its wings are seven white stars and beneath
1t, half on each side. are six more, the THU

Building a House in Samoa

The negotiations between the skilled

Samoan house owner would amuse. but
hardly meet the approval of, the bust.
ness man of to-day. Under the pro-
pitiating influence of kava, the neces
sary presents are produced to induce
the carpenter to undertake the con-
struction of house. 1t is begun at
once, without any terms of agreement,
and the work advances until the car
penter thinks more presents necessary,
and he ceases work. Additional gifts
being made. the carpenter continues the
construction until he deems it neces-
sary to demand another contribution.
when he again stops work. If the
contribution is not forthcoming, labor
is suspended nthe incompleted house,
never to be undertaken for completion
by another OF the craft; and forever
afterwards it remains unfinished and a
public reproach to the good name Of
the unfortunate owner. who, at the
time of its beginning, not knowing
what may be the idea of the carpenter
as to the cost of its construction. must
either call upon the community for
aid, which is generally freely ex-
tended, or suffer the humiliation of
this unfinished monument. -Centurv
