Our young readers can hardly fail to be
more or less interested in Samoa and the Sa-
means, now that there is so much said and
written in connection with the Samoa ques-
lion.
This group of Islands lies in the South Pa
cifc, about two-thirds of the way from the
coasts of Central Peru to those of Northern
Australia. Ten of the islaQds are inhabited.
There Is a population Of $1,000 all native:
with the exception of three or four hundred
whites They are a handsome race. The meu
are tail and well formed. The women are
much smaller and stouter than the men and
have fat noses The complexion of this race
is light brown. They do not kiss each other
as we do, but press their faces together and
rub noses instead. For the most part their
clothing is nothing but i strip of cloth wound
about the waist falling half way to the knees.
ISae men are all tattooed. The chiefs wear
garlands of flowers.
They live in huts made Of bamboo. There
are no walls, but when it becomes necessary
to shut out the wind, rain or sun, mats made
Of cocoanut leaves are let down. The floors
are, made Of pebbles They have no beds,
b sleep on mats spread upon the floor. Pill
lows are made of length Of bamboo resting
on legs. They cook in a hole scooped out OF
the floor, and lined with large pebbles There
they cook their bread fruit and fish. The
bread fruit looks like large Usage orange,
and tastes like sweet potatoes when it il
roasted

LITTLE SAMOA AND THE SAMOANS.
Marbles, How and Where they are Made
The Curiosity Shop-Industrious
Habits of Birds.

The marbles now played with appear to be
of modern invention, but we have every rea-
son to believe that the ancients had many
games in which round, water worn pebbles,
nuts, and other small things that could be
easily bowled along were used as marbles.
There are many different kinds Of marbles.
Those made Of agate are priced above every
other sort, and, indeed, their pre-eminence is
fully justified by the exquiStely beautiful
vejni of some of them and the rich and har-
monious coloring of others Alleys are made
Of white marble striped and clouded with red.
and when this color predominates they are
. called blood alleys These marbles rank
5ext in value to the agateS Taws or
stoneys, of brown marble streaked with
darker tones of the same color, form the
third class; French Jaws of stained or col
ored marble the next; the gaudy Dutch
marbles of glazed clay, painted either yellow
or green, and ornamented with stripes of a
dark color, constitute class the fifth, while
the unpretending yellowish clay marbles, or
commoneys, form the very lowest class, and
are held IN little repute by those who can pro-
cure the superior kinds. In many games
with marbles considerable skill is required
To shoot, or FLIP, taw with precision is no
easy task; this operation is performed by
placing the taw upon the inside of the fore
finger and propelling it with the nail Of the
thumb. While player is shooting his mar
bic his opponent can compel him to knuckle
down-in other words, to touch the ground
with the middle joint of his forefnger-this
is to prevent unfair play. Marbles should
always be carried in bag, and never in the
pocket.

THE DEATH OF THE CHuRN.

A woman, of West Nyack, has made
discovery which. if it can be put in sue
cessful operation, will result in the aboli-
ton of the old me hod Of churning, and
revolutionize the art Of butter making. The
discovery was purely accidental and the
discoverer, who has experimental with
her new method many times, believes In it
thoroughly. She put the cream of several
DAYS milking IRON her pet Jersey cow in
a thick cloth one day, and as it was too
warm to churn, placed the bag in TIE
ground in u cool place, throwing shovel
full of earth over it so that the cat could
not get at ii. She left it there until size
came home next day. When she took the
bag from the ground she found the cream
had turned to great yellow lump of butter,
and the only thing left for her to do was to
salt and work it the buttelmilk had en-
tirely disappeared, bat there " as about
a third more than the usual amount of
butter obtained by churDing. she has
tried the experiment dozen times since,
and always obtained better butter than by
churning. The only exception was one
time when the rain soaked into the
ground and Inildewed the cream.-1Ibday

The Union Jack.

The British Union Jack bears on blue
ground the red cross of St George for Eng
land, the white diagonal cross of st. Andrew
for Scotland and the red diagonal cross of
ST. Patrick for Ireland. The original Union
Jack was adopted in lG0G, three years after
James VI of Scotland became king of Eng
land, and consisted of the crosses of st.
George and ST. Andrew. The name Jack is
said to be corruption of the word Jacobus
Jaques or James. The flag was adopted 1Ol
years before the two Kingdoms were united;
during that time they were separate king
doms, with, as it happened, one ruler. Ia
1901, when Ireland was taken into the
Union" the cross of st. Patrick was added.
The United States Jack bears thirty-eight or
forty-two stars, typical of our states, and
may properly be called a Union Jack, only
it isn't so called, and any Union Jack"
casually mentioned must be understood to
mean a British ensign.

PLAYING MARBLES.

Numbered with popular games with mar
bles among English boys is the one known as
SHOPS and spans One player shoots his mar
BILE to little distance, and his opponent tries
to strike or "snop," or at all events to shoot
within a span of it; in either case he takes
the marble. If he misses, or shoots beyond
the span, the first player takes up his marble
from the spot where it rested, and shoots at
that of the second. They continue shooting
in this manner till either one or the other is
sDopped or spanned- The game is then begun
again by the winner.
Picking the plums" is another interesting
game. A line is drawn on the ground, along
which each player places a certain number
of marbles. At this line the players shoot
their taws in turns from given point The
marbles knocked of the line become the prop
erty OF the striker, and the game continues
untSlIpo marbles remain. The marbles should
befsaced as close together as possible without
actually touching.

SAN Francisco, Cal. May 20.-John f.
Burris, San Francisco lawyer, had re
markable adventure with a maniac client
Friday night near the Agnew asylum for
chronic insane in Santa Clara valley. The
details just came to light to-day, show that
Burris' nerve saved not only his own life
but the lives of the physician vino accom-

went to a house near the asylum to see
Henry Weiboid, whose wife is suing him for
divorce on the grounds of insanity and
cruelty. Burris was the woman S counsel
and wanted an expert opinion on WeibOid's
insanity. When he reached the place be
found Mrs. Weiboid greatly excited. She
said she feared violence from her husband.
who was in an ugly temper and had threat
ened to kill her. Burris went in to see him,
accompanied by the wife and the doctor.
Scarcely had they entered the room when
the lunatic, who is a man of huge proper
tions said quietly, at the same time produc-
ing pistol:
GLAD you came, as I've got to kin you
all"
At the sane time he leveled his revolver at
Burris. The wife sank into a chair while
DR. Hadden was so overcome with fright
that he tainted. Burris coolly proposed
that the maniac hear q story before he did
the shooting, and the result wa. that the
lawyer told one of his best humorous an
ecdOtes. When he ended the lunatic said:
That's good story, but now I'VE got to
kill you"

Sea Salt.

At one time nearly the whole of the salt
used as food and for industrial purposes was
obtained from the sea, and in many countries
where the climate is dry and warm, and
which have a convenient seaboard, great
quantity of salt is still SO obtained. In Por-
tugal more than $4,000 tons are annually
produced, and the same quantity approx
mately is obtained on the Atlantic and Medi-
terranean coasts of France Spain has salt
works in the Balearic Islands, the Bay of
Cadiz and elsewhere, which turn out annually
800, 900 tons, and even the small seaboard of
Austria produces every year from 10000 10
100 GOO tons.

OF Shears. In one OF the compartments of the
box is some betel nut, cut fine with the
shears; in another several sirih leaves; in the
next some slaked lime made from coral shells,
and In the last some fine tobacco. At mid
day, which is the dinner hour, the family as
sembles and squats in a circle on mats, which
do duty for chairs. In the center is bowl
of rice and another of curry Each one takes
a handful of rice in turn, dips it in the curry,
and conveys it to his mouth without spilling
a crumb. To do this gracefully is the height
of Malay table etiquette After all have fin
ished the betel box makes its appearance and
is handed round. Each person takes one of
the sirih leaves, which are five inches long
and arrow shaped, and lays it out fat on the
palm of the left hand Then he takes little
betel nut, puts some of the lime upon it, adds
a small quantity of tobacco, and then rolls
the whole up together. Then he places it in
his mouth, holding it by his front teeth,
never chewing it by his side teeth as Ameri-
cans do tobacco. Then you may want to
hire him, or to transact some business with
him ever so badly, but he won't stir. He
will simply say: II have no time for it, mas
teT. am chewing the sirih."

Chimney Smoke.

~ query liable to arise in the minds Of
thinking boys and girls is, what causes the
smoke of a fire to rise in the chimneyl" 1t is
due to the pressure Of the colder and heavier
outside air upon the warmer and lighter air
il the chimney. The equilibrium being thus
uneven, a constant current Of air passes
through the fire and up the chimney. If the
temperature Of the outside air and that in
the chimney was the same, there would be no
current or ''draught."

EnClisll Words.

Shakespeare, who is considered rather Won

about $1,000 words; Milton had one of about
5000 words. The average learned man has a
vocabulary considerably smaller than Mil

can get along with 5000 or 1000, and the
man who doesn't do much of any thinking
can get along with about ZOO words.
