Her arms and limbs are bare. She has

Portable. She also refuses stockings,
contrary to the Samoan warrior, who, it
is told, marched with his comrades in
battle array wearing a pair of opera
length silk hose, the soles of which were
worn completely off. These had no
doubt been given to him by some Eu-
ropean travellers.
Although the Samoan girl does not
wear clothes, properly speaking, she is
taught while still very young to EN-
broider and sew.
The hairpins worn in her hair are
beautiful in their workmanship. They
are made out of the wood of a cocoanut
tree, and are carved with a dead cocoa
nut leaf. This is most delicate work.
The girls are taught to swim when
babies. They are graceful and readily
learn to dance. As people the Samoans
are great dancers, and during their
holiday seasons they dance day and
night. They are also fond of music,
and have native instruments, which
they beat to strange rhythmic music,
not altogether beautiful, but har-
monious.
The marriage of the Samoan girl is
arranged by her parents. The girl never
thinks of having any opinion of her own
on the subject, but accepts the parents
decision as inevitable. This does not
prevent her from having any number
of admirers before or after marriage.
which seems to be another matter en-
tirely. She is far more interesting in
her native costumes, pursuing the GUS
tomary life of her own people, than
when she tries to ape the foreigners
who visit her beautiful tropical country
to admire her in all her native sim
plicity and beauty.-N. Y. Tribune.

rlger-Huntine ON wbe.l.

The latest use to which bicycles have
been applied is tiger hunting. A paper
published in British India gives an ac-
count of this startling innovation. A
pig, it appears, was carried away by a
tiger from a coffee estate in Castle
wood, in the state of Johore. 1.-THE news
having been sent to Johore," runs the
report, "the sultan's trackers were out
on bicycles by midday and located the
tiger in some low shrub within hall
mile of the shed. The sultan himself
rode out at four o'clock, and after
short beat of half an hour large tiger
was driven out of the shrub and fell to
one well-plsced shot by the suItas
through the tigers forehead.r

connected in no manner with the works

move around the face SO as to always be

To Preserve Old Letters.

Here is a unique method of saving
old letters. A youthful bride has
been trying to bring herself to
burning up her love letters. They
had accumulated during the years
of her engagement to such an ex-
tent that to save them all was
out of the question, and to burn them
was out of the question, too. Instead,
she has torn them, painstakingly, into
small bits and changed them into an
embroidered covered pillow. It's
suggestive idea, and might be util-
lied in preserving all sorts of old let
ters and manuscripts.

The senate has passed bill whicl
wipes out another relic of postbellun
days when the country was legislatlnr
against the men who fought in tn,
Confederate army. AS the war has re
ceded into history and the old wounds
have been healed, and the South ant
North have begun to understand each
other congress has by degrees beer
removing the disabilities of the ex.
confederates. The bill passed by the
senate unanimously, and which was in
troduced by DR.. Gallinger, senator
from, New Hampshire, is intended to
repeal section Ais of the revised stat
utes, which prevents any one who
aided or abetted the confederacy from
drawing a pension from the govern
ment. At the time this law was en-
acted there was much reason for It,
but now 1t works a hardship against
many deserving people. The CALM
ger bill would permit the dependent
parents Of persons who served in the
war with Spain to draw pensions, pro-
vided they can make their case before
the pension bureau. This is only Just
to the parents Of some Of the boys who
were killed in action or died Of wounds
or disease in Cuba or the Philippines.
DIR. Callinger discovered that because
Of this section Ais many deserving
persons were not getting their pen
sions, so he started out to have it
repealed, and it win pass the house
with as much unanlmity as it passed
the senate and make another bond of
union of the sections. What such fell
lows as Jones of Arkansas will do for
'issues" after while. it is hard to
see.
