Lunch Boxes Must Go.

4 prominent physician says that child.
ren's school lunchconS should not be
placed in the old fashion lunch basket O,
tin box. as bad odors always cling to the
receptacle. What he recommends is G
frrsh, clean napkin wrapped neatly round
the bread and butter or other edibles, and
a pasteboard box To mold it all. The box
can then be thrown away when the meaI
is done. The good sense Of this will
strike every person, given 10 wholesome
living. and il will also delight the bon
nanuiacturcrs. who should Immediately
get up "a cheap little box especially adapted
10 the conveyance Of school luncbcons.
Parents, no doubt, would be glad to buy
these boxes as they buy matches, by Tia,
quantity, should they supersede TIA,
luncheon basket.

A MANSION.
Description of "A Dining Hall In New
GuInea.


There are two large posts in front,
eighty feet high, on which rest the large
leaked shade, around which there hangs
II graceful fringe OF young sage leaf. The
front is about thirty feet wide, and the
whole length Of the house is 100 feet,
tapering gradually down 10 the back,
Nnere 1t is small. Our compartment is
bout twenty feet high and ten feet broad.
The front is a common platform tloored
with the outer skin OF the sage palm and
sept beautifully clean. The whole is di-
vlded into courts, with divisions of cocoa
nut leaves, nine feet high, on which hang
various figures, not at all ~good-looking.
From the top TO the cocOann leaves hang
graceful curtains of the young trond OF
the sage palm.
Standing on the platform in front and
looking down the whole length along the
paSsage or hall, with the various divisions
end their curtains, it has a wonderful effect.
iH each of the courts are numerous skulls
81 men, women and children, crocodiles
and bears, also many beasts of the casso-
81 ry. All are carved and many painted.
Ihc human skulls are of those who have
been killed and eaten. The daintiest dish
here is man, and it is considered that only
.ools refuse and despise it. In the last
court there are the same kind Of ornaments,
.ad then a screen with ~curiously formed
Alngs of wood and native cloth hanging
N IT, also, sibis, their only clothlng),
belts, small bags and other things belong

1rcch of the boat, while the mate steercd.
vpOn approaching the whale it was seen

nat kept slowly milling around. evidently
waiting to be attacked.
hen the boat was near enough 10 war
ant "a shot Capt. West fired the gun. but
the sea was rough the motion Of the
boat destroyed the accuracy of his aim.
ihe whale was badly wounded but not i'm
any vital part. The whale then made for
'ne boat. and in passing under it struck il
yith his flukes. throwing it some thirty feet
MO the air with its crew. As the boat de.
seconded the whale again struck it with hit
tai completely demolished the boat and
k.led one of the crew, Jacob Klock, cut.
ting him completely in two. The whale
tacn commenced To bite and strike with
iis tail at the pieces of the boat, killing
Two more men, Neal Olson and
Chris. Johnson. who were supporting
Themselves on pieces of the wreck. Capt.
" est, the mate, and the other me-. were
safely taken aboard the steamer, and AT.
Other boat was lowered TO capture the
monster. /. Then the whale attacked the
steamer. BY a quick turn of the rudder
the steamer cleared him by a few feet.
This occurred a second time, and the swell
which was created by the whales fall
back into the water Knocked all on board
of their feet. BY throwing over an i'm.
mense cask, at which the whale, thinking
it was the ship, kept bucking away, the
Captain was enabled to get a shot with the
bomb lance, and finally the whale was
KILLED.
