THINK MEN GROW ON TREES.
There Are Some Indian Tribes That
Still Hold to That Singu-
lar Belief.

The Sioux Indians still share with
the old Aryan and Semitic tribes in
the belief that there are trees that
bring forth human beings, and others
that bear various portions of the hui
man body, and in the fourteenth CEN
fury an Italian traveller, on arriving
at Malabar, was told by the natives
that the country abounded with tree
that bore men and women. The lat
ter were attached to the limbs by the
neither extremities and were full
formed when the wind blew, but when
the wind died out they soon withered.
These specimens of humanity reached
the length or height of three feet.
In the first book of the Mahadha-
rata, mention is made of forms of
dwarfs that were to be found on a
large fig tree. The Arabs are still
strong in the belief that somewhere
in the southern ocean there is tree
that bears a nut that resembles the
face of man, and when in it's full
ness the mouth opens and gives voice
to the cry: "Wak! Walk" The Chi
nese reverse the order of things, and,
instead of believing that the trees give
birth to men, claim that in the be-
ginning the herbs and grass sprang
from the hair of the human family.
They have preserved the tradition, too,
that somewhere within the borders
Of the Flowery kingdom there, is a
wonderful lake by whose margin grew
trees whose leaves developed into
birds, and also that, if a jar be
broken on the waters, birds of the
most brilliant plumage will at once
arise from the pieces and fly off.
In Central India there is tribe
called Khatties that claim to have
their origin from a stick of wood.
When the five sons of Pandu, the he
roes whose exploits are told in the
Mahadharata, had become simple
tenders of sheep, Karna, their illegiti-
mate brother, wishing to deprive them
of their last resource, prayed to the
gods to assist him. He struck the
earth with his staff, which opened,
and from it sprang man who was
called Khat, meaning begotten of
wood, and by this name have his de-
scendants ever since been known

LONDON'S WOMAN BARBER.
She Is Charming and Accomplished,
and Is Endowed with Hyp-
motto Power.

The Lady BARRIERS association-the
original one, mark you-has existed
II years. Its present address is IS
Chancery lane, and its latest proprie-
tor, Nine. ST. Quentin, who has been
in possession since June last. She is
charming and accomplished lady
learned in the mysteries of hypnotic
influences, and has even views on
Buddha. In response to the invitation
contained in the announcement that
madame was at home, coupled with
the parenthetical promise of tea, the
writer descended to the pleasant base
ment room, with the electric lamps
diffusing brightly warm color through
the crimson shades, and beheld the
priestess of the razor performing the
customary rites upon various stubby
and upturned masculine chins. 1t
seemed so entirely pleasant process
that the writer remembered with
secret joy that he had not been shaved
that morning. Presently it was his
turn, and, placing his head upon the
pad, he suffered himself to be lath-
cred and prepared for sacrifice.
To be shaved by deft-handed wom-
an is almost magical process. There
is none of the "slishslashing" of the
gentleman whom bountiful nature
intended to be hedge carpenter. No,
no! There is something smooth and
gliding over ones cheek, with here
and there the pressure of delicate fin
gers, and presto! one energies with
chin that is equal, without a shadow
of depreciation, to every domestic and
ante-marital demand upon it.-Pall

Evolution of the Cranberry.

The cranberry is product of the
country's development, coming forward
in the last so years from small, hard,
bitter berry to handsomely shaped
and goodsized fruit. As the quality has
improved the berries have increased in
popularity with consumers, until sup
plies are hardly sufficient to satisfy nor
NAL demands. Rhode Island was the
first state to apply scientific methods
to cultivation, and the system adopted
there has extended to other states, nota-
bly, Massachusetts,, New Jersey and Wis
consin.-Chicago Chronicle.

Spaghetti Mexican Style.

Put tablespoonful of lard and but

add one-quarter pound of spaghetti
broken into desired lengths, half an
onion sliced, one large tomato sliced,
pepper and salt and dash of cayenne

boil until the water has been absorbed,
being sure the spaghetti is tender.-

A Plunge In the Dark.

A remarkable accident befell an Eng
lish cyclist. He had been few miles
into the country to see some friends,
Ind was riding home along lane about
10 o'clock p. m, when he suddenly re-
ceived sharp blow on the chest and
was lifted completely out of the saddle
and thrown with considerable violence
to the ground, where he lay for some
minutes partly stunned. On recovering
his senses the cyclist looked around to
try to find the cause of his extraordinary
spill.
1t did not want lot of finding, for
it was very apparent in the shape of
stout rope which was stretched across
the road. The rope, it appeared, was
fastened at one end to gypsy wagon
standing by the side of the hedge, and
TO horse at the other. In search of
fresh herbage the animal had strayed
across the road, and, startled, no
doubt, by the sudden appearance of the
bicycle light, had thrown up its head,
drawing the cord taut at height of
i've feet or so from the ground. In the
darkness it was imperceptible, and,
catching the cyclist breast high, it flung
him from his machine with scant cour-
tesy.

Docking Horses.

Docking horses took its rise in the dark
days when bull and bear batting was
honored by place in the category Of
sport, rightly now relegated by law to
the catalogue of outrage. This custom
of docking was once generally applied to
English roadsters, hunters and harness
horses. The only useful purpose it ever
served was in the Peninsular war, when
British dragons could be most easily
distinguished from French by their cock
tails. 1t fell into disuse with the decline
of road coaches, and we owe its unwel-
come revival to their partial restoration
1t Is senseless, barbarous and dishgur-
ing; it inflcts needless suffering upon
brood mares and horses turned out to
grass. depriving them of their natural
defense against flies, besides the severe
pain and shock caused by the operation
itself. 1t should be discouraged In every
possible wa. ty influential persons, by
those who lead the fashion In such things,
and agricultural societies should be NOV
ed Ia refuse prizes to exhibits which have
undergone this Observation-Disclosures

THE VIGIL.

Through tho long dark 1 watch and wake
Beside my armor bright,
For morrow's dawning sun shall make
Me, too q bi ted knight.
The silent hour drag slow and long;
The chapel floor ifeold;
Ny weary eyes are eAint, but strong
My heart to win and hold.
No kin may help, no friend draw nigh,
And all the worlds asleep,
For this one night my soul and
Alone must vigil keep.
Yet through yon oriel's tinted wheel
OF stars a silent throng
Watch over me and wish my veal
Knights who were brave and strong.
In silver armor clad, like mine,
T.ey throa., ie blessed field,
Bright on my helm and corselet shine
And bless my sword and shield.
They nobly strove in wars alarms,
They died to keep their VOW,
But first they watched to win their arms
AS 1 am watching now.
May their noblesse me, too, inspire,
Who long like them to fight,
When 1, who now am but squire,
Shall rise belted knight.

Isolated PEOPLES.

Perhaps the most isolated tribe of
people in the world is the Tshuktshi, a
people occupying the northern portion
of the peninsula of Kamchatka and the
country northward toward Bering
strait. These people are practically in
dependent of Russia, who appears to
have reasons of her own for letting
them alone. They have practically no
communication with the outside world,
and have only been visited two or three
times-the last time by Major de Windt
on his journey through Siberia.
The inhabitants of the New Siberian
islands are also practically alone on
earth, for they can only communicate
with the mainland and therefore with
the rest of the world once year. and a
succession of bad seasons might isolate
them for years.
The pygmies of the great central
African forests, if they can be called a
tribe, have also been people apart
For ages their existence was little more
than legendary. and only two expedi-
tions commanded by white men have
ever penetrated into their abode

GREETING.


Mary years have sped
Since first saw your orange covers,
And with til I'm youth and strength have fled,
Old friends are gone and youthful lovers
But. even as in days gone by
You came to bless my scanty leisure,
Still in your pages descry
A yelling fount of quiet pleasure.
Go on, old friend, and as of yore
You bid us company with sages,
Walk with them still as heretofore,
And may no evil mar your pages.
And when deaths deep forgetfulness
Has closed for me all earthly pleasure
May Chambers still remain to bless
Those who come after-in full measure.

How Charitable People
Are Defrauded.
One of the Objects Of the Associ-
ated Charities-LookL at for
Professionals.

! Several days ago a young man called
| at q residence on the Waikiki road
and stated TO the ladies of the house
that he had been unfortunate" but
| had been promised place in we'll
known store, provided he could dress
up in a decent suit of clothes. He
therefore appealed for aid. The ladies,
after some conversation with him
gave him five dollars in order 10 pur-
chase the clothes, as he said the sum
would be sufficient Three days later.
he again appeared in a better suit of
clothes than he had worn on making
his first application, but his face was
much the worse for wear, and his gem
run up against snags and beer bottles.
He asked for the loan of two dollars
more, in order to start in business. He
gave a name different from the one
given on his first visit. On being re-
fused, he became rather noisy, but fl
nally left.
1t is to attend properly TO such cases
as these that the Associated Charities
has been organized. The main object
of this body is to prevent imposture
and yet see that worthy cases receive
proper attention. People similar to the
central figure of the foregoing incident
are to be referred to Mrs. Berger, the
manager of the Associated Charities
Either by her personally or under her
direction the case is to be investigated
Then if the applicant be found worthy
the required aid is provided. Thus is
prevented the advantage which is ia
ken of the charitably disposed by pro
fessional alms-seekers.'

FOR THE CRICKETERS.
australians Strong at Uphill Play
Points on the Game

| Fifty-eight thousand persons paid
admission to the last test cricket
match at Old Trafford, Manchester, be-
tween Australia and All England
while the pavilion, grand stands and
ladies reserves set apart for members
and their friends accommodated anOth-
! er 10000 during the three days play
The Australians drew down as their
share of the gate money nearly SILL
900. The game, which was drawn
! through lack of time for a finish re-
mains as a monument of the Austria
| lians' wonderful capacity for fighting
calamity an uphill game. England
won the toss and started to bat be-
! fore an attendance that grew to 10000
! by lunch time, when the gates were
closed and no further admission al
| lowed England was at the wickets
until shortly before time for 372. AT
the close of the day Australia had lost
one wicket for one run, LAYER being
the unfortunate. On resumption it
seemed as though Australia was hope
lessly up against it. Two fell for 10
three for 10, four for o.. five for 33
!
/ Trumble stopped the rot, and ultimate
! ly the score was raised to 1876. The
COlOnialS being in the minority were
forced to follow on. and at the close OF
the days play had scored 142 for two
wickets. The third and last day Austria
liza called their inning closed at 346 for
seven wickets. which left England III
to get to win in a little over an hour.
! This feat was, of course, out of the
question in the limited time, and at
the conclusion the telegraph board
showed three good wickets down for 81.
! Another sample of the Australians
capacity for uphill work is the game
commenced at Lords against Maryle-
! bone Club. which includes nearly all
the best men in England. The Maryle-
/ bone Cricket Club won the toss and
made 25S on the first day as against
! Australians four wickets for As. On
the second day Australians total
reached 319, and Marylebone had lost
five for 50. On the third day the re-
mainder fell for ISL, which left the Co
! lonials 81 to get to win, which they
managed easily, losing only one wicket
! in the essay.

HOMEMADE THREAD.

Another article of great interest has
been added to the Hawaiian CONNER
cial exhibit in the eastern booth. 1t is
a pyramid of spools of sewing thread
manufactured from Hawaiian grown
cotton when the war of the rebellion
sent that article sky-high. This same
trophy has been exhibited on both
sides of the glObe-once at an exhibit
ton iD Toxic, Japan. 1t is contributed
to the Greater America exposition by
James w Robertson, who was Queen
Liliuokalani's chamberlain of the
household at the overthrow of the
monarchy.
The second installment of the eX-
hibit is hourly expected from San
Francisco. Notwithstanding the short
notice given the business men Of Ho-
nolulu together with the almost total
lack of any local government aid or
even encouragement, Hawaii is going
to make a good showing at Omaha this
summer. Mail for Mr.. TOwse, the ad-
ditional commissioner, has been re-
ceived from Honolulu, so that he must
be we'll on his way.-Omaha World

CHILDREN'S HANDIWORK.

Among the most interesting OF the
collections in the Hawaiian exhibit,
which has been assembled by Daniel
Logan in the Colonial building, is that
containing specimens of workmanship
of young Kamehameha boys in the ma
chine, blacksmith, carpenter, turning,
painting and tailoring shops of their
institution. Accompanying photo
graphs OF the interiors of the shops,
as we'll as of other scenes in and about
the school, give a clear idea of the
completeness of the institution S
equipment and the homelike atmos-
phere in which the boys live. They
have a brass band. cadet corps and,
last but not least, the champion base
ball club of Honolulu. Another ar
ticle exhibited is the gold medal won
by the school at the Paris exposition.
In the western booth containing the
Kamehameha school display are also
shown by all odds the finest collection
of sea shells in the whole exposition.
five assorted boxes of land shells and
sets of Hawaiian ferns and MOSES. y
superb set of ferns, duplicates of those
shown, had to be reserved from exhibit
ton for want of space. This set Will
be shown on request of Mr. Logan. The
sea shells had to be insured heavily for
their safe return before the collector
