ODD ISLAND TRIBE
Queer Inhabitants of the Lane
of Star.
Whole Population Number Only 14Q
Yet Forms Distinct Tribe With
Manners and Customs Pc
culiar to Itself.

Friedrich Wilhelm Hafen. - No
International exposition or large fair
is supposed to be complete now
adays without it's native village, where
two score or so Of men, women and
children, preferably cannibals, from
some far distant land, and supposed
to live more or less in their ma
tive state for the edification of the
curious.
A visit to Star reminds one irresist.
IDLY Of such an exposition village; the
difference being that the inhabitants
instead of displaying their charms to
crowds of civilized visitors, are en-
gagged in doing so to each other. 1t
is hard, on visiting the island, to real
ize that the natives are specially got
up for ones particular benefit.
The island of Star, which is less
than a mile round, lies In an archipel-
ago on the coast Of German New
Guinea and close to the principal port
in the colony, Friedrich Wilhelm
Hafen. This town boasts Of a white
population of about 25 and contains
only ten or a dozen houses half hid
den among the cocoanut trees.
The whole population of the island
of Star is about 140, and these people
really constitute a tribe distinct from
the inhabitants of the mainland or of
the other islands. The natives of the
mainland, who are themselves suffi-
ciently curious people to excite the
wonder of anybody, are ready and anx-
ious to point out the islanders to WIS.,
itors and make money out off one by
rowing one over in boat on the
mont thly visit of a steamer.
On approaching the island nothing is
seen but the dense vegetation which
covers IT all over However, on pene-
trating q few yards inland two clear
ings are reached around which are
grouped 80 or so huts that form the
village The word hut is really too
dignified q one to describe their rude
dwellings; strictly speaking, they live,
eat and sleep on a straw and wooden
platform raised four or five feet from
the ground. and which Is covered over
by a rudely-thatched grass roof. There
are no sides to the dwelling. the front
and back being generally quite open.

VALUE OF PLAYERS ERAGES
One Can Judge Better of Mans Real
Ability by Seeing Him Work.
Than by Statistics.

After all, fielding averages do not
indicate exactly a baseball players
value to a team. In the long run they
may furnish some substantial indica-
ton, but one can Judge of the real
ability of player better by seeing
him work.
A good example Of the general propo-
sition here submitted was shown in
Chicago recently when Zeider was
given an error on play, which an
alyzed, was mighty good effort says
the Milwaukee Sentinel. Mcbride bat
ted to deep short and Weaver, getting
the ball after an effort, threw wide to
first, drawing Zeider off the sack. lei
der scooped in the ball, and at the
same time touched Mcbride as he
went by. The umpire waived the play
er out, but the impact of the horsehide
and player caused Zeider 10 drop the
ball and the decision was reversed.
There was nothing to do but give lei
der an error on play, whereas he
should be commended for splendid
work and quick thinking.
This indicates that sometimes where
errors are made, the plays are, as a
matter Of fact, swell attempts. and
that those making them are better
players than others who have a fine
average because they refuse to take
chances.

No Real Roads in the konqo.

Outside of Stanley's old road from
Matado to Stanley Pool, now rarely
used, and the lately constructed roads
in the Katanga connecting the differ
ent mines. there are no roads in the
Kongo. Native trails, waterways and
railroads furnish the only facilities Of
transportation. Over the trails native
porters carry loads averaging sixty
pounds on their heads. There are no
native industries in Belgian Kongo. In
former days. before the state required
SO much of the natives time to gather
rubber and prepare food. and before
traders had introduced manufactured
goods, the natives wove grass cloth
and mats, made baskets, metal spears,
implements and ornaments. now
even though the rubber days are
past. the new generation knows little
of the native arts and the young men
are usually found in the service OF the
state as soldiers or workmen.

VALUE OF LAUREL WREATH
Trophy Has Always Been Much Priced
by victors in the Arena and
In Battle.

Time was when a laurel wreath
meant to the winner of an event more
than diamond-studded belt and
us no hint of any fakes" in those
days, says the New York Telegram.
1t is curious what an important part
laurels have played in the develop
ment of man, and to win ones
laurels' is phrase in common use, as
signifying the attainment of honors OF
one sort or another.
Gerard tells us that the laurel "is
well respected for the beauty of its
leaves and their continual greenness,'
and these leaves are remarkable for
the fragrant though dangerous odor
they give forth. Indeed, the leaves
were at one time much used in cook
cry to impart the flavor of almond. for
both contain the acid which goes to
form prussic poison. But so danger
GUS is the shrub in this respect that
it's use has almost disappeared from
modern cookery, though the sweet bay
which is another form of laurel-is
much used up to the present time, as
it is harmless unless taken in large
quantities.
This form, the bay, 1t was that
probably became the pride OF the
victors in the Pythian games held in
honor of Apollo in ancient Greece.
For 1t was by means Of the purifica-
ton the god obtained In the sacred
groves of Tempe, from the blood Of
the python, that he was enabled to
purify others, and the laurel held q
close connection with Apollo in an
cient Greece, the legend of the beauti-
full woman who was changed into q
laurel being the origin of the modern
name Daphne, which has been be-
slowed upon the two native species OF
laurel in this country.
1t was only the winners of the con-
tests in the Pythian games who were
crowned with the laurel, the Olympian
winners receiving crowns of olive
leaves, and the Nemean and Ismian
winners receiving crowns of pine and
parsley respectively. but the use Of
the laurel afterward spread into
Rome where the victors in war were
crowned with laurel, and the leaves
were much used in the triumphal
entry into Rome of the conqueror

SEVEN HARD HITTERS
Make Five Clean Hits in One
Game This Season.
Bobby Byrne and "Dots" Miller of
Pittsburg, Together With HoblitzS
ell, Daubert, Olson, Yerkes and
Collins In tho List.

Hitting out four and five hits in a
single game looks like a great task.
but 1t has been frequent this season
for the batters in the American and
National leagues. To date just forty
two players have succeeded in hitting
'em where they amt, and equally di-
vided, twenty-one in the American and
twenty-one in the National. Four Ma
tional leaguers have piled up five bin
giles in a single contest, while three
have turned the trick in the Ban John
son organization.
Four members of the Cardinal team
have clouted out four bingles In a
single game. Eddie Honey was the
first to turn the trick, getting them on
April IA, with Miner Brown the op-
posing twirler. Reb Oakes duplicated
the stunt April % when he opposed
Humphries, Keefe and Bagby Of the
Reds. Rube Ellis was the next Car
dinal to get four safeties in one game.
He did this on May against the Reds,
when he banged out single, triple
and lifted two into the right field
bleachers. Lee Magee gathered four
singles on June 1.
The players to hit safely five times
in a single game are Byrne and Miller
of the Pirates, each collecting four
one spots and double. Hobby of the
