THE SOLOMON ISLANDS.
Home of Caunibals aud Head Hunters I
the southern Pacific.

Home OF Caunibals aud Head Hunters In
the southern Pacific.
The Solomon group of islands, re-
GENTLY annexed by England, is the larg-
est and as yet least known of any in the
Pacific Ocean, though among the very
first to be discovered. There are seven
or eight large, mountainous islands
varying in length from seventy to one
hundred miles, and a great number of
smaller islands, ranging from fifteen
to twenty miles in length, down to the
tiny coral islet only half mile across.
The Solomon Islanders are of mixed
race, varying between an almost pure
Malay type and the darker-skinned
Polynesian. Though they are almost
universally cannibals, they stand in
other respects by no means low in the
scale of savages. The men are, as a
rule, tall and well formed, and the
women, in their youth, are handsome
and attractive, though the drudgery
which falls to their lot soon ages and
hardens their looks Indeed, the con-
dition of women among them, as in
most savage races, is one of absolute
subsection. The wife is the household
slave. She is completely in the power
of her husband for life or death. II
goods be stolen from the house she 10
responsible to her lord in the first case,
not the thief. Wives are bought and
sold just like other commodities and
among the wealthy chiefs polygamy is
freely practiced.
1t was on one of these islands that
Mr.. Bates an English yachtsman, land
ed from his vessel and started into the
woods lie never came back. A small
party vainly searched for him, and for
years trade goods landed on the island
were done up in wrappers, on which
were printed the words: Bates we are
looking for you" 1t was also on one
of the solomon group that an unfortu-
nate Italian was kept as slave for
number of years, until he finally got
chance to escape to New Britain, where
at last accounts he was living among
the natives, his mind almost wholly
destroyed by his sufferings of earlier
years,
Head-hunting is still carried on to
some extent in connection with canni-
pdllStu, out muCn more from Ine SIM
pie desire of the chiefs to accumulate
skulls as token of power or of prowess.
1t has also sacrificial aspect in case
of the death of a chief head must he
provided, and the launching of new
war canoe or the completion of bam-
boo house must be signalized in the
same way. Within the radius of the
head-hunting forays no nation can be
said to enjoy security of life for sim
gle day. The custom is now carried on
less openly than of old.
Every chief has his butcher, who isan
important member of his court. When
captive is taken in war he is handed
over to this official and promptly de-
spatched. The body is then cut up and
the joints are hung upon a tree re-
served for that purpose in the village,
and the people are invited to come and
buy. Philadelphia Telegraph.

The Longest Leap on Record,

The Arabian is unquestionably good
as goer; but in a country where there
is neither fence, hedge, ditch, nor other
division of the fields, one can scarcely
expect horse to jump. There is, how
ever, a jump recorded to have been
taken by one Ragh-Ap Tor Amin Bey)
at the time of the massacre of the
Mamelukes, which in these days of
prize jumping is certainly worth a no.
tice, whether credited or not. In order
to escape from the massacre this man
headed his Arabian for the edge of the
cliff. where now stands the citadel of
Cairo. The noble animal never paused,
but, conscious of his masters peril,
took the leap, most prodigious one
and landed-the fact is well authenti-
Gated by the footprints in the stone
shown by pious and horse-loving Mos
lens to-day-eighty feet below and
something over quarter of mile dis
tant. What, after that, becomes of our
paltry seven feet three of horse show

A formal luncheon party in the SUM-

ties is trying thing for both hostess
and guests, but there are times when
circumstances force such entertain
ments into existence. Then it becomes
an art to suggest in all possible ways
thoughts of GOODNESS. The dining-room
should be kept as dark as possible all
the morning before, and any glare Of
sunlight should be carefully shut out
even during the luncheon, though no
artificial light should be used Iced
bouillon or delicious little melons or
oranges filled with water ices form

hot dishes rs possible should be served

fully cool decoration in the floral way
A long. low rectangular pan placed in
the middle of the table should hold a
block of ice somewhat smaller than
the pan, but about six or seven inches
In height. The center of the ice having
been previously followed out three
inches in depth by the aid of hot fiat
irons and the sides left two or three
inches in thickness, till the dish thus
formed with water and arrange in it
some exquisite white water-lilies. Small
water-lily pads should be placed among
them to nestle here and there with
half open buds upon the sides of the
ice. Over the edges of the pan bank
moss to cover them, and in this stick
short cut rushes, cat-tails and other
marsh grasses-but not SO high or thick
rs to obscure the ice and lilies. It
must not be forgotten that water-lilies
are only babies in some of their ways,

the sun starts its downward course.

The Necessary Fan.

Fans have long since gone beyond
the stage of strict use and are now re-
garded as part of the finished toilet
of the well dressed woman. For this
particular summer the black fan holds
the highest place in the regard of fair
woman The kinds most in favor are
those of plain black silk, mounted on
various colored sticks, or else the SPAN
gled ones. a few years back the only
spangled fans were of silk, but we have
now the daintieSt creations in gauze
and net. To one skilled in the manipu.
lation of one of these useful little arti-
cles its absence creates sort of void.
1t is so useful to fill up the pauses in
an awkward conversation. or lend an
emphasis when words fail. BY all
means have black fan, and learn how
to use it effectively chicago Tribune.

EFFECT OF SOIL POLLUTION.
Disease Germs Preserved for Nearly 1900
Years


DIR. Lanciani, in his work on ancient
Rome, says that while system of gar
bage C objection existed under Roman
rule, the disposal of refuse was as
crude as it is in many modern towns
and cities. That this disposal method
was regarded as n nuisance at very
early period is made evident by the
fact that sanitary laws were passed
two tn ousand years ago that were in
tended to at least mitigate the trouble.
Some of these laws, craven on stone,
were unear thed by DIR. Lanciani in his
excavations, and the text of one of
them reads: sc. Centius, son of Caius
the Pretor, by order of the senate, has
set up this line of terminal stones to
mark the extent of ground that must
be kept absolutely free from dirt and
from carcassess and from corpses.
Here also the burning of corpses is
strictly forbidden" On the bottom of
this stone, in red letters, some proba-
bly, near resident had written: DO
carry the dirt little farther; other.
wise you will be fined"
But this bounding line, beyond which
any foul matter might be cast to pu-
trvfy under Roman sun, was only
four hundred feet from the city walls
as erected by Servius Tullius. When
DIR. Lanciani dug up these stones on
June IS. 1854, and about two thousand
years after the use of this area for
refuse disposal, the soil was still so
polluted and the stencil arising from
it SO horri BILE that even his workmen,
Injured to such work as they We're,
found it absolutely unbearable, and
had to be relieved at frequent intervals.
The dumping ground near the Es-
outline cemetery, including the present
cemetery itself, was the greatest of
these nuisances, and so long ago as tho
beginning of our Christian era the
Roman rulers found it necessary to
cover this area with twenty-five feet of
soil and to convert it into garden.
The long and active survi val of dis
ease germs in soil wa also claimed in
excavations made inside a cotfer-dam
uncovering the bed of the Tiber, along
side the bridge leadi ng to the Castle of
st, Angelo, in Rome. Here, in success
sive strata, were found coin and other
relics fixing the age of t he deposit down
to the fourth century A. ID. The soil
as it was slowly removed was piled
upon an adjoining wharf, and then
talk en- away. When the very lowest
and oldest of the strata disturbed was
so disposed of, an epidemic of typhoid
fever broke out among the workmen
and those living in the immediate vi
cinity. The result of careful examina-
ton is said to have shown that the
trouble came from this lowest strata,
and that disease germs that had been
lying dorma mt at the bottom of the
Tiber for n early fifteen hundred years
We're still active for evil, and proved
their vitality.
This statement, as far as the survival
OF the germs of typhoid is concerned,
has been disputed. Considering the
dfAiculty of detecting these germs in
refuse recently deposited, there is am
pie room for doubt as to the exact
point in the strata that caused the
trouble observed News.
