The Tahitans are said to be the peo-
pie most serviceable to the traveller.
They seem, in fact, to command at all
times the principal conveniences of
life.
Half an hour of daylight is sufficient
for building house of the stems and
leaves of the fehi-banana. and fire is
produced by rubbing sticks.
If the running water is deeply sunk
among stones by working in banana
leaves they bring it to the surface.
The chase of cells, which in those
dripping mountains become almost am
phibious, offers another instance of
their ingenuity.
They tear off with their teeth the
fibrous bark of "pEran" (Hibiscus TIL
iaceus), and a moment after apply it
to noosing small fish.
If one is sent fer fruit he will US
ually makes a basket on the way by
plating segments Of a cocoanut leaf.
A mat will be manufactured with al
most equal ease Clothing is always
at hand, and a banana leaf serves for
an umbrella. TUlblers and bottles
are supplied by single joints of the
bamboo, and casks and buckets by the
long stems, and whether you ask for a
Ratchet. knife, spoon. toothbrush, or
wash basin, the guides win never be
found at loss.

eyes flashed the sparks of pleasure he
felt, which made his face almost hand

the man we could hardly believe that one
so interested in the progress of the schools
could be so penurious, so CloSe-hSted and
so mean as to refuse to pay for having
the handsome and convenient catalogue
of the schools oil our county printed, and
even TO lower the teachers salaries TO

CHANGE OF CLIMATE
WON'T CURE CONSUMPTION
The SlOcum System is Needed.
A Curative Medicinal Treatment Founded on Modern
Scientific Truths is More Potent
Than Air Alone.
FREE TREATMENT FOR LUNG WEAKNESS.

! If those Of our readers who reside in
the most highly favored sections of this
country, where the climate is healthy
and invigorating, with dry and tonic
atmosphere, will look about them, they
will see greater or less number of their
friends and neighbors dying of con-
sumption while many others have
already been carried off by that dread
malady.
These deaths have occurred from time
to time amid the refreshing prairie
breezes of summer; in the fair and mel
low days OF autumn, and also In the dry
aid sunny seasons of southern winter.
Such deaths amid such favorable SUR
/ roundings afford positive and convinc-
ing proof that climate alone will not
cure consumption that neither pine
laden breezes nor bracing mountain air
will restore weak lungs or build up a
constitution that is being undermined
and broken down by the insidious germs
of fatal disease.
But. on the other hand, many thou
sands of testimonials from grateful peo-
pie all over this country, who have been
cured by the DIR. Siocum System of
Treatment. and are today in the enjoy
ment of perfectly restored health and
strength, afford the most convincing
evidence that this treatment, aided by
favorable climatic conditions and sur
roundings, is a positive cure for Con-
sumption and all other chronic diseases
of the Throat, Chest and Lungs
Therefore, those who go to the noun
tains, the Seashore or to southern eli
mates, as well as those who already
reside in such favored localities, should
not fail to take the DR.. Slocum System
of Treatment if they wish to derive the
full benefits of favorable climatic condi-
tons and scientific medication
The DR.. Slocum System of Treatment
consisting of Four Preparations is both
medicine and food. The medicines used
in it allay the cough and lung irritation,
heal the soreness and subdue the pains
in the throat, overcome shortness of
breath, improve the appetite and diges-
ton. and bring comfort, rest and re-
freshing sleep, while its food properties
are building up the constitution, enrich
ing the blood and infusing the sufferer
with new life and vigor.
No single remedy will accomplish all
this, but the Four Remedies embodied
in the DR.. Slocum System of Treatment
will. More than quarter of a century
has been devoted to perfecting this
System of Treatment; every indication,
every symptom in Consump tion and
other diseases of the Throat and Lungs,
has been carefully studied in the devel-

of conspiracy to use Unlawfully funds
