~ don't, and | don't know who does,
but Eve Just learned something about
them that strikes me as being funny.
A friend of mine just returned from the
Nicobar islands says that n of the Pc
culiarities of the inhabitants is a pas
sion for old hats. The savages don't
wear anything on their persons except
the conventional slip of cloth you va
read about, but young and old, chief
and sub. ect, try to outyie each other in
headgear and in the number of old bats
they car acquire in n lifetime.
On a fine morning, he says, he has
seen the surface Of the water in the vi
cinity OF the islands dotted oyer with
canoes, each harrington its occupant a
noble savage decked out in his narrow
slip of cloth and a tall white hat with a
black band. The aforesaid noble bar
barian is busy catching fish for his din
ner. They won't have new hats. look
ing on them with suspicion. Traders
from Calcutta make excursions over
there with cargoes of old hats which
they barter for cocoanuts. a good,
tall white hat with a black band is
worth about sixty %cocoanuts. The peo.
pie become almost as excited while the
trading is going on rs a lot of stock
brokers, and sometimes, when a lot OF
EN- are after tho same hat, they bid
against each other until the price gets
up into hundreds Of nuts. When the
trading is over the merchants generally
set up the rum, and the whole popula
ton get drunk in their hats"

Peas are sacred to Freya, almost Wy
ing with the mistletoe in alleged virtue
for lovers. In one district of bohemia
the girls go into a field of peas and make
there a garland of five or seven kinds of
towers, all of different hues. The gar
land they must sleep upon lying with
their Sight ear upon it, and then they
hear a voice from underground, which
tells what manner of men they will have
for husbands. Sweet peas would doubt
less prove very effectual in this kind of
divination, and there need be no diti-
Guilty in finding them of different hues.
II Hertfordshire girls are lucky enough
to find a pod containing nine peas they
lay it under a gate and believe they will
have for a husband the first man that
passes through. On the borders un-
lucky lads. and lasses in courtship are
rubbed down with pea straw by friends
of the opposite sex. These beliefs con
nected with peas are very widespread.

Mr. FORAKER, the Republican candi-

in response to a scronade recently, in Col

key upon which he will pitch the canvass.

wonderful achievements of his party was
