An Odd Way of Saving the Hair.

Among the Sakkaras the women twist
their hair into flat braids, which are lit
orally covered with cowry shells or
beads, and the ends are then gathered
above the head, forming sort of bon
net. The whole is drenched literally
with palm oil and sprinkled with red
powder. At night the women go 10 sleep
with their necks resting in concavity
that has been dug out of small log,
thus keeping their headwear from touch
ing anything and thereby being disar-
ranged. Sometimes this uncomfortable
pillow is followed out. the top of it be
ing a lid, which when lifted off discloses
a receptacle in which are kept the hair
pins and other objects of the toilet

Great Men and some Queer Repugnanees


A great deal has recently been said
upon the discompOsure of our command
or in chief ia Malta at the presence of
a cat. This Is no novelty, for some of
the bravest and most distinguished men
the world has ever seen have entertained
a similar antipathy. The Emperor
Ferdinand would bleed at the nose if he
heard cat new. Henry III of France
and the Duke of Schomberg had similar
weaknesses. This dislike to the gentlest
and most domestic Of animals is unac-
Countable. But there have been much
stronger aYeTsions. Erasmus, though
he lived at Rotterdam, was thrown into
a fever if he slneit fish. Joseph Scalgar
had perfect horror for milk.
Car,lan grew sick at the sight of eggs,
however fresh. Uladislaus, king Of
Poland. was similarly affected if he saw
an apple. Boyle could not listen to the
sound OF water running through q pipe;
his house was probably unprovided with
the newest improvements. La Mothe
de Nayer could not endure music,
though "he took the iveliest pleasure in
thunder. John Rol. Of Alcantara.

the big hotels at Lake Minnetonka in 20
minutes, and these, together with St. Paul,
which is no further off and ia reached at q
10-cent fare by electric and steam cars, can
accommodate 25,0 900 more. We have al
ready gotten accommodations for something
like 10, 600 who have applied, and our abil-
lty to feed the crowd is beyond question.
We make, for instance, $4,000 barrels OF
Hour day at our mills here, and this would
make enough bread to feed New York and
Brooklyn and leave some thousands of bar
rels over for cakes and pies. We have big
meat packing establishments here, and you
can get anything to eat in Minneapolis that
you can get at any place in the United
States"
There will be great many newspaper
correspondents at the convention, and all
the big papers of the United States have ar
ranged for quarters. The accommodations
In this respect will be better than at any
previous convention, and more than 250 of
working journalists have already applied for
quarters. The Chairman of the Press Commit

Secretary is j. Newton Mind, one of the

leries up against the wall
The hall is perfectly ventilated and thor
oughly lighted. There is glass roof OF
about an acre directly over the delegates, and
this can be raised here and there. The
lighting is an important matter. for it will
be remembered at the convention that nomi-
mated Hayes some trouble arose with the gas,
which prevented the convention from meet
ing at night, and thereby brought about
Hayes nomination. The situation was such
that Blaine would have surely been nomi.

me not long ago that it was the failure OF
the gas that made Hayes President of the
United States 1t is not generally known,
but this failure was not accidental, but in
tentional, and the man who was in charge OF
the hall made misstatement in regard to
the situation.
It's Lighted by Electricity.
There is no chance of such thing hap
penlng at Minneapolis. This hall is lighted
by electricity, and there are more than 1, 200
incandescent lights and 150 arc lights in the
convention building. In addition to this
the hall and building are equipped with gas,
so that if one thing fails the other can be
turned on, and there can be no fraud about
the lights. The building is thoroughly fire
proof, and the exits are such that it could
be emptied in six minutes if a fire should
break out There are % staircases leading
to the galleries, and about the only wood
work in the building is that which has been
put up to make it available for the conven-
tion.
The construction of this building will
give you some idea of how they manage
things in the Northwest. 1t cost 1926, 900,
and it Is one of the largest and most per-
manent exposition buildings in the world.
1t is thoroughly solid and q large part of
the interior and the floor beams are of iron.
The floors are three inches thick and there
are three sets of floors. There are alto
gether about seven acres of floor space in
the building. and 1t is, all told, a structure
which in Washington or New York would
consume from six months to two years in
building.

tiona The building itself is worth notice
1t covers nearly three acres of ground, and
has within half an acre base area equal to
that of the Capitol at Washington. 1t is
built of brick and stone, and it's walls are
from two to four feet thick. You must i'm

roof and from its towers You must drape

dows and on the wooden stairways leading

Room for Twelve Thousand People.
The interior arrangements are now about
completed. The hall proper is on the Sec
ond floor, and it consists of full acre of
space built up inside the building and en-
tered by about two-score entrances. This
hall is in the form of square with seats
acre, backward on the four sides until they
reach the wall. Above these seats there is
a wide gallery which also slopes upward
with its seats in tiers, so that the view of
every man in the hall cannot be obstructed
by the people in front OF him. The hall will
seat about 1900 people.
The seats are wooden chairs arranged in
sections and numbered These chairs are
nailed to boards, and there is about three
feet of space allowed to each spectator The
acre of space in the center is for the dele
gates and this is seated with opera chairs,
and in the orchestra circle, back of these,
are seats for the alternates. Around the
space reserved for the delegates is little
wooden fence three feet high, and directly
in front OF the delegates there is a rostrum
Of the same height extending out in the
middle perhaps six feet into the delegates
space. Upon this arm Of the rostrum the
nominating speeches will be made. and di-
rectly back of it will be the seat of the
President of the convention. At the right
and left are the quarters for the working
newspaper men. There are enough of seats
to accommodate about 300 The newspaper
men will write on poplar tables, and each
man will have plenty of room.
Wonderful Acoustic Properties.
There will be pneumatic tubes connecting
with these tables by which the dispatches
can be shot down into the telegraph offices
and the telegraph arrangements are already
in. The acoustic properties of this hall are
perfect. 1t was here that the great Chris
tian Endeavor Convention of year or so
ago was held, and large number of tine
speakers at this convention were girls who
read their reports in an ordinary tone of
voice and were heard in every part of the
hall. At my request Mr.. Evans, the Ma
tional committeeman, spoke standing from
the rostrum in an ordinary conversational

ing is within ten minutes walk of the con-
ventioh hall, and it is easily accessible by
street cars. 1t is one of the many fine
buildings of Minneapolis, and it would be a
credit to any city in the country. 1t is'an
History structure of granite and pressed
brick, and it covers nearly one-half an acre
of ground. Its roof is higher than the spire
of the average country church, and it cost
about 81 ZOO, 900. In its porticoes are the
largest blocks of stone used in any building
in America, and the 200 odd rooms which
are to be given up to the correspondents
are finished in cherry and are reached by
four passenger elevators. Each of these
rooms will be supplied with beds and tables
and all conveniences tor writing, and in no
room will there be more than two beds or
four men. Some of the newspaper men will
have rooms to themselves, and the prices
have been fixed according to the number in
a room. The price of room with one bed
for one person will be 81; less, if two
occupy a room with one bed in it, and still
less if there are four in room with two

CHAPTER XII.
AMONG THE KANAKAS,


For several days after the death of our
third mate we were busy cleaning the ship.
We usually scrubbed the decks at daylight
and finished all necessary work before the
sun was high. For several hours in the
middle of the day we performed no labor,
on account of the intense heat, and we i'm
proved the time to lay in a supply Of lime
Juice for use in other latitudes. Lines are
to be had in abundance, and each man filled
every available receptacle with lime juice,
which is certain protection from scurvy,
besides being pleasant to drink with water
as beverage.
One day q number of the natives were in
the steerage. I had given my ''fem" an
old cap, which delighted him beyond meas
ure, although more useless present could
not have been made, as they use no head
covering on the hottest days. As we
were seated around the steerage on chests
and inverted buckets, while natives sat
cross-legged on the floor. performed q
simple sleight-of-hand trick, thinking to
amuse and mystify them.
The mystiication was complete, but in
stead of deriving any amusement therefrom
they rushed on deck to man, shouting:
"Covey-coyeyl loo much devil !?
1t required all my powers of persuasion
to induce them to come near me until at
last was forced to explain nv trick to
them, and even then they looked upon me
with distrust for long time.
On the first day had liberty ashore my
"hem," whose name found was Manassa,
met me on the beach and escorted me to his
hut. where he entertained me in a most hos
pitable manner. He placed before me
chicken, eggs and the choicest fruits the
island afforded, and tried in every way to
testify his delight at my visit and his de-
sire to place his earthly possessions at my
disposal.
1t was on this occasion I first saw Kan
aka ascend cocoanut tree. I expressed q
desire for green cocoanut, which in their
language is called "neo," and my host de-
liberately walked to the foot of a tall tree
without limb for at least 30 feet, and
placing his hands and the soles of his feet
on either side of the tree walked, rather
than climbed, to the top without any ap-
parent distress tried 1t. I will only say
that 1 failed signally, to the enjoyment of
the natives present
The green nuts are not harder than q
pumpkin, and it is only necessary to pierce
the outer fiber with any sharp substance and
most delicious drink is readily obtained.
There are no springs on this island and all
the fresh water Is obtained during rains,
when it is saved in huge hollow logs. The
