SAMOAN CUSTOMS.

For boiling the liquid OF article of food
is placed in wooden bowl and hot stones
dropped in.
ANY mistake in recognizing rank and
condition ut a partyis sure to result in bit
ter feelings and jealousy.
In Samoa no visitor is allowed to enter a
house without being offered food and
drink, or an apology if it cannot be fur
nished.
The correct thing to do on entering a ma
tive house is TO sit down. BY no means
should you stand; that is very impolite
and insulting 70 your hosts.
Matrimonial matches in Samoa are made
in the family, and the daughter has no
voice in choosing a husband. Unhesitat-
ingly she obeys the family wishes and ac-
cepts the inevitable.
On grand occasions great dinners are
served to celebrate some event, immense
quantities Of food are accumulated, and as
high as from forty to a hundred pigs are
cooked at one time.
Communism is at home in every sense of
the word They cannot say mo-" and any
one with a smooth tongue can always pro-
cure what be needs if any Of his friends
possess it--a book, horse, food, pigs or
what not.
The bride and her family come to the
marriage ceremony with plenty Of fine
mats as presents. while the bridegroom and
his family make presents of pigs and food
Of all kinds, and the occasion is turned
into great feast.
The males are all. with hardly an excep-
tiOn, tattooed from just above the waist
down TO the knees. No male is considered
a man, or entitled to any privileges, and is
ridiculed by both sexes till the operation
has been performed.
Nothing is worn on the upper part of the
body. except in some instances a garment
called a 'tiputa'-a long, narrow strip of
cloth with "a hole in the center for the
head. One end hangs down to the knees,
the other down the back.
The ordinary style of dress for both male
and female : called a "laya-lava" Ii con-
sistS of a strip of cloth OF caudy color and
pattern wrapped about the waist. the end
is brought around 10 the front and tucked
in in such a manner as to fasten it.
The Samoans are very fond Of children.
but vet no real affection or strength Of
family Tie exists. The main idea is to gain
strength in mum bers and become great
family by making connections with out
siders, both by marriage and adoption.
Ifany one urges them to provide for the
future they VIII say, Tomorrow Who
knows If l may live Jil tomorrow? may
not need anything tomorrow" Truly the
motto, Sufficient for the day is the evil
thereof" might well be hung in their
houses.

About twenty-five years ago." said an
old attendant in the Washington market,
several men made fortunes at catching
frogs and sending them TO market. The
hind legs were cut off, skinned, washed,
and, after being mildly salted, were sent
away in barrels. Prices used to range from
fifty to seventy-five cents for dozen pairs
of legs, and, as sales were quick, there was
a pile of money in the occupation.
'One old fellow, a blacksmith by the
name of Weld, down in Greeubush, Me-,
supplied all of New England for years.
He lived by the side of very extensive
swamps that were filled with wigglers and
cattails. The former furnished food for
the frogs. while the latter gave them shade.
! have seen bullfrog legs that were nearly
rs big as the legs of chicken.
"Old man Weld used to hire boys to kill
the frogs for him, giving them five or six
cents a dozen. The frogs were so plenty
that many of the children earned good
wages, even at that small price. Weld
dressed the frogs, corned them and shipped
them to Boston in barrels like herrings.
He kept up the business for years, and
though he slew hundreds of thousands
every year the supply did not diminish at
all
by and by the prices went away down.
and as the old man had cleared about $780,
600 out of the scheme he retired, built him
self a fine mansion and lived at his ease.
He is the only man / know of who got rich
by catching frogs, but have heard of sew
eral others. "-BostCn Globe
