SEARCHED SKIRTS.

If we are TO wear houffant skirts we
are probably in for a period of starchi-
ness. Organize, one of the fashionable
summer fabrics, is most certainly a
fabric that bears out this supposition.
Yet many housekeepers, maids. of all
work and even laundresseS, have for
gotten all they ever knew about the
gentle art of starching.
There was day when everything
was starched, and some housekeepers
even had a bit of starch put in the
table linen-iust a trace, to give it
glossiness and a suggestion of stiffness.
Table linen. of course. should always
be exempt from starching. 1t should
gain glosslness and stiffness from
long ironing when it is very damp.

DAILY CARE.

Window plants collect dust easily
and so should be carefully busted, if
necessary, before watering SO that they
will get the btneflt of the water and
look really green and healthy. A palm,
begonia or any woody plant may be
busted with very soft bristle brush.
The roots of plants must be
thoroughly soaked. All plants do bet
ter if repotted once year so as to
allow any necessary root expansion.
Ferns must often be divided to prevent
crowding.
No plant should be placed in a
crowded position in a room either
against another plant or furniture if
it is to look and do well. Neither must
it be set in a place where it will get
even the slightest knocking. for ferns
especially have delicate fronds that are
sensitive to a mere touch.

ISLAND OF MANY MEMORIES
visitor to st. Helena Almost Sure to
Find Something to Remind Him
of Home.

st. Helena, the island where Napo-
leon Bonaparte spent some six years
of exile and where he died In 1921, has
one of the most peculiar landscapes
in the world, and by reason of the
great variety of trees and plants that
grow there.
For many years the island was a
sort of ocean crossroads where all
ships plying between Europe and the
East stopped for supplies It was un-
inhabited when discovered and most
of its population is made up of the de-
scendants of persons who deserted
from passing vessels. European, Afri-
can and Asiatie peoples are all repre-
sented
Nearly all of these settlers of many
races and nationalities tried to intro
duce into the island plants and trees
from their home countries, as people
are wont to do the world over. Some
of these failed to survive, but a sur
prising variety of crops and trees
rich soil of the little island. As a re-
suit the English oak tree today grows
beside bananas and palms. Raising
dates Is an industry Of the valleys,
while Scotch pines grow on the up
lands, and some Of the level land is
covered with English gorse. Lemon
and orange trees are to be found not
far from patches of bramble and
groves Of willow. A visitor from al
most any part of the world may look
about and find bit of landscape to re-
mind him of home" Niksah," in Chi

DEATH LAID TO EVIL SPIRITS
Bansalss Tribe In Africa Refuses to
Believe That Mortal Dlsso-
luton 10 Certain.

Strange rites and ceremonies still
abound in Africa. Most Of these have
their origin in superstitions instigated
by the medicine men or magicians Of
a tribe for their own betterment, while
many are adopted as customs Of a
tribe.
Foremost Of the funeral "celebra-
TONS in Africa is that of a tribe
called Bangalas, near the Quango river.
Here the deceased is asked to state
the cause Of his death, and is often
prosecuted before being buried.
The death Of an African in these
sections is never announced, and, only
on inquiry is anyone told Of the death
of a tribe member. When the death
is generally known the relatives come
and fall into a state Of excitement and
wailings, with frequent interruptions
of hilarious nature. Drums and mus
ical instruments are assembled and
the revelry is continued until after
sunrise This ceremony occupies two
days. The body is brought out during
these ceremonies and fastened in a
sitting posture in chair and placed
at the door of his hut. The idea of the
natives is that the deceased shall share
in the festivities.
Only the mother and wife of the de-
ceased show signs of grief. After the
celebrations" the deceased is put un-
der rigid examination as to what or
who caused his death. Naturally, he
is unable to answer, and the crowd
abuses him, demanding an answer.
At last 1t is agreed that he was killed
through the aid of evil spirits. The
body is then taken to the cemetery.
| The inhabitants do not believe that
everyone must die, that evil spirits
alone interfere with lives.

ADVISING CHINA SOFT JOB
Twenty-Five Persons Draw Salaries
From Bankrupt Country
as advisers"

Why not be an adviser to China
with a good salary? All you have to
do to get such sinecure, according
to Ellen N. La Notes "Peking Dust
Century, is to have your government
bring a little pressure to bear on
China. In chapter of her book writ
zen in Picking, Miss La Motto says
There Is q quaint custom here, which,
as far as / know, is unique in the his
tory Of international relations. That
is the custom of giving advice to
China. Any country can do It, appaf-
emily. Any country that thinks China
would be benefited by little disintef-
ested and helpful counsel can see thar
she gets it-and that she pays for it,
too. Any person who wishes luera-
tive position can get his government
TO appoint him as an adviser to
China, and his government viii see
to 1t that China pays him salary.
AS far as / know, China does not asst
for this advice; it is thrust upon her
unsought. But she must pay for the
privilege, whether she likes 1t or not.
So over they come, these various 'ad-
visers' from various foreign nations,
and settle down here in Picking as the
official advisers Of this and that, and
draw their salaries from this bankrupt
old government. The China Year Book
for 1916 gives q list of twenty-five such
advisers.
