NOT GOOD FOR sAMoANs.
Civilized Clothing Responsible for
Much Pneumonia and Pleurisy.

"The natives of Samoa says Sur
geon Spear of the navy in recent re-
port t'are beginning to wear white
mems clothes, much to the detriment of
their health. The climate is essential
ly wet one. In former times a ma
tive would rub little cocoanut oil on
his skin and go out into the rain. and
when he reached shelter there was
nothing to dry but his 1ava-Iava' or
breech-cloth. The same native now
goes out into the rain, his modern
clothes soon become wet, and, before
he realizes it, he is chilled through. for
the rain in Samoa is always from de-
grees to 10 degrees colder than the at
mosphere. Pulmonary affections. such
as pneumonia, bronchitis and tubercu-
losis, naturally follow. The present
law prohibits the sale of alcoholic
beverages to the natives. AS matter
of fact, the natives care very little for
alcohol; they prefer their n2rive dirk,
kava.' The restriction is wise one
and should be continued
The Samoans are very superstitious
and when taken sick they imagine dew
lis are inside them. Almost every old
woman and man has a sure cure for
driving out these devils. This is &C.
complished by 1omi lomi' (massaging)
and by internal Administered ton and ex-
ternal application of various decoctions
made from leaves. If cure results,
the devils have been driven out; if,
on the other hand, death follows, the
devils are victorious.
The traders sell the natives a pat
ent pain killer which can be used
internally as medicine and externally
as a liniment- This medicine is very
highly thought of, and the rat:-'es will
tell you they have great confidence
in it; sometimes they name their chill
dren after it. A sick Samoan thinks
that he must walk when sick. his theo-
ry being that he must move about to
regain strength. If he cannot walk he
will bury himself under clothes, and it
is wonderful at times how they obtain
enough air to breathe.
THE usual treatment instituted in
case of pneumonia by the natives is
about as follows: The man sits up al
most continually: he is stuffed with all
sorts of food and decoctions to drive
out the devils, the number of devils be-
ing estimated by the amount of pain.
If much pleurisy exists, there are at
least eight devils in the chest, and it
requires energetic treatment to drive
them out. The man gets up. walks
about as long as he can, and when he
can no longer walk he lies down and
his head is covered up carefully so as
to exclude all fresh air. If the man
survives the ordeal his attendants con-
slider themselves experts in treating
that particular disease"

THE DERvIsH's PROPHECY.

The Empress Eugene will have sad
memories revived in her visit to Egypt
now When she last visited Cairo she
was in the enjoyment of all that the
world could give-beauty of a rare
type, admired by all, happy wife, a
proud mother, throne which she
gracefully occupied. 1t was at Cairo
that she heard of celebrated dervish
and determined to consult him. Thick
yelled and disguised, she went,
accompanied by one of her ladies in
attendance, to see him. On entering
his abode the dervish rose, made a
low obeisance and addressed her
thus: Welcome, you are thrice
welcome to my humble dwelling, O
Empress.' Eugene, vexed and aston
ished, replied: How do you know
that ! am an empress, and who told
you | was coming here?" The dervish
answered. "The stars and Mahcmot
know everything. ! knew since your
arrival in Egypt that you would come
to me, and have patiently waited
every night, fer afterward | am COM
manded by Allah to make my last
journey to Mecca and die"
Inc empress, very frightened, was
getting up to leave, for she began to
lear this mysterious man, but sum-
mon1ng courage, she said in naughty
tone: ut is true that | am the en-
press, though no one llrows it but my
attendant. Tell me what you can of
my future tell me all. and tell me
truly at the same time Offering him
ner hand and showing him the palm
to examine; hut the old seer never
touched her Jewelled fingers Rails
ing himself to bis full height and
drol ring his staff, he held his hand
alolC as an invocation to Allah. Look
ing down Diteously on the dark figure
81 the empress, he murmured slowly:
There is nc God but God and Ma
homet IS His prophet. At your birth
the stars foretold for you great power
and greater sorrow, for your happi-
ness will only be temporary, but your
sorrow will last forever You are
doomed to lose your throne, your hus-
band and your son and wander alone
throuSh the world like a lost star.
These events will not happen at
once, for the blow would kill you. To
YOU as On empress it will not be per
united to enter the lard of your hus.
band or son except by permission Of
those you despise. You will have TO
seek home with strangers, and the
dross of woe Will never leave your
form, your jewels will be but tear
drops | have said" He had scarce
y ceased when the empress, terrified
and angry, threw at his feet a purse
OF gold, crying out: you base I'M
poster, take the fruit and reward or
your lies ard let me out of your CEN"
Then, rushing rrirdly ont, she ran
swiftly away. This strange and IN.
happy prediction was made in 1869:

TELEGRAPHERS STRIKE.
Action Follows Lockout by Two
Northwest Roads.

st. Paul. Aug. "A general strike
of telegraphers on the Great North
ern and Northern Pacific railways
was ordered at II O'Clock last night
by President Perham Of the order of
railway telegraphers. He is confident
that by this noon 95 per cent. of the
operators will be out.
Upon the breaking off Of negotla
tons between the railway officials
and representatives of the telegraph
ers yesterday General Manager Horn
of the Northern Pacific followed the
example set by the Great Northern
and gave orders for a general lock
out of all the telegraphers on the
company's lines who refused to sign
the revised schedule and as cement
relating to rules and wages. Gener
eral Manager Horn stated that about
rs per cent, of the men were signing
the schedules The percentage on
the Great Northern is slightly under
20. Substitutions are being made
wherever possible for the men who
go out.

GOVERNMENT SCIENCE.

News comes officially fom the United
States Fish Commissioner that the
Ceratophyllum demersum grows with
out roots and that other aquatic
plants attain considerable growth
without roothairs.
The State Icnthyologist of Massa.
chusetts also publishes a pamphlet
through the United States Department
of Commerce and Labor in opposition
to the common misnaming of different
fishes. He opposes the application of
the names of cod and trout to the hex
agramimls along the Pacific coast. He
also protests against the custom in GER
tain parts Of Maine Of applying the
name trout to fish which are properly
not trout but Christivomer namaycush.
These facts are manifestations of the
growing university of the functions
OF the United States Government. 1t
Will not be long before every depart
ment OF research, investigation and
learning will have an official branch of
the Federal Government.

found that Cupp had received the
greatest number of votes. The
mayor.elect declared that his pledges
made before election would be put
into execution at once.
A look at Caldwell, the Caldwell Of
the past, immediate and ancient, Is
necessary to an understanding Of what
Cupp undertook when he made his
daring stand for better ways of civic
living.
Thirty years ago Caldwell was
tough in the real out-and-out accepta
ton of that term in the west. Being
centrally locat"l to dozen or more
big ranches, 1t was but natural that
the town was chosen as the rendezvous
for the gatherings Of cowboys and
others of like ilk.
Gradually, with the slow decadence
of old-time men and methods in the
west the town grew a bit better.
Gambling houses, saloons of all de.
grees remained, however, fostering and
spreading like a moral ulcer. There
were many OF such places when Mayor
Cupp took the presiding officers seat
at the first council meeting under the
new political status of the commun.
ity.
This meeting Of the council will be
opened with prayer instead of a
corksCrew," the mayor said. He
prayed for strength to combat the
evils he had arrayed himself against.
Much to their own surprise the mem
bers of the council joined in.
That strength came to Mayor Cupp
Is evidenced by the fact that weakly
supported by the aldermanic body
and frowned upon by public sentiment,
he has done what temperance leagues,
governors and what-not have failed
to do banished liquor absolutely from
town.

The Long Engagement.

Unless, providentially, the engaged
pair live far apart, so that they can
seldom meet, the CHARGES are that
they will spend so many evenings to-
gether and talk so much sentiment
that they will finally lose the glamour
of enchantment that should be theirs.
and become commonplace to one an.
other. When an engagement
stretches over five years, or six, or
seven, Alfred and Edith get talked
out. They take to reading instruc.
tive books aloud in the weary even
ings. There descends on them an
oppressive sense of having little to
anticipate. They girl begins to feel
the pressure on her nerves, and It
may be, is irritable and nagging. The
man chafes at the situation, and is
hit arbitrary; or, worse still, falls
asleep to the monotonous music OF
Edith's voice as she reads. Edith is
vexed, and friction Is often repeated.

Mother and Daughters MARRIAGE.

The relation between mother and
daughter is so affectionate, and the
former so adores the latter when she
energies from childhood into her
grown-up estate, that she cannot let
this beautiful period slip away, and a
different period begin, without feeling
a pang, almost a wrench. Just as
Edith is old enough to be her compan-

daughter can, along comes Love, an i'm
perious claimant, and snatches her
away. The mother cannot complain.
She herself was wooed and won In her
day of girlish beauty and triumph, ana
her mother had to resign her to
