We saw to windward a native boat
bearing down upon us under full stress
of sail A Fijian boat is made of a hol-
lowed cocoanut log, sharpened at both
ends. About ten feet on one side of it
is placed long and slender log of lighter
wood, both parts of the craft being at
once connected by and supporting a
raised platform of bamboo Such a
boat floats on the water like cork, and
offers no more resistance than racing
shell. A mast set in the center of the
platform supports a triangular sail OF
mating, with the base of the figure up
most. A very top heavy effect is thus
produced, but nothing can oyerturn the
light vessel owing to the breadth of it's
base, and it flies through the water like
the wind.

and sent showers of spray over the glis-

When the boat was near us our launch

clustered palms cut off the wind, and the

a PICTURE IN Frost TIVE.

A window, with wide panes emhayed
And half moon seat of old gold cloth,
Looks forth to where the trees are swayed
By winds whose breath is chill and wTotA.
And on the glass a fiimy veil
Extends, as IL to shield the bloom
That mods in greeting to the gale
From midst the warm and CHEEKY room
Roses and lilies, hothouse pinks
And pansies that no garden dew
B'er wet, and ferns whose fragile links
No woodland pool with shade did strew.
And showing multi-colored tints,
Full clusters of chrysanthemums
Flash back the roseate flame that glints
Where costly the hearth log huns.
While near at hand sits one who reads
The pages of a book of art,
And naught outdoors or indoors heeds,
Lost in some spirit realms fair mart.

Two tribes of Indians in the upper
part of California had as boundary be-
tween their districts a low ridge where
the streams headed Ifyou should go to
where one of these streams, Potter river
rises you would see still standing a tall
pile of stones beside a never failing
spring. On one side of this cairn was the
territory of the Pomo Indians, and on the
other the land of the Chumaia These
tribes were enemies, and were often at
war. When the Chumaia wished to
challenge the others to battle they took
three little sticks, cut notches round
their ends and in the middle, tied them
at the ends into faggot and laid it on
this cairn. If the Pomos accepted the
challenge they tied a string around the
middle of the three sticks and left them
IN their place Then agents of both
tribes met on neutral ground and ar
ranged the time and place of battle
which took place accordingly. Mich
