A Presbyterian minister, who is in
charge Of church in a fashionable
section of Philadelphia, says he is
gratified to observe that the plain, old
fashioned names are once more COM
ing into vogue. my attention has been
called to this in christening babies"
he said. "The fancy names for girls
are now very seldom used. The Mar
guerites, Maries, Babettes, Maybelles
you know the sty.e-have given way
to the good old names our mothers and
grandmothers used to bear Still,
there may be danger in going to the
other extreme. although as yet there
has been no indication of coupling two
names, such as Sarah Jane and Mary
Ann, which used to be done. But of
late a great many girl babies have
been christened with such good old
names as Ruth, Martha, Maria, Jane
and the like. "-Philadelphi Record.

SFMINOLES IN FLORIDA

The remnant II the once-powerful
tribe Of Seminole Indians comes in for
deal of sympathy among the people
who have taken up their homes in
Florida, writes a Miami, Florida, cor
respondent of the Chicago News Rec
ord. Those who are supposed to know
say there are not more than 600 Of
them left, and they are hidden away
in the everglades, very seldom max
ing their appearance among the white
settlers. That they do not increase in
number is owing to the fact, so it is
said, that the ravages of disease among
children have sadly thinned their
ranks. They are unable to understand
the nature of many Of their Affections.
do not know how to treat them, and
in consequence the race in Florida
threatens to become extinct.
The tribe was originally vagrant
offshoot of the Creeks. They gave
great trouble to the early settlers of
Georgia and Florida, and after a tedi-
Gus war an attempt was made to re-
move the remains of the tribe to In
dian Territory. This. however, was
an undertaking never fully accomplish
ed. For years they hid themselves in
the dense foliage Of the everglades.
In recent years the interior department
has endeavored to get title to some
Florida land with view to turning IT
over to the. Seminoles, bnt up to a
few months ago the abstracts OF the
tracts offered were not considered sat
isfactory by the department.. The mat
ter is still under consideration. The
legislature Of Florida at one time had
before it a measure to turn over solbe
land to the red men and their families
but this has not yet been done, so that
to-day they are running as wild as
at the time their warrior fathers set
foot in the region.
]. S. Frederick, a civil engineer Of
Miami, tells interesting stories of his
experience with the Seminoles and
their families. He has occasion once
in awhile to make his way by boat far
into the interior Of the southern part
of the state. The boat is tied up to
the banks of some stream while ex-
plorations Of the everglades are being
made. Frederick has some knowledge
of the Seminole tongue and has been
able to gather small numbers Of them
about his campfire. On one occasion,
he relates, his wife, who accompanied
him on the trip, was so much taken
with the bright faces and sparkling
eyes of the little Seminoles that she in
duced him to invite company of them
into the sloop to take dinner with tho
surveying party. The commissariat
was well stocked and about dozen
of the little red boys and girls sat
down at the table. Frederick says they
came near cleaning him out-in fact,
the larder was empty when the young
guests took their departure.
Frederick says the Indians live most
ly from the products of the hunt and
the gathering of roots and herbs, which
they trade at the stores within reach
of their homes. Like all Indians, they
are fond of colored goods and snowy
articles, and buy literally Of such
things. He says that while lingering
about the trading places they are seru-
pulously honest.

HOUSE BOAT LIFE.

For picnic race Hawaiians, white
and native, have a curious indifference
TO the charms of the houseboat In
more jnclement chimes the houseboat
is so popular a luxury that it has al
most come to be a necessity The re-
tired shores of San Francisco Bay. or
rather the coves and bights, are sell
dom left unvisited by the fleets of fam
lily arks that populate those waters
and at times Sausalito and Belvidere
are little Venices by themselves. 1t is
a cheerful sight when a dozen or more
households moor together and their
occupants make revelry by night; and
a peaceful one indeed when, at high
afternoon, the sybarites of the briny
shadows lie in hammocks or loll in
steamer chairs while the tide ripples
among the silent arks and the fishes
leap above the placid surface unvexed
by hook and line. They who enjoy the
Mainland summers most and at least
expense are the houseboat folk. Life
with them Is calmly unconventional:
sleep comes at will; appetites get zest
from the mountain breezes, sweeping
down over the water carrying the rare
medicaments of fir and larch: If neigh
bors are unpleasant one may pull up
anchor and drift away; if they are de-
sirable one may drift nearer to them.
one gets the good out of a vacation, the
good out Of the quiet life as nowhere
else
Who would believe after all this that
the houseboat Is a stranger to Hawaii?
We are a race of lotus-eaters and yet
the foating ark Is unknown to us. Ka-

n HAWAlFS EARLY POPULAi ON.

A contemporary remarks that when
Captain Cook discovered these Islands
he found nearly 5000 inhabitants"
Captain Cook estimated the popula-
ton at about 100000 and might as cas-
lily have said a million. He found no
census man here, as it was several
months before Brother Atkinson ar
rived, and he missed the local bureau
of statistics by about ninety-fiVe
years 1t is not on record that he did
much exploring, save along the coast,
and if he asked any of the Defries fam
lily or other aliis as to the number of
their warriors. they probably put the
figures large enough to curb any as
pirations the haole chief might have
had to stay and possess the land SO,
on the whole. we think the 500 600 story
and the 100000 story should be taken
cum grano sails. Cooks opinion on the
subject was about as valuable as would
be that of total stranger now, unable
to speak the language, arriving at a
small port on Hawaii or Maui and esti-
mating the population of the group
from the people he saw about him or
from the testimony of those who josh
ed" him in sign language.
AS al rune dDOFlSlndl populations are
small in comparison with the area Of
country in which they live. Having no
organized agriculture it takes more
land in such a society to support a sin
gle individual than is the case under
civilized methods; while the population.
such as it is, is continually decimated
by wars, famines. epidemics, domestic
savagery and the neglect of the very
young and the aged Ethnolog,ists now
believe that there were not more than
0OO,0 900 Indians roaming the continent of
North America when Cabot discovered
New England and Cabrillo the Pacific
Coast. If that estimate is true it puts
large Interrogation point against the
theory that there were nearly as many
people in Hawaii. Wars and other dec
imating agencies were active in both
places and the Hawaiians were less
mindful of their young than We're the
Indians.
Throughout Polynesia and Microne
STA no swarming populations have been
elsewhere reported; and we see no rea-
son to make Hawaii the sole exception.

ton of Hawaii in ITS and let it go at
that?

The reports current in Japan, that the
Japanese Government would take on
restrictions upon laborers bound for the
United States, is in line with the an
nouneement in the Advertiser that Ia
Dor from that source could be expected
soon. The representatives of the Jap
anese immigration Company who re-
turned make, an interesting statement
that OF the 5 1000 japanese who returned
to their homes within two years, the
majority wish TO come here again. This
would indicate that any new immigra-
