HOW SAVAGES EAT.

Curious Customs of Semi-Civilized and
Barbarous Peoples.
In all thoroughly civilized countries
the members of a family and their
guests partal1e of meals while collected
around a central board, but this is not
so with the ma jority or even a fraction
of the semi-civilized and barbarous ma
tions. The Maldivian Islanders dine
alone, retiring to the most secret parts
of their huts for the purpose of eating
their food. This custom probably arose
among them in an early period in their
history, for fear, perhaps, that another
with equally as sharp an appetite and
more bodily strength would deprive the
feaster of his meal.
The coasters of the FIJI Islands will
not eat until they can sit fat upon the
ground directly over a triangle made of
three small fish bones; then they only
handle the food with the left hand
The inhabitants of the interior of the
same ISLANDS will not partal1e of food
while q cloud is in sight, especially if
the cloud lies in the west, fearing that
the @1Great Air Whale" whose below
ing {t1rl1ader) is often heard in that
WILL pOuHCC upon duu llGCor1V
annihilate them for such irreverence.
Unlike the Maldivians, the natives of
the Philippines are sociable to an extra
ordinary degree. Whenever one of
them finds himself without a companion
to partake of his meal he runs till he
meets With one; and I am assured that
however keen his own appetite may be
he will not venture to satisfy it without
companion.
The natives Of Sakaria never partake
OF food while on the ground, but sling
the meal into woven grass bag and
mount to the thick foliage at the top of
some high tree, where the meal is eaten
In solitary silence.
The Otaheiteans, although great low
ers Of society and very gentle in their
manners, feed separately from each
other, each particular member of the
family taking his or her basket and
turning with back to all others in the
room.
The Dyaks divide in pairs when the
hour arrives for taking food; the father
and mother at one platter, two sisters
at one and still two brothers at an
other When the family is not equally
divided as to Sex brother and sister
may eat together, but this must always
be the youngest and Oldest of the fam
ily.-St Louis Republic.

Pacific empire of the Union; no other
was so far removed from the great CEN
ters of population, and no other State,
despite that fact, had such wonderful
growth and development in so brief q
time.
Here American civilization rolled up
against the western limit of the conti-
nent like a mighty wave against i'm
passable cliffs. Here came the picked
and chosen and hewed the foundations
for an empire Of wealth, and State that
in every phase of its existence has been
to the Union loyal, helpful and pride.
The commemoration of the anniversary
date of the birth of such State as Cali
fornia well engages the attention and
activity of our people. Whether they
observe it only in social recreation, or
merely rest from business, or march in
snowy parade with the Native Sons, they
pay tribute to loyal sentiment; not one
of State pride alone, but one that recog-
nizes California's grandeur and chief
source Of pride to he in her position as
one ofa galaxy of sovereign States form
ing an indissoluble union.

JUDGE SAWYER.

The death of Judge Lorenzo Sawyer, of
the United States Circuit Court at San
francisco, removes from this stage of
action one of the most eminent iurists
this coast has ever given to the nation
It has been our fortune to know Judge
Sawyer, as one can be known upon the
bench, for many years. In common with
the mass of the people, we can bear testi-
mony, as the result of our observation,
that the judicial seat has not been graced
by more upright and conscientious
Judge. More brilliant men have filed
such positions, but none better qualified
by head and heart to dispense justice
His mind was cast in judicial mold; he
was born to be Judge; and while he was
an able lawyer, the true metal in the man
was not discovered until he took his seat
upon the bench of the Twelfth Judicial
stepped to the Federal seat, in which he
died. In his calling he was one of the
most painstaking. wholly-devoted men
that the country has developed. His in
dustrious habit has scarcely been paral-
leled. What he lacked in brilIiancy, wit
and finish, he atoned for by his pres
cience, his unhagging industry and his
wonderful capacity for research and his
clearness of judicial vision He was
broad-minded, kindly-natured, firm of
purpose, and Of unquestioned integrity,
and his good citizenship was a model.

ADMISSION DAY.

1t is unfortunate that Labor Day and
Admission Day come in the same week.
AS there is no other State that celebrates
the day of its admission into the Union,
as does this, it ought to move California
labor organizations to prevail upon the
proper authority TO set forward or back
ward the Labor Day date, by a week or
so.
California has especially strong reasons
for observing Admission Day with some
ceremonial and by cessation of business.
Upon her admission hinged great ques-
ton of freedom, of the extension of slave
territory, of the perpetuatiou of the slave
power. But aside from political ques-
tione she was the pioneer State In the
