It all happened in church not over
a mile from the CITY post office, says
the Washington Star. There was a

there was programme upon which
appeared the name of tenor soloist

evening and the soloist had failed to
appear. 1t so happened that nobody
there knew him, and the lady who
had engaged him had also failed to APP

in greeting the guests noticed large,
picturesque-appearing man enter the
church parlor, and after looking care
fully around him slide into a seat, be-
side which he deposited a big SOM

SAMOAN BELLIES GOWNS.

Party gowns for Samoan girls grow
on the tropical trees and almost ready
for wear, says the Indianapolis News.
When native beauty of Samoa decides
to go to special entertainement she
enters the forest to look for her gala
attire. The native kiki, or Kilt, is the
only addition to her ordinary costume
that the Samoan girl provides for spe-
cial parties. The material for the kiki
grows on the tree. 1t consists Of rib
bon Of bark "A few inches wide that is
stripped from the tree easily. While
damp the bark, which is very thin. is
crinl<lcd so as to form wavy outlines,

Of bright hucs. The Samoan girl then
plaits Il waistband from the same kind

Handmade flowers of the same material
are often added also.
When the lili is completed the dusly
belle puts il on over her scanty laval

dance or other entertainments The
girls thus make their own party
dresses, and some of them show great
taste and skill in fashioning the old
garments, although the captions might
allcce that they might without being

WOMEN PRINTERS I'm LONDON.
A Remarkable Business Society That
Has No Coun terpnrt In This
Country.

Women are found now and again in
printing offices in this country, en-
gagged in typesetting and similar kinds
of work. but it would be hard to find a
duplicate of the Women's Printing So
ciety in London, where the entire es-
adjustment is owned and managed by
women, and all the labor, with the en-
cepton of heavy machine work, is done
by them.
This society has ben carried on for
number of years as successful bust
ness. Originally started by subscrip-
ton for the purpose of training girls
who were anxious to earn a livelihood
in this way, it rapidly developed into Il
pros porous concern, but it has not lost
sight OF the aim of helpfulness to
Young women workers with which it
was begun. It is managed on the CO.
operative principle. No dividend may
exceed five per cent. per annum, and
above that the surplus is to be divided
among the hands BY way of bonus.

many.of them being girls just out of
school of about Is years Of age. Some
OF the workers become at the same time

Our cocher has been ordered TO turn

is ordered to halt, and looks on in sur
prise as we descend into the ankle-deep
dust and proceed by means of our open
sesame, to the place where four Ameri-
can flags at the corners of large
square indicate the Enclosure chosen
by our commissioner general for the
American pavilion.
l!'rG, on the rive gauchc, in COM
parry with others of the Pavilons des
Etrauger2s, will stand the American
pavilion, a beautiful and attractive
structure, whose broad steps lead down
TO the water. Here Amer cans may
land. and at once receive that welcome
and attention which the visitor soon
discovers is second nature to the com
missioner general and his staff; and
here, more than anywhere else in Paris,
willhe find himself thoroughly at home.
1t is to our commissioner general and
bis untirirg industry that we are in
debted for the great amount Of space
which is to contain the great American
exhibit, and even my gloomy guide is
tempted to break into a triumphant
smile at this new proof of American
skill and energy.

INTENSE COLD.
Numbs the senses and Produces In
Some Cases Results Similar to
Alcoholic IntOxicatiOn.

The usual results of exposure to ex-
IRENE cold are loss of energy, both
physical and mental, followed by
drowsiness and Discrimination to move;
the mental faculties become torpid
and the senses numbed, while the vic
tim is seized with an irresistible de-
sire to lie down and sleep. If this
desire is yielded to the lethargy passes
into stupor and death follows. Occa-
sionally these symptoms are preceded
by others which resemble those of in
toXication, and are due to a peculiar
condition of the blood. which at a very
low temperature takes up an insult
ficient quantity of oxygen, and so has
an in furious effect on the nervous sys-
tenn. 1t was observed during the re-
treat of the French from Moscow that
those who were most severely affected
by the cold often recled about as if
intoxicated; they also complained of
giddincss and indistinctuess of vision
and sank gradually into state of
lcthargic stupor from which it was i'm
possible to arouse them. Other in
stances are recorded in which per-
sons became delirous and died
through a short exposure to intense
cold

age passage. food. and medical attend
ance are furnished free TO his destination,
and oftentimes a money advance Is given,
this to be repaid In small monthly Install

these laborers 20 their several employers,
and they are at no expense until they
reach their field of labor"
The quarters furnished these labor
ers on the plantations vary with the
plantations and also with the class Of
laborcrs to be accommodated. AZ a
rule oriental labor is not accorded
quarters as commodious and inviting
as those from European countries, Eu-
ropean labor has for a family, or for
two single men, two rooms in four

raen, are housed in barracks with from
six TO forty men in room. Single
japanese are often provided for IN

only two occupying the same room.

DESERVED HER CRACKER.
This Parrot AwOl<c Her Master W hen
Burglars Came, and saved

A Philadelphia writer relates the
story of parrot that protected her
owners home from burglars, who had
eneered through one of the front par
Tor windows. They crept through the
ballroom past the bird and began
iimmying open the siGeboard in the
dining-room, where the silver was kept.
One of the other men gathered up the
costly Turkish rugs on the floors and
another was taking down the curtains
when Polly spoke up.

The burglars stopped as if they had
been shot. Polly repeated the question
in a louder and more imperative key.
The noise of the parrot awakened her
master, Mr.. Fister. He grasped re-
volver. which he had bought only few
days before, and kept under his pill
low. and made for the head Of the stairs.
He pressed an electric button on the
wall and lit the lights in the ballroom.

stairs, where he found the parrot in

the existing conditions as shown by

Of the home conditions Of the labor
