The "Tapa Cloth" Of Polynesia.
FROM the Strand Magazine

The ''paper-mulberry' tree (Brous-
sonetia papyrifera) is the source of the
famous "tapa cloth" of the Polynesian
Islands. This is a natural tissue and is
derived from the inner bark. and after
being torn of in strips is scraped with
shells and beaten with mailet until It
resembles a soft, flexible paper. The in
dividual strips are united by overlapping
the edges and beating the fbers to-
gether. until large pieces of the tissue
are formed.
It Is said that before Hawaii was
swept with the wave OF civilization, men
and women were dressed In this natural
bark-cloth 'tapa' or kappa" The dress
of the women consist of the paul." or
wrapper, composed of Ave thicknesses of
tapa. about four yards in length by
three In width. passed several times
around the waist. and extending below
the knee. The dress OF the men was the
'malo." or girdle. about a foot In width
and several yards long. A "kikei. or
mantle. six feet square. was sometimes
worn by both sexes. In former years
these natural cloths were sometimes
bieached to snowy wilderness. or were
dyed In colors, and even printed or orna-
mented usually in checks or squares.

From the London Chronicle
Why do you speak of the German pfen.

respondent / have an actual pfennis
piece before me as / write, which was
coined in 1894 and received by me in
change ten years ago. when I last visited
Germany In those days, at any rate,
it was the regular thing to acquire such
a coin In the course OF paying a two
pfennig bridge toll and to get rid Of II by
buying some cheap fruit at stall. The
centime also. which is Of even smaller
value than the pfennig, at least existed
once. having been a red copper coin.
weighing two grammes. in 19o6, and Q
bronze coin of one gramme in 49, The
former was presumably the ''rouge cen.
time which the French use In proverbiai
expressions exactly like the American

That distinguished republican lum-
mary, the Baltimore Sun, after using
its powerful influences to keep the Al
drich gang in power new walls forth
as from the deep in the following:
The day and night sessions Of the
Senate yesterday were full Of ''ginger.
Mr. Aldrich was in the limelight coa-
tinuously, II not very eredilsbly TO
himself.
Senator Aldrieh did not apologize, as
be should have done, yesterday to the
Seesle and TO the people Of the United
States for Withholding FROM both In
formation which the German Ievern-
ment had forwarded to our Govern
rnent at the formal request Of our Am
bassador at Berlis. He tried to wrig-
gle out Of the charge that be had been
grossly discourteous and offensive TO a
friendly governn ent by asserting that
he bad net characterized the German
Government specifically as guilty OF
an "impertinence' in sending to WASH
ington statement concerning the
wage cost OF certain German products.
He indu ged In An ugly ding at Sena-
tor Stone, OF Missouri, who had taken
h in 10 task FOR afifonting friendly
power by suggesting that the Missouri
Senator's interest In the matter could
be explained only upon the theory that
MIR. Stone Is representative Of the
German Government.
Mr.. Aldrich's disiogenousness will
deceive no intelligent person. 10 far as
is known, the report on wages in Ger.
man industries was the only report Of
that kind which our Government had
solicited from foreign power. IL was
suppressed for seven weeks by Mr..
Alrieh and the other Republican, mem
bers Of the Senate Finance COMMITTEE
aud was returned to the State Depart
msnt without the barest intImat atom to
the Senate of the nature Of the infor-
nation which 1t contained. Mr.. Al
drich was called TO account In the
Senate for Withholding information
supplied by Germany. His lmputation
Of "impertInencep to any government
which sought to influence lcgislation
by Congress by providing official data
concerning its industries applied, Of
course, primarily to the German Gov
ern ment. II was an exhibition OF shirt
sleeve craftsmanship which made iu-
dicious Americans grieve.
But in the minds of many thought
fal men in this country there is the
conviction that the most sinister thing
in eonpectionJwith this Incident was
the contempt which Mr.. Aldrich man.
Tested for the Senate and for the peo-
pie of the United States In supprsssing
important information which they de-
sired for their enlightenment. Mr.. Al
drich's bearing throughout this CON
treversy justifies the conclusion that
he resents rs an ''inpertinAnc &c on the
part Of the people OF this country and
OF bis fellow-Senators any demand for
enlightenment on matters of which
the Rhode Island Senator wishes to
keep the public andCongress igaorant.
That is an attitude which Americans
will not tolerate in statesman Of much
bigger caiiber than the Rhode Island
Senator.
