Where They Hang Out.

New Orleans Times Democrat: q was traVeiing through thinly settled district up the country some time ago j" said a drummer who can't tell a lie when he sees one, and had occasion ~to stop at small town off the line of the road. The only vehicle I could get at the station was ramshackIe buggy driven by an old darky, and as we snailed up the road I amused myself by pumping him about people and things Finally It occurred to me to get some pointers on the best place to lodge. Look here, unele,' said where do folks generally hang out here% The old man gave sudden start and glared at me with evident apprehel sion. Well. boss he replied in a hoarse whisper, they mos gen erly hangs out on that thar big cbes'- nut tree wonder, second linn rum tn bottom.

THE FIRST cAMP-MEETlNo.
It Was Held at Russeilvine, Ky,
 Century Ago.

Century Ago
 The effect of the MeGee brothers preaching especially of John McGee- at Presbyterian quarterly meeting on the banks of the Red river, Kentucky. was so startling and seemed so clearly to indicate that it was the result ot divine agency or some mysterious force possessed by the preacher, that the news of the occurrence spread rapidly in all directions throughout that part of the state and attracted unbounded interest" writes Clifford Howard in the Ladies Home Journal If it did not at once awaken a responsive re- ligious feeling, it at least excited curi- osity and when it was learned that the McGee brothers were to hold a meet ing at RussellYille, Ky, a newly set tied town in Logan county, near the Muddy river, persons from all parts of the adjoining country, irrespective of their religious beliefs or church al- legiance, prepared to attend. It soon became evident that the four walls of a country meeting house would not suf- ice to hold the large numbers that were making ready to go to Russell vile. The problem thus presented was solved by determining to hold the meeting in the open air. Those com ing from distance were prepared to camp; it would be no hardship to them to remain out of doors. The recent experience at Red river had proved this. It was not expected by those who were coming that the lodging ac- commodation at the village of Russell vile would be sufficient by any means. Why, therefore, attempt to house .Ae people? Prepare a camping ground and let the meeting be a camp meet ing. This, then, was the origin of camp meetings; and the first one held in America was on the banks of t4.e Muddy, near Russellville, Ky, in the month of August, 1799-100 years ago. Not that religious worship had never before been held in the open air. but the special feature of camping out and the nature of the services made the camp meeting distinctive institution and characterized this particular gath ering on Muddy river as the first of it's kind

THE FUTURE OF SAMOA.
Effect of Policy to Be Adopted by the
 Three Powers.


 The questions now come LID. says the Independent: Will the three govern ments interested be able to work in harmony and will the general effect be edueatiye on the people, tending to- ward the development of the power Of self-goyernment? As to the former, much will depend on the ultimate pur- pose of the governments. If the islands are to be exploited for the prime advantage of Germany, England and the United States, then we can scarcely expect anything else than renewal of the criminations and re- cr1minations of the past years and harmony may as well be thrown so the winds. If, on the other hand, it IS made evident that in the conduct of the government Of the islands the first thought is what will be best for them, even If 1t involves some sacrifice of other interests, then there is no req son why there should not be a happy and prosperous future for the commu- nlty. Upon the same thing depends the answer to the second question That the Samoan can rise to self gov-.' ernment few, if any, will deny. Whether he will attain to It, however. Is very different question. If he is made to feel that he is simply an agent 10 further German -English-American trade interests, his keenness may be developed, but not his character. That will only come by recognizing his man. hood. trusting while at the same time guiding his judgment: stirring his am- olt1G ening to him new eppor- tunities.

Bubbles by Hand.

Have you ever tried blowing bubbles from your hands instead of from 8 pipe? It can be done, and the bubbles will be much larger than those of the ordinary clay pipe makes. Lather your hands well with suds; then place them in the position of cup, just as if you were scooping up water from a spring, leaving, however, a small hole in the bottom. Hold your hands about a foot from the mouth and blow cur- rent of air into them. After one or two trials you will be able to make bubbles nearly as large as your head.

Trinldad's Wonder ful Lake.

Recent descriptions of the great lah of liquid asphaltum, or bitumen. the island of Trinidad, show that no, withstanding the enormous quantity d the substance removed every year. th supply is undiminished. The lake eel CTS about 100 aces, and is higher i the middle than at the edges. Nea the center the black pitch is seml liquid, but toward the sides a crust, iI tersected with Assures, covers the suI face, and on this crust man can wall although when he stands for a tim the crust gradually sinks around hin
 forming a kind of basin some yard across. Between S0,000 and 90.Oo0 tod of asphaltum are removed from th lake annually.

Lady Algernon Gordon Len nox wore an immense headdress Q feathers and chiffon, with a big jeweleI snake going around the back of he hair, and Mrs. Carl Meyer wore striking head structure composed d jeweled rings, while Mrs. Heofa VII Hams wore around her head two ol three rows of roses of various shaded and another woman wore violets fro1 the back of her neck to her forehead These remarkable headdresses may b| the natural sequence to the earlier rs
