Incidence of Samoans.

1t seems that the Samoans have de-
veloped passion for the possession Of
large rowing boats built in European
fashion. Instead of cultivating their
land, they now waste their time trav-
cling about in these vessels from vii
lagc 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 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
weedy pony or equally useless horse.
The land on which their village stands
is mortgaged, and is advertised for
sale. Yet. instead of making any at
tempt to raise money TO pay off tho
tri1ing sum required, they have for
the last four months been playing, al
most weekly, cricket matches with
thirty or forty players side, for stakes
consisting of pigs and kegs Of salt beef,
to the accompaniment of band of saw
age music. The consul believes the
amount of money expended on cricket
in this village since February would
have paid Off, not only the interest,
but large part of the principal of
the mortgage.-London News.

The Speed Of Lig ht.

Watch the express train as it
dashes past you with the speed of
sixty miles per hour, and, after it is
in the distance, sit down on the
track and figure little on the ve-
locity of light. The train has passed
with a mighty rush and great noise,
but the silent beam of light flies past
with speed II ,l79, $50 times greater.
The initial velocity Of ball fired
from 12-pounder is ,765 feet pei
second; that of light, l $50, l34 feet
in the same length Of time. Com
parsons give us but very poor idea
of the velocity, but they enable us tc
partially comprehend the immensity
of the universe, for we know that,
with all it's prodigious speed, it takes
light four hours to fash from Nep,

Cultivate Your Child's Teacher.


The first thing to do Is to visit the
school which your children attend.
Make point Of this, even II 1t means
n sacrifice Of something else, writes
Edward w. Box in an article on our
Schools. and Our Teachers" in the La
dies Home Journal. Few things can
be more important than to see for your
self the surroundings Of your child dur
ing school hours Observe quietly yet
keenly, but remember that any observa-
tions or comments you have to make,
the teacher of the class in which your
child happens to be is not the proper
person to whom to make them. Ihe
principal of the school or the superin-
tendent Is the proper functionary for
such purposes. The teacher Is helpless;
she must accept conditions as she finds
them She is an employe, pure and sim
nle But seek her out and win her ac-
ouaintance and confidence. Show her
that you yearn to cooperate with her.
She knows that the best results can
ONLY be obtained when teacher and par
ent cooperate. Invite her to your home
mot in general way, but at definite
time Make her feel that you want her
to be something more than the teacher
of your child. Make a friend Of her il
YOU can; at least give her the opportuni-
ty to show that she has another side to
her nature than that which she shows
in the classroom. The teachers burden

An UnsinkabIe Boat.

A German engineer has invented
an arrangement of floating tubes
with view to prevent small boats
from sinking. The tubes are in
tended to be employed in manner

fulfil this intention by keeping even

sons in the water can support them
selves by means OF the tubes. The
latter can be readily attached to life.

COL. HO0KER's SPEECH.

Last Tuesday night Col. Charles E,
Hooker, OF Kinds county, candidate
for United States Senator, addressed
the people Of Scranton and vicinity
on the all-absorbing money question.
The well-known abilities of Colonel
Hooker as a profound student Of po-
litieal economy and a sound thinker
and reasoner, coupled with his great
~oratorical powers is sufficient to draw
large crowds to hear him, however
prosy the subject may be. We all
know that the discussion OF finance is
as dry and as tedious and tasteless a
subject as can be imagined, but not
withstanding this and the extreme
warm weather he held his audience,
composed of ladies and gentlemen.
throughout a speech Of two hours and
and a half.
Col. Hooker is an advocate Of silver
as the standard money of the country,
and wants the government to give
back to the people the silver dollar Of
our fathers, saying that with this
money this republic prospered as it
never has since. 1t was, said he, good
enough for Washington and the other
Presidents down to Buchanan, and it
is good enough for us. He wanted the
coinage Of both silver and gold, re-
serving, Of course, their parity. lie,
like all speakers on his side of the
question, attributed the long financial
depression, the stoppage Of almost
every industry and the low price of
cotton and other products of the
to the decentralization of sill
yer, and the reconciliation OF the
white metal would again bring pros
)erity to our shores.
In 1870, the speaker went on to say.
here were but three countries in the
world that did not have free coinage.
Which was full legal tender that the
onspiracy to demonetize silver began
t the Paris conference in 1867, and
allied to mind the prophecies of emf
Ient scientists that dire distress
you'd surely follow such a course, and
hat these predictions had been liter
lily fulfilled +; that the crime of 1873
vas enacted by fraud and substitu-
ion.
We would like to review the speech
It greater length, but time and space
orbids. While we do not agree with
lie distinguished Apostle of silver
n all he said regarding it, candor
'ompels us to admit that he brought
onward strong argument in favor of
he faith that is within him, and
doubtless carried his auditors with
Inn from the frequent outbursts of
pplause. However, these demonstra-
ions of approval were, in some meas
re, prompted by the esteem in Which
he speaker is held by the people here
f and not altogether for the u he
eprcScnts. If the question of who
hould succeed Senator George in the
)nlted Senate were left to the pco-
lie OF the coast Col. Hooker would be
he man. '
Before leaving the stand Col. Hook
n, in language both elegant and Z
haste, paid a glowing tribute to
