0aperstitious Devices Adopted to Preserve
Honesty and Order.

Duperstitious Devices Adopted 70 Preserve
Honesty and Order.
In Samoa the natives frequently re-
sort to what is known as the taboo"
to brighten thieves from their bread
fruit trees Among q superstitious
people so simple device does much
to preserve honesty and order.
The ''white shark taboo was and Is
an object of terror to q thief. Cocoa
nut leaves are plated in the form Of .
shark. fins and all. and this is sus.
pended from the bread-fruit tree. 1t
is equivalent to an expressed impreca.
ton that the thief might be devoured
by the white shark the next time he
went to fish.
The "cross-stick taboo was a piece
Of any sort of stick suspended hor-
izontally from the tree. 1t expressed
the wish of the owner Of the tree that
any thief touching it might have a
disease running across his body. and
remain fixed there till he died.
The ''tic-doloureux taboo was made
by fixing spear in the ground close
by the trees which the owner wished
to guard. 1t was expressive of
wish that the thief might suffer from
the agonies of that disease.
The death taboo" is made by pour.
ing some oil into calabash and bury
ing it near the tree. The spot is
marked nv a little hilIOck IF white
sand. The sight of one of these places
is effectual in soaring away thief.
The "rat taboo is small cocoanut-
leaf basket filed with ashes from the
cooking-house and two or three small
stones and suspended from the tree.
1t signifies a wish that rats may eat
holes 10 the fine mats of the thief and
destroy any cloth or other property
which he may value.
If a man wishes the lightning to
strike any one who steals from his
land he plaits some cocoanut leaflets
in the form of small square mat and
suspends it from a tree. with the ad-
dition of some white streamers of
native cloth. This is the thunder
taboo" The thief believes that il he
trespasses he or some of his children
may be struck by lightning. or that
his own trees NAV be blasted by light
ning-or rather by the the thunder.

What an Oculist Has to Say on This Inn
pOrtant Subject

What an Oculist Has to Say ON This Inn
pOrtant Subject
According to my observations,
about one pupil in every ten in the
public schools wears glasses" says an
oculist, land that is a pretty big per-
centage. Day after day fathers and
mothers come here and want to have
their children fitted with glasses.
When asked what has affected the
eyes, the answer is almost invariably
Too much studying
.'By reason of constantly coming
into conta It with the parents of school
children, am in q position to under
stand that the young people are now
obliged to study very hard in order to
keep up with the constant increase of
studies piled upon them.
1T is a commendable idea that
exists among the parents of this city
that of educating their children to the
highest possible standard but it is an
idea and a practice that will have a
marked effect on the future genera
tons of the people hereabouts. Weak
ness of the eyes is an hereditary all
ment, and if the future wives and hus-
bands, now growing up, are to have
their eyes strained to such a great ex-
tent, it must follow in the natural
course of things that the second or
third generation will be one of eye
glass wearers.
"There are some people upon whom
glasses look we'll. and relieve in man
ner the harsh lines of their features;
but as a rule regard them as dis
fgurement, and the necessity of wear
ing them can be avoided by the judi
cious selection for children of hours for
studying.
1.-The best time for a child to study
is early in the morning. Let the little
one go to bed at dusk, and arise with
the lark in the morning and study.
Then there will never be any necessity
for wearing glasses unless weakness

A Radical Change.

In a recent address before St. Louis
audience, Susan b. Anthony argued
that the female suffragists were not
striving to establish any new principles
of government, but that they were
merely endeavoring to emphasize
principle as old as government itself
the right of every citizen to a voice in
the government This right was en-
bodied in the Constitution, but by rea-
son of the false construction put upon
that instrument by the Supreme Court
at Washington. the women were compell-
ed to ask for right to which they were
fully entitled in all fairness and justice.
Such women as Hannah Corbin. Mary
Otis Warren and Abigail Adams had
keenly felt the injustice done their sex
in denying them the right of the bal
lot. and their names stood upon the
pages of history as having protested
against this crying wrong: The women
of New Jersey were the first to vote. and
they participated.in the election of Wash
ington, jefferson and Adams. but in
1907 this right was denied them. In
1910 the constitution of that State was
amended by the insertion of that
beautiful little word male" in the
suffrage clause. Every step of the
way had been contested inch by inch.
and as late as 1910 women were denied
the right to speak in public. At the
great anti-slavery convention held in
London in that year. the question of
admitting the female delegates from
America was discussed for three days.
and at the end of that time was mega
tived by large majority. Not only
were they not allowed to give express
sion to their thoughts and opinions in
public, but were practically debarred
from employment in the many trades
and professions by which an honest
livelihood might be obtained.
'All this. however" said she, ''has
undergone a radical change, and now.
to-day, they are to be found in every
place where man goes to earn an honest
dollar. The only trouble is that they
are generally paid smaller wages md
given inferior positions, no matter what
their capabilities"

USE OF THE HARROW.

The Importance Of Using 1t Both Before
and After Planting.
Both in the prepar alton of the soil
for planting the seed and in COM
mencing the cultivation the harrow is
an economical implement to use.
With all crops, and especially with
those that are to be cultivated. it is
quite an item to have the soil pre-
pared in a good condition before
planting the seeds. 1t is not often the
case that blowing alone will fit the
soil properly for planting. And in
majority of cases it will prove good
economy to put in little more time
narrowing and preparing the soil in
a good filth instead of planting the
seed in a soil not thoroughly pre-
pared. 1t is very important item to
commence the cultivation as soon as
possible after the crop has been
planted. From different causes it may
not always be possible to begin the
cultivation as soon as it should be
done. but preparing the soil in q good
filth before planting the seed will be
found a valuable aid in tLis respect.
But, if the soil is wet. it is usually OF
very little benefit to use the harrow:
but, in what may be considered an
average season, the harrow can be
used before any other implement, de.
stroying the weeds and at the
same time fining the soil; and it will
do this more thoroughly and at less
expense than any other tool. As q
rule the sooner the work is done after
planting the better the results will
be. With corn and potatoes espe-
cially. two good borrowings can be
given with profit. When this is done,
it will usually be better to eross-har-
row the second time Some prefer to
remove a row of teeth, so as not to
run the risk of disturbing the plants.
but, under ordinary conditions. this is
not necessary. IS the real damage
done is much less than the looks will
often indicate. Something. of course.
depends upon the kind OF soil and tho
harrow used. 3s some harr0ws do bet
ter work in some soil than others.
and. like the majority Of other tools.
no one tool can by any means Be
considered the best for all purposes.
On many farms it will be found
profitable to have different harrowa
for different purposes. and at the
same time be sure they are adapted
to your soil.
The soone. the cultivation can b
begun the more thorough the work
cad b done. and the better will be the
growth and thrift Of the plants And
