Soap Is Not Good TO Eat.
ran The Year Roupdl

Like all primitive peoples. the Maories
are very inquisitive and. in the manner of
children, are inclined 10 bring everything
to their mouths to test its qualities. In
the early days party of Maories came
across some bars of soap which had been
washed ashore from wreck. Finding
that the stuff was too sticky TO be eaten
raw, they resolved to cook it.
Accordingly they cut it into small pieces
and sprinkeG these pieces over the sweet
potatoes and fish, which formed their
evening meal. Finally they covered the
whole mass over with fern leaves and
mats and, putting earth on the top, left
everything to bake quietly in the ovens
till the evening.
The scene at that evening meal must
have been very funny. Not only did the
tribe have to go supperless to bed. but the
whole set OF ovens was spoilt, and new
ones had to be constructed before any fur
Their cooking could be done.

from the scene of the explosion. Moses
Tucker was found 150 feet away from the
mill. Other bodies were found from $50
to 200 feet away. The terrible scenes of
grief and anguish duplicate those of
irightful mine accidents.
The iron frame work of the Erie &
Wyoming railroad near the scene used a
spark screen, was torn and twisted like
paper. Tue absolute desolation of the
scene can not be pictured in words. The
last explosion of these mills was eighteen
years ago when several men we're also
killed. The loss will reach $4,000.

will not be dictated to by US negroes,
leave the party and go with the dem

say that we cannot favor a certain
thing without consulting Sambo? L
