NOVEL RECRUITING METHOD
'Laborers for Queensland Sugar Fields
Attracted by Photograph and
Stereopticon.

Thousands of the natives of Polynesia
are needed to work on the sugar and 9TH
| er plantations of Queensland. These
plantations are in the low coast regions;
and as the climate is tropical, white la
Dor is not successful, says the New York
Sun.
For many years sailing vessels have
been visiting the islands to recruit Ka-
nakas for the Queensland plantations.
The trade gave rise to abuses which have
been suppressed by law, but the natives
are not now SO eager to emigrate as for
merly, and it is hard work to fill the YES
sells.
A sea captain of the Kanaka trade has
introduced new method of making en-
igl alton attractive. Before he sailed
from Queensland year ago he visited q
number Of the plantations where South
Sea islanders are employed.
He had camera and phonograph.
Going from one plantation to another he
photographed groups of natives and also
took individual pictures of well known
fellows from the New Hebrides, Solo
mon and other groups
Then he brought the phonograph into
service. The best known natives, who
had large acquaintance in the islands,
were induced to talk into the instrument
and tell their friends the kind of life
they led in Australia, and how they were
getting along on the plantations.
These Photographed letters were OBJ
tanned from Kanakas who formerly lived
in about dozen Of the islands which the
recruiting vessels are in the habit of WIS.,
itlng. Then the ingenious shipmaster
had his photographs turned into lantern
slides, and off he sailed for the islands,
we'll equipped to astonish the natives.
According to Queensland newspaper
the scheme has been great success. The
captain had an ample supply of lantern
slides showing emigrants from each OF
the islands he visited
Everybody was on hand to see the
show and the natives were beside them
selves with delight when they saw the
well known visages of their friends and
acquaintance thrown upon the screen.
But the greatest wonder was when each
picture actually talked to the crowd in
the very tones and accents which many
OF the auditors connected with the man
upon whose face they were gazing.
The man sent them greetings from his |
plantation home 1000 miles away. He
told them he was doing we'll, that he
liked the life and that Queensland was
good place to come to. He talked about |
the country, the money he earned, and |
the good treatment he received.
Pictures were shown of the huts occu- |
pied by the emigrants, the fields they |
worked in.~and groups Of laborers whose
sleep appearance and smiling faces |
seemed to show that they were enjoying |
life.
The result is that the stereopticon
andp monograph have proved to be valu-
able recruiting agents. Even the natives
who have had the worst misgivings
about emigration become enthusiastic
converts to the idea when they see their
friends actually before them and hear
their well known voices.
The captain had no difficulty in making
up load, and other captains engaged in
the Kanaka trade say they are going to
employ the same expedient.

like a great many others who have
quit eating meat on account of the
meat trust, and are going to die in

mo, dad is going to stay in the

Where you going first?" asked the
old groceryman, as he opened the door
to let the odor of onion and burned
rag out of the room. What kind of
treatment do the doctors advise to
bring the old man around so he will
be himself again?"
"Well, they say he needs some ex-
element that will get that supposed
wrench out of his system.
They want him to go where he can take
baths, and gamble, and attend horse
races, and go into fast society, and
maybe have fight or two so as to
stir his blood, and we have decided to
take him first to the hot springs and
turn him loose, and we are packing

his face was just the color of salt pork,
and he said:
'Hennery, this excursion is going
to wind up in a tragedy, and if
die I want you to have a post-mortem
examination made, just to see if I am
right about those doctors leaving that
monkey wrench in me. For heavens
sake make the machine jump that

Gee, but when l saw those cattle
ahead and the machine running away,
l tried to pray, and then / steered her
towards an old rail fence that looked
as though it was rotten, and then
there was a crash, the air was full
of rails, and dad said: This Is no
hurdle race and we landed in field
where there was an old hard snow
bank. She went up on the side, hit
the frozen snow, turned summer
sault, the gasoline tank exploded and
l didn't remember anything till some
farmers that were spreading manure
in the field turned me over with a
pitchfork, and asked me who the old
dead man was standing on his head

around his neck AS soon as / came

no DOUBT about the circulation of his

"He got up, got his hat untangled,
told the farmers he was obliged to
them for their courtesy and then he
called me one side and said:
'Hennery, this attempt on your
part to murder me was not the sue
cess that you expected, but you keep
on and you will get me all right. Now,

New Hot-Water Bottle.

The up-ro-date hot-water bottle
lacks the water. In its place are coils
of fine wire. and when the bottle is
connected with the plug in an electric
lighting fixture, the current heats
these coils to the desired temperature,
which is maintained as long as needed.
The advantages are obvious. The bot
tie is neither too warm nor too cold.
1t does not scald, and 1t promptly gives
the proper heat without waiting for
water to boil -
