FIJIAN FIRE WALKERS.
Their Feet Not Blistered by Heat That
Melted Solder.

Those who witnessed the coronation
procession win doubtless recollect
small group of copper-colored soldiers
with bare legs and outstanding hair inno-
cent of covering. These strange people
Fijians-and their ancient ceremony of
the yilayilairevo. or fire walking, were
the subject of q paper read by w. l..
Allardyce, &. Nj. IT,, at meeting of the
Roya Colonial institute recently. Ad-
miral Sir n. Bowden-Smith presided.
The ceremony of fire walking, Mr.. Al
lardyce explained, is performed by GER
tain tribe at the Island of Bega, and
originated in a legend that in reward for
having spared the life of man he had
dug out of the ground, one TUT Qualita
was invested with the power of being
able to walk over red-hot stones, without
being burned. An earth oven is made
and filled with layers of wood and stone.
In this a fire is kindled about twelve
hours before the fire walking takes
place, and, when the hot stones have
been exposed by brushing away the char
coal, the natives, under the direction of
a master of ceremonies, walk over them
barefooted.
The temperature at the edge of the
oven is about 100 degrees Fahrenheit,
while on one occasion, when a Their
mometer was suspended over the stones,
it registered 2S2 degrees and the solder
was melted Yet, stated Mr. Allardyce,
after the ceremony the natives show no
signs of the terrific ordeal through which
they have gone. By means of number
of views the lecturer gave realistic
idea of the ceremony as performed now
adays.
Vice Admiral Lewis Beaumont de-
scribed a fire walking ceremony as wit
messed by himself. Although those who
took part in it showed no signs of dis
comfort he remarked that apparently
they did not like it over much.
Replying to questions. Mr., Allardyee
said the only explanation he could give
of the apparent immunity from harm fol-
lowing ON the process was that soles of
the feet of the natives were hardened TO
an unusual degree through constant
walking on a sandy soil covering coral,
which became exceedingly hot under the
sun. There was also the element of
absolute belief by the natives in the
legend that they were proof against fire.

Got Off Ea sy.

They were talking of the recent robber-
les III the lieutenants room, at the Fair
mount avenue station. and Heaton said
It was remarkable that none of the ras-
Gals were run down. Magistrate Scott
said, when his turn came around:
1t was worse than this twenty wears
ago. | remember a time when it wasn't
safe to cross the Schuylkil after dark.
Hold-ups were of nightly occurrence and
men went armed or stayed at home. They
used to tell story of a man crossing the
walnut street bridge at midnight who
was beset by three highwaymen. He
fought them tooth and nail and when.
at last. they overpowered him they were
bleeding, their clothes were torn and they
were all but total wrecks.
Their victim was an freshman. and
when they had him down and bound his
tongue was still free, and he berated Them
roundly. An this time they were turning
his pockets inside out and when the ioh
was done they found just II cents.

robbers. To think we've had all this

Odd Typewriting Mistakes.

Even the best operators make mis-
takes in typewriting sometimes, re-
marked a young woman who manages a
small typewriting agency, land it is odd
how the change of a letter or the omis-
sion of space between words will some
times alter the meaning of a whole SEN
tence. During Bryan's second presiden-
tlal campaign man of this city, friend
OF the candidate, received letter from
him which ran as follows:
Dear So-and-So-I expect to reach
New York on the 10Th, and shall beat
the Grand Union hotel for two days.
Yours, ETC., w. ]. Bryan
Even the westerner's political oppo-
nents would scarcely believe that he
would descend to evading a hotel BILL but
the recipient of this letter puzzled over it
at least minute before it dawned upon
him that the typist had run two words
together, thus changing an innocent an
nouneement into very shady one"
That reminds me- said another wom-
an in the office, ''of a typewriter letter
my brother received from an acquaint-
ance, lady, who was staying in a coun-
try town. Among other things she said,
.Ihls place is becoming very lonely
Please send me the rats I wanted. at
once-' You know it's fad with some
women now to keep white rats for pets.
and my brother was tearing his hair over
the necessity of shipping a consignment
OF those animals to our friend, when he
suddenly remembered that some time ago
she had asked about prices of tickets to
Florida, and that it was railway rates.

HUMoR OF THE REVOLUTION.
A Colombian General Who Would Not
Fight Without Milk in His Coffee.

The Colombian revolution, although so
terrible in its results, was not without
its humorous features, writes Thomas s.
Alexander in the Worlds Work. One
of the funniest of these was the incident
of the general who would not fight with
out his milk Gen. Perez was in COM
mand of the government troops at Cali.
One day news arrived that the Liberals
had captured a neighboring town. Perez
was ordered to start with his army at
o'clock next morning to attack them. He
went to the barracks, made a patriotic
speech to the soldiers, and told them 10
parade ut the appointed hour. Then he
sauntered into the Hotel America, Calls
finest restaurant. and ordered coffee for
6:30 in the morning.
The troops were lined up Mt that hour
outside the hotel. and the general strut
ted to and fro, waiting for his coffee and
he was going to do to the enemy. But
a complication arose. Perez had not
been q general long, but he wanted milk
in his coffee, whereas nine Colombians
out of ten are content with black coffee.
There was no milk. The cows are kept
three or four hours journey out of town,
and, of course, milk cannot be kept over
night in that tropical climate. The hotel
folk figured that the milk could not ar
rive before IL o'clock.
The general fumed and fretted. Some
of his officers suggested that he had
better start without the milk, or the
enemy would escape; but ne said il was
impossible to fight on black coffee He
sent soldier post haste TO fetch the
milk, and then another after him to hur-
~ him up. Meanwhile the army stood
in the broiling sun for hours, awaiting
the order to march. Ii was nearly noon
when the messengers returned.
Nh.Nxs snI
"Carambai Then / won't march till
tomorrow"
And the general dismissed his men and
would not 90 until next morning. after
his cafe au lait. or course, when he
reached his destination the Liberals had
flown, and he was deprived of his giori-

Quite Easy.

Now, guard" said Mr.. Pilkington,
remember if | have this carriage all to

receive half a crown from me-
Very good said the guard, and he
locked the door and went to his van to
think out how he would invest the half
crown when he got it. All went well till
they got to a station about the middle of
the journey, and then an irascible old
gentleman pulled at the door of Pilking-
tons carriage as If he were pulling for a
prize in a tug-o'-war
Guard! Guardw he roared, 'sopen
this door! / know your tricks, and /
won't countenance 'em. I've got the
right to travel in this carriage, and

The guard hurried up; but, wonder of
wonders, he whispered a few words to
the irascible gentleman, and that indi-
viduall went quietly away to seek room
elsewhere.
How did you manage it?" Pilkington
asked the guard at the end of the jour
ney, as he pressed the promised half
crown into his hand. How did You
manage to get that bad-tempered chap to
go away so quietly?''
"Oh. that was easyr' replied the
guard. Il only just told i'm you were
