Tenture.
Outside the principal villages on the
larger islands, the islands themselves
have undergone little or no change.
Civilization has done little in the
, South Sea islands outside of putting
an end to cannibalism, except to put
more clothing on the natives who live
in town and to erect few buildings
to mar the natural scenery.
Semi-civilized, yet retaining almost
all their native simplicity, the natives
are still the South Sea islanders of a
hundred years ago. They are still
children of nature, although they are
forced to obey the laws of the white
nations which now rule them Their
simple nature has not rebelled against
this invasion and they have gone on
under the new order, living their easy
going lives as before.
One of the principal groups of the
Australasian archipelago is the So
ciety islands, and in this cluster is
found the gem of them all, the pearl
of the South Seas-Tahiti. Beautiful
as the artists conception of the Gar
den of Eden, with a climate that is
surprisingly temperate the year round,
producing all the tropical fruits known
to the world, there is probably not an
other spot on the face of the globe SO
favored by nature as Tahiti, the para
disc of the Pacific" The shores OF
the island, fringed with cocoanut
palms, are surrounded by coral reefs
which protect them from the heavy
seas High mountains shield the most
densely populated side of the island
from the trade winds. and over all
looms Mount Crohena, towering 5000
feet above the sea, and which. so far
as is known, has never been scaled by
man.

NEW CR0sS-STITcH PATTERN

Background.

Among the fashions in needlework
for spring and summer is new style
cross-stitch idea.
The popularity of cross-stitch pat
terms is SO decided and long-lived that
it has resulted in producing new ideas
about the treatment of 1t, which are
most interesting.

Among these design for rose pat
tern is embroidered on the usual shade
of oyster white linen. But contrary
to the accepted method, the pattern is
not worked. The background is filed
in with the cross-stitch, leaving the

lief.
The effect is charming and the labor
much less tedious than the old way

MORE ABOUT TRAP NEST.

THE HEN Of the future will be

matter what breed the "Tom
Barron" fowls are. Wyandottes, or
a cross, they are the product Of trap
nested parents, and their annual
winning at the laying contests held
in this country should be an object
lesson to the American beginner that
for egg production 1t pays to trap
nest for the future breeder. That our
present-day breeds, the American
standard Leghorn, Plymouth Rocks,
Wyandottes, Rhode Island Reds, or
Orpingtons, can be brought to a high
standard OF egg production goes
without saying-it being merely a
matter Of safe and sane breeding and
in the majority Of cases the new
standard Of perfection as adopted by
the American Poultry Association at
Chicago has in no way harmed the
utility qualities of the majority OF
varieties in the standard. Rather,
thanks to the leading breeders, every
leeway has been given to improve
these qualities, It is now up to the
breeders to make tho most Of their
opportunities and breed along safe
and sane lines.--Philadelphia Record.

WOMAN
WITNESSED HOLDUP

Bagley, Aug. 11-Another account of
the holdups which occurred in Vel
lowstone park recently was received
here in letter from Mrs. Elizabeth
Prescott. who is now travelling in the
park. The party in which Mrs. Pres
colt was member just missed the
scene of the numerous holdups in
which several thousands of dollars
were secured, by taking another route
on that particular day. Boy Scouts
warned them of the robbers when they
were within mile Of the scene.
Describing the affair Mrs. Prescott
writes:
"The first team was held for an hour
until the soldiers came along. There
was one robber in the road and four in
the brush. The man made the pas
sengers all get out in the road and
then ordered the driver to pass on a
little ways. The tourists lined up and
put their money in pile. The robbers
cursed the women when they placed
Jewels in the pile They got about
$4,000 from this coach"
The robbery occurred on Shosnone
point, Just beyond Corkscrew bend.
