lying desolate owing Ia the fact that
their Inhabitants had forsaken them.
This they did II many of them fell
sick, aud two or three died soon after

them came back when they thought
the evil spirits had departed

A MAGIC CLUB.
Curious Deeoy Used by the Native
Fishermen Of Hawaii.

Fishermen Of Hawaii.
"I,au melomelo" Is the name Of de-
coy used by the native fishermen Of
Hawaii. 1t is made Of the hardest
wood TO be found on the islands and Is
carved and rubbed TIL It assumes the
shape Of n club with little knob at
the smaller end, to which the line Is
tied.
The club is from one TO three feet
long. A village sorcerer performs Ger
tain rites over It over a sacred fire.
After this Is done the club Is magic,
and the fisherman must be extremely
careful Of IT, n n woman should step
over Il or enter n canoe I'm which Il lies
the club would lose all its power and
would be useless ever aftcrward.
After the club has been charmed the
fisherman mixes candlcnut and Cocoon
nut meat. bnkcs It and ties the mix
ture In a wrapper OF cocoanut fiber.
At the fishing grounds the club Is
covered with the oily Juice Of the stun
and Il then lowered carefully TO the
bottom. The scent of the baked nut
meat attracts certain kinds Of fish.
which soon gather and begin 10 nlbblc
at the club As soon as enough fish
are around the decoy n 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 till II Is within the bag The
fish are 40 eager for the stun with
which the club IL covered that they

As soon ns all the fish nre in II n fish

The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1910-11-25

In the olden time, when dueling was
prevalent among the higher classes,
there lived In small town In Mary
land young man named Arnold
Kemper. who kept everybody about
him in a state Of terror on account Of
bis prediction for the code He knew
Of every meeting between prominent
men that had occurred In the colonies
from the settlement of Virginia He
often declared that no gentleman
should refuse to fight when challenged
and If he did so should be posted as q
poltroon and a coward
Kemper had never been out himself.
but averred that nothing had ever oc-
Cured to necessitate his lighting. But

One day there came to the town

attendant discomfort. Yet their case is
rot hopeless; the following simple home
prescription has made hair grow after
fears of badness, and is also unequalled

tolor, stopping hair from falling out, and
destroying the dandrutf germ. 1t will

perfumed, add half to one teaspoonful

preparation is highly recommended by
physicians and specialists, and is abso-
mtely harmless, as it contains none OF

Work Ahead for Brides.

The bride of to-day has work ahead

with their inexperience, their rather
small income and the present high cost

The bride OF modest means has decid-

she recognizes this fact and squares her
shoulders to meet it and master It. the
better for all concerned.
The care of home. even a small one,
is no light matter, if ii is managed prop.
erly. To make a small salary cover all
the expenses of running a home requires
good financing. To keep CHEEKY and

That Horrid Lassitude.

One Of the curses OF the age is that
horrid feeling OF lassitude that so many
of us suffer from, but pay little heed
to it.
II person has slept well at night it
is not natural to be drowsy. sluggish
and inert during the day, II that is
your normal condition, 60 cause search.
ing.
Often the feeling is caused BY ma
larial condition and little quinine or a
change of air will overcome il.
Frequently it is due to overriding; eN,
hausted nerves is recognized cause OF
heavy brain and "draggy" bones.
Probably the chief cause il weak
stomach. Indigestion makes one slug
gish, so does oyer.eating without proper
exercise.
The cures are normal living, plenty Of
fresh air and sunlight, and proper rest.
1t is decidedly dangerous to seek to over
come lassitude with drugs or stimulants.
The effect is temporary and the reaction
bad.
