SAMOAN FUNERALS.
Tho PrOfuse Ceremonials Observed WI
hAath n,-nr~

The Profuse Ceremonials Observed When
Death Occurs.
In Samoa it Is impossible for chief to
die in peace and quiet. AS soon as he
Is known to be near death, the people
for miles around hasten to pay him a
farewell visit. On one such occasion,
according to writer in Outing, the
visitors, all Of whom had to be enter.
tained, devoured seven hundred pigs.
When death finally occurs, the rela-
tives and friends come with their offer
ings Of fine mats. Singly, or in small
groups, they present the tokens Of their
sorrow to some old woman, deputed to
receive them. The mats are spread
over the corpse, until in some in
stances hundred or more are piled up,
entirely hiding the body from sight.
They excite more attention than the
dead chief, and after the burial are
hung up for inspection.
Every mat has name and history,
and though the outsider could not
easily distinguish one from another,
yet the elderly people recognize them
at first sight, and relate bits Of history
about each, as it isexposed to view.
After the funeral is over, within q
day or two, there Is grand meeting
for division Of the mats. Every one
who brought mat expects to take
away one-a better one. All hands are
seated in circle, and the mats are
piled up in the center.
The head Of the family, who is al.
ways high chief, opens folded mat.
All look at it carefully, discuss its mer-
Its and value, mention it's various own
ers at different times and the great oc-
casions at which it has figured, and the
name Of the donor on the present o.
casion.
Then the head Of the family calls the
name Of some person who is in the
circle, to intimate that the mat Is given
to him, or her, as the case may be. The
recipient takes the mat, lifts 1t, and
presses 1t to the top Of the head, at the
same time expressing audible thanks.
The entire heap OF mats is parcelled
out In the same manner.

Rev. Hudson Taylor, of the China
Inland mission, estimates that more

One Of England's Oldest Trees.

One of the Oldest trees standing in
England is the "Tortworth" chestnut,
which, as far back as the reign Of
Stephen, in 1875, was so remarkable for
its size and antiquity that 1t was recog-
nized as the terminal boundary Of the
manor Of Tortworth in Worcestershire.
The wondrously old tree was cited by
DR.. Ducard in his controversy with
DANES harrington as convincing
proof Of the chestnut being indigenous
to Great Britain. 1t is supposed to
have attained its maturity in the reign
Of Egbert. In 17G6 the Tortworth chest
nut was fifty feet in circumference and
tifty-two feet high, and many more
centuries OF tranquil existence were
predicted for il.

AN OLD SUPERSTITION.
Prosecution of a Woman for Possessing 6
Supernatural Powers.

Prosecution Of a Woman for Possessing
Supernatural Powers.
Here is an instance of superstition in
England as late as 1868. 1t is in suit
brought against Susan Haynes for pos
sessing supernatural powers:
Anna sayce deposes that she knowes
the articulate Susan Haynes, now the
wife Of William Waters, and saith that
she is woman Of very little credit or
reputation amongst her neighbours;
and doth soc much abuse her neigh
bours, and disturbe their quiet, that
hey will scarce su fer her to come near
them; that she is great swearer, and
is accompted a hard-hearted, wicked
woman; and this deponent hath heard
one Margery Hodges say that she
haveing Cow very sick, did send for
the aforesaid Susan Haynes, and forced
her to say God bless the Cow!' and
hereupon the said Cow recovered and
we'll within some few howers after.
"And in case any person or beast do
fall sick on suddaine, who is known
to the said Susan's mother, it is usual
to send for her and to force her to say,
God bless such person or BEAST and
the whole neighbourhood doe general
ly believe the said Susan and her moth
er and sister very ill persons, and
such as are able by their curseing,
swearing and other i'll practices to doe
persons hurt; and especially one Hen.
ry Wetton, Of Dilwyn aforesaid, being
sick in his bedd, was persuaded that
he could not recover nor depart out OF
this life and be eased Of his paine un-
till the aforesayd Susan and her
mother and sister were sent for to
blesse him and to pray for him.
"Whereupon one Richard Phillips, q
cunstable, was sent for them-as this
deponent hath been told-and brought
them unto the aforesaid Henry, and
made them desire that God would
either restore him to his health or re-.
lease him out Of his pain and sickness
by death; and the next day following
the said Henry dyed. The

We came to Asheville to
inaugurate a system of mer-
chandise based on dollars,
and we not only frankly said
80, but have kept the faith
to the best of our ability.
We did not expect all to like
it and in this have not been
disappointed. We expected
our customers to appreciate
it, and to sell stacks OF
goc cds, and the result has
far surpassed anything we
had thought of. We are sell
ing goods to make money
and have not attempted to
delude any body with the
cry that we were giving
away goods for we are not.
We sell goods cheap-hun-
dreds of things less than job
bers sell them, and we ex-
pect to keep that up. We
believe in selling goods
cheap, lot what we can get
or all we can get, as is the
plan of some, but as low as
we can all the time. 1t Gov

WILL HE GET HER?
The Khedive of Egypt Wants to Marry One
of the SuItan's Daughters.
LOGAN, Utah.

The Khedive of Egypt Wants to Marry One
of the SuItan's Daughters.
The young khedive of Egypt as slav-
ing a very uncomfortable time IN Con-
stantinople and is doubtless sorry that
he ever went there. The sultan appears
to take malicious delight in making the
Young man feel his inferiority and has
carried this so far as to refuse to allow
his daughter to be gwen in marriage to
the common Egyptian pasha who owes
his position to the support of infidel
Englishmen. The khedive's mother,
however, continues assiduously to in
trigue in the harems on her sons be-
half, and as she is admittedly very
clever woman it is believed that her
persistency will ultimately be rewarded
by success.
The sultan at present has only two
recognized daughters Of 1.larliaoeable
age. One is 13 years old, and the other
is 10. 1t was suggested early in the
negotiations that the sultan's daughter
is forbidden by unw-itten law to marry
outside the limits of the Ottoman EN-
pire, but his majestx, himself promptly
disposed of that argument by declaring
that Egypt is all int egral part of his
empire, and it is certainly recognized
as such by all the European powers.
If the sultan should relent, the mar
riage will take place in Constantinople
after the khedive, by his suzerain's gra-
cious permission, has taken a short holt
day trip through Europe.
Unlike the khedive, young King Alex
ander was treated by the sultan with
the greatest distinction and has returned
to Servia more persuaded than ever
that he is the greatest man in Europe
