The Taupau Dance of Samoa.

The taupau of a neighboring village,
specially enlisted as first rate dancer,
with four girl companions, formed the
ballet. The taupau wore marvellous
headdress, resembling that of the youth
who mixed the kava at Malie. Round
her forehead was band of small pieces of
nautilus shell, above lowered an erect
wig of human hair which had been
bleached for months in marsh, little
looking glasses were placed in front, and
the whole was surmounted with trail
of red hummingbirds' feathers.
The effect was something between
that of inter and Of Persian kings
crown, but part of the structure fell off
during the exertions which ensued. Be
hind the girls sat three or four men, one
of whom contributed the musical ac-
compartment by beating on bottles
wrapped up in cloth. The others assist
ed in the chorus singing, but their part
was very subordinate one.
The performance of the FIVE girls in
front, who were at first seated on the
ground, was exceedingly amusing. It
consisted of series of songs, mostly
topical" with a great deal of action.
The taupau generally started with a
solo, and the others presently joined in,
swaying their arms and bodies backward
and forward, touching each others shout
ders and moving their hands and fingers
with peculiar grace.-Nineteenth Cen
tury.

historic nouses of washington.

To most visitors Washington is only
the seat Of government, and interesting
merely because of the department build
ings, the White House and the capitol.
Having seen these, with the National
museum and the Smithsonian institu-
ton, tourists go away content. They
do not pause to think that nearly all the
great men of the nation have at one time
or another had homes at the capitol, and
have here done very large share of the
work that has made them famous.
Yet so true is this that no other city
on this continent is so rich in historical
associations, and these associations are
in the homes of the capital. They clus-
ter around houses that have sheltered
the makers of the republic and are in
volved with those personal incidents
that are the most fascinating part of
history. Some of these spots are remote
from the portions of the city now fire.
quented by visitors.
Georgetown, which fiourished before
Washington was laid out even on paper,
and whose older inhabitants still look
down on all the region east of Rock
creek with placid scorn, has a large
number of fine old buildings, several of
them richly stored with relics of the
Revolutionary period.
Capitol hill, at the other extremity of
the city, is justly proud of the fact that
General Washington designed it to be
the site of the great metropolis that
should bear his name; that the capitol
faces eastward; that every president at
his inauguration takes the oath of office
looking toward the dignified old part of
the city and not toward the pretentious
new part, of which Capitol Hill feels an
i'll disguised jealousy. -iScribner's.

Cheap Farm Products.

The new tariff bill has shown the evil
dent intention of the present admins
tration and of the free trade party that
controls congress to abolish protection
to farmers. A direct attack has been
made upon the potato, tobacco and hop
growing interests, besides many others.
The result of this will be lowering of
the value of American farm products
through the importations from foreign
countries. England, Scotland, Ireland,
Canada and Germany stand ready to
send us all the potatoes that we need.
An open market in the United States
would be a boon to the farmers in those
countries, where the value of farm la
Dor is reckoned at only few cents per
day, and where the price Of 20 cents
for a bushel of potatoes Is of much
greater comparative value than 90 cents
would be to the farmers in this country.
There will be less demand for Ameri-

other things, and our farmers must turn
their attention and devote their land to
the cultivation of other crops. What
can they grow that will be as remuner-
ativeP These three crops-hops, tobacco
and potatoes probably, on an
average, returned to the farmers better
money for their labor and investment
than any other crops and thAv ave

Tariff For Revenue Times.

During the depression brought about
by the free trade period of 1887, the
whole country went into liquidation
bank loans and discounts fell off more
than one-half; the money loss to the
country was not less than $1,000, 900,
600, to say nothing of the tremendous
strain upon the moral sense of the peo-
pie. All prices fell off ruinously; pro-
duction was greatly diminished, and in
many departments practically ceased;
thousands of workmen were idle, with
no hope of employment, and their fam
lilies suffering from want. Our farm
ers were without markets; their prod
ucts rotted in their barns; their lands,
teeming with rich harvests, were sold
by the sheriff for debts and taxes. The
tariff which robbed our industries of
protection failed to supply the govern
ment with necessary revenues; the ma
tional treasury, in consequence, was
bankrupt and the credit of the nation
very low. In the first six years after
1884 the revenue fell off 20 per cent, and
the government was obliged to borrow
money at high rates of interest to pay
current expenses.

FACTORIES and Farmers.

Wherever southern manufactures
have been started and sustained, south
ern farmers have changed their modes
of farming. The increased comforts
around them indicate increased profits,
and it is an undoubted fact that their
lands have increased in value not less
than % per cent. Personally ] can tes-
tify, if need be on oath, that having an
iron furnace to the north and to the
south of my farm has increased its mar
ket value so per cent, and that the
profits at this increased value are larger
than before the furnaces were built.
The furnaces have not interfered with
my labor, but by importing labor have
given me more labor. am glad to say
that the market price of labor has been
increased, but with greater profit to
me, Hugh McElderry.

BAT1LEeHIps OF the FUTURE.


The Present Marine Engines of War VIII
Furnish the Model.
The battleship Of the future will,
like all human contrivances, be of
gradual growth, resulting from the
adaptation to her use of improvements
and discoveries in many branches of
science. Under the crucial test of war
it may be found that many mistakes
have been made. If l should venture to
point out one of these, it would be the
multiplicity of devices which every
branch of physical science has contrib
uted to overcrowd our ships. Not that
they do not admirably serve their pur-
pose, but / fear that we, as sailors, are
growing to rely upon them and will be
lost when the rude shock of battle
breaks our electric wires and disar-
ranges the delicate machinery upon
which we now depend in thousand
ways.
In the main, however, venture to
think that the battleship of today has
a sound reason for all her principal
features, and the type will persist. The
stability will continue to be carefully
protected by vertical arnor. Many of
the accidents, both in battle and in
times of peace, to which great ships are
liable, will be diminished by the adop-
ton of liquid fuel. The main battery
will be mounted in turrets furnishing
complete protection to the guns, and as
far as possible to the machinery for
their manipulation, and for the supply
of ammunition. The secondary battery
will be protected in proportion to its
Importance, while every gun position,
with its crew, will be protected against
machine and rapid gun fire. The time
will never come when we shall cease
to demand higher requirements in the
battleship. Fortunately, all require
ments are interchangeable.
Armor may be substituted for guns,
guns for fuel, so that the saving in one
direction may at once be utilized in
another. The advent of hard surfaced
armor will demand that the caliber of
the main battery be maintained, for
until projectiles of greater strength can
be produced, the only way to overcome
Harvey armor is to crush 1t with an
overwhelming blow. In addition to
this it will undoubtedly be found that
all armor under the constantly varying
angles of impact in battle will furnish
greater protection than is considered
possible when judged by the result of
normal impact on the proving ground.
For this reason again, the larger caliber
of the gun must be maintained, and
this, in its turn, determines the great
size Of the battleship Of the future,
subject to the restrictions which have
been indicated. w. T. Sampson, Cap
tain United States Navy, in North
American Review.

singled out as special objects of attack
by the free traders in the interests Of
the foreign farmers of Europe and Can
ada. The only possible chance that the
farmers might have had to employ their
land to good advantage would have
been in raising sugar beet, but even this
opportunity is taken away from them
because it is proposed to kill the sugar
growing industry of this country. The
new tariff bill has been aimed through
out, from alpha to omega, with the
one purpose of destroying whatever is
American and of building up whatever
in un-American and foreign. That is
the policy of the party of free trade,
the party that, unfortunately for this
country, is now in control of its admin
istrative affairs.

The treasures of the Bank of France
are said to be better guarded than those
of any other bank in the world. AT the
close of business hours every day, when
the money is put into the vaults in the
cellar, masons at once wall up the doors
with hydraulic mortar. Water is then
turned on and kept running until the
cellar is flooded. A burglar would have
to work in a diving suit and break down
a cement wall before he could even start
to loot the vaults When the officers
arrive the next morning, the water is
drawn off, the masonry torn down and
the vaults opened. Philadelphia Press.
