TROUBLE IN SAMOA.
Slight skirmishes Between the Rebels
and the Government.

Slight Skirmishes Between the Rebels
and the Government.
AUCKLAND, N. N.Z.-Advices from Samoa
dated June IA reached here recently.
The British warship Curacao and the
German warship Buzzard visited the
locality of the rebel camps recently, and
notified them that, if ten chiefs and fifty
guns were surrendered, no attack would
be made upon them by the government
forces, and the rebels were also informed
that, il they resolved to reject this prop
osition and fight, they were at liberty to
have their women and children on board
the Curacao and Buzzard. After some
deliberation the rebels sent ten chiefs
and fifty worthless guns aboard the war
ships. After the departure OF the war
ships the rebels reoccupied the forts, and
openly defied the government forces.
The Sunday following the rebels fired
upon the village where Chief Malietoa
was supposed to be attending divine
services, and advanced upon the village
itself. The rebels, however, were re-
pulsed by the government force with
slight loss on both sides. 1t was evi-

Burglars recently broke into jewel,
ny store in New York and stole among
other things gold snuffbox that once
belonged to Queen Isabella of Spain.
The newspapers seriously announced
that the snulfbox was given to Queen
Isabella by King Ferdinand in i462.
The longer we live the more we unlearn.
We imagined that tobacco had some
thing to do with snuff, and, as school
boys were taught, that tobacco was not
known in Europe till many years after
Ferdinand presented this snuifbox to
his queen. n.-Jewelers Circular.

With these assurances the bride comes

That tho hair covering the body Of an
animal or the head of a human being
serves the purposes Of warmth and protec-
tion IL manifest. but one would hardly ex.
pect to find that 10 also acts "a n cleansing
agent. This, however appears to be the
fact. The minute scales which cover the
outer portion Of hair are fastened at one
edge and free at the other. and the free
edges lie in the direction away from the
skin.
The surface Of hair. therefore, is like
that Of piece of fur or cloth covered with
nap; rubbed from root to tip It il found to
be smoother than when rubbed in the op-
posite direction. This being the case, it
is evident that particles Of matter in con
tact with hair must find their direction
Of easiest motion 20 lie toward the tip end
of the hair and away from its root So
by virtue Of the peculiar structure Of its
surface the hair serves gradually to re
move from the skin which it covers all for
eign particles which may have found lodg
ing there.
The oily secretions emanatng from the
follicles Of the hair probably assist thi,
action by gathering up the fine particles
of extraneous dust aud scales from the
skin and thus enabling the hair TO retain
them, so to speak, in the grasp of its Gu
rious system of brushes. Every move
ment of the hair, however produced. must
tend to set the particles sticking upon it
in motion, and as we have already seen
that motion can be in only one direction.

ago, were In the habit Of destroying the
bedding and belongings Of consumptiyes,
and in some cases even the house in which
they lived, for fear OF the spreading of the
plague. That IL is not very actively con-
tagious is proved sufficiently by the facS
that the dwellers in cities are alive at all,
for statistics prove that from one-tenth to
one-fifth of all the deaths in large cities

A most economical result has attended
the recent improved processes in manufac-
turing wood pulp for paper. contrasting
singularly with the fact that, years ago.
purchasers of sprucewood for pulp were
inclined TO pay larger prices for smooth,
clear material than for any other descrip-
tion, it being customary in those days to
spend much time in boring out the knots
before grinding the wood into pulp. Now,
however, 1t is found that the whole sub
stance, knots and all, can best be ground
up, and then. the specific gravity of the
knots being SO much greater than that of
the average pulp, they sink to the bottom
and can be removed. In fact, in soda and
sulphite pulp, there is less of the knot left
after being in the digesters than there
would be of the ground wood pulp where
knots are present. The wood pulp grinder
prefers logs OF full size on account of the
larger percentage of clear wood, but in
many sections much use is made of the
small size.-New York sun.
