richer; and here is Apia the Euro
pean settlement, formerly d place of
some Importance owing to the fire.
quent visits of whalers in the day
when the whale fishery was profita BILE.
the Samoans themselves are perhaps
the best looking race in all Polynesia;
the women when young being decided
ly pretty and by no means unconscious
of the fact. Apia has been called the
Corinth of the south seas; and there
can he no doubt that in the matter of
morality the Samoans are quite worthy
of comparison with the inhabitants of
the Greek city. They are, however,
even more hospitable and polite than
Fjians, which is saying much. OF
late years the horrible native wars and
the tactics of an American adventurer
called some attention to the group.
But the trade, which has been prin ci-
pally in the hands of the Germans,
was never of great Importance, Apla
itself beirg depot and calling station
for vessels (Which called and collected
cocoa-nut oil, sandal wood, and beche-
demer, and latterly cotton from other
groups), rather than commercial
outlet for Samoan goods. In short,
Samoa is Interesting and rather anus
ing to the traveller, though by no means
the marvel of beauty either in regard
to scenery or people that some have
represented it.-H. Janaes's Gazette.

An American Mute Artist.

1 have been looking at two pictures,
writes Paris correspondent, by an
artist who has been a deaf-mute ever
since his infancy. Mr.. Humphrey
Moore, however, talks as nimbly with
his fingers as other persons do with
their tongues, and that, too, in some
four Of five languages. He is one of
our best American painters, and these
two canvases are attra citing a great
deal of attention. One is a character
istic Spanish scene, a view of the
Athambra; twelve dancers and musi-
clans on and around table; two CO.
quettish ladies seated in chairs enjoy
ing themselves with the gossip of these
cabotins, and in the background the
old Moorish palace. In truth, tho
scene is a living one. The ply siogno-
mics each had their proper character,
their individuality, and yet all are
participating in the common action
that bids fair to bring them in plenti-
full supply of coin. These players,
this beautiful dance, these ravishing
senoritas, are alive, their poses are
easy and natural, their local costumes
accuracy itself. Mr.. Moore has re-
produced with marvellous fidelity the
black eyes, the luscious lips, the grace
full forms, the exact colors Which he
saw in Seville and elsewhere out-of-
doors in that picturesque land. The
figures are small, almost minute, and
yet with what a vigorous touch, with
what great finesse, has he laid on all
the artistic details that were necessary
to give to them moving actuality.
This remark is equally true as applied
to the other picture, a scene in Japan,
and which is brim-full of the local
color of that far-off empire. For these
two pictures Mr.. Crocker paid for the
Spanish $1,000, and for the japanese
one $4,000. Bonnat pronounces both
of them ravtssant. Mr.. Moore is a
pupil of the geat Gerome, and disci.

Fortuny, whose widow Is one of Mrs.
Moore's most intimate friends. Both

A Word for the jersey,

It is not our purpose in presenting
the merits of the little Jersey to abuse
any other breed of cattle. The noble
Short Horn is known over the civil
lied world as most royal animal. 1,
has mersts for the dairy as we'll as for
the butcher pen. Besides the Short
Horn, as peer, at least for beef,
stands the noble and symmetrical Here
ford. Then, too, comes the Polled
Angus, it's advocates claiming for it all
the merits of both the above breeds.
Then the Devon, meek, kind and gen.
tie, looks out of it's bright eye upon
world of admirers, who contend that
for the dairy, for the butcher and fo1
work animals there is no superior.
The Holstein and the Ayrshire and
the Guernsey and even the little Guinea
COW maintain undisputcd credit for
worth in the dairy, in the stall and in
the field. All are grand, and even the
native breeds loom up in the hands of
careful breeders as often worth the
weight of their long horns in standard
dollars. But here we desire, espec-
tally, to present merits of the ''pride
of the dairy" the grand little Jersey.
She is particularly family COW,
contributing, under kind treatment,
which she so we'll deserves, to the
happiness of those who watch over
and nourish her. With good care, she
Is gentle and kind, always ready to
give her flow of good, rich milk, turn
ing out more butter for the same num-
Der of pounds of lacteal fluid thar any
other known COW. 1t has been COM
puted that pound of first class Jersey
as pound of beef from the best beef
animal, but the butter is worth several
times as much as the best meat. A
gentleman owning Jersey herd, near
San Antonio, has not sold pound of
butter for less than fifty cents for years,
and he is selling several hundred dol
lars worth per month, Another gen.
tleman, living near Austin, receives
similar prices for his Jersey butter,
and it is in great demand. A good
Jersey will give from ten to fifteen
pounds of butter per week,
while fancy records have gone away
above the highest figure. At ten
pounds per week the yield would be,
for THIRTY 1.-TWO weeks in the year, 34C
pounds, worth at thirty-tive cents pc,
pound $l19. This is more money thar
we'll fattened high bred Short Horn
or Hereford, three years old, would
command in the beef market, and the
Jersey cow would not eat in one year
as much as the beef. The Jersey is a
little dairy queen, and we wish the
breed in it's purity were widely dis
tributed over the land.-Teras Farm
and Ranch.

Among many other good things in old
Massachusetts is Home for Intemper-
ate Women. It takes women from the
lookup and from the criminal courts
and the streets; it takes them madly,
stupidity, chronically drunk, and so dirty
and degraded that the spark of humanity
seems to have gone out in them; and
yet, by good physical care for from
three to six months, and by lifting
again tenderly the bedraggled souls
which are in them, the home puts them
upon an entirely new plane of hope
fulness and self-respectlng womanhood.
The matron in charge reports that they
are constantly coming back, after they

WHAT THE HALF -RRKEDs WANT.

Elements, for the inhabitants Of which nd
provision was then made; nor indeed was
any demanded At the time. st. Laurent,
one Of these, was established as long ago as
1862, and is a fairly prosperous place. The
first demand for consideration was preferred
asked to DO placed on the same footing as
regards fres homesteads as the Metis of Man
ltoba. Later on, when the domluion surveyors
appeared in the country, a fresh grievance
sprung up. The alf-breeds, as was the
French custom, had settled along the rivers,
each farm having harrow water frontage,
and extending fat back in the form of long
parAllelogralh. Tho surveyors were, of course,
compelled to destroy this arrangement of the
cgainst it. They also renewed their claim for
grants Of 240 acres per capita, and from that
day to this the agitation has been maintained,

Taxpayers in some of the large cities
are organizing for protection against
extravagant municipal expenditures. A
very large proportion of the trouble in
the government of cities, regarding
money expenditures, arises from mis-
conception OF the functions of municipal
government, and tho lack of checks
against the voting of money for purposes
not germane to local government.

The Choral Habit and Life Insurance.

"The chloral habit" says the Balti-
more UnderUriter, ''is steadily on the
increase, not only among sufferers
from constant insomnia, but among
persons subject to milder forms of
nervous irritation, to the strain and
excitement of speculative ventures, or
to the wear and tear of late hours and
fashionable dissipation. This nepenthe
is more seductive to people of refine
ment than the juice Of the poppy, and
habitual surrender to it's denomination
is harder to break than the opium
habit. To the usual questions in the
application for life insurance as to the
use or abuse vi alcoholic drinks, to-
bacco and opium, may well be added
scrutiny as to hydrate of chloral, for
many persons who never use the
former would have to pleade guilty to
more or less frequent recourse to the
latter"

those who died in Confederate prisons
