THE PRIMITIVE HOMES or SAVAGE PACIFIC ISLANDERS
From the san Francisco Examiner
The Gilbert Islander does not generally care TO
have any sides 10 his dwelling. He sets up four
corner posts, about four feet high, made from the
trunks of screw palms, cut on and inverted 80 as
to stand alone on the stumps OF the branches.
Lashed from one to the other of these are long
slender trunks OF cOcOanut palms. and from these
again spring pairs OF rafters, which, In their turn
support the neatly matched roof The gable ends
are then ciosed and the house Is complete Not q
nail OF pin Of any kind Is used. Ali the beams,
ra tiers and the thaLch are secured by ingenious
lashings, made generally from the palm leaf nber,
though sometimes bralued from the owners own
hair. The floor space Is sInOOthed Oh and covered
with a thick bed OF small SnOtn pebbles or coral
On this are spread plenty OF soft, thick mats made
Of course, from palm leaves, and then, with sup
ply OF young cocOanuIs al hand, With string Of
the shells filed with good supply OF "tOduyn
hanging outside tue house, AID the huge fragment
or SHARK, baked In wide oven In the sand, the
islander Is content TO eat and sleep until hungry
again.
In the middle Of every village Is q council
house" This Is large hut, one that we measured
beng 120 feet .ong, 60 feet wide and 90 leet high
at tue rdgepole, built on the same plan as the
dwellings, but Intended as place OF meeting, eS-
pecislly for tine told men" who rule each commu
nifty. These "pOtent, grave and reverend seign-
ors" meet daily ana hear ana decide all complaints
and issue ali ordinances Tor the government The
people. II their decisions and ordinances happen
70 meet with the approval Of a majority OF those
Interested they are adopted II they don't an
other lot are promulgated the next day and so on
until the matter Is sell cd or dropped.

From the Atlanta CONSTITUTION.
After the soup had been served, and just prior to
serving the next course, the host gave his signal
and rose from his seat, as did every other gentle
man at the table. all the ladies remaining seated.
Each gentleman then moved 10 the next gentle
mans seat to his right. When this was first done,
the ladies' not being let into the secret were very
much surprised at the unusual conduct OF the
gentlemen, and could not at once comprehend the
mean ng or IL; but when they gathered its full in
tent, and the charm there was In IL, 1t was de-
cid .dly gratifying to note the merriment and In
tertst with which they received the innovation.
just prior to the commencement OF the next
course the host gave his signal again. and each
gentleman again moved one gentlemans seat u
his right. and so on. The entire setting OF the
courses was so harmOniOusly arranged that at the
close OF the dinner each gentleman had visited for
short space every lady at the table, and had at
last returned to her whom he had escorted in to
dinner.

Ne mere Peacock Feather.
FHuRn n SUPERSTITION ABOUT rHHn, AND lHsY
HAVE GONE OUT OF FASHION.
From the New York SUN.
In olden times the plumaee Of the peacock
was considered among the brightest Of natures
beauties. The proud bird itself was prepared with
Gil its feathers on for the grand benQuets OF kings
and high mobiles. where Il held the most promi-
nent place. Until witnin Few years only o small
number OF even the wealtniest persona especially
In America felt that they could AFFORD 70 include
costly, and every woman prided herself upon the
possession OF few In her bonnet II she were
fortunate enough 70 have fan made OF these
began to use them Tor decorative purposes. he
On cloth surface, and others 9th Which were more
costly, with the feathers closely sewed together;
fans with silver handles, sofa cushions, and chair
seats were made OF the brilliant plumage. The
feathers even used In the decoration Of walls
and for fr1ezes and dadoes.
But suddenly, and apparently without cause,
the demand ceased. The feathers that had pre-
viously been the Joy Of the owner were looked
upon with distaSte and pronounced out OF fashion.
They were rutnlessly torn from the hats they had
adorned from walls and screens. and thrown into
the rubbish heaps.
Whence came this sudden and unexplained dis
like? The reporter was told that an ancient super
stition to the effect that peacocks and peacocks
feathers were sure TO bring bad luck to their
owner had been revived and had brought about
the downfall OF the fashion. He made inquiries
ut the stores where peacock feathers formerly
supplied, and found that the demand for them
had ceased entirely. At Ttffanys II was said that
they had not sold fan or screen OF peacock
feathers for several years. Customers never ask
for them. The reporter was informed at other
houses that feathers that formerly sold at high
prices can now be obtained for ~ 80 and rs cents
bunch. A number Of importers said that they
were used very little.
Daniel Hodnot, a resident OF Long Branch, and a
brOther-in-law OF the late Daniel Liddy, brought
his wife a screen made Of peacock feathers from
superstition jestingly, and she was not disturbed
byit. Since then MIR. Hodnot's house has several
times narrowly escaped destruction by fire; a
valuable dog belonging to him has died without
apparent cause; burglars have entered the place
and stolen valuables; and both Mr.. Liddy and Mr..
HOdn0t have died. Finally q lawsuit TO contest
Mr. Liddy'S will Is threatened.
