OLD SCOTCH SUGGESTIONS.
The Many Absurdities That Chung Round
the Ceremony of Baptism.

Thus on the birth of q child-to be-
gin at the beginning-it was impera-
tive that both the mother and babe
should be 'sained''-that is fir cam
die was carried thrice round the bed,
and Bible, with a hammock or some
bread and cheese, was placed under the
pillow and kind of blessing muttered
to propitiate the good people.
Sometimes q fir candle was set ON the
bed to keep them off If the newborn
showed any symptom of fractiousness,
1t was supposed to be a changeling, and
to test the truth of this superstition the
child was placed suddenly before peat
fire, when, if really changeling, it
made its escape by the ''lenn, or Chin
ney, throwing back words of scorn as it
disappeared. There was much eagerness
to get the babe baptized lest it should
be stolen by the fairies. If it died un-
christened, it wandered il woods and
solitary places, larnenting its melan-
choly fate, and was often to DO seen.
Such children were called "tarans.
Allan Ramsay, in his Gentle Shep-
herd" describing Mause, the witch,
says of her:
At midnight hours DER the kirkyard she raves
And houks unchristened weans out Of their
graves.
1t was considered sure sign of i'll
fortune to mention the name Of an "un-
christened wean," and even at baptism
the name was usually written ON slip
Of paper, which was handed to the Off
ciating minister, that he might be the
first to pronounce it Great care was
taken that the baptismal water should
not enter the infants eyes, not because
such a mishap might result in wailings
loud and long, but because the sufferers
future life, wherever he went and what
ever he did, would constantly be vexed
by the presence of wraiths and specters.
If the babe kept quiet during the cere-
mony, the gossips mourned over it as
destined to short life and perhaps not
a merry one; hence, to extort cry, the
woman who received it from the father
would handle it roughly or even pinch
it.
If male child and female child
We're baptized together, it was held to
be most important that the former
should have precedence. And why? In
the Statistical Account of Scotland"
the minister of an Orcandian parish ex-
plains: within the last seven years he
had been twice interrupted in admins
tering baptism to female child before
a male child, who was baptized imme-
diately after. When the service was
over, he was gravely told he had done
very wrong, for, if the female child was
first baptized, she would, on coming to
the years of discretion, most certainly
have strong beard, and the boy would
have none. All the Year Round

THE MONOWAIS ARRIVAL.
Rough Seas and Head Winds Caused
the Vessel to be Late.
I From Saturdays Daily ]

From Saturdays Daily
The steamer Monowai was sighted
about 4 o'clock yesterday after
noon, and reached the wharf about
6 o'clock. Her delay was caused
by rough weather and head winds.
On the 18th instant the seas were
running over the vessel, and one of
the seamen named McAllister was
swept about the deck, and, when
he was picked up, it was found that
his right leg was fractured in two
places. He was taken to the
Queens Hospital last night. Her
sailing dates were as follows: Left
Sydney June 18th at 5 pm; left
Auckland on the 18th at 2 pm;
left Apia on the 21st at 6 pm. She
brought the following passengers
for this port: Mrs. James White,
DR.. George Hubby, c. A. Mcdowell,
Chas. Sergeant, Frederick Inness,
and Mrs. L. Fake. Among the
freight for this port was 40 carcases
of frozen mutton and 3 cases of
telephones.
The vessel has a new purser in
B. B. Bendall, young man who is
bound to make himself popular
with everybody he comes in contact
with. He has been in the employ
of the Union Steamship Company
for a long time. He is most

We deeply regret the nsecesity that

we show the world that we are

Mr.. Nawahi then said "The matter
of the 18th of January, 1898, has not
been settled yet. The queen has sub
mitted her grievance to the United
States, but the Provisional Govern
ment is not satisfied with this, and is
trying to establish a Republic. If l

them back to their places and tell
them to stay there until the matter
was settled. If they declare this Re-
public and are not recognized by the
other Powers it will be their fault, not
ours. All in favor of the adoption Of

Lantana in Samoa,

We have been shown a specimen
of the lantana plant, which has
occupied the attention of the Mum
icipaI Council lately says the
Samoan Herald. 1t appears that
this shrub, which grows in a most
luxuriant manner and spreads
alarmingly, is a deal worse than
the Scotch thistle or Bathurst burr,
being utterly destructive to all
other forms of vegetation. 1t has
caused much havoc in Hawaii,
Tonga, aud other tropical places.
Some foreign residents in Samoa
are growing it as garden ornaments,
hut we trust will now cause it to be
destroyed.

LATE NEWS FROM ABROAD,

LONDON, June 15.-In the United
States Senate today motion was
introduced for the re-imposition of
the import duty on wool as levied
under the Mckinley tariff. The
motion was negatived by 81 to 81.
The debate on the question of
the wool duties is being continued
LONDON. June 16.-The United
States Senate has, by a majority
of two, rejected an amendment fix
ing the wool duties at less than
half the rates under the Mckinley
tariff.
An amendment in favor of plac-
ing manufactures wholly or partly
of wool on the free list was rejected,
only three Senators voting in favor
of the proposal.
LONDON, June 1.-THE United
States Senate has completed the
wooden schedule under the new
Tariff bill, with certain modi6ca-
lions to suit the Republicans. Free
raw wool has not yet been voted, it
being included in the free list,
which will be reached at a later
stage. The Senate's refusal on
Friday to put a duty on raw wool
virtually settles the question, and
this class of wool will probably re-
main on the free list.
The Ottawa Conference.
LONDON, June 1.-THE opening

tinstion on the following Saturday.
