QUEER THINGS IN oFFERToRY.
Odds and Ends Contributed by West
Indian Natives.

Odds and ends, and as queer a col.
lection as n could Lope to see, are
found amongst the offertory contribu-
tons of the natives of Bugotu, in the
British Solomon islands. 1t is no
rare thing there for the minister to
draw from the collection box a string
of red beads, which, providing 1t
measures the length of the arms out
stretched, is coin of the realm equal
ing a form, but strings of white beads
of the same length are but as the in
significant t~hree-penny bit. Other
articles among the collection on the
last Bible Sunday in connection with
the Melanesian Mission church were
white armlets, each equal in value to
a shilling; pieces Of tortoiseshell, a
bamboo box such as Is used to carry
lime for betel-chewing, a fine string
bag, and a piece of the native cloth in
which the Bugotu women wrap their
babies to protect them from the Me-
lanesian insects. The whole collection
on that particular Sunday was sold
for G31 1Os.-no Insignificant figure.

Addresses Party Gathered at the
Banquet Board.

appointed by congress and is making
a tour of the western states, arrived

irrigation committee. spoke in part as
follows:
The reclamation service has been
most actively and successfully inaugu-
rating work under the national reclaim
alton law. We have been much graf
flied to find that the work has been
pressed with all possible execution in
all the states and territories affected
by the law. and while it is true that
construction has not been undertaken
in all of the sixteen states and terri
tories, we congratulate you in Montana
that this is the n state with two
projects in immediate prospect and pre-
pared for contract"
Among those in the party were f.
H. Newell, chief of the reclamation SER
vice; Senator Newlands, Nevada; Rep
resentative Mondell and wife, Wyo-
ming; Representative A. E. Cooper,
Pennsylvania; Representative Reed of
Kansas, Representative Jones, Wash

ior department, c. ]. Blanchard of the
