SAMOAN GIRLS.
Native Bellies Pick Their Party
Dresses, Nearly Ready Made
from the Trees.

Party gowns for Samoan girls grow
on the tropical trees and almost ready
to wear. When q native beauty Of
Samoa decides to go to special enter
tainment she enters the forest to look
for her gala attire. The native kiki,
or kilt, is the only addition to her or
binary costume that the Samoan girl
provides for special parties. The ma
terial for the kih grows on the ii tree.
It consists of a ribbon of bark few
inches wide that is stripped from the
tree easily. While damp the bark, which
is very thin, is crinkled so as to form
wavy outlines, and the ribbons are col
ored all sorts of bright hues. The Sa-
moan girl then plaits waistband from
the same kind of bark and hangs the
ribbons on it. Handmade flowers of
the same material are often added also.
When the kiki Is completed the dusky
belle puts it on over the scanty lava
lava, or waistcloth, and goes to the
dance or other entertainment. The
girls thus make their own party
dresses, and some of them show great
taste and skill in fashioning the odd
garments.

WISE ANIMALS.
Some That Seem to Do Some Think
ing When They Get Into
Trouble.

A naturalist found black ants were
devouring the skins of some bird speci-
mems on a table, so he made tar circles
on four pieces of paper and put one un-
der each leg of the table. Ants will not
cross tar. Pretty soon he found the
ants busily at work again, and, looking
at the tar circles, found each one was
bridged by bits of sand which the clever
ants had brought in from the street.
On one occasion, owing to excessive
heat, one of the combs of a beehive be-
came detached and was in great danger
of falling. The bees at once set to work
and erected snoring pillar between
the endangered comb and the one next
to it. The pillar braced the comb and
kept it from falling. Then they rebuilt
the wax cells, fastening the comb to the
wall, and afterward removed the pillar.
a Capuchin monkey was given some
walnuts, which he tried to crack with
his teeth, but found he was not strong
enough. He then seized stone which
was near by, held the nuts on the
ground with one hand and used his
stone hammer with the other, with ex-
cellent results Other monkeys have
been seen to utilize nutpicks.

DOG BAROMETERS.
Their Weather sisns-Afraid
of Storms.

Sailors generally show On inclination
for pets, but the dog is valuable menu
Der of the crew. He is considered as
trustworthy as barometer in giving
notice of an approaching storm. Most
dogs are towards in storms. Occa-
sionally a captain finds dog that is
not afraid of heavy weather, and seems
to enjoy the rolling or pitching of the
ships; but as rule dogs are as afraid
of gale as a woman passenger, and at
the first sign of storm hunt for q
hiding place.
II had dog that was as much like a
woman as it was possible for an animal
to be-" said captain who has carried
dog with him for nearly quarter OF
q century. HE could tell when q
storm was coming long before could,
and often before the barometer
changed. He would come to me whin-
ing and crying, and I couldn't keep him
from my heels. He seemed to be asking
me TO put him ashore, or to find COM
Portable place for him. I used to feel
sorry for him. When a storm struck
rs he would be out of sight, and we
often found him hiding under the hunks
and in corners where he could not see
anything and could not be easily seen"

COFFEE TIPS
How the First Plants Were Brought

was tender slip and likely to perish of
thirst. In 1714 Louis XIV. was pre-
sented with single coffee plant for
his botanical garden by an Amsterdam
magistrate. It was nourished tenderly
and in time slips from it were sent to
Martinique-no doubt sub-rosa to the
Dutch-the Dutch having long con-
trolled the cultivation of coffee and
guarded it jealousy lest it be Guilt

On the way to Martinique the botanist
in charge, the ships supply Of water
getting low, shared his own daily al
lowance with the precious plants. Re-
spending to his kindness, they were
soon growing nicely in Martinique. In
due time these slips produced their
fragrant white fowers-they grow at
the roots Of the leaves-and these pres
emily changed into berries, each with
its two grains of coffee. From Mar
Unique the coffee journeyed to Porto
Rico and Cuba.
Now Porto Rico alone annually ex-
ports about 100000 worth of this
highly esteemed bean. The plant grows
wild in some parts of Africa.

NOZZLE OLD ELMS.


Professor Sargent of the Arnold Ar
boretum having given his opinion that
the Washington elm at Cambridge could
be preserved for another hundred years
If three thousand dollars were expended

and may be expected to take OH new
vigor in consequence.
Three thousand dollars for the pres
ervation Of the noble old Washington
elm in Cambridge for another hundred

be extravaganza if spent for the preser-
walton of the noble old Franklin elm

Il LONG FELT JY.4NT.

We suppose there are many, or, at
least, several people in this country who
want to see a daily religious newspaper
started. They have an idea that such a
paper would be eagerly taken by good
people, that it would be an immediate
and shining success and that it would
do much to nullify the evils which are
supposed to be wrought by irreligious
papers. One of the most earnest advo-
Gates of a religious daily is the Rev. C.
M. Sheldon of Topeka, Kansas, the
author of "In His Steps" At the recent
conference of reformers in Buffalo Mr..
Sheldon called for 100000 to start a
daily newspaper conducted with strict
conformity to evangelical ideas. No
body responded to the reasonable call,
and so a 'long felt want will not be
Immediately supplied But if somebody
should respond what would happen?
According to the Judgment of those who
really know something about the news
paper business the million would soon
be spent. 1t would be found that the
religious daily wouldn't have a large
circulation on account of its religious
character and it could only get a large
circulation and a good advertising
newspaper as we'll as a religious one.
1t would take time and more money to
make it what it would have to be to
compete with other good and strong
newspapers, and then it might not get
a grip that would enable it to live with
out continual assistance 1t probably
wouldn't be found any easier to make a
big religious daily go than it is to make |
a big irreligious daily go, and some
people are finding the latter very hard
and very costly.
The Rev. Mr. Sheldon and those who
think with him will do well to study
newspapers and the newspaper field be-
fore they throw away much good money |
which might be we'll spent for heather.
The Hartford Times calls their attention
to the fact that exactly such an ex-
pertinent as they propose was once
made in this country. The New York
World was started in 1860 by Alexander
Cummings and his associates as a re-
Iigious daily newspaper. 1T was con-
dI1ctnd for cayeral pnootbc in nrecseIv
the way that an orthodox minister who
is sincere in his professions would con-
duct such newspaper now. The re-
suit was that in a few months the
subscribed for the esta blishment
Of the World was gone, and the original
proprietors sold out to Manton Marble,
who had begun work as the might edi-
tor" of the paper. Mr.. Marble built up
a powerful and successful paper during
the Civil War and afterward, and then
sold his controlling interest for large
sum.
We do not believe the time is ripe for
a big religious daily. We don't know
that it ever will be. The fact is that
many of the big dailies are much more
religious than they get credit for being,
and they are good newspapers besides,
A specially religious newspaper would
have to be an extra good one in other
ways in order to make much impression.
It wouldn't do much good if it wasn't
read, would it?
