Island is termed the South island AS

Where Babies Swim.

II spend my winters in Samoa" said
a traveller. 1T is always summer
there. There the babies swim. Can
you imagine a quainter, a more charm
ing sight than a host of babies, none
over two years old, laughing and
growing and swimming like fish in
pools of clear sea water? You will see
this sight in Samoa. Samoan women
believe sea baths benefit babies, and
in that equable climate they battle their
little ones daily the year around. The
youngsters soon learn to swim. They
can swim before they can walk. And
to see these pretty brown babies swim
ming in the sea is well worth a 5000
mile trip to Samoa. "-Philadelphia Bull

Individual plates for table use were
unknown to the ancients, who held
their meat in their hands or employed
the fiat wheaton cakes then made on
which to hold their victuals. They are
first mentioned in A. D. 600 as used by
the luxurious on the continent, and in
the ninth century they had come into
common use both in England and on
the continent. They were made Of
wood or some kind of earthenware, the
former material being preferred be-
cause it did not dull the knives.
