sThe natives of the Tonga or Friend
ly islands, off the east coast of New
Zealand, are the finest in physique OF
any on earth" said E. A. Powell of
Cleveland Mr.. Powell is returning
from business trip to Australia,
where he visited several groups of the
Pacific islands. THE average height
of the males is five feet ten inches.
Many of them are over six feet. They
weigh from 160 to 800 pounds, and are
very straight, being built in proper
ton. The women average a greater
height than the women of America.
They have fine strong figures and av-
erage froL $50 to 160 pounds in
weight. They are of a copper color,
straight haired and with features
which made the Greeks famous.
firmly believe they are the original
Maoris, while the natives of New Zea-
land are a smaller race-apparently a
mixture with the Monaghan race. The
islands are crescent shaped and most
ly coral. There is neither wealth nor
poverty on the islands. Peace and
contentment are in evidence and the
tribe is exceedingly virtuous. The
main article of food is the cocoanut
and the only drink used is the milk OF
this nut. Portland Oregonian.

EXCLUSIVE Privilege.

The late General Shafter used to en-
joy telling how, during the Civil War
several wounded officers and few
privates were going up the valley of
Virginia when rain came on, forcing
all hands to take refuge all night in
a school house.
1t CHANGED that during the night a
skunk had found its way under the
floor and by and by had announced
its presence after its well-known effec-
tive manner.
The officers all walked up, but being
gentlemen and each supposing that
the others were still asleep, they kept
silent. At last one of the privates,
a German, could restrain himself no
longer.
"Mein Gott!" he exclaimed. dis is
awful! Dey shleeps und | wakes,
und I hat got to shmell 1t all!"-Lip-
pincott's.
