Incidence of samoans.

1t seems that the Samoans have de-
veloped a passion for the possession Of

fashion. Instead Of cultivating their
land, they now waste their time trav-

lage to village, and from island to ISL
and, discussing politics" Some Of
these boats pull as many as thirty oars,
and are between seventy and eighty
feet long, while one is being built on
the island Of Savali to measure 100
feet in length. Our consul mentions the
case of a village owning two or three
Of these boats, for which they have
doubtless paid dearly, and where most
of the young men are also owners of

Injuries to the Head.

Injuries to the head may be divided
into three classes: those which affect
the scalp alone, those by which the
skull Is fractured, and those by which
the brain itself is damaged to a greater
or less degree.
Inasmuch as the records Of the civil
war, in which are accounts Of thou
sands of cases, are In favor of stitch
ing all scalp wounds, they should re-
ceive a doctors care as soon as posi-
BILE.
AS rule, injuries to the scalp, II
carefully looked after, will repair at
once, but IL neglected they are exceed
ingly difficult of management. If the
injury Is extensive, the hair should be
removed for a short distance around,
and a clean cloth soaked In fee water
should be placed over the part while
waiting for the physician.
Since shock may accompany the
slightest injury to any part Of the body,
1t Is difficult to say at once whether q

a head wound, is suffering from frac-
ture of the skull, with pressure Of the

Fiddled for Freedom.

Josef Buncizib and his son, Rudi,
Hungarian violinists, arrived recently
in the steerage of the steamer Lain,
from Bremen. They were brought be-
fore the board of special inquiry and
questioned regarding their plans for
earning living in America. Secretary
Smith ordered them to play some mel
ody in order that their ability as mu.
sicians might be demonstrated. The
Hungarians struck up a Hungarian
duet, a most mournful and discordant
air. The members Of the board looked
solemn, and it was evident that the vio-
linists would be sent back.
Suddenly the music ceased, and mo-
ment later the lively air Of ''Daisy Bell'
brought smiles to the faces of every one
In the room. "Any one who can play
Daisy Bell In that style can earn a
living In America" said the secretary

fragments upon the brain, or has sus-
tanned simply conclusion.
AS rule, however, cases Of extensive
fracture are attended by a more pro-
found degree Of collapse than those Of
simple conclusion. The patient Is to-
tally insensible to everything, even to
the utmost efforts made to arouse him.
Fractures OF the base Of the skull,
which are almost Invariably fatal, may
be attended with bleeding from the ears
and nose or mouth.
In all injuries to the head, the pa.
tient should be kept in state Of COM
plete quiet. Iced water should be kept
constantly about the head, and the
room should be somewhat darkened.
The diet should be low in proportion
to the severity of the case, but always
nourishing. The head should be ele-
waited, placed upon the rather firm pill
lows instead of soft ones. The dress
ing about the head should be just
enough to support and protect the
wound from draughts of cold, without
being heating.
No injury to the head, however slight,
should be regarded as unimportant,
since almost any such injury Is liable
to be complicated with mischief to the
brain. For this reason every, wound Of
the head should receive careful atten-
ton at the hands of a competent ply.

time immemorial. The authorities of

Experimental Farms.

The federal government Of Canada
has for some time been taking an active
interest in the improvement Of agri-
cultural methods throughout the prov
inces. There are at present twelve
farms in Canada especially equipped
for this purpose. The central expert
mental farm, which Is situated near
Ottawa, is perhaps the best example
of these stations. 1t comprises about
five hundred acres of land with a COM
plete outfit Of buildings and necessary
machinery. The buildings are especial
ly fitted up for cattle, horses, pigs and
poultry, and all Of these are well
stocked. There Is also dairy equipped
with modern appliances for carrying
on experimental work. The farm also
includes a seed-testing and propagat-
ing house and conservatory. The staff
of workers includes director, an ag-
riculturist, horticulturist, botanist,
an entomologist, a chemist, a poultry
manager. a foreman Of forestry and
several assistants.
