A MAGIC CLUB.
Curious Deeoy Used by the Native

Curious Deeoy Used by the Native
Fishermen OF Hawaii.
"Lau melomeo" Is the name OF n de-
coy used by the native fishermen Of
Hawaii II Is made OF the hardest
wood to be found on the islands and is
carved and rubbed Till II assumes tho
shape Of club with n little knob at
the smaller end. TO which the line Is
tied.
The club Is from one TO three feet
long. A village sorcercr performs Ger.
tain rites over It over sacred FIRE.
After this Is done the club Is magic,
and the fisherman must be extremely
careful OF II. If woman should step
over II or enter a canoe In which II lies
the club would lose all its power and
would be useless ever afterward.
After the club has been charmed the
fisherman mixes candlcnut aud cocoa
nut meat. bakes II and ties the mix
ture in wrapper of cocoanut fiber.
At the fishing grounds the club is
covered with the oily juice Of She 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 nibblc
at the club As soon as enough fish
are around the decoy a small bag
shaped net is lowered very gently until
its mouth Is just over the club. The
latter is then pulled up carefully and
cunningly I'LL II Is within the bag. The
FISH are so eager for the stun with
which the club is covered that they
follow II into the net without fear.
As soon ms all the fish are In II n fish.

Professor Hyper had long hair
and a high brow. He could think
in several languages. His appear
ance led people to believe that he
had a master mind. The fact was
that Hyper was a great reader. For
years he had prided himself on
what he had read. Then he saw
his mistake. To become great
man he would have to dig up new
ideas rather than absorb old ones.
In other words, he would have to
leave the scholastic smoking car
and 60 out and pick up things be-
fore the engine of progress reach
ed them.
So ambitious did Hyper become
that he changed his diet and ate
almost nothing but eggs. This
would give him new life and new
strength and he needed both. The
professor began to concentrate his
mind, and walked with bowed
head. Quite often he ran into a
tree on the college grounds, SO
absorbed was he in running new
ideas to earth.
Finally an inspiration came. His
mental gums were teething. He re-
membered that there were innate
ideas and acquired ideas. Innate
ideas were those which came at
birth. They were the ideas which
were born with the child. Man had
indeed sighted his prerogative. 1t
was doubtless intended that he

INNATE IDEAS
Evening Story for ehe F anmily Circle

Ishould uplift the lower order of

The egg would do for expert
ment. The professor was versed in
the occult. He had also studied
, telepathy, hypnotism and like
sciences. He fastened to the hen
house and secured a fresh egg. He
fastened it under his left armpit
to keep it warm, Then he began
to center his mind on the egg. A
chicken would eventually be
Matched, endowed for the first time
with innate ideas.
The professor even took the egg
to bed with him. His last thought
before slumber was to Undue the
innocent, uninspired prOtoplasm
with future possibilities. Finally
he took it to the hen house and
placed 1t beneath a setting hen.
The rooster. observing his act.
blinked it's red eyes and craned
it's head curiously. With the
rooster the course of true science
was not running smoothly.
The egg had been carefully
marked. Professor Hyper return
ed to his study. For a spell each
day he bowed his high forehead in
the depths of his long fingers, CIV
ing the egg the benefit of his
knowledge Of telepathy and charg-
ing 1t with innate ideas His mind
pictured the prodigy which would
emerge from the shell and the in
telligence which would beam from
the eyes Of the newborn creature
when 1t saw its benefactor The
bird would be capable of infinite
progression. This would be q tri-
umph Of mind over matter. ..
Frequently Hyper would go to
the hen house and stretch his
hands toward the nest and cOncen-
trate his mind on the egg. This
process ne would continue until he
was tired out. The rooster always
watched his movements. The pro-
fessor understood the sheepish
look in the eyes of the father fowl.
1t doubtless understood the intend
ed improvement over nature.
The professor even went so far
as to prepare lecture on the
elevation of the lower species. He
called his lecture "A New and Bet
ter Life for the Feathered King
dom Explained" This lower or
der of creature would henceforth
be able to assist man In intelligent
endeavor. They would partake of
higher mentality and a branch of
animate creation would move a
step forward.
AS the Matching time drew near
Professor Hyper could scarcely
contain himself. He prepared
corn meal In advance. Finally
some of the brood began to peck
their way to the larger life. They
at last burst their bounds, and
after a short blinking and drying
spell, took to the corn meal as a
travelling man does to new jokes.
The rooster hoped up on the fence
and crowed. while the proud
mother hen clucked her happiness.
The professor examined the nest.
The marked egg was still there. He
caught the hen and forced her back
to duty. Still the egg did not
hatch.
Then in despair he broke the egg
but hastily turned away.
