Tanoa, Cacobau's father and great.

one of the most villainous of all the
kings who ruled in Eau. The history
OF his atrocities makes professional
'ogres like Nero and Catherine de
Medici appear like martyred saints.
At his death his scu, Cacobau, who
succeeded him, strangled his fathers
five wives, his own mother among
them, in accordance with the custom
OF the land. Later in life, Cacobau
embraced the new Christianity.
From the date Of his conversion he
committed no more outrages and dis.
carded all of his wives save one, whom
he married with the church ceremony
when both we're baptized. His son
Ratu Abel did not look very favorably
upon the new religion, and mixed very
little with foreigners, yet no charges
OF cannibalism or other cruelties were

GUARD SECRET CODE BOOK
Signals to se Used by Navy In Tins
Of War Ono OF the Most Close
Of 0ecrets.

Few things are so jealously guarded
as the secret code book Of the United
States navy. 1t is book Of signals
not the ordinary "wig-wag'' signals
used In the daily direction OF the feet
by commanding of1cer-but a code
Of signals to be used solely In time Of
war and In the presence Of an enemy,
These secret code books are issued
only to the executive officers Of a ship,
who are enjoined to protect them
against theft by every possible means.
These books are threatened not so
much by the ordinary, thief as by Sc.
cret emissaries of other governments
who desire to obtain knowledge Of
what our battleships would do in time
OF action. Governments have no scru.
pies against theft In such cases.
The loss Of one of these secret code
books by an officer, unless explained
to the entire satisfaction of the secre.
tary Of the navy, would mean court,
martial and probable expulsion from
the service. To the honor of our ser.
vice, no officer has ever yet been
brought up charged with loss.
The books are bound In heavy mete!
covers, so that in time of threatened
capture they may be thrown over
board. sinking at once to the bottom

BEST TO EMPLOY BOTH HANDS
All Should Cultivate AmbidexterIty
as Precautlon- Against Pos
slble Accident.

At pinch we shall most Of us find
ourselves ambidextrous, with the left
hand ready to do what the right has
done. And many of us are left-handed
Gin parts) without knowing it. Per
sonally deal the cards and fix my
buttons with the left 'frand, being In
most other matters right-handed. But
the two hands should certainly be en-.
couraged to supplement each other.
1t takes only fortnight or so for the
right-handed writer to write with the
left hand, and Miss Evelyn Sharp
achieved It when her right arm was
threatened with writer's cramp.
We are all born, I imagine, with
hands of equal strength and skill, md
the balance should be maintained by
practice. A curious instance Of am,
bidexterity Is that of Mr.. Townsend.
the art editor of Punch. His drawings
are done with the left hand, but his
letters are written with the right. He
ts lefthanded as a billiard player, but
right-handed as a card dealer. And
when he plays cricket he-is q left
handed bowler, but a righthanded
batsman. When you have achieved
such ambidexterity you might cut of
your right hand without offense.-

Ruthless catherJno Of plan,s.

Several species Of British plants,

and renown, are in danger OF extino-
tion owing to ruthless gathering.
Opinion seems to be divided as to
whether or not the appropriate REM
edy is to be sought in state protection.
Although many wild birds and other
members Of the animal kingdom are
now commonly protected by law In
civilized countries, there are few pre-.
cedents for the state protection Of
wild plants Zone os the few being the
case OF the climbing fern In the
United etates). The education OF
public opinion on the subject and
other protective measures have been

came in for a similar criticism while

were similar and even more grievous
errors.
