SOUTH SEA TRADERS.

who find their way thither. The region
exercises charm, insomuch that Euro
penas who settle there seldom leave it, but
as for the refining infiuence-pray excuse
us. Most white men become degenerate n
Is so much more easy to sin, to get drunk.
and to loll round, with a native woman 10
do the little work needful, and with an AZ.
mosphere that kills all energy. Theauthor
OF Kidnapped Is an exception. and the
globe trotter only touches at few Of the
principal points and does not stay long
enough to succumb to the ,nsidious and
enervating influence of the climate.
lt Is most melancholy fact that the
Islands attract in an overwhelming pro-
portion some of the most desperate ruffians
that ever trod timber. Mr.. Stevenson has
glorified the trader. Take that individual
apart from the glamour cast over him by
great novelist's art and you will find
him an exceedingly unlovely creature,
though not always unlovable perhaps
when in contact with men of his own
color. We exclude the man who repre-
sents reputable European house, because.
as rule, he Is fixed, and it Is his policy to
keep on friendly terms with the natives.
The ordinary beachcomber may also be set
apart. he is too lazy, as a rule, to be yery
bad, and his only self imposed task is gem
orally to advise the chiefs, for which serv-
ices, and for acting as interpreter between
them and the natives, his usual remuner
alton takes the form Of ''chain lightning. -
The man we have more particularly in
mind is the individual who, in his own or
somebody elsc's schooner, carries tho
tions' up and down among the islands, to
be bartered for copra, or anything else that
Is marketable and that will fetch in sgd
ney 20 times MS much as was originally
given for it. Tho average trader is a man
OF absolutely no bowels. He has no eve
for natures marvels. The poetry Of the
southern cline never yet slid into his soul.
His class Is made up largely of the riffraff
OF all Australia, and of some honest men
whom the itch for wandering has carried
on board trader, or who have drifted
thither from Sydney after experiencing
that sickness of heart that comes from
hope deferred and from the final stoppage
OF the parental supplies. His horizon is
limited TO "bilking' the savage, and he
makes enough in few years to retire to a
handsome villa in the suburbs of Sydney
unless he should happen to get killed be-
fore attaining that contamination of re-
spectability. His tricks would fill a book.
His vocabulary of cuss words would make
you cold. On the whole, it is not to he
wondered at that, now and again, the saw
age worm should turn round. and not
Knowing any better slay him.-Pall Mall

Not long ago Pittsburger had one of
his back teeth filled with amalgam-that
composition filling that is 80 largely en-
pioyed on account of the facility with
which 1t can be used. While In New York
the other day the tooth above the one that
had been repaired began to ache terribly,
so that the gentleman was forced to 90 to
a dentist in that city. 80 economize time
tho dentist filled this with amalgam slsc,
and the Pittsburger started Dor 4 is hotol
On his way he noticed that every time his
teeth closed he received sort of an cleo
trio shock. This increased in intensity
until, when he arrived at the hotel, the
sensation became absolutely painful. He
hurried back to the office of the dentist
The doctor had a good laugh when he
10 nd that when the metal used in his
amalgam and that used by the Pittsburg
dentist came together they formed mag
netio current. The patient objected to
having battery in his head. so another
kind OF filling was substituted. Pitts
