HIGH LIFE AMONG THE. sAMoANs.
Mrs. stevensOn's Experiences in the
south Sen Isle.


From the San Francisco Examiner.
Mrs Robert Louis Stevenson has whole
lot of interesting things to say about
Samoan women and Samoan society and
Samoan housekeeping. and Samoan clothes
and all the other things women love to
hear about.
Samoan housekeeping isn't so simple
as it sounds" says Mrs. Stevenson. "You
have to get all your supplies from New
Zealand or Australia every month Think
of sending half across the Pacific for bot
tie OF bluing and bag Oh -four, and you'n
have some idea of the sort of times we
have down there when it comes to keep
ing house.
"Of course you grow a lot of things
that are good to eat, but they re mostly
luxures. The necessities you have to buy.
1t takes native to live on poi and ba-
nanas. White people can't stand that.
1.-The Mormon missionaries that have
gone down there of late are trying to live
on native diet, and they're in a dreadful
state I've only seen the women, but,
dear me, the women are really ghosts, as
far as appearances go. They say theyr
i'll, and that they wish they could eat
something besides fish and fruit-but their
rules forbid them that. you know"
THE servant problem?"
mo, we don't have that. The reason is
that we don't have any servants We
have families. If you want a cook you let
your wants be known, and you'll be be-
sieged with applicants. When you see one
you really like you say: Now, if you'll be
a good boy, and do so and So and then YOU
tell him what you expect him to do.don't
you know, I'll let you be in my family,
and l will allow you so much a month for
spending money
IF you called the money you give your
family for spending money wages they
would all leave you in a body They are
excellent help. They do a great deal of
work and do it well, and they are devoted
and faithful. But you cannot call them
servants or treat them like servants.
1T costs money to live in Samoa, no
matter what you hear to the contrary.
How much? All, just about six or seven
times as much as 1t takes to live here We
don't have to spend much money on dress
there. to be sure, but when you have to
go 100 miles TO buy a pair of shoes and
just as far for new hat things begin TO
get complicated.
Society? There's more society to the
square inch in Samoa than in any other
place I know.
white? Oh, no. There's very little white
society-only a few official families, just a
little handful of psople-and there really
isn't time for many afternoon teas and
things of that sort. But society-plenty OF
IT, and very aristocratic, society, too.
You can't be a society belle unless You
have first of all, good blood. Unless you
belong to an old. well-known family of the
high rank you are not in Samoan society,
no matter how pretty you are.
Then you must be well Up in etiquette.

RELIC OF PEREGRINUs.
History of the Snint and How His
Body Came TO he Transferred 10
America.

America.
From the New York Herald.
Readers of the Herald will remember
that last Good Friday, of all days in the
year, there arrived here, on North Ger
man Lloyd steamer, the mortal remains
of Peregrinus, saint and martyr He was
coffined in a pine box, scaled and pad
locked. The custom house authorities
would have violated the sanctities of these
seals but for the Interference of Father
Gerard Spielman, o. S. B., to whom the
relic had been confided
He explained to the inspector Of GUS
toms that the canon rule required that
the seals of a sacred relic should be bro
ken only In the presence of the highest
ecclesiastical authorities, whose duty it
was to pronounce upon its genuineness
The inspector yielded without a murmIr,
and the saint was duly installed in the
rectory of St. Anselms church. at One
Hundred and Fifty-third street and TIN
ton avenue, awaiting the time when Arch
bishop Corrigan should have examined all
documents, authenticated the relic and
approved of it's being exposed to public
veneration in the church itself.
These details have now been compiled
with. The relic has passed the sever
est scrutiny, us history mas Deen NeflUeu
and its genuineness established beyond n
doubt. SO the saint now occupies an al
tar in the basement Of the still unfinished
church. When that edifice is completed
it will have a shrine especially built for it.
The body is in an excellent state of pres
ervation. The face although nothing of
course but dried skin and bone presents an
appearance that is not at all CHASTITY or
repulsive and the glinmer of a smile.
pleasant and gracious, Is perceptible 1t
wears gorgeous raiment of silk, decora-
ted with Jewels which were made for il
in 1871 and are of the fashion of that pc
riod rather than Of the time when Pere-
grinus actually flourished. In the right
hand is the palm embematic of martyr
dom, in the left a tiny flask containing
a few drops Of the saints blood dried TO a
mere dust and on the head a silver dia-
dem inlaid with jewels. The shoes are of
fur, and are not unlike Indian moccasfns.
This is the first genuine entire body of
a saint ever brought to this country, al
though, of course, there are already
plenty of relics here in the shape of pieces
of saints and certain of their belongings.
st. Peregrnus was martyred in Rome by
Emperor Commodus in A. d. 1856. He was
only II years old but he did not finch
while his body was stretched out on the
rack, torn with iron hooks, beaten with
clubs and burned with torches applied TO
his sides
He breathed his last utterlng the praises
of his Saviour.
The Christians obtained his body. and
buried It in the Catacombs. There 1t re-
manned until it was removed, to the old
Benedictine Monastery at Neustadt, Da-
varia.
The fourth Sunday after Easter was
celebrated as the fete day of the saint in
Bavaria, and great crowds would come and
visit his shrine from all parts Of the coun-
try.
The Benedictines were driven from Ba-
varia early in this century. Their monas-
terry and fertile lands were conhscated. La

CHAPTER VIII

In one OF the darkest parts OF Pearl
street. New York, asection OF the street
made dark by the elevated railroad, not
great way from tho Battery, there Is
an old-fashioned building which doubt
less has history OF its own, but which
was many years ago converted into mer-
camille Offices Not SO very long since.
on the glass door OF room on the sec
ond floor. tho following lettering might
have been read limerick & Co.
South American Merchant" On the
left-hand corner was printed In smaller
letters: Julius limerick, and on tho
right was tho name Henry Howe. In
dicating that these were tho names OF
the Two partners in the firm.
Inside this room. seated at his desk In
n private Office partitioued OF with
glass, sat Julius limerick. tho senior
member OF tho firm. Il was tho after
noon OF the day on which that gentle
man had made hurried departure from
Long Branch. HIS sudden return bad
upset the calculations OF the clerks
and two out OF the three whom the firm
employed were away 70 a baseball
game At Staten Island. The discovery
OF this fact when he came down TO tho
Office after lunch had lrritated Mr.. En-
erick beyond measure, and the solitary
clerk who had been left In charge was
having rather unpleasant time OF IL
with his employer. limerick was natur-
ally en- irritable man, and to-day he
acted In an excessively disagreeable
manner.
''Gooch." he called out TO the clerk.
''Sirp~ was the submissive response.
