4 PRESENT DAY UTOPIA.
Moorea Island, the Happiest and
Fairest Spot on Earth.

Moorea Island, the Happiest and
Fairest Spot Earth.
Hugo Parton writing in the Outing
Magazine, says that the happiest and
most beautiful spot on earth today is
the island of Moorea, one of the Society
islands, in the south seas. AS a con-
trast to strenuous American methods
this description sounds alluring:
Whenever you are thirsty a word
will send a 1.-the brown body scrlln-
bling up tall palm tree trunk, and in
two minutes a green cocoanut IS ready
for you to quaff-the nectar OF the
Polynesian gods. 1t is worth the trip
down here to eat the native 'vittals,'
for you get at every meal things you
never tasted before, and each Sc en.s bet
ter than its predecessor; to see your
dinner Of fresh water shrimps, sharks
fins and roasted sea urchins. The ba-
nanas you eat-there are eleven varie-
ties-baked, raw, fried, dried-grow a
few rods back in the valley ditto the
breadfruit, the pineapples and about
everything else on the board. It's nice
to have your morning coffee grown In
the back yard. Guavas grow in such
profusion they are used as pig food,
grated cocoanut is fed to hens, while
sensitive plant Is considered excellent
fodder for cattle.
''For perfection of the human body
the Tahitian is unexcelled, If, indeed,
he Is anywhere equaled. They are a
large race, both men and women being
noticeably taller and more fully devel-
oped than Anglo SaXons. I doubt If
any Society islander ever went through
a whole day In his life without having
a wreath Of flowers on his head or
blossom behind his ear. The love of
flowers is innate with man, woman and
child. They can't pass through a patch
Of woods without emerging with q gar
land. Every gay mood calls for flow
ers on their hats, in their hair, behind
their ears, and their life is an almost
unbroken sequence Of gay moods.
Scarcely a native on the island of
Moorea can speak a sentence Of Eng
fish, but every one you meet greets you
with a courteous smile and the well
coming word Ia-ora-na' (Yorana)."

Humane Work That Is Practical.

Other tender hearted women have at
tempted to tighten the burden of
draught horses with varying degrees OF
success, but it has remained for Mrs.
Theodore Thomas, wife Of the great
orchestra leader, to hit on practical
remedy for the evil She Is taking
steps to submit to the city council OF
Chicago mammoth petition for an or
dlnance regulating the tonnage horse
may be required to draw. 1t is her
hope that the full legal penalty may be
attached to the measure, and that It
will be enforced. She realizes that,
while a good many owners of horses
might be influenced by arguments
based on sentiment, there are hundreds
who can be reached only through their
pockets If she can make it expensive
for an owner to overload a wagon, she
thinks she will be able to save the
four-footed animals many weary
task.
Mrs. Thomas does not content herself
with having her petition signed by
leading citizens. She goes every day
among the Transfers themselves and,
by simple reasoning, induces them to
add their names to the plea. Her ar
gument is that 1t is to the Transfers
interest to see that his horse is not
overtasked, because he then will be
able to do his own work much more
quickly and so, in time, command high
er wages. Many hundreds of teamsters
have given their signatures to the
earnest woman. and she expects to
have the names of fair proportion of
the owners on the sheet before she
takes it to the council.

The tourists, art students and art
