lacies," which is now included in his
''Darwinism, and Other Essays" Mr..
Fiske's first book, which was preceded
by many essays in reviews, magazines
and newspapers, was "Myths and
Myth Makers" published in 1872. This
was followed in 1874 by work which
Immediately attracted the notice Of
many of the keenest minds in England
and the United States-"Outlines of
Cosmic Philosophy" This work was
based upon series of lectures which
Mr.. Fiske had delivered at Harvard in
1859 and 1871, and which he repeated in
Boston, New York and London.
During the last ten years Mr.. Fiske
has devoted his time almost exclusive
ly to American history, and the beauty
of his style and the philosophical
spirit with which he traces cause and
effect in the development of political
ideas give fascinating interest to
his historical works. These are
four in number =" American Po-
litical Ideas" 1.-The Critical Period Of
American History, 17ss-l7s9," 1.-THE Be-
ginnipgs of New England" and, in the
Riverside Library for Young People,
1.-THE War of Independence" Since
1881 Mr.. Fiske has delivered an annual
course of lectures on American history
at Washington university, st. Louis.
and these lectures he has repeated in
many towns and cities before publish
ing them in book form.
Mr.. Fiske's home is in Cambridge,
Mass, where he spends all of his time
with his wife and six children when he
is not travelling about the country lee
turing. Since 1879 he has been a mem
Der of the board of overseers of Har-
ward university. and from 1872 to 1870
he was assistant librarian in that insti-
tute. He has visited Europe several
times, remaining for an entire year,
and has lectured before the Royal in
stitution in London and the Philosoph-
zeal institution at Edinburgh. He

men in England eminent in science
and literature. who were first attracted
by the skill with which he expounded
the philosophy of Spencer.

farmyard leading to the old mill. An
old Dutch house, still retaining it's wide
porch and broad, low-eaved gables,
faces mill and mill stream. High tides
rise all about the house, submerge its
flower garden, and food its cellar.
The mill, three-and-a- half-story
shingled structure, overhangs the tide
race in which its water wheel once
dipped and turned. The mill was
built in 1889 by Shute & Stanton. local
millers of that day. It was driven by
the tide, and for several generations it
ground the wheat from neighboring
farms. Robert Reid became owner Of
the mill about the middle of the last
century, and was reputed an honest
though somewhat testy miller. One
Waldron afterward became owner or
lessee, and in 1862 town committee
was appointed to regulate Miller VALID
ron's toll charges.
The old mill continued its work with
various fortunes and successive owners
until within the last few years. When
the region round about ceased to be

being only six couples present,

repast was partaken of and dane

ranged and attended the entertain

testifying to the esteem and
respect in which the worthy and
popular professor was held by
them. Prof. Howard is manager
of the Stockton, Cal, Business

vancing the interest of that well

that direction have resulted salts

quarters of an acre of cane last
Friday. AS soon as the fire was
discovered, large gang of planta-

The cane around the burning por.
ton was cut down and the pro-
gress of the fire stopped. The
origin of the fire was not known.
The cut and damaged cane was
sent to the mill to be ground, the
actual loss being but slight.

SAMOAN REBEL LAWS.
Heavy Penalties are Prescribed
For their Violation.

AS there seems to be a doubt in
several quarters as to the precise
authority which exists for dealing
with rebels in Samoa, We append
/ Article ". of the Samoa Criminal
Code, with the provisions of which
Mataafa was made fully aware:
REBELs-AssIsTING PRIsoNERs-EsCAPEs.
l. If any Samoan is found on trial
to be a rebel, by trying to stir up the
people of these islands to dethrone
or kill the king, or attempting to
raise war against the government, or
band together with those who hate
his government, he is a rebel, and
may be transported from these isl
ands for life, and everything he has
shall become the property of the
government.
2. If any Samoan shall know any
thing that was likely to cause rebel
lion, and does not make it known to
the government, he may tried and
imprisoned for not more than four
years, either with or without hard
labor.
8. If any Samoan shall seize, or
try to seize, the rights or privileges
of the king, or try to incite the peo-
pie to rise against the laws of the
country, he shall certainly be tried,
and may either be hanged, trans
ported, or imprisoned for not less
than ten years, and he may be i'm
prisoned for life, with or without
hard labor.
4. If any Samoan should spread
false reports or curse the king, he or
she shall be liable to Imprisonment
with or without hard labor for term
not exceeding four years.
5. If it should become known to
the king that any Samoan will obey
the law of the government, but
through his continued bad talking
becomes a disturber of the peace in
the islands, the king may, if he see
fit, transport him to another island
of this group, and he may be kept
thus within certain marked limits for
a term of not more than ten years.
6. If any Samoan punished under
section 5 should go beyond the boun-
diaries prescribed for him, he shall be
liable to be imprisoned for a term
not exceeding six months with or

FROM SOUTH AFRICA.
Queer Scenes as Viewed by II.
W. BayIiss.

d. w. Bayliss, of London, one
of the leading manufacturers of
railroad iron and general supplies
in the world, who has recently been
on a visit to South Africa, is at the
Occidental hotel, San Francisco.
Mr.. Bayliss' firm has just filled the
largest contract ever made with
any railroad, that of furnishing an
enormous quantity of supplies for
the Cape Town railroad, of which
5000 miles are now in operation.
He says South Africa as whole
reminds him much of America,
and parts of that country are very
similar to California. Cape Town
is, as regards its keen, bracing ocean
breeze, much like San Francisco,
while Natal is in its surroundings
and climate very similar to Santa
Barbara. Port Elizabeth is the
Liverpool of South Africa.
1t is a pushing, wide-awake coun-
try, but as whole there are few
Americans there. The Dutch are
very industrious and are wonderful
money-makers, but they are not
very well informed and they live
poorly.
"The gold mines" he said, ARE
undoubtedly the greatest in the
world. There is more gold in a
given property than in any else
where, but the richest gold mines
are not at johannesburg, but off
farther on the frontier. The Kim
berley diamond mines are going
ahead and producing as wonder
fully as ever, but the big De Beers
syndicate now includes most of
them.
what surprised me most were
the hotel charges. You cannot
live at Kimberly at any kind of a
hotel-for instance, like an aver
age one at Santa Barbara-for less
than 81 a day. The reason is that
they do not raise anything, and all
the supplies have to come from
England.
cat Kimberly the natives are
prohibited by a two-mile limit from
coming into town in their native
state, as they would like, and as
until the law was passed was their
custom. Because of this l have
seen them come in from their
kraals to the two mile point, both
men and women, stark naked, and
carrying their clothes. There they
would stop and put them on.
When they get through in the city
they would come back, and strip
stark naked again and proceed to
their kraals.
THE veldt, or prairie of South
Africa, of which Ryder Haggard
speaks, is not exactly the same as
the prairie land of America. The
veldt is short and covers the land
something like a carpet yet it
affords good grazing for cattle. All
in all, it is a most interesting
country, but probably the most in
teresting thing is the customs.
What is right there is oftentimes
radically wrong here and in Eng
land"
Mr.. Bayliss intends to put in
some months in California. His
health for some time has not been
good, and he is trying to recup.
