Attending ..Teas" In Samoa.

A woman recently home from Samoa
tells of "teas" in that South Sea island.
The Samoan tea is quite like any other
tea so far as it is an informal festivity
to promote sociability over asip of some
thing" The peculiar cordial brewed by
the native women is usually the some
thing offered, drunk out of a cocoa shell
beautifully polished. At tie kings pic

fond, tits imperative to drain your drink

Two Letters.

An industrious young man who looks
after the correspondence in Wall street
banking house is an adept and enthusi-
astic manipulation of typewriting ma
chine. His sister, self reliant girl Of
more than ordinary cleverness, is en-
ployed as stenographer and typewriter
in large manufacturing establishment
in Buffalo. The young man mailed a
bulky letter to his sister, with whom he
is fond Of joking, and as smart re-
minder of April Fool day he inclosed two
large sheets of foolscap paper. Oh one
sheet he wrote, "Ha! ha! He! he April
L." and the other sheet contained the
words, "Now you owe me a good long
lstter-a long one, mind YOU" A few
days ago this funny young man received
an express package on which 40 cents
charges were due. It looked like small
can of tea, hut when opened proved to
be roll Of ribbon paper about 10 yards
long, on which, in closely written char
acters, was long and friendly message
from the sister in Buffalo.-New York

Where Eerets Come From

Many ladies who wear the pretty, del
icate plume of the egret on their bonnets
do so in the belief that this ornament is
manufactured by the milliners from
common feathers. Mr.. W. q. Hudson,
author of "The Naturalist In La Plata, y
who has too often witnessed the slaugh-
ter Of the white heron for its feathers,
corrects this little mistake.
Whatever part the art Of millinery
may take in combining and arranging
the egret plume the material itself is the
spoil Of cruelty. Nature made it the
snuptial adornment' Of the parent bird,
and it is sought for and stolen at the sea-
son of its growth by unfeeling men who
profit by catering to fashionable vanity.
Mr.. Hudson says that the egrets are In
nearly all cases actually made of the
slender feathers that grow at one time OF
the year on the egret's back and droop
gracefully over the back and tail of the
bird. Those who engage in the business
of procuring these plumes know that to
obtain good supply with little trouble
the birds mus. be taken when the breed
ing season is well advanced.
The best time to attack them is when
the young birds are fully hedged and not
yet able to fly, for at that time the solic-
itude of the parent birds is greatest, and
forgetful of their own danger they are
most readily made victims. When the
killing is finished and the few handfuls
of coveted feathers have been plucked
out, the slaughtered birds are left in a
white heap to tester in the sun and wind
and in sight of their orphaned young
that CIV for food and are not fed.

It has three or four shots in The air at

several miles of wire, it having been
found that gun made up of this wire is

to stand the first shock Of the elastic
force of cordite or gunpowder better
than iron or steel, while the long bore

A Humble Tragedy

If for anybody, life must be a horrid
grind for poor old Peter Bennett Of
Plymouth, the miser whose sS2, 800 was
spirited away by burglars two or three
years ago. Poor old Peter has been IN
hot water ever since and is now poorer
than ever. After his wife died Peter
decided his farm and stock to his stepson
on the condition that he (Peter) should
have good care and support during the
remainder Of his life. Now the old man
claims that he has been neglected and i'll
treated and the bargain has been broken.
He has gone to the home of relatives fol-
shelter for the present and promises tc
appeal to the courts. "a Humble Trag.
edy" might be made of the singular ad.
venture of Peter Bennett, and it would
be one of the most peculiar stories ever
told.-Lewiston Journal.

A Mode1 Of AM fhe oceans.

A miniature representation Of all the
oceans and seas as well as their tides and
currents is feature of the photographic
display at the Worlds fair. This model,
which all must confess must be of great
practical value, if not of scientific inter
est, is huge tank, made so as to repre-
sent the surface of the earth spread out
over an area of about 80 feet square. The
oceans, seas and lakes, which Of course
are the main objects thus displayed, are
represented by real water. Through
these at proper intervals smaller streams
Of water are elected, the idea being to
represent the different currents just as
they flow in nature.
The direction of these currents IS shown
by streaks of white powder on the sur
face. In order that the whole may be
better understood, q large map will be
placed within handy reach, with man
to explain the force, volume, ETC., Of the
various arteries of the deep" 1t is ex-
pected that this display will be an In
valuable object lesson to those who have
never looked into such matters and whose
time and opportunities will not adm OF
personal investigation.-St. Louis Re-
nublic.

Acorrespondent A who says that he once
spent three-quarters Of an hour In
whales belly thus relates the strange
adventure: The good ship Europa, on
which l sailed as cabin boy, was an
chored off the coast Of Lower California
We had taken number Of whales and
were at work trying the oil out of the
hlubber cut from the whales lying along
side. To get at the fat inside the whales
we were cutting off the ends Of two or
three ribs and hosting them up from the
whales body.
This left an opening large enough for
a person to crawl into the whale and
strip Of the fat, which was sent On deck
in buckets. We were short handed, ard
the captain told me to go down into the
whale and strip of the fat. Boylike, |
jumped at Tie chance.
had not been at work long before l
heard one of the sailors sing out: Pull
the boy out of the whale. The tackle
falls are stranding.'
l had small monkey rope" tied
around my waist. The other end was
on the vessels deck At the sailors cry
the captain jumped and grabbed it to
pull me out, but it was too late. The
tackle fall snapped in two, the ribs
closed together, and l, like Jonah Of old,
was shut up in whales belly.
When the ribs came together, they
closed upon q toggle OF pin used oa the
tackle. This pin had come out and
caught between the ribs. Through 1t
small hole for reefng rope had been
bored, and solely by means Of this hole,
which enabled me to breathe, my life
was saved.
All was confusion on the ships deck.
The men dared not use their sharp cut
ting spades to make another incision for
fear of injuring me. The tears were
rolling down old Captain C-'s face.
One of the men jumped on the whale,
and / shouted through the hole in the
toggle that was all right. Then there
was great rejoicing. The old captain
Jumped on the whale himself, and with
small sheathknife cut away at the
flesh until he came :, my body.
Great care had to be exercised not to
disturb the toggle, for they knew | was
breathing through it. AT length the
hole was large enough for me to crawl
through, and l came on deck, sick and
weak from my experience. Youths

A Priestly Hero.

Father William P Treacy, who has
made such a sturdy fight for mis- church
at Swedesboro, N. j., mas won the sym.
pathy and admiration of many who even
believe him wrong, and his life's history
shows that he is Lero. Three times he
has risked his life for others. His first
heroic act was to rescue colored boy
from death in the Chesapeake bay dur
ing a terrible storm when even the
trained life guards finched. In 1873 the
priest jumped into the Bronx near
Fordham college and saved the life Of
James Murphy. When the village OF
Aeganhoven in Belgium was destroyed
by fire, Father Treacy directed the work
of the rescuers from the roofs of the
burning buildings and left them only
after every man, woman and child hao
been accounted for.-Philadelphia Rec

that men would yet wear their watches
strapped to their ankles and would stand
on one leg to see what time it was. But
much more graceful and ingenious
manner of carrying timepiece has been
introduced. Watches are now inserted
in shirt studs and worn on the bosom.

what time it is for him.-New York

THE ICE CREAM CURE.
snatched From the Brink of the Grave by
This Easily Taken Remedy.

Snatched From the Brink OF the Grave by
This Easily Taken Remedy.
A man who is run down in heslth or
who finds disease fastening itself upon
hisvitals usually tries to save himself by
scme form of exercise that yields no
profit. Hunting, fishing, boating, box
ing, lawn tennis, horseback riding and
swinging the dumbbells are frequently
tried in vain endeavor to regain the fast
decreasing strength.
jim Tobln, one of our most industri-
ous farmers, was confined to the house
for some weeks last summer afflicted
with stomach trouble that almost baf-
fed medical skill. It was found that no
food except ice cream could be retained
long enough to be digested. He confined
himself to that diet and was soon able to
take some exercise. But he engaged IN
none of the unremunerative fashionable
fads mentioned above. He preferred
something financially profitable as well
as physically beneficial and used his
muscles in performing the lighter forms
of farm work. For several weeks he
continued this sensible course, confining
himself strictly to an ice cream diet. He
soon found that his former strength and
vigor had returned, and he was able to do
asmuch as ever-an amount more than IS
accomplished by the average man.
At the Tobin home gallon of rich ice
cream is frozen regularly as morning
comes. This work is part of the regular
routine of breakfast getting. The amount
mentioned is sufficient for the day. Mr..
Tobin never eats less than quart of the
dainty foo1 at meal and frequently re-
quires more than that amount, although
seldom indulging in so much as half a
gallon. He digests it readily and enjoys
it. He could probably take other kinds
of food now, but has suffered SO much
from indigestion that he thinks it best
to leave well enough alone.
Since the 14th of last July he has eaten
nothing but ice cream. On that date he
weighed 14O pounds and was hardly able
to walk. Now he tips the beam at 210
and works early and late. This gain of
70 pounds of flesh and the complete res
toration of his strength on diet of fro
zen cream, eggs and sugar is something
remarkable, but it is the simple truth as
we got it from Mr.. Tobin's own lips.
Those who see him-the perfect repre-
sentative of man in rugged health, with
sinewy build and almost tireless strength
would hardly suspect the modesty of
his meals and hardly credit the story
when it is told them.
Of course there is much monotony in
! his meals, but he contents himself with
his dish of cold comfort, and for dessert
shifts the aroma and odor Of the victuals
on the table He is satisfied with health
and strength and says the medicine is
not bad to take-Lagoda Leader.
