The branches are very long and
reach upward and upward, then droop
until they touch the coral base, re-
minding one of the mythical spirit
tree of the Polynesias, which, accord
ing to tradition, grows somewhere in
the interior of the larger islands. This
tree has series of branches, covered
with flowers which invite the trav-
elers' admiration, and as the unwary
victim approaches they are discov-
cred to be tentacles which reach
downward and draw him into their
horrible grasp. Once thus caught, no
man has ever escaped the crushing
power of these alleged horrible freaks
of nature, say the natives.

of this mythical tree cannot help won

ever enjoyed the buzz of admiration
that has greeted her entrance into a
drawing room. Few have met his
majesty, the king, on such cordial
terms.
Of course, Miss DreXel has had
more than one eligible sutton, most
of them with titles, but she remains
fancy free and heart whole. She is en-
joying the delights of life close to the
throne with all the ardor of a young
girl just out of her teens. She knows
perfectly well that she mustn't be car
ried off with it-she has the discrim-
mating eye of a woman much older
than she is herself.
A few nights ago her mother gave
grand ball at their home in Carlton
House Terrace, closing the London
season there. Miss Drexel set new
fashion-she wore no jewels of any
kind, though possessed of enough to
ransom a king.
She was in palest blue shimmering
silk. Her hair was simply parted and
she looked the beautiful young girl
that she was. More than one who has
been in London society for years re-
marked that her entire costume was
most BETTING and appropriate to her
delicate, refined beauty. Some limited

young girls out for their first season
Or so would take their hint from the
American girl who had everything,
and drop their tendency to vie with
their mothers in their display of mar
velous jewels.
At another dance given by Mrs.
Drexel at which royalty was present,
Miss Drexel was equally simple in her
attire. She wore soft pink tulle. Scat
tered over it were tiny pink rosebuds;
in the petals of each lay tiny dia-
mond dewdrOp. A wreath of the
same rosebuds nestled in her fair hair
and in her hand she carried a bunch
of little pink rosebuds. Prince Francis
of Teck was her devoted admirer and
Miss Drexel accepted his attentions
with easy aplomb, as she did those of
full dozen of other titled eligibles.
Miss DreXel has two devoted at
tendants in the persons of her bro
theirs. They have taught her to sail
boat, to golf and tennis, to bowl and
keep wicket at cricket, and to
swim. Were it not for her mothers
wise interference she would have
taken an aerial expedition with them.
They made balloon ascension some
months ago and Miss Drexel wanted
to go along, but Mrs. Drexel put her
foot down and that ended the matter.
The Drexels entertain lavishly on
their great yacht. 1t is really an
ocean steamer-the Margarita-and
the king and queen have visited them
there at Cowes and at other yachting
| centers. Miss DreXel has the prettiest
cabin on the yacht, and it's chief dec

coral are attached two specimens Of

thing about the object is tree-like

HAVE EGG-sHAPED HEAD.
Queer Fashions Among the Natives of
the New Hebrides.

The egg-shaped heads OF some OF
the natives of Malekula, IN the New
Hebrides, were once thought to be
naturally conical. For that reason
scientific men decided that the Male
kulans were in the lowest rung of the
human ladder. says the National Geo.
graphical Magazine. !,
Later it was found that the conical
heads were produced as the Chinese
women distorted their feet, by binding
them in infancy. The egg-shaped head
is still fashionable in Malekula, where
some extraordinary results are
achieved.
The conical shape Is produced by
winding strong sennit cord spirally
about the heads of young babies and
tightening the coils from Tins to time.
A niece of plated mat is fist put on
the head and the cord is coiled over
this. so as to give it good purchase
The crown of the head is left to de-
ve.op in the upward and backward
fashion that is so Uuch admired.

SALUTlNG A CAT.
Unusual Custom Observed by Indian
Government.

In Poona, at the government house,
for more than quarter of century,
every cat which passed out of the
front door at dark was saluted by the
sentry, who presented arms to the
terrified pussy.
1t seems that in 1888 Sir Robert
Grant, governor of Bombay, died in
the government house, Poona, and on
the evening of the day Of his death a
cat was seen to leave the house by the
front door, and to walk up and down
a particular path, precisely as the late
governor had been used to do after
sunset. A Hindu sentry observed and
reported this to the Sepoys of his
faith, and they laid the matter before
a priest, who explained to them the
mystery of the dogma Of the transmit
grafton Of souls.
I'm this cat" he said, was reincar-
mated the soul of the deceased Gov.
Grant, and it should, therefore, be
treated with the military honors due
to his excellency.".
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1908-09-11

AS, however, the original sentry
could not identify the particular cat
he had seen on the evening of the day
of Sir Roberts death, it was decided
that every cat which passed out of the
main entrance after dark should be
saluted as the avatar of his excel
lency. Thus for over a quarter of a
century every cat that passed out
after sunset had military honors paid
to it not by Hindu sentinels only, but
such is the infection of a supersti-
tion-by Mahometan, native, Chris
tian and even Jewish soldiers Phila-

halls and staircase, to hang against
the white marble walls. The drawing

require vast quantity of fine things
to fill it. AS it now stands the walls

tends to cover them with old French
brocades and Italian silk tapestries

for each room.
All this is to provide a temporary
home for Miss Drexel, his only daugh-
