WOMEN KNEEL TO MEN.
It Is One of the Laws Aong the Mauy
Tribes of East Central
Africa.

Men in Africa. and especially in East
Central Africa, believe that their wom-
en- are their interiors, and many GEN.
turies ago. says the Chicago Trib-
une. they made a law that has worn
itself into custom that women must
acknowledge this by always kneeling
when they meet man.
Duff Macdonald, who spent many
years as missionary in this country,
says that African women hold a most
degraded position, and are looked upon
pretty generally as beasts Of burden
capable of doing all the hard work.
When woman meets any man, be it
her husband or stranger, at home or
on the road. she is expected to 'taidi-
wala'-that is, to kneel and clap her
hands to the lord of creation as he
passes. Although a woman may have
slaves of her own, she observes this
custom whenever she meets them op
the highway.
Macdonald adds: Whenever we
saw woman go out of her way with
the intention of kneeling before US.
though she carried q hundredweight
on her head, knowing that she would
have to get up with 1t, we shouted:
You are losing your way, this is the
path and she took it, glad that she
might dispense with this custom"
Certain it is that If the African
woman kneels before a stranger OF
slave she prostrates herself most hum.
bly, before her husband-her lord and
master. He is her father and she ID
his child; he commands and she obeys;
he may inflict Punishment and she &C.
cepts it.
The title of "father" is given to all
old people; man of 30 will say: Il
am only child; ask the old man."
The woman must submit, of course.
She is her husbands chattel; he has
bought her for two skins of a buck,
and this is fair price for one wife.
He often gets them in payment for
debts.
If a girl is not a first wife she
counts for little, as these Africans
usually have one chief wife and three
or four minor wives. A man who is
married few years is expected to
have junior wives. The chief wife has
the superintendent of the others and
looks after the household. The pun
ishment she inficts for lazincss is to
Danish the junior wife from her meals
until hunger brings her to her Senses
If junior wife is obstreperous she Ia
put in slave stock.
The authority Of a chief wife is not
matter to jest with. If junior wife
gets unruly the whipping post is made
use of. This does not annoy her lord,
for African men have little sentiment
for their wives, and feel none for their
Junior wives. They are his chattels
having the same value as his cattle
perhaps less. When man is pressed
for money he usually sells his wife
and not his cattle. He expects them
to cultivate the soil and cut down the
trees. and when he finds time or has
the inclination he helps them.
Mrs. Macdonald says that she
amused herself by taking the loads of
wood cut down by the women and
placing them next to those Of the men,
explaining that civilized men try to
relieve women of hardships, but they
shook their heads and answered that
their lords would never submit to this
humility.

PRINCIPLES OF
FRUIT GROWING
BY Prof. John Craie. of Cornell
University.

At meeting Of horticulturists, Prof,
John Craig, Of Cornell university.
said:
Every modern system of cultivatinA
fruit recognizes as a first principle the
right CT the fruit tree to be considered
specific and sufficient crop under the
soil. or at least to be regarded as a
crop quite as exhausting in character
as any grown by the farmer.
Unless the fruit grower realizes and
put into practice the essential part Of
this principle he will fail as cultiyat.
or OF fruits.
Experiments in orcharding conduct.
ed some years ago at the Cornell ex.
pertinent station proved conclusively
that it cost the soil more to produce
20 average crops of apples than 20 av.
erage crops of wheat.
In other words, more fertility was
extracted from the land in growing an
acre or bearing apples for 20 years
than Ill growing 20 consecutive crops
OF wheat. AS rule, the farmer recog-
nizes the food needs of the wheat
plant, but too often does he look upon
the apple tree or fruit tree as mere
tenant of the soil, and one which is not
to be regarded as specific crop.
Having recognized the principle. the
particular method of orcharding must
be worked out by the fruit grower him
self. This method will depend upon
soil conditions and climate. Neverthe-
less, it is safe to say that in eight cases
out Of ten that method which employs
clean tillage for at least part Of the
season will be most successful. It is
also stfe to say that all secondary
crops il orchards are Injurious.

tertainments. The fact that the ma
tional holiday comes early in the month
with red, white and blue as it's emblem.
that the red flowers of summer are at
the height of their beauty in this month,
and that the ruby is the months birth
stone, causes red to reign over the other
colors.
The ruby idea may be carried out
with good effect in dinner. For the
house decoration use great punches of
the red peonies, which are so refreshing
and attractive.
For the center decoration of the table
have an immense hour-glass fashioned
of red flowers and one of two ideas may
be used for the place cards. In the
shops are to be found very small hour
glasses in the natural woods. These
may be purchased and painted red or
decorated with red ribbons and used for
place cards or small dolls may be dressed
to represent Father Time, with his
sickle, and used. The two ideas may be
combined, for that matter, giving Fa-
ther Time to the men for place cards,
and the hour-glasses to the women.
The names should be written with red
ink, and on the card should be quota
ton referring to time or life or the
things of life which might have bear
ing upon birthdays. For instance for
dinner of IL these may be chosen as
appropriate quotations., care being
taken always to place the quotations
with some regard for the guests:
For the happy-go-lucky man or
woman:
was not born for courts, or great af-
fairs,
l pay my debts, believe, and say my
prayers.
Pope.
For the generous:
To live uprightly then is sure the best.
To save ourselves, and not to damn the
rest.
Dryden
For the famously honest:
My honor is my life, both grow in one;
Take honor from me, and my life is done.
Shakespeare.
For the jolly, very active man; who
may be trusted to see the joke:
10 to the ant, thou sluggard, learn to
live,
And by her ways reform thine own.
Smart.
Other quotations which may be scat
tered about the table to suit the guests
may be:
That life is long which answers life's
great end
The time that bears no fruit, deserves
Young.
We live in deeds not years-in thoughts.
not breaths-
In feelings, not figures on the dial.
fIe most lives
Who thinks most, feels the noblest acts
the best.
Bailey.
Life is not to be judged by days;
Virtue endures when time DECAYS
What is time, if not employed
In worthy deeds, but all void?
There's divinity that shapes our ends.
Rough-hew them how We will.
Shakespeare.
Health is disease,
Life death, without friend.
Who lives to rature rarely can be poor.
Who lives to fancy never can be rich.
The menu. too, must be done in red
At the top Of the card have written or
printed:
Come, dine on rubies!
For the menu have the following:
Chopped cherries with ice.
Creamed soup with tiny beet balls.
Lobster croquettes.
White cabbage salad.
Rare roast beef. Baked potatoes.
Sliced tomatoes.
, Radishes
Eggs picked in beet Juice and served
on bleached lettuce.
Cherry ice and waters.

was surprised-and You will prob
ably be surprised-to learn that as long
as sixty-one years ago there was a
weekly paper published at Honolulu.
In fact, journalism had its birth there
even earlier, for the file OF the Polyne-
sian that I ran across at one of the
libraries a few days ago consisted Of
the second series of that paper. How
long ago the first series was published l
do not know. But at any rate, il is
rather amazing TO find paper printed
in the Hawaiian Islands before most of
us were born. Even the war with Mex
leo had not been tonight. The annexa-
ton of Texas is spoken of in the Poly
nesian as a possibility, and later an
nounced as a fact. The trouble with
Great Britain over Oregon is COM
mented upon, and the latest news re-
garding it, received ~ steamer from
the outside world, is that England is

the Pacific Coast Oregon is described
by writer for the paper as a fertile
country as far as was known from ex-
Pioration. It is recorded that large ac-
eessions had been made to the Villa
mette Valley the year before-1S43-
some 1000 souls having arrived that
year by ox-teams and otherwise. They
had 120 wagons and a large herd Of
cattle, and were escorted by "Lieuten-
ant Fremont, of the Topogra phical En-
glneers. with small protection
party 1t was stated that there was
a well-defned road over the plains and
mountains leading into Oregon. and
that many more settlers were expected
the following year.
Another item regarding roads was TO
the effect that the Governor of Panama
had large force of men building a
wagon road across the Tsthmus. and was
personally supervising the work.
hamehameha III. was king of the
Islands at that time, and each island
had a governor. Kaukini was governor
of the island on which Honolulu Is sit
uated, but it was announced that he
was Ill, and not expected to recover,

printed both in English and the Ha-
waiian languages. In July, 1874, the
Poiynesian became the official paper,
and each week ran a department OF
court news as the continental papers DO.
J. J Jarves was editor of the paper
It had four, six or eight pages about
twelve by fifteen inches in size, and
was nearly all printed in English. Com
mercial news took up good deal OF It's

Searching for a cure.
Honolulu people have found a cure
for itching skin diseases.
They tell about it. Read what this
citizen says:
Mr.. H. Ryall, Of No. II, GrosvenoI
St, South Yarra, a very old resident
OF Melbourne. Australia, states:
For some considerable time I have
been a sufferer from that annoying
complaint known as irritating piles. At
times the irritation was very annoying,
especially at night, and in the warm
weather. I applied some of Doan's
Ointment. which I had obtained and
I am pleased to say that it gave me
the desired relief from this annoying
disease
Doan's Ointment is splendid in all
diseases of the skin: Eczema, piles.
hives. insect bites, sores. cnilblains, etc.
It is perfectly safe and very effective.
Very frequently two or three boxes
have made complete cure of chronic
cases that have not yielded to other
remedies for years.
Doan's Ointment is sold by all chem
SITS and storekeepers at 50 cents per
box. or will be mailed on receipt of
price by the HOLSTER Drug Co., Ltd,
