Mr.. NJ. NJ. Fry, president of
the school board, has called a meet
ing of the taxpayers and voters of
the district to meet at the school
room, in the Hummer building, to-
night at 1870 O'clock, to consider the
question Of paying off by the dis
trict two notes given by former
board of trustees to pay for school
furniture. One Of these notes is
due now and the other on Oct. 10,
'96. 1t is claimed that the school
board is bound by the resolution
by which the special tax was voted
to pay off both notes out of that
fund, or, at least, to pay off the
note now due and retain sufficient
Of that fund in the treasury to meet
the other note when it becomes due.
There is a disposition in certain
quarters to question the legality Of
this debt altogether. Those who
do question it, claim that they can
duplicate the bill for one half the
origional cost, and they think the
furniture company should be forced
to settlement at reasonable basis
to say the least The origional cost
was $595.90. The interest and
principle on the 10th day of this
month amounted to $729.9S.

Old Samoan Ways.

The Samoans are physically 8 splen- didly made race of deep bronze color. Their hair is naturally black, but is converted by frequent dressings of lime, which have bleaching effect, to dull reddish tint. This custom obtains both with the men and the women. Tffeir arms and chests are specially we'll devel- oped from their habit of padding long distances in their canoes from island to island-in fact, at so great distances from the mainland were these natives seen by early travellers, that this group was christened the Navigator islands. At this time, too, travellers reported that the Samoans wore fine black skeins reaching from the waist to a short dis tance above the knee. This report, though without foundation in fact, was due to the custom possessed by these people of tattooing themselves after that fashion, covering about the same part of the body as would pair of our bath ing drawers.
 All the men are thus tattooed on ar irving at maturity, and are not allowed to take unto themselves wives before the painful process is complete. Regular professional tattooers are found among the people, and the tattooing often oc- cupies some months, as the patient only undergoes as much as he can bear at each operation. The designs tattooed are very ancient, and the present gener- ations are entirely ignorant of their sig nifcation. This latter fact applies also to the words of their rowing songs, which they sing in perfect harmony and in time to their oars or paddles; the words sung are now obsolete, and, like the tattooed designs, are not understood by the people. e.-Westminster Review.

REFUSED St2,Jo IN COLL.
Circumstances In Which It Looked as if
 the Money Might Be a Burden.

James Clark of Old Town knows a good story in connection wish the sinking of the steamship Pacific in the straits of Juan de Fuca in 1875, of which the only survivor was Neil Henley, now of Tacoma. MT. Henley floated around for hours on a raft after the Pacific was struck by the bark Orpheus. With him on the raft was a man named William Sampson, who became ex- hausted and sank, Mir. Clark says, with between $10, 1000 and s12, ,0oo in belt around his body. The fact that Sampson had the gold on his person was known to Mr. Clark and few others only, and it has never been published.
 Clark and Sampson werc miners togeth- CT on the Yukon river in Alaska The mining claim was a rich one and was known in the Yukon district as the Three to One. It was so called because tho party that mined and owned it was con- posed of three white men and a Chinese They returned to Victoria to spend the first winter after taking out about s, 900 apiece in gold, and the next spring when they went back to open up the mine again they found that the floods had swept away all their machinery and they would have to spend considerable part of the season In making and putting in new machinery to handle the placer deposits. Sampson DcNShlc anu SOlu IlS in the diggings to his partners for about s, oG0 and returned to Victoria. The Three to One made money that season the same as tho season before.
 Shortly after Sampson returned to Vic toria he shipped on the steamer Pacific, intending to go to San Francisco. He put the gold in O belt around his body, as was the custom in those days. The raft on which he and Henley floated was in reality a chicken coop. Sampson felt he could not last much longer in the heavy sea, which rolled the coop fearfully, and he begged Henley to take the gold. The latter, feel ing that he would never live to set foot on shore again, refused to take the belt, and down it went with poor Sampson to the bottom of the sea. Henley was soon picked up. The next day, though, he regretted the loss of his companion on the chicken coop. He also deplored that he had not taken the proffered belt with its burden of gold.-Tacoma News.

Where His Bravery Forxoox Him.

 He had tramped the wilds of Africa and seen tho wild giraffe And had gazed on lions fierce with greatest brashness; He had listened with tranquility to the striped hyena's laugh And faced tigers with a courage that was raShneSs. He had scrapped with big prizefghters in the zenith of their fame And had fought a dozen duels with the great est of temerity; He had entered burning buildings and saved women from the flame And had swum Niagara's rapids with celer- ity. He'd played quarter back at football and had come out safe and sound And had waded through gunpowder with a candle that was lighted; He had rescued prisoned miners in the cav serns underground, And in scenes of slaughter he was much de- lighted. When no one knew just how the cloth that's bullet proof would work He had worn it while the maker experiment. ed; There was scarcely known danger his cour- ageous heart would shirk, And the more the risk, tke more he was con tented But one bargain day while sauntering past mammoth dry goods store, When the weather was a-sweltering and a-simmering,

A Tea Sorting Machine.

Some interest has been created by the announcement that n tea sorting machine has been invented in India. From the de- scription given this machine consists of two angular steel frames measuring feet long at the sop and 911 feet at the base, standing 2H feet high, placed opposite each other and staid together two feet apart. Between these operate with a re- ciprocating motion two long light steel frames, which are the sifters, placed one above tho other, these working on four oscillating levers, securely fastened to the angle steel frame inside at four points by strong case hardened pins, upon which they act from the center. The upper sitter is firmly secured by trunnion brackets on the side to the levers at the top, and tho lower one in the same way underneath. Both sifters have an independent action and work in opposite directions at loo to 14o revolutions per minute.

And the Stranger Was Given Fair Warn
 ing by Her Husband.

One day as was toiling up a rough trail road in tho Cumberland mountains of Tennessee l encountered a man or horseback just os he turned in from an other trail AS we were going the same way, we jogged along together, and after some general talk he observcd:
 Stranger, I want to ask yo' a question plumb center, and if yo' don't feel like an swerin it I shan't be put out"
 Well, go ahead"
 "kin yo' read print?'
 "Yes, fairly we'll"
 'Kin yo' read writinf
 "Yes"
 "Kin yo' figgers'
 "Yes."
 We logged along in silence for the next 10 rods and then he said:
 Stranger, I'm Twin two miles farther on. I'd like to hev yo' stop at my cabin and settle dispute"
 "Ishouldn't like to get mixed up in any quarrel, you know"
 "Oh, of co'se notl It's a dispute be- tween men my wife, and we've bin a-lookin fur somebody to settle 1t fur the last three months. Yo' won't git into trouble about it. We don't spell nor figge1 nor pronounce words jest alike, and l reckon yo' kin set us straight"
 When we reached his cabin, I was ten dered a sip from the jug and introduced to his wife, who was a middle aged wom. an of great firmness of character. The husband explained that we had met acci- dentally, and he asked me to act as referee and added:
 Now, stranger, how do yo' spell dawgS"
 "There Is no such word as dawg. It is dog"
 But how do you spell it'"
 ''Why, dog, dog. How do you spell
 II don't go fur to consider to reckon I'm much of a speller, but git d and an 'o' and an IT. and g in thar sum- whars."
 That would be spelling it 'd-o-r-g."
 "Yes"
 And how do you saell its" quericd of tho wife.
 "I say it's a d-sw-g." she replied in surly manner.
 "You mean dog-an animals"
 "Of co'se I dol Two spelled 1t that way for 20 y'ars, and know I'm rightl"
 But that isn't according to the Eng fish language, ma a'am."
 II don't keer fur no English language" she snapped as she rose up and entered the house.
 was nbout to say I hoped hadn't of- tended her, when the husband arose and pulled the door to and got Q good grip on the handlo and whispered:
 Stranger, I'll try to hold the door till yo' git outer shootin distance, but yo' must hurry"
 Why, what's the matter'"
 "The matter is that my wife is rather sot in her ways, pertickerly on spellin, and I kin hear her pourin shot and powder into tho birdgunl Stranger, I'm sorry to hev yo' go this way, but dawggone my dorg if yo' and your dog hain't got to hus- tic or go out of the spellin book businessi"
 When made the turn in tho road, he was still holding the door, but I saw something that looked like n woman climbing out of one of tho side windows with a gun in her hand.-Detroit Free
