A MAGIC CLUB.
Curious pecoy Used by the Native
Fishermen Of Hawaii.


Fishermen Of Hawaii.
"I,au melomelo" Is the name of de-
coy used by the native fishermen OF
Hawaii. 1t is made of the hardest
wood to be found on the Islands and Is
carved and rubbed till It assumes the
shape of a club with little knob at
the smaller end, to which the line Is
tied.
The club Is from one to three feet
long. A village sorcerer performs GER
tain rites over It over a sacred FIRE.
After this Is done the club Is magic,
and the fisherman must be extremay
careful Of 1t. If woman should step
over II or enter q canoe In which 1t lies
the club would lose all its power and
would be useless ever afterward
After the club has been charmed the
fisherman mixes candlenut and cocoa
nut meat. bakes It and ties the mix
ture m a wrapper of cocoanut fiber.
At the fishing grounds the CLUB Is
covered with the oily juice Of the stun
and is then lowered carefully to the
bottom. The scent of the baked nut
meat attracts certain kinds Of fish
which soon gather and begin to nibble
at the club. AS soon as enough nsr
are around the decoy a small Daf
shaped net is lowered very gently und
its mouth Is just over the club. The
latter Is then pulled up carefully ant
cunningly till it is within the bag. Ih'
fish are so eager for the stun VIII
which the club Is covered that the!
follow It into the net without fear
AS soon as all the fish are In 1t nsh
erman dives and closes the mouth o
the net. whereupon the rest haul !

She Didn't Mind.

A girl with q Gibson face and
green feather In her hat boarded
Chestnut street car the other after
noon. She carried something in pa
Der sack under her arm. The car was
crowded with passengers. and no one
offered to rise.
The girl looked worried, but set her
lips and grabbed at strap. Just then
the car lurched. the girl made wild
effort to keep on her feet and threw
her bundle straight In a large mans
lap. There was a peculiar grinding
sound in the sack, and then something
seeped out that looked suspiclousiy
like the yellow of an egg.
"What In the thunder Is this stun =
he started to say. when she sweetiy
remarked as she clung to the strap:
"Oh. never mind making apologies
I can get another dozen Of eggs at ouI
grocery"
The conductor removed the sack oil

that no one dared laugh.-LouisVilif

ADAMS PEAK
A Shrine Sacred to Three Conflicting
Reliaious 6eots.

Religious 6eots.
Throughout Asia holy places are
almost as numerous as leaves on u
tree, but In Ceylon Is mountain whicn
enjoys the unique distinction OF being
q very holy place to the deyotees OF
three absolutely distinct and CONNECT
ing religious sects. This Is Adams
Peak, or Samantha.
According to the Mohammedan De-
lief, Adam, after the fall, was taken
by an angel to the top OF Samanaia,
and panorama Of all the Ills that
through sin should af1lict mankind was
spread out before him. His foot ieie
an impression on the solid rock. ana
his tears formed the lake from WHICH
pIlgrims still drink. The Buddhlsts
contend that It was not Adam, pue
Buddha himself that made the foot
nrint In the rock, that being the last
spot where he touched the earth De-
fore ascending to heaven, while the
Brahmins have still another legend
Ali. however. Brahmins. Mohamme-
dams and Chinese. agree that Samanaia
is q very holy place, and to perform
pilgrimage to the spot Is to the Budd-
hist what a visit to Mecca Is tc q Mo-
bammedan. In mixed crowds the wor-
shipers come. each plying the lgno-
rance Of the other, who is so far from
the true way"
1t requires no little faith ana some
Imagination to trace in the depression

THE CAMERA 0BScURA.
From Il Was Evolved Our Modern Pno-
toqraphio Apparatus.

From Il Was Evolved Our Modern pno'
tosraphio Apparatus
The camera was invented by an ltal-
ian named Baptista Porta, though It
was not at first used for photograph
ing. 1t was In reality merely dark
room. into which the light was admit
ted through a little round hole In one
side. The rays of light coming from
objects outside of this room enteredsT
through this aperture and made pic
ture on the other side Of the room
glowing In all the beauty and color OF
nature itself, but rather indistinct ana
upside down.
This dark room was contrived by
Porta about the middle of the sixteenth
century. He improved 1t later Dy
pIacing a glass lens In the aperture
and outside a mirror which received
the rays of light and reflected them
through the lehs SO that the image
upon the opposite wall within was
made much brighter, more distinct
and in a natural or erect position. This
was really the first camera obscura' al
invention which is enjoyed to the pres
ent day.
Now our modern Photographic cam
era is merely a small camera obscura
in its simplest form. carrying lens az
one end and a ground glass screen at
the other. II is, however. often much
more complicated In Its construction.

One such garden shows lake four

the border stands a pine tree exactly
eighteen inches high and fifty years
old. Beneath its shade Is a temple
carved out of one piece Of stone the
size of a brick. On lofty crag Oh
some two and a half feet stands fine
maple tree, perfect in form and shape

some years ago as steamer OF the

most ports a string of white garments
was seen stretched across the deck.
The watchers were amazed, for 10

Comment was freely made of the
scandal that would ensue and the
shakeup that would follow When the

the captain:

"There was never woman along

answer. What do you meanT

So late as the end Of the seventeenth
century the inhabitants OF Ceyion
were in the habit Of deserting their
towns. Their customs are described
in the narrative Of Captain Robert
Knox. who for nineteen years, from
1900 to 1879, was a captive among
them. He speaks Of seveul towns as
lying desolate owing to the fact that
their inhabitants had forsaken them.
This they did If many OF them Ieii

ion proposed BY the House Of Representa-,
tlyes will meet aeciacd hostility and would
be likely 10 ensrge nom the Finance Com,
miesee with an adverse report o. even higher
RATES than the present law imposes,
How can platform promises or personal
pledges be expected to Overcome the en>
treneAea s,andpA,teEst The nore 50 IS the

declare Tor the "pri0eiple Of protection and
under that declaration any Republican Con,
gresham can, Il he wants to, vote against
the reduction Of any schedule or against
relorm bill that reduces the protection now
enjoyed by any trust, combine or protected
manufacturer that would declare that the
proposed reduction Of rate would leave
their product open TO competition trom =

For years the game has been played TO
promise that when "lhe public Interests de

Such was the declaration Of the Republican

ere were not satisfied with that declaration,
and as an evident sfler-lhought they added
70 the plank the mendaeious statement that's
"a Democratic tariff has always been fol,
lowed by business sdversitys Republican
tariff BY business prosperity" Who there,
fore can or will believe what they say
Both their statement Of adversely aud their
Representation Of prosperity have proven q
false guide to their deluded followers,
Asthe Republican tariff has tostered trusts
and allowed the combines to increase prices
and sell cheaper abroad than here; as It
has fossered speculation and extravaganoe,
which has resulted In financial panic and
business depression, so that many working
men are hunting Jobs with empty stomachs
and their wives aud children feel the pinch
Of poverty, viii the Republican politicians
admit the truth and reform law that pro,

Ills much to be feared they are welded

their promises are broken reed 10 lean on,
