cricket balls. The stones are ground till they are rounded. This work is performed by the native women, who are experts at the trade, and who may be seen at work at all hours. Some boIas balls are of iron, but those valued most are Of copper. The latter are smaller than stone balls, and are more to be desired, as they experience less resistance from the air.
 The thong is about nine feet in length, and is made of two pieces of ra hide, which are dampened and then twisted together. There are generally three of these thongs, and at the end of each is ball done up in cover of guanaco hide, not unlike our base balls. Usually one of the thongs are shorter than the others, so that when the three lines are Gaasped at their point of juncture one ball hangs less far down than its mates.
 Such is the native weapon of the tall Patagonians. Now, how do they use it? Generally the hunter carries it twisted round his waist like the sash of an officer, the balls dangling at his side like the tassel of sash. The Patago- nian is usually mounted. like our Comanche Indian, and seeks his game from the saddle.
 When he sees his game and give his horse the rein he unwinds the bolas by single twist of the delft hand and grasps the thongs at the point of union. Away go the hunter and his game, sometimes the fleet ostrich, at other times the equally swift guanaco.
 Not movement of the game does the Patagonian miss. He bears down st ,.1 ready bolas in lis hand. When he comes within hurling distance he wbirls the novel weapon over his head till it has gathered enough centrifugal force to separate the balls, when he whirling madly in their flight reach and twist round the unfortunate victim and speedily bring 1t down.
 The choking powers of the bolas rem der It the most dangerous of all weapons used by savage nations. The balls draw the thongs tighter all the time, and, once struck, there is no escape for he victim
 The skill of Patagonian bolas throw CTS is marvellous. The weapon is as unerring as the arrow and just as dead lv. Experts can fasten a rider to his horse with the holas, or bring down both man and beast with a single weapon, The object is always to throw the bolas so that the thougs, not the balls, will strike the target almed at; the flying balls do the rest-complete tLe victory. as 1t were.
 In no other country is the bolas used, and the Patagonian enjoys the distinc- ton of possessing a weapon distinctly national in it's character and even mora terrible than the boomerang

A Woman Engineer.

Chicago has woman engineer. Not a woman who engineers spring bon nets and seal skin sacques out of her husbands pockets. Not a woman who engineers church sociables or progressive euchre parties, nor one who has served her apprenticeship as 8 fireman to Cupid, but genuine mistress of those complicated iron machines that run laundries and street cars and blow up hotels. While some of her sisters have been screaming for their rights and bemoaning the re- strictions of their sphere; this woman has been filling her pockets with mon- ey by doing mans work.

TAMASESE, WHO SOUGHT TO
 RULE SAMOA.
John q. Klein Relates a Few EemIn- iscences-An Invetcrate EIater Of Americans and Their FIag-tsood Prices for Two Human Heads.

Recent naval advices from Auck- land, New Zealand, brought news of the death of Tamasese, the would be King and pretender to the throne of Samoa.
 1t was my privilege and good for tune 10 be actively engaged wi tn others m operations against Tamasese and his rebel army in Samoa in the fali Of lSSS and spring of 1889, while acting in the capacity of a correspond ent Tn that Tar distant country, writes John C. Klein in the New York World It will be remembered that immediate- " after the dethronemert of Malietoa Daupepa, the King of Samoa, by German naval force. because of mythical oifense, and his deportation to the Cameroon islands. on the west coast of Africa. the German forces set up Tamasese as his successor, knowing him to be scamp who would be a plable tool in their hands and puppet who would move as they might pull the strings
 He had not the shadow of a claim to the throne, not being q member of the royal family by blood connection or in any other way.
 When Malietoa Laupepa was kid mapped, vletually, from Samoa, Ma taafa. who has been we'll termed by American residents the George Wash ington of Samoa,' was chosen to suc- ceed him. Mataafa received the strongest moral and practical support of American and English residents; but his ascendancv to the throne, backed by the popular will of two-thirds of the native population, was iu direct opposition to the plans made by the Germans. The armies of Mataafa and of Tamasese therefore went to war the former having about 5000 fighting men, armed with breech- loading rifles. but suffering from a scarcity of ammunition, while the rebel forces numbering 1000, also had repeating rifles, some of the insurgents having two guns each. Of ammunition they possessed an almost inexhaustible supply, furnished by the

Beauty, Not Brains,

A wife whose husband has bulging brain and a homely face used to try to. make things pleasant at home by ex- pressing her admiration of his talents andgiving him the pet name of Brains. Her delicate flattery did not seem to have much influence upon him, though she kept it up for a whole year after their marriage. One time, not long ago, when she was in a happy frame, or melting mood, or meditative state, she expressed her admiration of his comedy countenance, and at last went as far as to say she would give him the pet name oi Beauty" He smiled as she repeated the word with a full consciousness that she had touched his weak point. And now, whatever be his mood of mind or the vicissitudes of life, that word dispels all other thought and the twain are happy From the Chicago Journal.

Just the Very Thing,

A dutiful husband wished to give his wife handsome lace scarf for a present and, to make sure of getting one to her liking, he asked her to buy one herself on the pretense that it was for lady friend of theirs, says the Grand Almanach Francais. The finest Honiton Valenciennes and Brussels lace goods were spread out onthe counter but madame thought to herself
 What is the use of spending SO much money on apresent for Amelie?"
 Some embroidered lace was shown next Even these were too dear. At length she selected a very plain and ordinary scarf.
 Quite good enough, too," she thought, and took 1t home to her husband.

THE LATE REBEL CHIEF TAMAsEsE.

German warships and the German mer- chants of Apia.
 In November. 1888, Tamasese's s army, then encamped near Mullnun Point, close to Apia, after having com mltted outraSes on the property of American citizens living in the vicinity, footing their houses and loudly eX- pressing contempt of the American flag and the United States Government generally, was forced to retreat from it's position, largely because of the un- mistakable note of warning sent to Tamasese by gallant Capt. Richard F. Leary, commanding he United States man n-of-war Adams who notified him that the rebel forces were partly oc- cupying territory owned by an Ameri- can citizen, and that n view of the outrages committed on Americans and their property 1t would be healthier for the renel forces to leave the Im- mediate vicinity forthwith Tamasese took the hint and moved with his army to the village of Lautu-Ann six miles up the coast from Apia.
 Mataata's army followed the rebels closely, the King locating his head quarters on the seashore near the mid. de Of the crescent formed bv the bay. His army occupied lines extending back in the mounlains about SIX miles and opposing the rebel lines. Much of the hard lighting occurred In the im- mediate vicinity of Mataafa's head quarters, and being an occupant of the Kings house for several mouths was m eyewitness. if nothing more, of many hard fights and skirmishes, Mataata, with the heart of lion. per- sonally directed his troops in several of the more important fights, but Tanasese, whose courage was not particularly great. contented himself with staying in his house, safe within his fortress, during the conflicts, deputing the immediate com mand of the rebel troops to thelr chief Suatele, who at least had the saving quality of courage. This was particularly the case of the battle of Lautu-Annu, fought early in No- veml CT. when Mataafa's forces at tackled the fort. Over one hun dred men were killed in this fight. the heads of sixty being cut oil by the opposing forces.
 While Tamasese Was physical cow ard, he likewise possessed poor business judgment. In proof ol this it may be mentioned that on iearninE that was engaged in giving all possible aid to Mataafas cause, lie announced that a good pr ce would be paid for my head delivered to him without tho body. That such an offer on the part of Tamasese exhibited his willingness to enter into poor bargain l am willing To admit, out after all. honors were easy. for 1t was tacitly understood by the soldiers Of the loyal army that if the head of Herr Brandeis, a German adventarer who acted as adviser to Tamasese. and who was largely respon- slble for the existing row. should Tn some mysterious way become severed from hts body, then the person per forming such surgical operation would not be a financial loser thereby, But neither Brandeis nor 1 had our heads amputated, so that's another story.

A BIII.FONAYRR FAMILY.
THE MOUNTAIN Or WEALTH
 OF THE ROTHSCHILDS.
0egSvding as Mere Nothing the
 Loss or s25. 5.OOO,OOO-Founder Of the Family and His Five Remarkable
 Sons-A Fortune Of s1,OOO,OOO,OOO.

A few weeks ago the entire world was startled by the news that Gustave Rothschild had lost S25, ,000, 900 in vari- ous speculative ventures and that he had even attempted suicide in the pres- ence of his misfortune: but the loss Of those millions made no more lnroad in the colossal fortunes of the grand old house of the brethren of the red shield than the loss of as many hundreds would be likely to make on the wealth of n Vanderbilt or . Jay Gould.
 No one knows, 1t is true, how much the Rothschld fortune is exactly, but 1t is safe to say that it exceeds S1,- O00, ,000, ,0o0 In times of severe panic and trial it. magnificent solidlty has been proudly pointed to as one of the most enduring monuments of human prohity and industry.
 In the great storm of 1857. when, for a few days. George Peabody's credit was gone; when Barring Brothers were anxionsly surveying the wreckuge all around them: when hundred leading mercantile and banking firms of Lon don were scudding under bare poles, the Rothschlds alone showed no dis tress. They did just as much during the panic us loan contractors, dealers in bullion, stock purchasers, sellers of securities as ever before.
 Even when the Bank of England had to cry to the government for help, they swept on uudsmayed. Losses do not seem to affect them. In ISIS they lost $40. GOO GOO at one swoop. In 1870, at the time of the Franco German war. they lost as much more.
 In the city of Frankfort there is a
