THE soLomoN ISLANDS.

In the Southern Pacinc.

The Solomon group OF islands, recently
annexed by England. is the largest and a.
yet least known of any in the Pacific ocean,
though among the very first TO Ire discov-
cred. There are seven or eight large, noun
famous islands varying in length from 7c
TO 100 miles, and n great number OF smaller
islands, ranging from 10 TO ~ miles Id
length, down to the tiny coral islet one-hali
mile across.
The Solomon islanders are OF mixed
race, varying between al almostpure Malay
type and tie darker skinned Polypesian.
Though they are almost universally canni-
balls, they stand In other respects by nc
means low In the scale OF sayages. 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 aud hardens Their
looks. Indeed, the condition Of women

was on one Of these islands that Mr..
Bates, an English yachtsman, landed from

Head hunting is still carried on to some
extent in connection with cannibalism, but
much more from the simple desire Of the
chiefs TO accumulate skulls as n token OF
power or proves. IL has also a sacrih.
cial aspect. III case Of the death Of chief
a head must be provided, and the launch
ing of new war canoe or the completion
Of bamboo house must be signaiized
in the same way. Within the radius OF
the head hunting forays no native can be
said TO enjoy security OF life for single
day. The custom Is now carried on less
openly than Of old.
Every chief has his butcher, who is an
important member Of his court. When
captive is taken in war, he is handed over
to this official and promptly dispatched.
The body is then cut up, and the joints are
hung upon a tree reserved for that purpose
in the village. and the people are invited to
come and buy Philadelphia Telegraph.

becomes apparent of each one Goethe
found the quiet Of early morning most
favorable for composition; the teeming
brains Of the great physicist Helmholtz
and the mathematician CAUSE marked as
most produ ,tive the silent hours or walks

the famous electrician, Werner Siemens,
after being inearcerated in a fortress as

was with regret he regained his freedom
from ~ imprisonment in which work and

1t is constant advertising that produces

ment may have force peculiar to itself.

theater but occasionally. The effect Of the
latter, being more striking, may be proper
tionately more effective Many people pro
test that IL Is unnecessary TO continue the
advertising Of well known articles. They
cannot understand why il is continued.
