Fond of Smoking.

Smoking in church is Dutch custom
Dutchmen are such inveterate smokers
that one of them is rarely seen without
his pipe He finds himself unable to
deprive himself of the indulgence even
for the short period Of church SER
vice. A similar practice exists in sew
eral churches in South America. Smok-
ing in churches in Great Britain is said
to have been prevalent at the end of
the sixteenth and the beginning of the
seventeenth century. At one time smok-
ing was carried to such an excess in Sc
vile Cathedral that the Chapter ap-
piled to the Pope for power to repress
the abuse. Urban VIII, yielding to
their wish, issued a bull, which was
promulgated Jan. 80, 1912. In Wales
smoking in church was INDUCED in as
late as 1850. In one church the COM
munion table stood in the aisle, and the
farmers were in the habit of putting
their hats upon it, and when the service
began they lighted their pipes and
smoked, without any thought of irrev-
erence in the act.

The Naming of Sambuno.

Sambuno C'the only complete baby
on the Mississippi'O toddled over the
gangplank to a game of tag with a
friendly yellow pup. Old Man Wood
ward leaned against the cabin wall and
watched him foldly.
"Yas-suh," he said refectively, chat
air SamDuno am sholely wonderful
chill"
"Where-at did y'all get that name,
Brother Wood'a'd| softly inquired the
Adventist preacher.
well, sub, I'll tell you. Expectin'
that air chill, we was a-layin' at Buny

to that air name, Buny, an made up ou'
minds that eff it come a gal chill we'd

male chill. But somehow we jes' could

method, determination. Gradually the
Caribs yielded before the superior races
and in one island after another they
disappeared.
During the years when the Euro
peans were struggling to place it in
subsection, the Carib race was under
going constant changes. Intermarry
ing with fugitive black slaves and al
lowing jargon mixture Of the French,
English and Spanish languages to creep
in among them, they steadily lost much
of their former originality.
Finally, after long and bloody con-
tentions In which savage cunning and
primitive weapons endeavored to cope
with the white mans gunpowder and
strategy, the Caribs, reduced to mere
handful, disappeared save in their last
stronghold, the island Of st. Vincent.
This island the Spaniards had not
deemed worth the cost of conquest, and
the English, when they took possession,
gave the Caribs a small reservation in
the mountains. Here they were allowed
to live unmolested, In a state of semi
savage independence.
For many years these people formed
the most interesting part Of the popu
lation Of St. Vincent. Their homes were
little huts of primitive construction and
their custom and appearance retained
many traits of their previous wildness.
The white man had prevailed upon
them, however, to don wearing apparel
to some extent and they had learned to
occupy themselves with small farming
and fruit growing. Their principal &C.
cupation was Discriminating, at which
they were marvelously proficient One
Of their products in this line was
basket whose strands were so skillfully
woven that it could be used as a recep-
tacle for water.
These Caribs Of st. Vincent, although
known as black Caribs, owing to their
mixture with the negroes, were nearer
the original type than any other de-
scendants Of the race. In Honduras
there is branch of the tribe, but so de-
generate is it that it is scarcely recog-
nizable.
1t is said that an early prophet of
these people gave voice to a prediction
that the race would one day be de-
stroyed by the fire-god whom they wor-
SHIPPED. Surely, in the torrent of death
that flowed from the fiery mouth of
Soufriere, this prophecy was most am
ply fulfilled.

Indies, has been wiped from the face

Indies, has been wiped from the face
of the earth.
In small valley near the slopes Of
the volcano Soufriere, on the island of
st. Vincent, dwelt the last little band
Of Caribs. While St Pierre was yet
writing in agony, Soufriere belched
forth its fiery wrath and the lives of
the entire colony in the valley were cut
short in the twinkling Of an eye.
The Caribs were once powerful and
numerous race Of aboriginal, red In
dams, inhabiting the north coast Of
South America and the nearby islands.
They were a fierce and war-like race,
relentless and cruel in battle and were
almost continually at war with the less
aggressive tribes of the neighboring
islands. They were well-built and
muscular people, expert in the use Of
the bow and arrow, and skilled in wa
tercraft. They cruised about the waters
of the Caribbean Sea in long, light
boats, capable Of carrying fifty men,
and succeeded in establishing them
selves on nearly every island of the
Antilles.
The Caribs were addicted to canni-
balism. In fact the word "cannibal'
seems to have been corrupt derivation
of "carib." They not only ate human
flesh to appease hunger, but had pc
culiar custom of drying the limbs of
distinguished enemies whom they had
killed in battle and of preserving them
to be passed around for eating at spe-
cial occasions as a sort of ceremony. In
their wild state they saw no necessity
for clothes and consequently were in
variably nearly naked. Their form of
religion, in common with many Of the
nations in South and Central America,
was one of fire worship.
When the French. Spanish and En-
gfish conquered and occupied the An
titles they tried to enslave the Caribs.
This they found impossible of accom-,
plishment SO they began the other

REvERE'S HOUSE FALLING INTO DECAY.

Paul Revere's house in Boston, Mass.
Is sadly in ned of repair. The ravages
Of time are visible to even the most
casual observer, and unless something
is done speedily to preserve it those
who value 1t as a relic of Revolution
airy times will soon see the last of it.
The house was probably 100 years
old when Revere purchased 1t, some
years prior to the Revolution, and was
In it's palmy days one of the very best
Of its class.
Just now the ancient house is unoc-
cupied, save for a store upon the
ground floor, but its interior has re-
Gently undergone quite remarkable
transformation with view to render
ing it attractive for light Housekeeping
among the Italians, who are most like
" to reoccupy it. The little stuffy store
in which Paul Revere could never rec
ognize to-day his once coy parlor is
now devoted to the sale Of Itlain gro
ceries, a stock Of edibles, strange to
the eye Of an American, occupying

allow three or four persons to turn
around in. One might visit the place
every day for month and never hear
word of English spoken, either by the
proprietor Or his patrons.
The ancient kitchen in the rear Of the
store was long since subdivided into
various apartments, one Of which Is
bedroom; another, containing the OLD
fireplace, being now merely a deposi-
tory for barrels Of rubbish. Nobody
now knows anything about it, but 1t Is
probable that the second and third
floors bear little resemblance to-day TIC
what they did in Revere's time, for he
moved away about 1895, and since then
the house has been devoted to variety
Of uses.
The earliest changes were probably
made half century ago, when Lac

ter. The population Of POmpeii at
that time is thought to have been
about $4,000, most Of whom, in some
manner, managed to escape. 1t is re-
markable that but few bodies or skele-
tons have been eXhumed during the
process of excavation, and this fact
leads to the opinion that the eruption
did not come entirely without warn
ing.
For centuries the surface of the lava
bed over the dead city remained un-
broken, the people seeming to have lost
trace of the location of the buried city,
and it was not until 1749 that some
objects found by peasant attracted
the notice Of Charles III. Of Naples and
led him to make experimental eXcava-
tons. After some encouraging dis
coveries had been made, the work was
allowed to lag until, in 1861, the gov
eminent Of Victor Emmanuel appoint
ed the accomplished Fiorilli to super
intend the excavations. Since that
time the work has been conducted with
system and care and the extent and
Importance Of the discoveries have am
volved. The illustration shows the
Street of the Tombs, in Pompeii, as
it appears to-day.
Only one-third Of the city has been
laid bare, but findings of great interest
and value to the antiquarian and clas-
steal scholar have rewarded the re-
searchers. Among the important struc-
lures whose ruins have been uncover
ed are the amphitheater, the temple Of
Isis, the Forum Civille, the temples
Of Mercury and Jupiter, the Pantheon,
the Basilica, or temple of Venus, the
Chalcidicum, the thermae, or baths,
the court of justice, prisons and
tombs. Within the walls, many inval-
liable works of art, such as statues
and wonderfully preserved draperies
and paintings, have also been uenarth-
ed. The work of investigation goes on
steadily and it is believed that future
developments will add greatly to the
stock Of information and knowledge
already cleaned from the achievements
Of a people eighteen centuries dead.
The area inundated by the flood of
lava from Vesuvius, together with the
number Of victims, was less than that
of the West Indian upheaval, but the
latter will never attain the historic
eminence that has been accredited to
the ancient eruption. In the one In
stance, the works Of art of a great
people were rent into ruin, and even
in this condition remained wonderful
creations, while in the modern erup-
ton, death was dealt to land Of COM
paratively low intelligence and attain
ments and, beyond the appalling loss
Of life, the resurrecting Of that which
has been destroyed would mean but
little.

A Curious Mausoleum.

A monument to a pig was erected
years ago in the Hotel de Vile at Lune-
burg, in Hanover, Prussia, by the in
habitants of that town. The strange
memorial was in the form of a mauso-
leum, and contained a large glass case
In which was Theoretically inclosed a
fine ham cut from the animal whose
memory was to be handed down to
posterity. Above was a handsome slab
of black marble, on which engraved in
letters of gold, was an inscription in
Latin which may be thus translated:
"Passers-by contemplate here the NOR
tai remains Of the pig which acquired
for itself imperishable glory by the dis
coyery of the salt spring of Luneburg."

had a good, substantial, if plain, table,
in order to satisfy the appetites of such
a respectable and healthy set Of pa
irons.
On the second floor front are two
rooms, evidently once the best cham
bers. In the rear are three more rooms,
one Of which contained small closed
fireplace. Unless the house originally
had more chimneys than at present the
front chambers must have been without
means Of heating.
Opening into the best front chamber
is quite a remarkable old-fashioned
door, apparently the only one in the
house that has survived from Revere's
day. It is nearly two inches in thickness
and is heavily paneled with quite elab-
crate molding. Although broken, the
original old wrought iron hinges still
remain.
There was one occasion when Re
vere's house was the sensation Of the
town, and that was on the night Of
March 5, 1771, the first anniversary OF
the Boston massacre, when Revere
gave a sort of memorial illumination
quite characteristic Of him. The I'M
portance with which it was regarded
by the public is shown by the publlca-
ton Of a detailed description of it in
the local papers, an extraordinary thing
in those days of provincial Journalism.

A writer in a magazine makes an
amusing skit by depicting ]. Pierpont
Morgan as gobbling up all the warships
and armament Of the nations, thus
making war impossible. The concep-
ton contains a germ of truth. There
can be no doubt that the growing cost
of war must tend to prevent armed
hostility. The pocket nerve of modern
nations is extremely sensitive. The
South African war has cost England
8 billion and quarter Of dollars. HUI
mainly has indeed been staggered"
by the resistance of those Dutch farm
ers who perhaps at no time exceeded
40,o00 In arms. The imposition Of the
bread tax has brought the realization
OF war expenses close home to the Brit
ish taxpayer and has fastened the
peace negotiations. The world is not
yet ready to stand by the principles
enuneiated at The Hague peace confer
ence. Universal acceptance of arbitra-
ton Is doubtless long way off, Never
theless, the constantly growing cost of
war is the strongest deterrent influence
against the employment of armies.
