A Kind Old Mormon Elder.

The man who was interested in gen.
ealogy having met another man of his
name, was asking questions and MAX
ing statements which apparently es-
tablished a relationship between the
two.

our family is a prominent elder in the

but not unduly elated at this news:
do you know him?"
II don't, but / can tell you. he knows
me and you, too. He keeps track of
every body of our name in the country,
and this is what he does it for: If you
should die he would get notice of 1t at
once and some Mormon would be bap-
tized in your name without a days
delay. Then, when you reached the
gate and was asked for your creden-

the point on a large scale, and proba-

tHated bilge does not exist. Refuse
in a ship is mostly got rid of overr

regard to it's predominant magnitude
it would be impossible to overestimate
the Importance of an efficient control

recently been directed in the public
press to the dangerous practice of plac-

Curing Tobacco.

When the leaves of the tobacco plant
are mature and ready for harvest they
are gathered and first laid on the ground
to wilt-that is. to wither and lose
their brittleness This done, they are
collected into bundles and packed, top
upwards into moderate-Si heaps to
sweat Mating is placed over the heaps
and a gradual rise of temperature be-
gins The increase in temperature is
due to certain processes which are TAX
ing place within the leaves, whereby
as the leaves die, their more complex
contents become broken down into
simpler ones, with an evolution of heat
and water The water thus given off
is in vapor form, but it -condenses again
on the cooler mating covering, and it
is the presence of this water which
gives rise to the idea of the heaps
sweating" Care and attention are
needed at this time to prevent over
heating, for did the temperature rise
unduly there would be darkehing Of the
leaves and injurious drying. When the
sweating is completed the leaves are
dried, either slowly by simple exposure
to currents of air, or rapidly by arti-
fetal heat. Moldiness and consequent
rotting must be guarded against; and
then, if all the conditions are favora-
BILE. in six or eight weeks the leaves will
have turned a bright, warm brown
color, though tobacco at this stage
lacks aroma and flavor. The chief re-
suit of this process has been to effect
further alteration in the constituents
of the tissues of the leaves. After it
is completed moist air is again brought
into play to soften the leaves and rem
der them plant, and it is not till then
that they are ready for the great pro-
cess of fermentation, in which. it is
now aesserted, the bacteria play so cru
cial part.
Fermentation has always been looked
upon as very important stage in the
preparation of tobacco, but, If bacter-
iologists are right, even greater stress
must be laid upon it, for it is the key
stone of the whole and of paramount
importance. AS a preliminary to it
the brown leaves are sorted and made
up into hands, or small bundles, COP
tanning, perhaps, from six to ten leaves
apiece. All these separate bundles
are collected and piled up into great
heaps or solid stacks-a stack contain
ing sometimes as much as fifty tons Of
tobacco. Directly the stacks are COM
pleted fermentation begins, encouraged
by the warmth and moisture within,
and now, too, begins the production of
aroma and flavor. And this is the
work of the bacteria which inhabit
these heaps, for it is eonclusively shown
that these stacks are the homes and
breeding places of myriads of bacteria
in fact, complete fora of fungus life
is to be found within them, for side by
side with the bacteria are members
from many other parts of the great
group of fungi of which the microbe
life is only small section.-Contem-

A Waif Of the American Gang
and His Uoinrs

A soldier in the Philippines who reads
the Outlook" and is interested In chill
dren, has sent a description Of little
boy who is familiar in the camp. He
says the little boys from 8 to 10 years
of age in Manila used to come to camp
to gather. the food the soldiers left. For
this purpose they carried tin cans. The
soldiers would give them the food on.
condition that they did some work
about the camp; usually they washed
the dishes. The soldiers We're allowed
as much food as they wanted, and it
became the habit to take large help
ings, that these hungry boys might be
fed. For in Manila, as in Cuba, there
were hungry boys. One boy, Petro
Anilo, an orphan, was temporarily
adopted by our soldiers. His parents
were killed by Spanish soldiers when he
was baby, and no one seemed to have
charge of him, and though he could not
speak English, the little boy was made
to understand that he belonged to these
soldiers. He understood English in a
very short time, but he did not learn to
speak it readily. Now, these soldiers
did what you will think was wrong.
When they were ordered to Iloilo they
struggled the boy aboard the transport;
he was so friendless, so lonely, that it
seemed to them cruel to leave him. He
is devoted to soldiers and everything
that has to do with military life. He
has learned how to go through the
manuel of arms; he can give the COM
mands perfectly. The soldiers adopted
the plan OF giving him money for ex-
ira service. He took all his money one
day and returned to camp dressed in
the gaudiest colors; about the crown
of his hat were bright ribbons that
reached to his waist. Petro will sit
for hours looking at pictures.
The Filipinos, like every other peo-
pie, have their favorite form of amuse-
ment. Our people, being made up of
many peoples, have taken golf from
the Scotch, football from the English,
and developed baseball as a national
game Cock fighting is the favorite
Dastime of the Filipinos This small
boy had two gamecocks. The soldiers,
knowing that he would not understand
If they tried to take away his pets, or
what to him was just. what bat and
ball are to an American boy, let him
keep them, and trusted to teach him
better forms Of play. When the time
came for the soldiers to return home,
Petro wanted to come home with them
until he learned that they would not
be soldiers; then his desire was not so
great.
The soldiers are so proud of him that
they will try to bring him home and
educate him. He is so bright and
teachable that they think he would
make valuable citizen. At any rate,
they love him, and no one else does

New Life Buoy.

The Franklin life buoy, unique in
ventlon of Rear Admiral Hichborn is
now in use, not only on all vessels of
the United States navy, but also to
great extent on the vessels of all con-
siderable naval powers, says the Sci
entific American" Like all other use
full inventions, it is simple in principle,
being hollow air tight metallic ring,
provided with two automatic torches
which makes it possible to locate the
buoy at night.
The torch stats are so pivoted to the
ring that they will lie in the same
plane and stow neatly against the side
of the ship when the buoy is not in use;
but when it is dropped they assume,
by virtue Of the weight of their lower
ends, a vertical position in the water,
thus raising the signals above the sur
face. Each torch staff is fitted with a
chamber at the lower end containing
calcium phosphide, a chemical watch
ignites by contact with the water.
When the buoy is dropped the seals of
these chambers are broken automati-
cally, and admission Of water is permit
ted, and the gases of combustion ascend
and produce a large flare at the top,
the combustion being so regulated that
there is no danger of overheating. The
f1otation of the buoy is sufficient to
sustain three men, the central space
accommodating one in sitting posi-
ton, supported by a chain which
crosses the opening. Generally two of
these buoys are hung near the STERN,
where they can be most easily dropped
entirely clear. The most striking test
Of their efficiency in our service OCCUR
red on the Inflated Maine about a year
before she was blown up in Havana
harbor. =.
On the morning of February 6, 1897,
in latitude "a degrees north and longi-
tude IS degrees AZ minutes west, po-
sition little south of Cape Hatteras,
the Maine was breasting a terrific
storm, such as would have tried the
seaworthiness Of the stanchest ship. In
executing an order, Gunner's Mate
Charles Hassell and Seaman. Kogel
were washed overheard. The two buoys
were Immediately dropped, and Hassel
was seen to reach one Of them, but
Kogel seems to have been stunned for
he made no apparent effort to save
himself. Seeing this, Landsman Will
lam j. Creelman jumped overheard and
made futile attempt to rescue him,
and after failing succeeded in reaching
the same buoy to which Hassel already
chung. In the meanwhile the port life
boat, manned by volunteer crew, un-
der command of Cadet Walter Gherardi
was lowered, but it was found that in
the terrific sea it was quite impossible
to reach the imperiled men with the
boat and the crew were hauled aboard
by life lines. the boat being abandoned.
BY this time the two men on the buoy
had been lost sight of; but their bear
ings had been kept, and when the ship
steamed in their direction, the torches
were soon sighted through the binding
mist or rain, and by the most skillful
handling the two men We're safely haul
ed over the bow and landed on deck,
SO little injured by their adventure that
both returned to duty the next day, one
of them, Hassel, only to perish in the
terrible catastrophe of the following
year. Creelman is now gunner's mate
on the Iowa.

KING OF TONGA.
Married the Woman Of His
Choice.

1t is not often that a King, even
mi.barbarous King. is able to marry
when he pleases. Kings are supposed
TO rule other people, but not to have
any say about such important AFFAIRS
as their own marriages.
But the King of Tonga the other day
made a. declaration of independence
concerning his love affairs, and despite
the wishes of his mobiles and advisers
married the girl of his choice. The
mobiles wished the King to marry the
Princess Ola of Niva. and they had got
together in council and voted that this
Princess was the proper bride for the
King. But love laughs at locksmiths
and appears to smile even at the ballot
box Inspired by long cherished pas
sion for. the Princess Tavinia, daughter
of Kubu Minister of Police, the King
declared that he would marry Tavinia
or no one, and marry her he did on tho
last day of June. and the wedding in

bride.

Sanitary Arrangements ON ships.

While on the subject of sanitation
and water we are naturally led to con-
slider the ships whose home is upon
the unstable element; but here, too, the
amount of sanitary progress compares.
unfavorably with the advance upon
terra firma. AS human habitation a
ship lends itself to the requirements of
hygiene with far less readiness than
does house. To begin with, space
has to be economical to the uttermost,
a powerful bias in favor Of overcrowd-
ing being thus created alb initio; and
next, the problem of insuring adequate
ventilation is infinitely harder of solu-
ton afioat than ashore. The greater
part of a vessels hull being submerged,
it follows that natural ventilation alone
can never produce a sufficiency of pure
air. Artificial means must perforce be
had recourse to in addition, and gen.
orally speaking there is ample room for
improvement in the crude methods at
present universally in vogue. Whether
an intake for fresh air at or near the
lowest part of q ships hold, be feasible
or not there has never, 50 far as we
are aware, been any attempt to test

King George II. Of Tonga is the
grandson of George l., remarkable
man, who ruled over the islands for
fifty years, and died six years ago at
the ripe age of ninety odd years. Be-
fore the reign of King George there
were two sovereigns in Tonga. The
higher of these, called TUT Tonga, was
greatly reverenced. but for at least
couple of centuries had enjoyed little
power. The real ruler and the chief
officers of state were members of the
Toobo family, from which. also, the
wife of the TUT Tonga was always
chosen.
During the long civil wars in the
early part of this century the institu,
ton of TUT Tonga lapsed and various
chiefs became Independent, but they
were gradually subdued. and the whole
group, united by King George, who was
of the Toubo family. He committed for
a money payment the service due from
the common people to their chiefs, ana
these he assembled in sort of parliae
ment, having established constitu-
tional government in 1862. There is at
present a legislative assembly which
meets biennially.
The present King. the grandson of
George l., was born in 1874 and sue.
ceeded his grandfather in 1893, his
father having waived his right to the
throne.
The Tonga or Friendly Islands were
discovered by Tasman in 1643. They
lie in the South Pacific. about $50 miles
southwest from Samoa There are tn1r,
ty-two large islands and 100 smaller
ones in the archipelago, which together
measure 3S5 square miles, with pop
ulation of about 10000. The people
are intellectually perhaps the most adj
vanced of the Polynesian race and ex-
ercise an influence lover distant neigh
bors, especially in Figi, quite out OF
proportion to their. numbers. Their
conuuests have extended as far as Niue
or Savage Island 200 miles to the east,
and to various other islands to the
north Their prior conversion to Chris
tianity by British missionaries gave the
people material as well as moral ad.
vantages over their neighbors, and

made the most of these. The people
and the government have been treated
as independent since the beginning of
the century, and the little group of ISL
ands has been considered kind of lit
tie buffer state between conflicting
spheres of influence in the general Eu-
ropean grab for the Pacific islands.
Tonga is the largest and most import

group takes it's name.-New York Her
