lishman says he once went to see the
landlord about some matter connected
with the house which he had hired.
The Frenchman proved to be very
suspicious and inquisitive old gentle
man, who had made his fortune in the
candle trade.
"What do you sell?" he inquired.
The Englishman acknowledged that
he made his bread by writing for the
magazines. The landlord shrugged
his shoulders.
ST am afraid" said he, "that you
will not be exact with your rent on the
fifteenth of the month" "
He evidently had fashioned no.
tions of literature, as we'll as other
arts, and preferred that his tenants
should be, like himself, comfortably
in trade. So in order to vindicate his
vocation, the Englishman went in per-
son to call upon his landlord on the

THE SAMOAN AT HOME,
When Not at War They Lead Very Easy
and Agreeable Lives.


When native Samoans are not at
war they seem to foreigners to have O
very easy and agreeable life. There
is never very much to do, and what
there is is not arduous or tiring. The
old women, for instance, braid mats,
or sit upon the rocks and beat and
strip the bark for making tapa, the
native cloth. The brewing and per.
fuming of cocoanut oil is another in
dustry in which women play a prom
inent part. The men spend much
of their time in making fishing nets
and tackle.
In spite of the simplicity of the ma
tional attire, the Samoans are rather
vain and spend good deal of time in
beautifying themselves. The hair is
often plastered with white lime, CIV
ing it, when dry, the effect of a white
wig The lime is washed off by night.
The result is a gradual change in the
color of the hair from red to a
bright yellow. Apart from this
strange fancy the Samoans quite share
the European ideas in regard to
beauty. They particularly admire
tall persons.
The common dress for men and
women is simple kilt, the manner
of whose adjustment seems to for
eigners nothing short of miraculous.
The natives seem to have no difficulty,
however, in keeping the garment in
place. The children are less sure of
themselves and often lose the bit of
calico that serves as outdoor costume.
The brown babies wear no clothing at
all.
A fad of the young man of Samoa is
to wear the name of his sweetheart
tattooed upon the forearm. AS the
Samoan wears no sleeves this orna-
ment is always visible, and he is very
proud of it, which is easily under
stood, as the young lady herself al
ways does the tattooing, 1t being i'm
possible to intrust to professional
workman task so full of sentiment.

1t is always customary with farmers
who feed much corn to fattening hogs,
to give them little charcoal daily, to
correct acidity arising from it's fer
mentation in the stomach. IT is fire.
quently taken from the wood stove,
using the remains of fires that have
died down before the wood was wholly
converted into carbonic gas and ashes.
1t is the ashes mixed with this charred
wood which corrects acidity of the
stomach. As for the coal itself, it is
onlypartly burned vegetable fibre, and
even when charred it cannot furnish
more nutriment than would be found
in sawdust from the same kind of
wood. Charred grain, of which only
the outer husk is vegetable fibre, is
much better, ahd by charring carefully
it can be fed in quite large amounts
with decided advantage, as it is quite
fattening, besides not being likely to
cause souring of the stomach. If pop
corn is not thoroughly dried, many of
the grains will not open showing the
heecy whiteness Of the starch they
contain, and as these grains will nat
urally fall to the bottom of the pepper
they are likely to be burned. Both
hens and fattening hogs will eat these
charred grains with great avidity. A
still better grain to char is the oat, as
it contains more of the strength Civ
ing and egg producing nutrition than
does corn. In charring oats for hens
and we think also for hogs, it is best
to expose the grain to enough heat to
burn off part of the husk of the grain.
The oats will then be eaten with avid
ity, and if the grain is itself charred
it will be a heterogeneous charcoal from
which the more easily burned carbon
has been removed.
In extreme cases, as when a horse
has collie or COW has bloated, grain
that is pretty thoroughly charred may
be given, but only in small amounts,
and to restore tone to the stomach. 1t
should not be continued nor given
very often, as the effect of potash
which the charred grain contains is to
debilitate the stomach instead of to
strengthen it. We never gave charred
grain except very rarely to any aui-
mails except what we were fattening,
and then only to correct evils of diet,
which we learned afterwards to avoid.
A few weeks before fattening hogs
were to be killed, it makes them fatten
better to give them some charred grain
with their other food But we would
not give charcoal to breeding SOW or
to any other animal that we meant to

The world is so surfeited with ma,

failures as evolution in animals-at

About Cold Storage Game.

DR.. Robert 7. Morris has con-
tributed valuable testimony to the
movement against the use of cold
storage game. 1t is proved that the
selling by restaurants of frozen game
results in much greater slaughter of
birds than would be the case if only
enough were shot to supply the mar
ket during the open season. Frozen
game is distinctly inferior to fresh
birds. 1t lacks juiciness, while being
so fiat in taste that any one with a
normal palate and the slightest
knowledge of game can tell the diff
ference at the first mouthful. 1t is
now recognized that cold storage
game is not served at any decent
restaurant, as its lost favor keeps
away the most desirable class of
patrons. DR.. Morris proposes that
every first-class restaurant will find
it to its advantage to state on the
menu that no cold storage game is
served, to imperil the stomachs of its
guests. Chicago Record.

zard of hen is so strong that it prob
ably does no harm to punish it with
some charred oats, which with the hull
burned off are as good as wheat, and
are perhaps even better. In the cold
est weather in winter we have fed
charred oats to both fattening hogs
and to poultry while the grain was

for this warmed grain, yet it is proba-
bly, really no better for them than if
the grain were eaten cold Taking
