but would it not be pleasant to travel with the best of your own particular possessions at your hand. This Is the way the natives of the South Sea is- lands travel. It is most Imaginable and interesting, too, to watch these people In their daily life.
 With the ordinary citizen of our country trip or an extended visit to friends is 8 mosL momentous occasion, planned for months and enjoyed in an- ticipation. No such weighty consid- eration is ever indulged in by the sim- pier races.
 Suppose this to be a glorious morn ing at any season of the year, January vies with June in the splendor of her days, there is nothing special to do (there never isl, let us visit. We'll and good, we shall visit, whom, where? It matters but little, these islands are not large, generations of intermarriage have given relatives galore in every port. Enough, we make ready. Last year that forerunner of civilization, the travelling salesman, was in our midst, now, accordingly, we possess the sew ing machine, the kerosine lamp and the  bicycle. The white woman has come upon us, tourists are beginning to come this way and the strong arm of fashion has gathered us in, mats are going out of style and the Mother Hubbard Is coming on apace. These signs of prog ress are our greatest pride and where we go the sewing machine and the bi- cycle goes. I saw one family travelling accompanied by black iron bed with spiral springs.
 Into the long canoe goes these ar ticles of the domestic hearth, then piles of mats, of clothes there is probably not enough to bother about packing strings of beads go handily about ones neck and superfuous drapery hangs over the arm. Of course there are the pigs, dear family friends, why should they be left behind. In they go, legs tied together, and squaling like mad Now the babies, all in together, who

The little girl who said her pray

 she was going to the country and did
 not wish anything to interfere wuth
 her enjoyment set an example to the devotee of perfunctory farewelis. If he could be induced to condense tnlr- ty of his good-byes into one, he would

It is hard to understand why any one should take pleasure in put lie expression of sentiment, which lr it be genuinely regretful, carries pain Ito twa hearts, If 1t be grateful is dis tfnctly uncomphmentary, and if it be indifferent is meaningless; yet so er- ratic is human nature, that beings of this sort exist. Indeed, the break up of families after death or a wedding or the summer exodus, brings them out in such multitudes as to astonish

TREE
Discovery of Growth Called the Pap ava May Re ofInterest to New
 Jersey People.

M De Parville, in the Journal des De- bats, announces a discovery which should be of interest to Jerseyites and other dwellers beneath the curse of the mosquito-a tree which makes things so unpleasant for the pestiferous little insect that 1t will not come wihin a radius of 100 yards of the vicinity Tn which the tree grows. The tree is a native of China, and it's ef- feet on the insect was discovered by accident. In the English settle ment on the banks of the Si-Kiang river one of the houses surrounded by these trees (called papaya) was found to be free from the pest, while the other houses in the neighborhood were in fested by mosquitoes. However, after a cyclone, during which the papaya were demolished, the insects Appeared there in full force. The papaya has also the property of making meat tender when hung in it's branches, and this, together with the fact that the sap of the tree is used in medicine as an aid to diges- tion, would seem to indicate that its effect Is mi-digestive.

PORTABLE COTTAGES.
Carrying a Summer Home With one
 to the Country.

Carrying a Summer Home With one
 to the Country.
 A great advantage of the portable house for summer outings Is that it can be used every year in a differ enc place. A family maye have a change of scene every season. The cost of a portable house varies from $50 to $500 and is about one-third less than that of house of the some size built Dy carpenter.
 As summer cottages, they meet the needs of those who want to spend the summer in the country, but who call not afford to own house and lot, HOT to rent inexpensive country home. 1t Is an easy matter to hire a small Dot of ground either at the seashore or in the mountains, at low cost, and spend the summer in one of these houses. The cost of transportation by freight is not great, for they can be packed into very small space, each part being flat. They are not so plain as one might suppose, for many of them have piaZzas or wunSs, which mey be added if desired. 1 I know of such a house in which tt l family of four have spent their sum- mers at the seashore off several years. The house Is divided intotve 1 rooms-one used as a living room, 1 three of the\ other as bed rooms md one as kitchen.
 In the first place the house cost 5 them about S20O, the transportation about $1O, and they pay the landown- CT $50 year for the privilege of pur- ting up the house for the summer, | They find 1t much cheaper than ! board, and much more comfortable i than camping in a tent. Tn the wln- i ter the house is left standing or pack i ed away in nelghboring barn.

the most pessimistic critics of the ten dencies of our race.
 If there be anything sacred in a farewell between friends, 1t is not q subject for public exhibition; yet the chronic farewell maker always aluls to travel in gangs. He comes to the car or steamer in force. He stays till the last warning is sounded, and then gets underfoot and ill every 1 body's way, and risks a dozen lives of more value than his own in his nal rush for terra firma He intercepts the last word intended for another. He makes a mockery of the salemn thoughts that dwell in the hearts of those about to be separated and turns real grief to jet. He has a faculty for ineptness which would make hlm millionaire overnight if such talents commanded recognition in dollars and cents. His special fondness, even when seriously and most kindly in- clined, is to remind the aged mother that she may never see her child again, or to offer his sympathy to the husband OH having to leave the side of his invalid wife when life is. so uncertain.-New York Post.

 Between some of the larger islands goes small steamer, but the natives usually prefer their own canoe, and I have met 100 miles out at sea long canoe with a sail and perhaps a dozen oarsmen, all bright with gay color, the stroke keeping time to the lit of the happy song.

ARMIES AT BULL RUN
GREAT MIMIC WARFARE TO BE
 FOUGHT OUT THERE.
Thirty Thousand Regular Troops and Militia Are to Work Out War Problems on the Historic
 Battle Ground.

The roar of the cannon and musketry, din and clash of battle, the heavy tramp of marching armies and the thunder of the hoofbeats of the dashing cavalry which over 40 years ago shook the hills and the valleys of Virginia Is soon again to be heard upon the historic battlefield of Bull Run. It was here that the first great battle of the civil war was fought, and 1t Is here that the greatest army maneuvers which have ever been at tempted in this country in times of peace will be carried out. The battle of Bull Run, or battle of Manassas, as 1t Is re- ferred to in the south, Is to be fought over again. There will be no bloody carnage to be sure, such as marked the desperate conflict between the blue and the gray. and the features of gallant charges and desperate assaults will be lacking, owing to the improved engines of war, but the maneuvering of the 30,- 900 troops which will be present will be something more than military display. New problems of warfare which have arisen with the advent of the small bore, high-powdered magazine arm, the dead ly machine gun and the powerful, long range seize gun, will be worked out.
 The 30,000 troops from the regular army and the militia organizations will come from almost every state in the union east of the Mississippi river, and great benefits to both the regular es- tablishment and the militia organiza- tions are expected to result from the operations. The actual maneuvers will last from September to September 10, but the greater part of the regular troops and some of the militia will be on the ground before the former date and will remain for some time after the last of the sham engagements has been fought and the set problems of mimic warfare have been satisfactorily solved.
 Maj. Gen. Henry C. Corbin, former ad- jutant general of the army, and now in charge of the military division of the Atlantic. with headquarters at Cover nors island, New York, will Be in su- preme command, and the two divisions of the force under him will be com manded by Brig. Gen. J. Franklin Bell and Brig. Gen. Frederick D. Grant, son of the famous soldier president.

 Through it the chiefs are enabled to spy upon their agents, who are re- cruited in all ranks of society, and paid in proportion to their standing and services. It is, however, in pol~ ties and diplomacy that the. cabiner nOir works most actively. Often 1t is of supreme importance for a na- tion to know the instructions sent to this ambassador or that, and the con. tents of his dispatches. Of course l these communications are in cipher, but for the cabinet noir there are no crypto2raphic mysteries Even ci- phcr can be read. Documents of very great importance are sent by dipio- matic couriers and kings messen- gers" but this is exceptional. In the papers which have thus been stolen, read, copied and preserved in the se- cret archives of the various states, lies the real history which will some day ba written. Buna-Varilla's letters

KIDNAPPING IN DAYLIGHT.
Children Are Not Safe Alone in the Streets of Palermo, | Sicily

Sicily is still the land of surprises, and that one does we'll to pick his steps there is proved by an event which has recently taken place in broad daylight in the center of Pa lermo. which is the largest town in the island, and brides itself on be- ing up-to-date and well-to-do, says the Rome correspondent of the Pall Mall Gazette. The nephew of the minister of public instruction, Signor Orlando, a boy of 12, was on his way to school when he was suddenly seized by two men and hurried into 8 carriage and gaIloped off.
 Fortunately an army officer saw the affair from little distance, and as he ran after the carriage fired his pistol into the air repeatedly to attract at tention and guards and citizens quick ly joined in the pursuit. Meanwhile the driver whipped hls horses furious ly, being urged on by his companions, while they held the struggling boy, who, being gagged, could make no outcry, but showed that he had gone in for gymnastics by the determined resistance he made and the strength of his kicks and punches.
 Eventually two policemen, Nseeing the galloping horses coming toward them, and hearing the cries, succeed ed in barring the way, and the two men In the vehicle, seeing all was lost, jumped out, but were soon caught. On one of them was found letter, ready to be sent to the father of the boy, demanding largo ransom, and threatening dreadful things if they did not get what they wanted.
 And all this in Palermo. in day light.

the Second division, under Gen. Bell, will be encamped at Thoroughfare. more than ten miles away, and will be uni formed in khaki, s. .-
 The ambulance, medical and signal corps of the militia organizations will accompany the troops from their states and participate in the operations.
 The high officers of the army who are now engaged in working out the details of the maneuvers are satisfied that when, after five days of fighting of march and of countermarch, of night attack and armed surprise, the regulars and the militia rest on their arms they will have B better idea of the general scheme of war than they could possibly obtain in any other way. And they believe, too that the men of the blues and of the browns, after they have listened for days and nights to the roar of artillery bom- bardment, the crash of infantry volleys and the vicious drumming of the ma chine guns, will return to their posts or to their homes with a very wholesome respect for the instruments of modern , war and a vastly increased knowledge ! of how to use them.
 The area of operations of the union and confederate forces before and dur. ing the Bull Run engagements was bounded by Centerville on the east Groveton on the west, Sudley Spring or the north and Manassas on the south and 1t is to this famous square that the maneuvers will be confined.
 Officers of the army who have been al Manassas and Thoroughfare recently ] laying out the camps of the various di visions and brigades, say that the battle field itself and the country roundabout has changed very little since civil wal days-so little. in fact, that the maps used by Beauregard. Johnston and Nc Dowell in July, 1861, and those uset later by Jackson, Longstreet, Lee anC Pope at the second battle of Bull Run fl August, 1862, would still serve to guide the opposing armies of the blues and tn, browns through the woods and hills pastures and fields of Prince William county to-day.
