Housekeeping MT Samoa.

Mrs. Robert Louis Stevenson says that
housekeeping in Samoa was not SO idyl-
lie as it might seem. Her supplies came
from New Zealand or Australia once a
month, so that if she wanted bottle of
bluing or bag Of flour, for instance,
she had to send half across the Pacific to
get it. The native diet was all well
enough for few weeks, but as it con-
sisted almost solely Of fruit and fish it
began to pail on European palates.
Housekeeping in this South Sea paradise
(of romances) had other drawb backs, par
ticularly in the matter of expense,
which was fully six or seven times as
great, Mrs. Stevenson says, as living on
q corresponding scale in San Francisco.
As for society, there's more of it to the
square inch in Samoa than i'll any other
place l know" says Mrs. Stevenson, but
it appears to be largely Of the living
picture kind.

The Landslide states.

Chicago Chronicle.
In those states which gave the
largest republican majorities in 1894
the greatest popular discomfort pre-
walls. In the legislatures Of what
may be called the Landslide" states
from the overwhelming extent Of
the republican majorities--the issue
of power was fragrant and scandal
Gus. Corruption under gang and
Doodle rule was everywhere.
In Illinois the facts have come
home to the people through the proc
lamation of Gov. Altgeld in calling q
special session and through the press
OF both parties. No previous gen.
eral assembly at Springfield was so
profligate. so recreant to the public
duty. so thoroughly under the con-
troll OF CORPORATION influences.
The same cid story comes from
other states in the Landslide" list.
The New York legislature was as bad
as that OF Il!inois-as partisan, as
corrupt. as much under lobby con-
troll. 1t was worse in one respect.
Two hostile republican factions
Platt and anti-Platt-werc engaged
in constant struggle. for superior
ity. and public interests were sacri-
feed in the interests of factions. In
Illinois the lines OF republican fac
tions were obliterated in the scram-
BILE and riot to obtain possession OF
spoils and brides.
In Indiana. Michigan, Wisconsin
and other western states where re-
publican legislatures were inspired
by belief that the landslide" ma
Jorities by which they were elected
clothed them with immunity from
popular judgment and condemna-
ton, the fruits Of the sessions have
been the same. The Hobbies Of the
corporation and other corrupt influ-
ences controlled everything. There
was little wise legislation. Qucs-
lions OF reform in revenue and the
collection Of taxes. of reform in the
administration Of justice. affecting
labor and the conflict to establish its
rights and the general good were
neglected and abandoned. Every
call to action on these grave subjects
oflegislation was disobeyed and rel u
dated.
Republican leaders, the bosses. the
politicians, believed that their
sweeping victories in the most Of the
states assured them long lease OF
power. The misuse they have made
OF their victory has everywhere ex-
cited popular condemnation. This
sentiment is expressed in Illinois by
general.approval Of Gov. Altgeld's
call for special session. In states
with republican governors no such
relief is in sight. --------

Col. TAYLOR, the repentant South

Col. TAYLOR, the repentant South
Dakota defaulter. says il it had not
been for the panic he wouldn't have
got into trouble. He borrowed"
the states funds so that he might
help his friends tide over financial
difficulties, and they were unable to
repay him. The panic of 1898 has
been used to cover a multitude of
sins, but widespread as it was, there
wasn't enough OF it to cover Col.
Taylor's. Instead of laying most Of
the blame for his downfall on the
panic. with an incidental thrust at
his friends, Col. Taylor should place
it ali where it belongs. and that is
on his own broad shoulders. II he
cannot bring himself to the point OF
doing that, he should do the next
best thins-saw wood and say
nothing.

Reader, did you ever take SIMMONS
LIVER REGULATOR, the "KINo OF
LIVER MEDICINES ?" Everybody needs
take a liver remedy. It is sluggish or
diseased liver that impairs digestion
and causes constipation, when the waste
that should be carried off remains in
the body and poisons the whole system.
That dull, heavy feeling is due to
torpid liver. Biliousness, Headache,
Malaria and Indigestion are all liver
diseases. Keep the liver active by an
occasional dose Of Simmons Liver Reg
ulator and you'll get rid of these trou-
bles, and give tone to the whole sys-

REFORMS IN TURKEY.
Every Kind of Physical Torture VIII
 Socn Bc Abolished.

FVeTy hfnO or InySlCaI nAi
 Socn He Abolished.
 The general plan proposed by Eng land, Russia and France for reform in the provinces of Turkey follows sug- yestions that have been made from time to time, chief among which are the appointment of high commission CT, general amnesty for crimes and offenses other than those against the common Jaw, the rehearing of certain trials, the stopping of pending political trials, the release of prisoners and the appointment of commission to sit at Constantinople and be associated with the high commissioner in super vising the reforms, says Harper's Weekly.
 Somewhat more in detail the reform CTS arc divided into three sections. The administrative reforms include the ap- pointment of Mohammedan and Chris tian governors and vice-governors in the provinces of Turkey east of Sivas for terms of five years and with the ap- proval of the powers. This is recon mended rather than required. The financial reforms include the collection of taxes by municipal agents instead of by soldiers or by treasury agents. The taxes are to be paid into the treasury of the district receiver, to be forwarded to the departmental receiver, and in turn to the recciver-general. Each body, however, is to retain in its treas ury enough to cover the expenses of local administration. The judicial re- forms extend the powers of the magis- trates, and the procedure in the courts of first instance will be established on more regular footing. Aspecial com mission is to see that no Turkish sub feet is imprisoned without regular war rant of arrest, and also that the accused is to be examined within the period prescribed by law and released with out delay in the event of acquittal.
 Every kind of physical torture is to be abandoned. The number of Chris tian judges is to be increased in propor- ton to the number of Christian inhab- itants in any district. There is also to be mixed gendarmerie, recruited in equal numbers from Mohammedans and Christians. The Kurds arc to be re- tained in the Hamidich cavalry, but are to keep their arms during the periods of exercise only; at other times the weapons are to be stored at the depots guarded by regular troops. Another clause provides that the government shall enforce the legal provisions with regard to religious confession and in- sure perfect freedom of rel: isous belief.

Africans and the Steamboat.

They were perfectly frantic with mingled dread and curiosity at sight of the steamer. They shouted and danced and waved their arms in imitation of our revolving stern wheel. They fol- lowed us, running along the banks for miles together. Occasionally some spe- cially brave ones would rush out into the water to have long, unobstructed look at us The expression on the countenances of the natives on the shores would make the fortune of an actor who could initiate it. They would stand with their bodies partly turned away, in order to dart into the bush at the slightest indication of danger, over whelmed with awe and inquisitiveness, a few only daring to laugh, while the whole river echoed with their exclama- tions of astonishment and their crazy shouts. When the steamers whistle was blown the hundreds who had collected on the bank at once stam- peded pell-mell over each other and into the wood and tall grass. Our men greeted them with shouts of laughter and calls to come back; but it was to no purpose: they would not again come so near.

4 Horrible Story of the Sea.

One of tho most grewsome tales dug up out of the misty past is that told by
 the York (Mc.) Courant of the wreck
 of the Nottingham Galley on Boon island. This vessel, which was bound to Boston from London, was driven on the island in terrible gale on the night of December II, 1719. The wealth CT was so dreadful that some of the suf- fercrs soon died. There was nothing to eat bat shreds of raw hide, rockweed and few mussels. After few days two of the men attempted to get to
 York on raft but were drowned. At last the hunger of the survivors became so raging that they ate some of the flesh of their dead comrades and, hav- ing no fire, must perforce swallow it raw. Immediately their dispositions,
 which had been kind and helpful, seemed to undergo total change. In- stead of praying they began to swear and quarrcls commenced. At last, after twenty-three days of this horrible life, they were rescued, being then mere skeletons and unable to walk. A light house was erected on the island in 1911.
