until they discovered that some Of their
friends were not satisfied with the send-of
they had given the young couple at the house.
and had come to the station TO put on the

Now, it is the duty of all brides and BRIDE
grooms to appear pleasant no matter what

others as if they thought they were having
the finest time In the world. In few mo-
ments the announcer shouted his last call for
all points West, and the bride and bridegroom
were standing close together at the ticket
gate, saying final goodbys. when one Of the
most daring OF the party of tormentors pro-
duced a pair of handouts from his pocket
and fastened the iron wristcts on the left hand
Of the bridegroom and the right hand OF the

THE SUMNER CHAPERON.
Things That Make Her Popular and Also
Threaten Her IndOing.

There is a surprising difference between
the winter and the summer chaperon
During the season in town the chaperon
most in evidence is the mother of daughters
who are out, or just coming out. She
matroni2es balls, dancing classes, theatre
parties--every sort of entertainment, in
short, INDUCED in by young people.
With the arrival of summer and the mi
grafton to the country there comes change.
The winter chaperon may as likely as not
turn over her duties to her just-married
daughter.
SO long as Mrs" is prefixed TO her name
the age of the summer chaperOn does not
seem to matter The bride of few weeks
is Just as eligible for the post as her grand
mother--more so, in fact. This state of
things, in the opinion OF some conservative
people, is only a preliminary stage to hav-
ing no chaperon at all and is indicative Of the
growing independence OF American girls,
especially in summer.
On the other hand, the new order of sum-
mer chaperon is explained TO be a necessity
growing out of the fondness of the twentieth
century girl for outdoor sports and her
seeming ambition to illustrate the FEAST
are said to he too busy planning entertain
ments in which they themselves can find
enjoyment TO supervise automobile lunch
cons. four-in-hand picnics and dozen
other forms Of outdoor excursions that
help to keep time from hanging heavily
on the hands Of young people.
Whatever he reason, IL has come TO be an
unwritten rule to select as summer chap
eron young woman of about the same
age az the maiCens and men in the party,
This works well in two ways. The chaperon,
il has been discovered, is moi above mild
Irritation on her own account-a circum-
stance that keeps the odd man or men of
the party from having dull time More
over, she is too intent on having good time
herself to be overcrtical of the way her
charges enjoy themselves,
One of the most popular chaperons at a
summer resort last season was young
woman who was one of the Easter brides
and scarcely 20. From all accounts she
was not selected because of an endowment
OF gravity beyond her years, but mainly
for her uncommon fun-making propensities.
As result of her chaperonage, or lack
of chaperonage, there was a larger per-
centage Of weddings than usual last winter
in that particular set, the bridegroom in
several cases frankly confessing that the
most effective bit Of counting he managed
to work In was due to the chaperon. AS a
promoter of matrimony that particular
Young woman il an unqualified success, a
circumstance which has not increased the
popularity of the modern summer chap
eron in all quarters.
One Of the critics of the new state OF
things points out that marriage at any
cost is not the keynote Of American society,
and also that the marriage de conuendnce
is fast gaining ground over here. In other
words, although the American girl enjoys
enviable freedom in choosing a husband,
at the same time her mother is becoming
more and more expert in piling stumbling
blocks n the way OF undesirable sYit 2:

A large number of the people who had
climbed cocoanut trees for safety lost their
lives with the destruction of the trees.
The survivors were crowded together
within a radius of $50 feet. At last the
island was entirely submerged for several
minutes and no distinction could be made
between the lagoon and the high sea-
On the islets scattered along the eastern
shore of Hikuern the disaster was even
more sudden. In the space Of half hour
the houses and the inhabitants were swept
away by the waves with the exception OF
few natives who had taken refuge in
cocoanut trees which escaped destruction.
The captain Of the ship Excelsior says
that the appearance Of Hikuern after the
subsistence of the waves was pitiful. Every
thing had been turned topsy turvy by the
swirling avalanches Of water.

manned standing and served as place Of
refuge for 800 survivors looked like raw

out of existence. The soil on which it
stood had been washed away and nothing
was to be seen on its site excepting an eN-
panse Of coral.
Three hundred and seventeen bodies
were counted floating at the sea edge or
caught in the midst Of hesps of debris
More than eight hundred boats had been
destroyed The loss of property on this
island alone amounted at least to 600 900
francs.
Some Of the other islands suffered to an
equal extent. On Raroia three fourths Of
the cocoanut trees were destroyed and
strewn all over the island, where they lay
among the debris of the houses and Of
scores Of bo9ts which had been driven
inland some 900 to 800 feet from the shore.
Hao also was greatly changed. Seventy
three persons were drowned on the isla nd
Of Marokem.
or course, the greatest loss was in the
destruction Of human life. Nearly 800
natives persisted in the disaster. About
100 small sailing vessels and nearly 1000
boats were destroyed. The waters of the
sea poured over the lagoons and it is
feared that the pearl oyster fisheries have
been entirely ruined
When Bougainville, one Of the early dis
coverers Of this archipelago, named it the
Dangerous Archipelag 60" he had in view
only the perils which the many islands
and islets spread in the pathway of passing
vessels. He had no knowledge of such
cataclysms as that which has overwhelmed
Tllsmatu.
These evils, however, are not very rare.
As late AS 1878 many Of the isla nds were
partly overwhelmed by tidal waves; but the
destruction was far less terrible than that
of January last, which cost the islands
about n eighth Of their entire population.

YELLOW FEVER MOSQUITOES.
ONLY ONE VARIETY CONVEYS
THE DREAD DISEASE.
Experts or the Marine Hospital Service
Report That They Are the Only Means
Of InOculatlOn--A Parasite Does II.

WASHINGTON, July 1s--The first report
of working party No. /" of the Public
Health and Marine Hospital Service
on its Investigations as to the relations
between yellow fever and mosquitoes has
submitted an interesting report, which
not only conclusively sustains the theory
that the disease is propagated by the stings
of the insect, but goes even further, show
ing that that is the only means of inocula-
ton.
The party was composed Of Assistant
Surgeon Herman Parker Of the Marine
Hospital Service, and George E. Boyer and
DR.. o. l.. Pothier of Tulane University,
New Orleans, together with two bacteriolo-
gists detailed by the Mexican Government
to assist them.
They began their labors in May, 1907,
and continued them until the following
October, Vera Cruz, Mexico, being selected
because yellow fever is more prevalent
there than anywhere else,
The experiments included the nocuIa-
ton of prisoners from Mexican iails by IN"
bites of mosquitoes, which had fed from
patients with well developed cases of yellow
lever ana Nlln DlOOu from tHe pdt'H'T'
No results We're obtained from blood
inoculations, while the bites Of the insect

The party found fifteen different species
of mosquitoes in the vicinity of Vera Cruz,
but only one. the SteDomyiG fdscidtd, was
found to convey yellow fever. An Ell
tensive study Of this species produced
probably the most important result attained
by the vestigation.

APaEACHER's STRONG WoRrs
In Fighting for Temperance You Reach Those
the Church Cannot Reach.

To the Editorials one of the more
than 400 preachers of the NJ. E. Church,
South in North Carolina. / want to thank
you for the splendid work you are doing
for Temperance.
For years we have preached and prayed
and wept over this question. The day
begins to dawn for real reformations; do
not go backward. You are doing a work
which the churches could not do, be-
cause you reach people where the
churches could not reach.
From every standpoint this measure
should pass.
Ms Judge w. S. OBJ. Robinson once said
to me, ITO try to prove that prohibition
is right is like trying to prove that 2
and 2 make A."
But there is one phase of the matter
which no one, as I have seen, has touched.
that it would greatly benefit our colored
people They are as yet child race and
they need safeguards to save them from
themselves.
Recently I saw statement made ny
a prominent citizen of Mississippi to
reporter of the Washington Post in which
ne declared that the prohibitiory meas
ure in his State had been the salvation
of their negroes. 1t had removed the
stills and bar-rooms from the country
places and small towns thus taking the
temptation out of their way. 1t had made
better citizens and more useful laborcrs
and tenants of them.
While the greatest blessing had come
to them. yet a great benefit had come to
those who employed them.
Everybody who employs them to any
extent knows that strong drink is one
of the chief causes of their demoraliza-
ton as laborcrs.
The solicitor of this judicial district
said to me recently that these reople
were the chief supporters of the bar
rooms. | know that it is so in our town.
Is it the duty of the strong to protect
the weak? SO taught the Great Teacher.
Besides we have cur own homes 10 pro-

duced by Senator White week ago.
