Natives Found on the Hidden Plateau ,
Very Little Island.

Natives Found on the Hidden Plateau Of
Very Little Island.
A curious discovery was recently
made on the island of Kitaba, one of
the Trobriand group, off the northeast
coast of New Guinea. A great many
sailors passing this little island have
imagined that it had noinha bitants, be-
cause they saw no evidence of human
occupation, Sir William McGregor, the
administrator of British New Guinea,
says the island has an area of only five
or six square miles. On all sides it
presents a low and slightly slipping
margin, usually about a quarter of a
mile broad, covered by heavy timber.
Within is a precipitous coral wall which
can be assembled only at a few places.
The bank rises to a height of three
hundred or four hundred feet Once at
the top the visitor finds within the
wall a plateau which occupies the
whole of the center of the island and Is
from fifty to one hundred feet below
the coral wall surrounding it.
There about one thousand natives
live and till their gardens. The rich,
chocolate colored soil yields them an
ample supply of food. They are COM
pletely protected from the wind by the
rocky rim that incloses their plateau.
The island seems to have been an atoll
which was lifted above the sea several
hundred feet, so that the atoll ring now
forms the coral wall surrounding
the plateau. On this elevated and
almost inaccessible plain are thir-
teen villages, each of which con-
tains over twenty houses. Sir Will
lam McGregor say the natives gave him
most pleasant reception. He found
it difficult to travel through some vii
lagos on account of the yams, cocoa
nuts, mats, and other articles that
were laid down before him for his ac-
oeptance. There are no inter-tribal
hostilities, and it is not possible for the
natives of other islands to Cypress the
people, because on their plateau. ma
turally fortified as it is, they are mac
cessible to hostile tribes. The drainage
of the plateau is excellent. There are
great cavities in the coral wall through
which the rainfall filters and makes it
way to the sea.-Chicago Times.

THE GOLDENROO.
Something of the Habits of This Now
Popular Flower.

Something of the Habits of This Now
Popular Flower.
If there is one flower that more than
another brings with the mere mention
of its name a suggestion of autumn, it
is the radiant field flower known as
goldenrod. And yet the graceful
sprays, with their autumn tint of
gold" have been waving in the mead
ows since July, as if in utter forgetful-
ness or disregard of the fact that au-
tumn claims them as her own. One is
accustomed, to be sure, to see the vel
low herald of the somber season Occa-
sionally make its appearance in Au-
gust, but such an early visit as
this summers is rare indeed. The
reason is not hard to find
though the majority of goldenrod
hunters have probably been content to
accept the unexpected gift at sum-
mer's hand without seeking to learn
the cause of the usurpation.
Well, the goldenrod, as every one
knows, is hardy, perennial plant. In
fact unromantic farmers have been
heard to declare it ''the peskiest and
stubbornest weed that crops up in the
fields" Thanks to its "Peskiness, " the
beautiful flower considered now mere
~ from an esthetic and not utilitarian
point of view flaunts its yellow robe
in nearly state in the Union, needing
no attention nor cultivation, and thriv-
ing under the most adverse circum-
stances.
It's roots, matured from many years
of growth, strike deep in the soil, and
send out the little feeders to gather
moisture. The long drought and ex-
cessive heat of this summer have de-
prived the roots, and especially the
new ones, of much of the moisture
that aided their growth. so that, as is
usual with such plants, the roots find
ing little encouragement to spread,
have concentrated their energy in at
tanning maturity for the plant that is
in Towering.
This process of nature is often imi-
tated by the gardener, who dries the
roots of some of his plants. and com
presses them in small pots in order : ,
force the flowers. That is why golden
rod has been here since July-nature is
simply forcing the flowers. One is ac-
cdstomed to thinking of goldenrod set
in clusters of gold and red and brown,
and one looks, therefore, for these COM
panions of the autumn flower. In
truth they are not far off, for MANY of
the trees have already begun to let fall
showers of withered leaves, and others
show tips of gold on the green, indicat-
ing an early following in the wake of

PUSH AND PULL.
Success Does Not Come to Him who Waits
for 1t.

success Does Not Come to Him VINO Waits
for 1t.
The old proverb that all things
come to him who waits advances a
very pretty and pleasant theory, but
its literal Interpretation makes it capa
BILE of great misconstruction; for if it
is In one sense true, it's reverse is equal
ly true. Nothing comes to him who
waits and does no more. There is moth
ing in the world that is of any value
that has not to be struggled for; and
those who sit down and fold their
hands, expecting fate and fortune to
bring them what they most desire, will
meet with the disappointment they de-
serve.
We have to be governed very largely
by the analogies of nature whenever
we venture into the realm of the posi-
blilties and the unknown. and there is
no analogy in nature of something be-
ing given for nothing. The seed has to
push through the ground to find the
sun; the tree has to draw its sap up
from unseen sources to whirl forth it's
buds; the bud itself has to force its way
through obstacles of bark and fiber; the
bird has to build it's nest with careful
endeavor and many journeys ere it
feeds the little wings beneath it's breast;
the gold has to be mined, the precious
stone dug from the matrix, the diamond
has to undergo fierce processes of grind
ing and securing before its facets shine
like living light. Struggle is the rule
of life; were it otherwise, it would
seem as though we might all of us have
been put upon the planet in conditions
of luxury and ease and cminence that
would require no effort on our part,
and leave us free for all the enjoyment
the world affords. But what soft, un-
tempered, worthless metal we should
be in such easel It is the fire that
tempers the steel, it is the hammer that
YIELDS it, the grinding, whirling stone
that brings it to an edge
In running for a race, in seeking anv
athletic distinction, it is training that
strips the muscles of all demoralizing
incumbrance and lets that muscle
strive for all it is worth, and training,
dlsclpllue, effort, are the steps to sue
cess of any sort that amounts to much.
That which is gained without effort
comes to unawakened nerve and faced
hber, and is enjoyed in a spirit of in
dolence hardly better than that of the
dormouse in his sleep, and mentally and
morally the recipient is hurt rather
than helped by it. Struggle brightens,
sharpens, rounds and perfects the ma
ture. We are born of it; the very worlds
struggle into life, and shape themselves
by means of it from gaseous masses of
fire out to green fields, blue skies and
pleasant waters; and why should we
expect to escape our conditions? Be
assured that that which is worth hav-
ing is worth working for, and that the
poets famous line, They also serve
who only stand and wait" refers to no
such waiting as inglorious quiesence
would imply, but to waiting which
| itself is the hardest struggle of an i'm
patient spirit For the familiar line is
| true enough:
The waiting time my brother,
Is the hardest time OF all

UNDER THE GUARDS EYES.
How a Southern Convict Obtained Hi
Fresh Pork Every DaY

How a Southern Convict Obtained His
Fresh Pork Every Day.
At a southern convict camp, as de-
scribed in 1.-The American Siberia" the
prisoners seldom had any meat except
salt pork. 4 good many pigs were
about the premises, however, and the
natural desire of the men for fresh
meat frequently asserted itself. A GER
tain dollhouse was so loosely built that
the smaller pigs could slip in through
the cracks; happy circumstance, Of
which the keen-witted and hungry ne
groes took full advantage, till the drove
dwindled so'rapidly as to attract the
attention of the authorities. Capt.
Powell supposes that more than hum
bred pigs were disposed of in this way.
At another camp there was huge
negro named George Smith, who had an
inordinate appetite for pork, which he
gratified in peculiar manner. tie was
employed in the cooper-shop, and was
always more or less under the eye of
guard. The question was, how to catch
and kill pig without attracting atten-
ton.
He wonid take an empty barrel, place
IL on us Sltc anu THROW SOUlc cOLIl-uIcdl
near the bottom. When a pig went in
after the meal Smith quickly set the
barrel on end, making a prisoner OF the
animal. Then he ignited rags and
thrust them under the edge. In short
time the pig would be asphyxiated.
While this was il progress Smith
would be bustling about, as if hard al
work, and in order TO drown the squeals
of his victim he would vigorously ham
mer down hoops, making an outrageous
noise. When the pig gave up the ghost
he reversed the barrel, plunged half his
body inside, as If putting in head"
and proceeded to skin and clean it.
In these close quarters, and without
exciting the suspicion of the guards
who were constantly moving all about
the place, he turned out as neat piece
of work as any butcher.
When the pig had been converted
into pork he rolled the barrel contain
ing it to one corner of the yard, and
cooking was the next thing in order.
1t was managed in al impFoyised oven
over an open fire. and the result would
not have discredited a professional cook.
When the thing finally leaked out,
Smith owned up that he had eaten fresh
pork every day for three months

prosecution for sedition, and in
deed did have his name erased from the
list of privy councillors. Yet another
duke of NorfoIk-who died during the
present century-came near perpetual
ing a toast that would no doubt have
achieved considerable fame. He had
just completed the restoration of Arun-

the discovery that there We're at least
six thousand persons who could right
fully claim to participate in the event
proved an insurmountable bar to the
proceedings
Toasts of a miscellaneous character,
and into which the elements of polit-
ical rancor have not entered, have often
become famous. Some have been es-
pecially grim in character, but perhaps
none ever equaled the weird ''Hurrah
for the next that dies" which was
drank with musical honors by the reck-
less middies of a man-of-war at a time
when the yellow fever was. making pro-
motion speedy by it's awful ravages.
TO yellow jack" many a cup has been
emptied. and the perils of a campaign
have time out of number given birth to
sentiments that elsewhere than on a
battlefield men would shrink from ut
tering. The ladies, too, have had their
share of this form of compliment, and
'the beautiful Miss Cummings" were
only two among countless beauties to
whom the wild bloods of other DAYS
offered homage across the walnuts and
the wine" But surely there never was
a toast trimming over with audacity
and double meaning like the following,
which is said to have been given by
Smeaton. 1t ran thus: Dam the canals,
sink the coal pits, blast the minerals,
consume the manufactures and dispense
