A Eli Judge Who Twanged 3 Jews-Har
While Hearing Cases.

A Ftji Judge Who Twanged 3 Jews-Harp
While Hearing Cases.
The natives of Fiji are amenable to
criminal code known as the native reg
ulations. These are administered by
two courts, the district court, which
sits monthly and is presided over by
native magistrate; and the provincial
court, which assemblies every three
months before the English and native
magistrates sitting together. In 'sSouth
Sea Yarns" Basil Thomson gives an
amusing account of the district court:
The courthouse, native building
carpeted with mats, is now packed
with natives, sitting cross-legged, only
a small place being reserved in front of
the table for the accused and the wit
nesses. The magistrate takes his seat,
and his scribe, sitting on the floor at
his side, prepares his writing materials
to record the sentences.
The dignity with which the judge
adjusts his shirt collar and clears his
throat is a little marred when he pro-
duces from his bosom jew's-harp with
which to beguile the tedium of the
hours.
The first case is called. Samuela and
Timothe, two meek-faced youths of
eighteen and nineteen, sitting tailor
fashion before the table, are charged
with fowl stealing. They plead: Not
Guilty" and the owner of the fowls,
being sworn, deposes that having been
awakened at night by the voice of
faVorite hen in angry remonstrance, he
ran out of his house, and after a hot
chase captured the accused red-handed
in two senses, for they were plucking
l, III -
Quite unmoved by this tragic tale,
Vatureba seems to listen only to the
melancholy notes of his jew's-haT.p; but
fuence withal,. and a period of awed
silence follows his accusation, broken
only by subdued twanging from the
bench. The judge has not yet opened
his lips during the case, and as the
jew's-harp is not capable of much ex-
preston, it is with some interest that
we await the sentence.
Suddenly the music ceases, the in
strument is withdrawn from the
mouth, the oracle is about to speak.
Alas! he utters but two words: 'sVula
tolu' three months), and there peals
out Indignantly triumphant strain
from the jew's-harp.
But the prosecutor starts up with a
protest. One of the accused is his
nephew, he explains, and he only
wished a light sentence to be imposed.
Three months for one fowl is SO severe;
besides, if the boy has three months, he
must go to the central Jail and not
work out his sentence in his own dis
trict.
Again there is silence, and the voice
of the jew's-harp has changed from tri
umph to thoughtful melancholy. At
length it ceases, and the oracle speaks
again: ''Bogi tolu'' Three daysl.

Most people have an idea that rice
paper, out of which cigarettes are
made, is made frice -ninety-nine out of
every one hundred smokers share this
opinion. Rice does not enter into the
composition at all, and the name is a
misnomer. The so-called rice paper is
made from the pitch of small tree
which is indigenous to Formosa. 1t is
found nowhere else, believe. It be-
longs to the family which is repre-
sented in this country by the sarsapa-
rilla. The pith is pure white. The
stems are sent to China, where the pa
per is made. Tt is used largely by
the Chinese artists for water-color
drawings. Those illustrated Chinese
and japanese books are made of it.
The Chinese and Japs also dye the pa
per and make urssifcial towers Of it.

Damascus Swords.

To the lovers of strange goods the
bazars of Damascus are far more allur-
ing than those of Cairo or of Constan-
tinople; the capacious chests of the
merchants contain much that we would
buy were our purses longer. Old em-
broideries of wonderful color, delicate
china, silks of many hues, swords of
cunning workmanship, all these lie
piled beside us on the floor. 1t is but
seldom that a really good specimen of
the Damascus sword can be obtained,
for the art of working and engraving
steel is dead. THESE swords were made
of alternate layers of iron and steel,
so finely tempered that the blade
would bend to the hilt without break
ing, with an edge so keen that no coat
of mail could resist, and surface so
highly polished that when a Moslem
wished to rearrange his turban he used
his sword for 1ookingglasss.
