SAMOAN CUSTOMS.
How Brides Are Won, Houses Built and
Graves Marked.

How Brides Are Won, Houses Built aud
Graves Marked.
Lieutenant Charles ii. Ripley, in a
talk on Samoa, gave most interest
ing account of the marriage customs
Of the Samoans. After ascertaining
the amount OF dewFy the maiden is
carried off by a party ofsthe friends Of
the groom, who never marries in his
own village The natives vie with
each other in collecting bottles, which
are great rarity in that country, and
are used after death to encircle the
graves. which are level with the
ground, two or three rows OF bottles
indicating superiority. The beverage
of the Sameahs and the process OF
manufacture is more curious than in
viting. A substance resembling liq-
uorice is chewed by girls until it be-
comes soft and PUPPY, when it IL
mixed with water, and must be used
soon after being prepared. II too
much is taken slight paralysis OF the
limbs follows, but soon passes of. 1t
is used largely at entertainments. and
people who indulge in. it properly
seem to be benefited. The occupatio..
OF the people comes down from gener-
alton to generation. The son OF a
carpenter can not be anything but a
carpenter, and no other family can
follow that occupation. The process
OF house-building was described. A
man needs new house. talks with
his relatives, sounds them as to
whether they think he needs one
and will be likely to contribute. visits
the house-builder with many compli-
ments upon the fine houses he hears
he builds, and leaves a present. AT
ter a time he repeats his visit Later
relative goes with a present and sim
liar compliments. and SO on until al
last the builder signifies his intention
OF building the man house and sends
word he is coming. A house is put al
his disposal in the village, his ex-
penses are met by the man for whom
the house is to be built, and when the
house is finished the relatives assem-
BILE and presents are given to the
householder. Very little money is
exchanged. Although gentle peo-
pie, in war the Samoans are quite bar
barous. going over the field and cut
ting off the heads of the wounded af-
ter n battle. The enemies show great
consideration for each other in arrang-
ing for a battle, sending word that il
perfectly convenient one will meet
the other with SO many men at such a
place at such time. never varying
from the number of mon agreed upon.

Reliable Antidote for Ants.

tried several methods to prevent
ants melesting bees and found the fol.
lowing far the most satisfactory: By
the use OF crow bar make hole in the
center OF the amt hill down to tho bot
tom, which is easily found by the moro
open or less compact earth. Then
turn into this hole a gill OF bisulphide
OF carbon, and fill an crowd down
with earth. As the liquid Is very vol
=atile and can not p IS out Of the now
compactly filed hole, it quickly eyap-
crates and kills all the ants. II clay

the hole. a. IL is more impervious than
sand. thodgh by firmly pressing with
the foot the sand can be made to hold
the liquid. Kerosene may be used in

effective. So. too. of carbolic acid.
BY mean Of strip. SO covered by
gauze that bees are excluded. the ants

AIDS TO EDUCATION.


In Ohio School Masters Method of Teach
ing English Grammar.
While tho leading educators of Dis
trict No. Az FSedgwick County, Kan.
are engaged In ain earnest effort to
bring their school to n higher point Of
efficiency by the use OF the slow match
and shotgun, some other parts OF the
country are not idle. jackson town
ship, Hancock County, o., has been
heard from. The problem which the
Ohio instructor of youth located there
has been at werl1sf on is that@of COM
pulsory education. This subject is
one which, as we all know, is far from
being settled satisfactorily. Laws are
passed that all children must attend
school. but even II they can be en-
forced, it does not follow that all chill
dren will study their, lessons diligent-
ly and be able to make showing sat
isfactory to the conscientious and
painstaking Ateacher. To accomplish
this end has been left for the Ohio In
structor referred to. The advanced
grammar class was on the floor and he
called on one OF the boys to explain
the exact relation which tho participle
sustained to the various parts of
speech. The slothful but unsuspect-
ing youth was free to admit that he
could not do So On hearing this la
inevitable confession the jackson town
ship educator drew slung-shot from
his sleeve and strucksthe misguided
young man couple OF light blows.
With the slow match, the shotgun and
the slung-shot we'll established among
our educational Appliances A meriea
may well make a new boast OF her
great public school system.
What measure OF popularity the
common leather and lead slung-shot
may obtain as means for impressing
English grammar upon the tickle mind
OF youth it is too early yet to say. 1t
certainly does not look encouraging
for it, when we learnin the course OF
the dispatch bringing the intelligence
OF the whole affair that its first user
has had his license to teach revoked
by an unsympathetic board OF exaniin-
ers TO whom the beauties OF the slung-
shot are as sealed book. But its
promoter, Mr.. John Walters, has many
things to console him as he sees an Or
binary teacher .installed in his place.
Calico heard as good men as reside IL
jackson township ridicule his tele-
scope. John Walters may yet live to
conduct a grammar publishing house
and announce prominently In his adj
vertisements fine slung-shot with
every volume.
Mr.. Walters ideas on educational
subjects are what may properly be
called advanced. He thinks that the
teacher should not only be able to
offer the pupil instruction, but also bef
