SAMOAN DRESSMAkERS.
How Garments Are Made by the Ma

How Garments Are Made by the Ma
tives in the South Seas.
From the New York Tribune.
In the South Seas dresses made with
a hatchet, club and pot Of paint. Every
housewife is her own robe and habit maker.
When she feels the need of new gown
she goes and chops down tree. When
her husband needs new suit she chops
down another tree. That is easy, for men
and women are clad exactly alike, plain
fold Of cloth caught about the waist and
hanging loosely to the knee or shin. The
races inhabiting the islands of the tropical
Pacific are almost alone in having no idea
of the loom and the various arts of the
spinner and webster. This lack is un-
doubtedly due to the natural provision of
a material which renders woven cloth
unnecessary to this primitive people. The
only fabric used in that part of the world
Is crude, tough paper made Of bast. The
tree from which the material is derived is
the paper mulberry, or Broussonetfa papy-
rifera, which is grown in plantations under
the sole charge of women. and is also found
wild in all parts Of the islands In archi-
pelagoeS so highly advanced as Samoa and
Tonga, where women have none of the
coarser work to do, the entire care of the
mulberry plantations rests with the wo-
men of each village.
The trees are planted closely to insure a
spindling growth, without lateral branches
The plant will grow from seed: in such a
climate there is no difficulty about getting
things to grow. but experience has shown
that better results follow the planting of
twigs from the Sturdier wild trees In
about three years from planting the tree
will be in the best condition for the cloth
makers. In that time it will attain a
height of twelve feet or more, and the
trunk will have a uniform diameter of
rather less than two inches. About four
feet of the trunk are waste, and not avail
able for the particular purpose for which
the tree is grown. The first two feet from
the base are too tough to work well and
the two feet at the top are too soft. If the
tree is properly grown and left to mature
there will be available for the clothmaker
a stick of eight feet in the clear and as
straight as measuring rod, without knots
or branches and of uniform girth through

What the czar and his advisers desire
Is easy to imagine, said the political
writer. "It is the domination of the orient,

ton that boasts, as one of its great works.
Of having emancipated women, the eastern
philosophy that guides the policy of the So
ciety should find its feminism make the
most obvious and striking Of its effects OF
comparison? Have you remarked that in
all the Russian official ceremonies, in all
the important political acts accomplished
by the czar, the czarina occupies her place
beside the cZar? Have you remarked that
the Car of Russia is really the only Euro
pean sovereign who invariably employs this
significant formula: The empress and ~
1T is perfectly well known that the dow
ager empress played and continues to play
an active role in the politics of the en-
pire," concluded the mysterious Russian.
Again, even in the Nihilistic movement.
have you not remarked the great number
of women, young girls even. revealed here
and there in lightning flashes of public in
formation, as active and equal co-workers
with the men? In its colony of Russian
students the Paris Latin Quarter views
with surprise the great, almost preponder-
ating, number of young girls. They study
medicine, chemistry and mechanics as well
as music, literature and philosophy; and
they are not anarchists. The Latin and
Anglo-Saxon Free Masonry is exclusively
masculine. The White Free Masonry on
the contrary, puts woman-not on a pedeS-
tal-but side by side with man, as the
mother, spouse and counselor"

Muscle and Books,

from SnlcaRO tribune.
Physical culture as it Is taught in the
public high schools of today comes de-
lightfully near to meeting with all Of the
requirements planned for 1t a score Of
years ago by progressive educators, who
were. at that time, looked upon as ideal
lists. Until 1890, though much had been
accomplished in the way Of contriving
novel modes Of teaching and study, it was
plainly to be seen that the increased de-
mands Of the school curriculum, however
be eneticial mentality, trended to endanger the
child physically. The burden was becom-
ing greater than the strength to bear It,
In latter days it has grown to be a well
recognized fact that every child mind is CO.
ordinated with body to be properly devel-
oped. That the physique should be care
fully looked after is now as freely con-
ceded that the verb should be made to
agree with it's subject In person and num-
Der. Appliances have been put into tho
high schools all over the city for the fur
therance of physical training, that leave
little to be wanted in this direction The
apparatus is perfect in the most minute
detail. The gymnasiums are large well
lighted and well ventilated.

Morocco in Decay.


Morocco flares up feebly now and then
as a subject Of interest, demanding para
graph or two in the newspapers. A Riff
outrage, a rumored advance of France in
the direction Of Taflet (few people know
where Tafilet isD. a Photographic extrava-
gance Of Abdul Aziz. or the abduction Of a
Spanish boy and girl by unsubdued noun
taineers take their place among "snippets.'
to be forgotten the next day. In truth,
Morocco is a terra incognita, which is sup
posed to be interpreted by ten days at the
hybrid seaport of Tangier, or call at the
coast ports in one of Forwood's comfort
able steamers. A number Of worthless
books on the country, and a few which are
admirable. have failed to interest and en-
tighten the general public, so that when
ever the great upheaval comes, and the
decaying empire is brought into prominence
by the European complication of which its
destinies will be the occasion, little more
will be known of the causes of its decay
than If it were province Of Mars.

Egyptian Lotus in Colorado.
I'M the Denver Times.

An Egyptian lotus flower, the first in
Colorado, has been grown by R. V. Pickett
Of Lakewood. The flower ceased blooming
with the autumn, after having had six
blooms during the summer. Mr.. Pickett is
member of the state horticultural board,
and has wide experience as a florist and a
gardener. He has only one plant Of the
.otus. The lotus grows in water about two
feet deep, putting up a large round leaf
from a stem directly in the center The
leaf Is covered with a velvety nap, which
keeps drops of water from penetrating its
texture, so that they will roll around on
its surface like drops of quicksilver. The
flower comes late in the summer, being
put forth on a thin stalk projecting about
foot over the leaf The flower is Of a
delicate peachblow tint and has a strong
though delicate odOr, quite unlike the per-
fume of any other flower. 1t is about eight
inches in diameter. and shaped somewhat
like a tulip. 1t lasts three days and then

around the rigging Of the vessel until the
shore had faded in the distance. Then the
insects lighted on the masts and decks. A
few disappeared in the night and were de-
stroyed in the water or reached the shore
in safety Some Of the others crawIed
away in the cabins and hold of the ship.
After a trip of thirty days the vessel
reached New York. and from their hiding
place in the ship a few of these butterflies
emerged and flew ashore. Thus an entirely
new species Of butterfly was introduced
into this country.

Notable COlOred Men.

From Leslie's Weekly.
So much is said about the industrial train
ing of negroes that little is said and known
about the leaders of the race who are
arising in the departments Of higher edu-
cation and culture. Booker 7. Washington
is we'll known as the president Of an indus
trial institute. But there are others who,
in their several departments, are as ad-
vanced he. Charles w. Chestnut is an
author, novelist. Paul Lawrence Dunbar
is poet, a dialect poet. DR.. w. Z. 3. Du
Bois is a sociologist. Henry o. Tanner, Of
whom we wish to give particulars, is an
artist, residing in Paris, where no color
line of race prejudice is drawn, and his
paintings are attracting attention in Eu-
rope. His Raising of Lazarus hangs in
the Luxembourg Palace, and he is consd-
cred a sure winner of post-mortem place
in the Louvre, in which no painting of a
living artist is ever hung. Mr. Tanner is a
pronounced man religiously. He is the son
of Right Rev. Benjamin Tucker Tanner of
the bishops council of the African Metho-
dist Episcopal Church. Hence his subjects
are largely biblical, and are suggested both
by the Old Testament and the New. His
characteristic subjects have been Daniel
in the Lions Den," THE Jews Waiing
Place." The Flight into Egypt" and The
Annunciation' AS a rule he produces one
painting year During two years of
Flight into Egypt" and his Jews Wall
ing Place" He is only thirty-two years of
age. His first important painting was
"Narragansett Bay" His "Bag-Pipe Les
son" hangs in the home of a wealthy Phila-
delphian. We believe that the negro talent
for music will ultimate produce vocalists
and instrumentalists of high rank The
American Missionary Association Is en- the
right track in aiming to train the leaders
OF the colored people in all professions.

DRESS AT OLD HARVARD.
Laws Regulated Clothing Worn by
Students.
From the ROStOn Herald

rFol tue boStoh Iieiaiu.
Several waistcoats which were worn by
Harvard undergraduates in the middle and
latter half of the eighteenth century, and
which have recently been added to the
unique collection of American costumes
at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston,
have the special interest of recalling the
strict rules regarding dress which prevail
ed at Harvard during the seventeenth and
eighteenth centuries, and fingered on well
into the nineteenth. A modest uniformity
of dress apparently was as much required
of the college student of a century ago,
at Harvard and elsewhere, as becoming
department and regular attendance, but
that the rule was at least partly founded
on a natural and reasonable argument,
and was not wholly dependent on the tra-
dltons of the English schools and col
leges or on the manners Of a less demo-
cratic age, is perhaps shown by the natural
revival, during the last ten years, of tn"
Oxford cap and gown for formal academic
occasions.
AS late as 1898 the dress Of the Harvard
student one may read in the Laws
of the college, consisted of black mixed
coat, single breasted, with a rolling cape
square at the end and with pocket flaps;
the waist reaching to the natural waist,
with lapels of the same length" 1t is eX-
planned that BLACK Mixed" called also
Oxford mixed, is black with not more than
fifth part of white. The senior was allowed
to support his dignity with three "crow's
feet of black silk cord on the lower part
of his coat sleeve. Two crows feet were
permitted to the junior, one to the sopho-
more, and none at all to the freshman.
