The Modern pramatist.

The ~dramatist. as such, has mo use
for" knowledge. Not knowledge, but
art, is the dramatist's business. Are
we not always being reminded that
the greatest CT them all had little Lat
in and less Greek? Today most of
his successors, just to be on the safe
side, are scrupulous about having no
Latin or Greek at all. Some of them
even carry their s~elf-denying ordi-
nance so far as to restrict themselves
to the merest smattering of c%olloquial
English. An exhaustive knowledge of
anything is fatal to your chance of
having "original" ideas about it, and
IL new" dramatists must at all costs
display originality. Not to know too
much is no doubt part Though by no
means. as some suppose, the whole)
of the dramatist's secret.-London

| gathered in abundance on the beach,
by the Surrounding this
floor space a set of poles are secured
in an upright position, reaching to a
| height of about six feet. In the cen
ter two or three large upright poles,
usually about one foot in diameter by
fifteen to twenty feet in length, are
secured, and from these to the tops
of the outer supports the framework
of the roof is built.
AS the Samoans have no nails they
have devised a method of making a
very serviceable kind Of fiber cord.
The old men collect a quantity of CO.
coanut fiber, which they roll between
hand and kneo to the thickness Of
ordinary cotton string, after which
they braid and splice it together into
great rolls. These rolls are cut from
as needed. This, then, is the means
Of binding and flashing the roof to-
gether and securing it to the uprights.
Then sugar-cane leaves are gath
cred, doubled. laced, braided and fin
ished into little mats, about three
feet long by fifteen inches wide.
When a sufficient number of these
are ready the roof Is matched with
them after the method of shingling a
house. allowing the caves to extend
over a distance of two feet. This
forms a most efficient protection be-
tween the Samoan and his country's
p%rodigious rainfall.
A Samoan house has the advantage
over an American home, inasmuch as
it can be opened on all sides or on
any n side at the discretion of the
family. The posts surrounding the
floor space are set at a distance of
about 2k feet apart and a curtain
is formed for each individual space
thus created by using small mats,
similar to the thatching mats except
that these are made of cocoanut
leaves instead of sugar cane. These
little mats are arranged over the
! openings in such a n that they
overlap and will readily fold up shut
terwise. In this n any of the
spaces between these many posts can
be opened to or closed against the
weather by merely pushing up the
curtain and securing it or by unloos-
ing 1t with a light pull at a bow knot
and letting 1t drop.
Mats are then spread over the coral
floor and the house is complete. II
Is generally the custom to celebrate
the completion with a "fla-fa," or
feast.
Aside from chests. boxes, ETC., for
the storage of personal property, the
furnishings consist only of the pre-
requisites of peaceful slumber, "tai-
namus," sleeping mats. and bamboo
pillows.
The bamboo pillow strongly re-
minds me of the days of the Spanish
inquisition, but custom and natural
inclination have taught the Samoan
to 'lay me down and sleep" in any
old place and at any old time.

In an Awful Hurry,

Uncle Chef" Thomas was driving
down the street one day, driving a fine
looking horse; it was an all around
good locker" A friend watched the
horse for awhile. and when Uncle Chef
got close enough to hear him, said,
That's a mighty nice looking horse
you got there, Uncle Chef. Want to
sell him." Well" said Uncle Chef. 81
haint huntin' a buyer, but l would take
two-fifty fer him." How fast can he
trot?" was asked. well, he can trot
a mile in three minutes without any
trouble" said Uncle Chef, so the fell
low bought him. The next morning
he new owner came back to Uncle
Chef and told him that he had tried
the horse out thoroughly, and the best
he could get out of him was a mile In
our minutes. Uncle Chef thought for
a moment and then said: We'll, you
must be in an awful hurry if you can't
wait a minute"

TUBERCULOSIS IN THE PRISON
Per Cent. of Suffering Is Enormous
and There Seems but One
Remedy.

From several Investigations that
have been made by the National AS
ISOLATION for the Study and Proven
ton of tuberculosis it is estimated
that on an average about Is per
cent. of the prison population of the
country is afflicted with tuberculosis.
On this basis, out of the $4,000 prison
ers housed in the penal institutions
of the United States at any given
time, no less than 10000 are infected
with the disease. If the Philippine
islands and other insular possessions
were taken into consideration the
number would be much larger. Some
of the prisons of Pennsylvania, Kan
sas and Ohio show such shocking con
ditions with reference to tuberculosis
that many wardens admit that these
places of detention are death traps.
Similar conditions could be found in
almost every state, and in the major
ity of cases the only sure remedy Is
the destruction of the old buildings
and the erection of new ones.

LEG A MASS OF HUM0R

about seven years ago a small
abrasion appeared on my right leg
just above my ankle. 1t irritated me
so that 1 began to scratch it, and it
began to spread until my leg from my
ankle to the knee al one solid scale
like a scab. The irritation was always
worse at night and would not allow
me to sleep, or my wife either, and 1t
was completely undermining u
health. I lost fifty pounds in weight
and was almost out of my mind with
pain and chagrin as no matter where
the irritation came, at work, on the
street or in the presence of company,
| would have to scratch it until I had
the blood running down into my shoe.
l simply cannot describe my suffer-
ing during those seven years. The
pain, modification, loss of sleep, both
to myself and wife is simply indie
%scribable on paper and one has to eX-
perience it to know what it is.
81 tried all kinds of doctors and rem
edies but l might as well have thrown
my money down a sewer. They would
dry up for a little while and fill me
with hope only to break out again just
as bad If not worse. l had given up
hope of ever being cured when I was
induced by my wife to give the Cuti-
cura Remedies a trial. After taking
the Cuticura Remedies for a little
while l began to see a change, and
after taking a dozen bottles of Cuti-
cura Resolvent in conjunction with
the Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Oint-
ment, the trouble had entirely disap-
peared and my leg was as fine as the
day I was born. Now after a lapse OF
six months with no signs Of a recur-
renee l feel perfectly safe in extend
ing to you my heartfelt thanks for the
good the Cuticura Remedies have done
for me. 1 shall always recommend
them to my friends. w. H. White,

A New Version,

Lawyers have a peculiar system of
abbreviation, such words as trustees,
executors being cut down to trees,
exors, and admors. This practise led
to an amusing slip on the part of a
solicitor, who, somewhat late in life,
abandoned his profession and entered
the church. A few Sundays after his
ordination he startled his congrega-
ton while reading the lesson by deliv-
ering one of the passages as follows:
Il see men as trustees walking"

A Trick.

Nine. Sarah Bernhard, who is sup
posed to be something of an artist as
well as an actress, was recently called
upon in n CT her marvellous crea-
tons to enact the role of a sculptor,
and to model a certain bust in view of
the audience. This fairly electrified
the critics, but when going into rhap-
sodies over the technical skill in han
ding the clay which Nine. Bernhard
exhibited they showed that they knew
little of the artistic tricks of actors
and actresses; as a matter of fact, she
does nothing of the kind. The bust
is modelled and baked, and over it is
placed damp clay of the same color.
This the talented actress merely pulls
off, exposing the beautifully modelled
head underneath.

the clearness with which sounds com
ing from the surface of the ground can
be heard at a high altitude.
At the height of 5000 feet the ring
ing of horses hoofs on a hard road
was clearly audible. At 1000 feet the
splashing sound made by ducks in a
pond IA heard. The barking of dogs
and the growing of cocks could be
heard at 1000 or 5000 feet.
