GERMANY BEATS UNCLE SAM.
Buys Caroline Islands, Winch Wanted to
 Be Annexed to Us.

Germany's purchase of the Caroline islands from Spain had already drawn public attention to this little-known Pacific group, when suggestion was made to America which is certainly en- tertaining. though hardly to be enter tained. The king and head man of kusaie, one of the easternmost of the Carolines. sent a petition to congress representing that as they had been in intercourse with the American people for forty-seven years-thf is, with American missionaries, traders ana whalers-and had, both in this manner and otherwise, acquired knowledge of our institutions. they wished to be annexed to the United States. 1t is assumed that the people who expressed this amable preference did not know that they were about to be acquired by Germany. The Caroline group in cludes besides coral islands, five noun tainous islands of basaltic formation, beautiful and fertile with rivers and springs, says Harpers Weekly. To the north are the Ladrone islands, and to the west are the Philippines. Among the many queer legends of these chil dren of the Pacific there is none more highly improbable than their theory as to the origin of these islands and their inhabitants. They think they them selves were very strong in the water in fact, they lived in it. The story goes that woman and her children were floating around on the reef, when a man appeared from the west with a basket of soil on his shoulders. He had started out to make an island with a mountain on it. One of the children cried out to him: Give us I little soil to make a place for our mother to rest, for she is very weak and cannot swim'' He took out a handful of the earth and threw it down, making an island As the man was going on his way over the water the son slyly made a hole in the basket; so, as ne proceeded on his way, he became conscious that the basket seemed light, and, looking around, he saw the land. In his anger he turned about and trod upon it, and thus the island was formed

A Bit Of Continental Lore.

One of the best mouse scarers" Is
said to be the foliage of the walnut
tree. Where traps are useless the
above is most successful. and for those
to whom such leaves are obtainable
there need be no worry about those an
noying little animals. Even after the
foliage has been dried it is still eff
fectual in driving them away. On the
continent, where country folk bury
such vegetables as turnips. carrots, cell
cry, ETC., for winter use. layer of the
above keeps rats and mice away.
