30 England. In September, 1874, Fiji
was proclaimed q British colony, and in
1887 Thurston was made governor.
The Fijians were formerly cannibals,
but the majority of them have been or
are being converted.
The Fijians formerly possessed many
cruel customs, one Of which was the
strangulation of the sick and aged.
These unfortunates were expected to re-
quest this delicate attention at the hands
Of their near relatives, andif they failed
TO do SO the relatives never neglected to
remind them of the duty they owed to
lFijian society. To be strangled or buried
alive by one ) children was considered d
most honorable death. The execution
was preceded BY a joyful wake III which
the victim took q prominent part. This
and many other savage customs have
been done away with owing to the ad-
vent of Christianity.

It Lessons the Chances OF Somebody TAX
ing - Shot at Him. +
"You would naturally think that the
hunter out for game would wear clothes
of soft, u~nobtrusive colors harmonizing
with the landscape, said the veteran
sportsman. "Yet, stalking moose and
deer in the Maine woods, ] select APP
parel pronounced in hue and often wear
q red necktie or hatband. This / do to
lessen the danger of being shot through
mistake.
"Of the great army of hunters that
each fall range the woods OF the Pine
Tree State there are few that will not
sometimes venture o shot into moving
bushes ON the chances that the invisible
object that rustles them may be, a deer.
The fool sportsman, who is largely in
evidence in the shooting season, will do
so every time. II it be a man in the
bushes, any striking colors Of his 5
tune r apt to catch the eye of the one
preparing to fire and prevent the shot
being fired.
''The danger OF alarming game by
such costume! That is not enough to
be taken into account. Everything strik-
ing i'm color is more likely than not to
excite their curiosity and draw them
toward the hunter if he work with prop
en- slowness and caution. Besides that
all the antlered game trust almost
wholly to their senses of hearing and
smelling to warn them of the approach
of danger, and if you can battle these
faculties You need have little fear of
their taking alarm from the sight of
you.
'tBut, speaking of costume, don's
wear black, else every ninny, and even
some experienced sportsman, seeing you
mons the trees, would let drive ut You,
believing he was going to bag a bear. !"

al passenger ON one Of the European
liners made q jocose remark to the cap
tain one night as they were chatting
familiarly IN deck.
"You sen captains, z he said, ssare
the only absolute sovereigns now left In
the world. when the ship leaves port,
your will lie law. Every one on board
yecognizes your supreme authority.
From your decisions there are no APP
peals. Every life is in your keeping.
You are sea kings indeed.
mo, We are bondmen of the conn
pany managers, was the bluff old cap
tain's reply. 1--WE are under obliga-
tions to make fast runs, yet never to
take any risks. 1t is no longer possible
for the captain OF a first class liner t.
exercise discretion.
why, ON my last run across the At
lantic, " he continued, rapidly warming
up, 81 had bad weather nearly all the
way. When the wind was not blowing
q gale, there was dense fog, and ] didn't
dare to run at full speed. The ship was
36 hours behind time in reaching New
York"
The captain and the passenger were
intimate friends and talked without re-
straint.
81 went TO the main Office, the cap
tain continued, land was received cold
" by the manager. He told me that ]
had made a very poor run. 1 tried 20
explain how bad the weather had been,
but he listened impatiently. He re.
minded me that other ships leaving
England ON the same day had arrived
much earlier, although they must have
had similar weather. He said that the
day for cautious, old fashioned captains
had gone by. The reputation OF . ship
for speed must be maintained, and cap
tains must be brisk and wide awake, or
their usefulness would be at an end.
"tYou may have noticed, = the captain
added after apause, that we have been
running dc full speed all day in q heavy
fog. Your king has been profiting by
the repEimand which he received, and
he hasn't known q comfortable moment
until the fog lifted an hour ago.
$50 you see that the kings Of the sea
are the managers bondmen. If they
are cautious and avoid risks, they are
considered sleepy and slow. II they are
yenturesome and the ship goes wrong,
then they are condemned ~ foolhardy.

What Makes Cut worms.

The Cave City. Correspondent of the
Glasgow Times writes:g g
In your last issue / noticed an
item from the pen of your valuable
Hiseville correspondent suggesting
Mr.. Jones, of Coral Hill, and myself
as being competent men to ascertain
what makes cut worms. In replying
to his request, l say that made a
very satisfactory investigation of the
subject several years ago. l filled a
box about half full of earth and put
a piece of glass over it. In this box
| put lot of cut worms and fed them
regularly on such green food as they
seemed to prefer (enion tops and
young corn). About the last of May
the worms ceased to eat entirely, and
on examination / found that they
had imbedded themselves in the soil
and were encasing themselves in a
thin, shell-like substance. In this CO
coon state they remained until the
middle or latter part of August, when
they came out full fedged millers,
about the size of those that are seen
flying around lamps at night. They
varied very much in color, some be-
ing light grey, some dark grey, brown
and creamy white. The mission of
these millers is certainly very plain,
as they lay the eggs from which are
Matched the next crop of cut worms.
These millers are very frail and del
icate and entirely incompetent 10 de-
post their eggs at any depth in the
soil hence they must lay them near
the surface, and the most logical con
clusion is that the eggs don't hatch
until near the middle of spring in our
latitude; at least we never notice
worms until the latter part of March
or first of April in any great numbers.
In view of these facts, then it explodes
the theory that turning the soil in the
fall or early winter will destroy the
cut worms, for if the eggs were turned
under several inches, they would no
doubt hatchas well ashley would near
the surface. w. A. III.
