Etiquette AT FIJI TABLE
Himself With the Rules, Which
Are Exceedingly Strict.

II ever you go to Fiji and are asked
to attend public dinner, pray be very
careful how you behave or it may cost
you your life, is the injunction of a
writer in London Answers. A public
dinner In Fiji Is a grand affair, and
all the guests give a hand In feeding
the oven or stirring the pot. A floor
of clean leaves is covered with coco
nuts, on which are heaped baked taro
and yams-like large potato-to the
amount of several tons. The next tier
comprises a well oiled pudding In
green leaves" called "vakalolo." Baked
turtles are next heaped on top of these
buildings or two or three hogs baked
whole.
At one public dinner in Fiji there
were fifty tons of yams, fifteen Ions of
vakalolo buildings, seventy turtles, five
carloads of yagona and 200 tons of I'M
cooked yams.
A chief, having eaten coconut
without offering a piece to one of his
followers, the latter went over to the
enemy and singled out his former mas
ter in their next battle. Asking for
mercy, the stern reply was, Don't you
recolect the nut at the last public din
ner? For that you die"
Another chief once sat with his ia
ther-in-law and on passing a dish of
cooked fish, he broke off bit of its
tail. A dark scowl covered the rela-
tive's face, and before many hours
were passed, he slew his son-in-law,
having first intimated that he was in
suited by being offered broken tail.

Great Soldiers Monuments.

Greatest of all monuments Of EN-
peror Napoleon are the two arches
of triumph, LArc delTriomphe and
L'Arc du CarrOusel, both of which
were erected by the devoted Parisans
that all the world might know the
military supremacy which was theirs
under Napoleon. Equal to these in i'm
portance is the tomb of the emperor,
Les Invalides, which he decided
should be a home for aged and dis
abled soldiers, but which the Parisians
turned into a great museum to house
countless trophies Of his wars and
articles of his personal equipment, as
well as the body of the national hero,
who wished to be buried on the banks
of the Seine amidst his beloved
"children."
