BUILDING UP A MISSION.
Bishop selwyn's Methods In Dealing With
the Untutored Savage.

Bishop Selwyn's Methods In Dealing With
the Untutored Savage.
The method employed by Bishop Selwyn
of New Zealand in dealing with the saw
ages of the islands of the Pacific ocean is
described by the Rev. II. h. Haweis in his
book, Travel and Talk. On nearing
new island boat was lowered and rowed
within hailing distance of the shore, which
soon became crowded with sayages, often
fourishing spears and clubs. The bishop
then stood up and held out beads, calico and
looking glasses. and then jumped into the
sea and swan ashore
Putting his arm on the shoulder of the
chief or any other savage he would lean
confdingly upon him and mix freely with
the thronging and amazed crowd, first
having presented the chief with beads and
a tomahawk as a sign of good will and
peaceful surrender OF arms
The chief with native courtesy could
then order the warlike symbol TO be taken
to the rear in token of friendly acceptance
of the overtures The bishop would then
sit down and practice on them all the
words he knew. Shortly after this he
would embark and revisit next year with
more beads and looking glasses, and II

"Well, Eli, what a question to ask a

NEW CYCLING BOOT.
1t IA For Girls and Is Considered the
"Only" Thing.

The very latest thing in bicycle foot
wear is the golf stocking shoe, or rath-
er boot for il reaches TO the knee. 1t is
just the thing for the early season. and
its popularity is already assured. The
top is made OF a firm, unyielding wool
en- cloth in quiet colors, either plain or
plaided. The back and front are re-en-
forced with a strip of leather, which
preserves the contour and prevents the
cloth from wrinkling.
The top is finished with three inch
fold of the cloth, turned over in simula-
tion of the regular golf stocking. The
vamp is shaped like an oxford tie and is
of leather, in either tan or chocolate.
The boot laces TO the ankle and is tas-
tened the rest of the way with the Pratt
fasteners.
The soles are thick and corrugated,
and the heel is moderately high. The
! one defect in the boot Is that the cloth
wrinkles over the ankles and makes
! them look big and clumsy. The cloth Is
guaranteed not to stretch with wear, but
for all that it is advisable to get al
close a fit as possible.
A still "sweller" looking boot of thu
same kind has fancy scalloped vamp
and the turned down fold at the top i
finished with three tiny leather strap
and leather covered buckles. A broa'
elastic band is fastened to the inside O
the fold and helps to keep the boot L
place. Chicago Times Herald.
