SAMOAN DANCING.
It Is Not Always Discreet, Though
Generally Lively.

IL Is Not Always Discreet, Though
Generally Lively.
A favorite amusement for old and
young Is the silva, the word meaning
to dance. 1t is not, properly speaking,
dancing, says the National Geographic
Magazine, but is more like an acting
charade, for, although accompanied
with music, singing and slapping o.
hands, the silva has no steps or regular
figures, its motions consisting of slow
pacings, bodily and facial contortions,
and what may be called descriptive
acting. The actual silva is performed
by girls. The dancers are prepared
for the silva by copious smearings Of
cocoanut oil applied by some female
relative, followed by a careful adorn-
ing of the glistening body with the
lava-lava. or loin cloth, and flowers for
the hair and neck. The subjects rep
resented all relate to the life OF the
islands, and are frequently given with
a verisimilitude which leaves nothing
to the Imagination. Courtship, mar
riage and the care of children find a
leading place in the representation,
while making poi, spearing fish, pad
ding the canoe, gathering fruit, and
also some of the Giving pictures" are
not omitted. AS the pace grows live
lier frequent drafts of kava incite the
dancers to renewed activities, and
often. as the excitement grows, sub
jects of a grosser nature are given, and
frequently before the conclusion of a
first-class silva the girls will divest
themselves Of even the pretense of
clothing, the lava-lavas following the
flower garlands until the space in the
hut devoted to the performers is filled
with a swaying mass of glistening
bodies, and the odor of the cocoanut
oil becomes simply overpowering TO
the few civilized onlookers who are
permitted to witness a genuine silva.

About forty years ago a rich and
handsome young woman, moved by a
spirit of bravado, answered a "per-
sonaI" advertisement in a city newspa-
per, and entered into a correspond
ence with a clever adventurer. She
was soon duped into marrying him and
mortgaging her property. Securing
the money, the man deserted his wife
and obtained divorce. The woman
broken-hearted and enfeebled in mind
lived for years on the charity OF
friends, and was recently taken to a
Connecticut poorhouse to end her days
Happily, innocent indiscretion does not
invariably terminate in such a tragedy
A girl escapes, perhaps, with only a
flush upon her cheek and scar upon
her soul. She has learned by bitter
experience, however, that no true gen.
tleman seeks a woman's friendship
through an advertisement, and that tc
enter into such an arrangement is tC

"Jubilacion" is the convenient
euphuism for q Spanish custom which
has had protracted existence in Cuba
1t signifies the receipt of salary for
services which should be performed,
but are not-the recipient hiring a sub
stitute to do the work for which he
himself is paid. A professor of the
Havana University, whose salary was
six thousand dollars year, has been
living in Spain for the past seventeen
years, while his duties in Cuba were
performed by another for pitifully
small pay. 1t is said that nearly all
the professors OF Havana University
thus farm out" their chairs. A re-
cent decree of the United States au-
thorities, however, has abolished this
dishonest practice, and henceforth sal
aries will be paid only to those who
earn them.

pher, told his servant that on the mo9-
row he was going to have some friend;
| to dine, and told him to get the befs

philosopher and his guests sat down
the next day at the table. They hao
nothing but tongue-four or hVe

Then Xanthus said Tomorrow

was nothing there but tongue-four

and the philosopher again lost his

Tie servant replied: II did; for isn't
the tongue the organ of blasphemy,
the organ of defamation, the organ Of

Oh. my friends. employ the tongue
