The Pacific Islanders.

1t is supposed that the statesmen assembled
in Washington, like everybody else, have been
posting themselves upon the manner and GUS
toms of the Pacific islanders. Now that the
rights of the several great powers holding
these islands either as possessions or under
mandates are in fair way to be preserved
and guaranteed, it is to be hoped that states
manship will concern itself not merely with
the development Of the copra and guiana in
dustry, but with the welfare of these children
of nature that inhabit Oceanica. 1t is shocking
indeed, to learn that the population of most OF
the islands upon which the white man has set
his foot is diminishing, that diseases are raw
aging these people who are unrvaled in beauty
of physique, and that form of contract labor
which amounts to peonage still continues.
Christianity, it would appear, has not been
an unmixed blessing for fthe islanders pc
cuiarity q Christian missionaries is their
idea that garb. other than that affected by
white men, is immoral. These chocolate col
ored, black-haired Polynesans have their own
standards of modesty and a style of dress ex-
cellently adapted for the climate and their
manner of life, and which has the additional
advantage of being cheap. 1t consists of a
cocoanut leaf skirt from four to six inches in
length and necklace. 1t is only the canni-
balls OF the comic magazines that wear, or are
supposed to wear, Starched collars minus
shirts. The missionaries have insisted that
the women wear mother hubbards a design
of gown not particularly famed for its beauty
Z and which the islanders heartily dislike as is
proven by the fact that they doff it in their
own homes and only wear it when they move in
society IN the villages. self-respecting Poly
nesian woman, moreover, would never think
OF leaving off her native skirt even when clad
in the ugly garment of civilization. Between
mother hubbards and the prevalence of tuber-
culosis, close relationship is supposed TO
exist. prudent but tactful craftsmanship
should see to it that the Polynesians should alb
sorb some of the principles of hygiene and
sanitation along with their theology, and that
Polynesian women, who, although semi-nude
are never naked, should have the privilege
freely accorded to white women of dressing as
simply and as lightly as they please.

are put within their reach. And they hear the
same artists that are heard in America But
when the European artist sets feet on American
shores he Immediately changes from a. singer

stars are press ACCENTED here by their American

OF an organization like the Chicago Grand
Opera company is a staggerer. The hackers OF
the company are mostly wealthy men, willing to
contribute literally toward the maintenance OF
the organization but they grow weary of carry
ing the bulk of the burden year after year.
The masses refuse to patronize grand opera
in Chicago simply because the admission
charges are too high When it is possible to
assemble a company of singers, paying them
what they are worth and not what they are able
to demand, Chicago will be able to present
grand opera at popular prices, getting it down
within reach of the plain people. The masses
regard grand opera it is offered in Chicago
today as social event, where one is not in =
good form unless one is in full dress. And that
is about the fact of the matter

: The Rural Post Box.

The rural post box should be placed near
the road, but it should not be so placed as to
interfere with traffic. This is the dictum of
the postmaster general. Boxes must be so
placed" says Mr. Hays, that rural delivery
drivers need not leave their vehicles 10 deliver
the mail; but this does not mean that drivers
must be enabled to remain on the paved por-
ton of the highway"
The explanation is made because many COM
plants come to the>department of rural boxes
1uttlng over the pavement in such a way that
they are menace to traffic. 1t is pity that
the nation persists in building its rural paved
roads so narrow as not to allow for the free
passage of vehicles and the convenient placing
of mail boxes at the same time Until wider
roads are the rule, in the interest of safety the
mail box must keep its distance

The Secret OF Good Coffee.

| A reader connected with the cof-
fee trade writes me that / am all
to the mustard in my teaching that
coffee well made and properly used
by adults is wholesome, health
beverage. and desires to present
me with some kind of highfalutin
percolator and a special brand of
coffee to make in the contraption.
Maybe / am old-fashioned and "sot"
in my ways, but somehow l have
never been able to make any head
way with a safety razor and l can't
see why anybody should pother
over a percolator with coffee pots
! so cheap, so convenient and so
thoroughly satisfactory in action.
There's little secret about good
coffee that l fear / have failed to
emphasize in previous talks on the
subject. The peculiar pleasant
flavor and odor of coffee depends
largely upon a volatile or aromatic
oil present in the coffee berry, per-
haps half a TEASPOON in each well
made cup of coffee. This is the
pleasant odor that is given>of when
coffee is ruined by boiling or kept
long enough on the fire to permeate
the household with the pleasant
odor-at the expense of the flavor
of the coffee itself. Now, the secret
failed to mention before is this:
The volatile or aromatic oils are
more or less soluble in cold or
tepid water, but not in boiling or
hot water. Perhaps that is the rea-
&c 1n
by grinding the coffee Immediately
before use, letting it stand for sew
eral minutes or half an hour in
cold water, with the egg stirred in,
and finally setting the pot on the
fire and watching to see that it is
snatched off before it boils up, and
serving Immediately.
Now, my friend of the coffee
trade, who wants to present me
with a sort of burial urn to make
coffee with, informs me that coffee
should be powdered" just before
it is prepared and only hot water
or boiling water used. The sugges-
ton of powdering seems good
that would expose more surface to
the solvent action of the cold water
and perhaps give more satisfac-
tory beverage with a slightly
smaller amount of coffee. The no.
ton of using only boiling water is
absolutely wrong, but l suppose
perhaps users really do not know
what a cup of good coffee should
taste like.
According to the studies and OBJ
seryations made by DR.. Philip B.
Hawk, whose little book, What We
Eat and What Happens To 1t"
(Harper & Brothers, New York,
STD should interest people who
have been misled by self elected
food specialists. The presence of
a cup of coffee in the stomach with t
food rather aids digestion, he says. !
