CHAPTER XIIL
A 2TATIVE CHURCH.
The first Sunday alter we dropped anchor
nearly all hands went on shore, where the
shady groves of palm trees offered a refresh
ing contrast to the ship's deck, upon which
the tropical sun poured down its rays until
the iron work became almost too hot to
handle, and the pitch in the deck seams was
fairly melted.
As we passed under the Bhip's bows, we
could see the anchor and chain lying on the
tandv bottom, and so clear was the water
that one sailor insisted he could touch bot
tom with an oar, being only convinced to
the contrary after trying in vain to do so.
In reality, there were 18 fathoms of water
under us, although so near the beach one
could easilv pitch a stone into the trees. So
clear was the v ater that not only was our
huge anchor and chain visible, but every
little pebble and branch ot coral was easily
distinguished, lying on the milk-white sand
far below the surface.
As I approached the village I heard a
peculiar drumming noise, which echoed
cmong the trees, and as we nearcd the
native church I saw a long, hollow log,
with either end resting on two crossed
Etakcs about two feet from the ground. The
ends of the log were covered with some
l.ind of skin, unon which two natives were
beating with sticks, thus notifying the in-
liabitants thatmwnc service was aDout to
lcin. I passed on to mv friend's house,
from which I could obtain an excellent
view of the churchgoers as they solemnly
marched along.

which they "may be so fortunate as to pos

laid swav wntil the following Sundav.
"Tetlhe reader imagine a stalwart Kanaka,
lii hair standing out in all directions fully
r loot, bare-footed and bare-legged, a niece
if native cloth tied about his waist, while
the upper part of his body is covered by a
British solJier'-. scarlet coat, minus the
tails and brass buttons, and, to add to the
ludicrous appearance, the coat put on with
the opening down the back.
Following him came a dusky woman with
n bright green bonnet on her head and no
clothing except a waist cloth, and yet she
ttermed along with a jaunty air, evidently
ns proud of her one article of millinery as
one of our more fortunate European damsels
would be with "Worth's latest triumph on
her back.
One old chap sported a vest, which he
wore buttoned behind, and, to cap the
climax, I saw one joung Kanaka with an
old-tasbioned stovepipe hat, which was full
f holes, through many of which his coarse
lilack hair protruded in little tufts. This
was too in'ich lor my decorum, and I fairly
roared with laughter.
"When the worshipers were all inside a
native jireacher made his appearance,

cloth, bat without hat or shoes. I iollowed
liim into the church, and Sound the congre
gation seated cro-s-legged on the ground,
while a small platform at the lurther end
uas xc-ercd for the preacher's exclusive
Use. He seemed to speak easily and elo
quently, nrd was listened to with great at
tention, but, as he preached in the native
tongue, of course I was unable to follow his
discourse, so I gave my attention to the
church itself. It was truly a marvel of
ingemiity.
The building was nearly square, the four
corner posts being lofty palm trees, which
were fullv 40 feet apart. The stringers and
rafters were of the same wood, and the roof
r.nd tines covered with mats of bamboo and
cocoanut fibre. The wonderful thing about
the structure was that not a nail or even
-wooden pin was used in the work of build
ing the church, et erything being secured in
its place with lashings made of the cocoanut
fibre. I could not help mentally comparing
the rude church, the product of native
liands entirclv, with the comfortable European-built
cottage in which the mission
ary himself usually is to be found, and won
dered if all the pennies collected by our for
eign missions to build churches for the
lieathen are used for the purpose for which
they are solicited.
"When the sermon was ended, the congre
gation sang several hymns. Although the
words were Kanaka, what was my surprise
mid pleasure to find they had been set to
some ol our good old tunes, and as the na
tives hac acry correct car. I enjoyed the
music immensely. I could distinguish sev
eral alto voices, and one deep-chested old
Kanaka sustained the bass with a voice I
hate ncter licaid tqualed in volume. I
afterward learned to wrg several of their
hymns, but I am unable to record the words
bcre, as I acquired them as a parrot does
Euglish, without knowing the meaning.
Alter tiie s-crvice was over I returned to
my friend's house, where I dined on a species
offish much like our herring, and an abun
dance of lruit. I had expressed a desire for
a collection of sea shells, and alter dinner
jtfanassa presented ine with nearly a peck
of the beautiful varieties for which these
islands arc famous. I also secured a beautifnl
spray of white coral, which was remarkable
lor its likeness to a reindeer's antlers. The
coral is so brittle that it must be packed in
sand and comnletcly covered, as a sudden
jar will break the delicate sprays which
lorm its chief beauty.
"While seated in the hut with my ;'flem"
and his numerous family, one of his wives
(for polygamy is not j et eradicated) arose
and placed a long braid of hair across the
entrance to the dwelling. I was wondering
what this might mean when a native woman
came to the door as if about to enter, but,
peeing the braid on the mat at the entrance,
she turned quietly on her heel and de
parted. I found upon inquiry the comb
ings of hair are saved by every Kanaka
woman and braided together like the one in
question. "When an unwelcome visitor is

seen approaching or when for any reason
thev do not wish to "receive," the braid is
laid on the threshold, and, in plain English,
means "not at home." As there are no
doors or shutters to their huts, something
of the sort is imperative when privacy is
desired, and no native would dare to trans
gress this custom.
They are still ruled by a chief, with
whom, however, the missionaries have great
influence, but his commands are law and
transgressors must answer to him for mis
deeds. The greatest possible punishment to
a Kanaka, and one which is rarely inflicted,
is to "taboo" him. Literally translated,
this word means "forbid," so any custom
which is forbidden by the chief is said to be
"tabooed." When a man is "tabooed" he
is forbidden, under penalty of death, to
have any stated abode, he must not sleep
for two consecutive nights in the same place,
and no one is allowed to converse with him
or help him. He is thus ostracized from his
fellows, and if the "taboo" is not soon re
moved by the chief ne often throws him
self into the sea and perishes rather than
live on these frightful conditions.
CHAPTER XIV.
THE KAU AEA'S EEVEKOS.
For a few days after my last visit ashore I
was kept on the ship constantly.as the mate
unfortunately considered me the only mem
ber of the ship's company with artistic
ability enough to redecorate the ship's
stern and bring out the name once more, for
the crew had painted the whole stern a uni
form yellow, regardless of the large black
letters which announced our name and na
tionality. A stage was slung under the
stern, and I performed the job to the satis
faction of all concerned.
One afternoon, as I was busily at work on
the lower part of the stern, with my bare
feet dangling in the water, I happened to
look under me and beheld an enormous
shark not more than a fathom beneath me,
apparently preparing to dine on one of my
limbs. It is needless to say that I quickly
withdrew them from the water, dropping
my paint brush almost into his jaws as he
shot to the surface at the same instant, his
head striking the narrow plank upon which
I was perched. Had I not already secured
a firm hold upon the rope by which the
stage was suspended this story would
have been lost to the world. As it was, I
received a terrible fright At the time it
occurred there was a native canoe alongside
with fruit and shells for sale, and as I
scrambled upon deck all hands rushed to
the stern to see the monster. One of the
natives from the canoe produced a short
piece of iron wood about the thickness of a
man's finger and sharpened at both ends,
and, holding this in his left hand by the
middle, so that the sharp points extended
on each side, he placed his long knife be
tween his teeth, sprang upon the rail, and
to our horror plunged overboard.
He struck the water about 20 feet from
the shark, who was slowly swimming awav,
as if disgusted at his ill luck. We could
see the Kanaka shoot along under the sur
face with long, powerful strokes, while his
companion sprang into the canoe and stood,
paddle in hand, ready to go to his assist
ance. It seemed an age to us, but suddenly
the brave fellow came up under the shark,
and the long knife was thrust upward again
and again, while the blood dyea the waters
for yards around the scene of the struggle.
So unexpected was the attack that the mon
ster was quickly dispatched, and the native
was picked up by his companion
in the canoe, the whole scene
taking far less time than I have occupied in
relating it I found afterward that the
Hardwood stick is used in case the shark
perceives the approach of the man and at
tempts to seize him in its terrible jaws,
when the shark killer coolly thrusts the
stick into the fish's mouth in a perpendicu
lar position, preventing it from closing,
while with a strokeof his long knife he rips
him completely open. The natives consider
the greatest danger to lie in the fact that
the blood almost inv iriably attracts other
sharks, and at the same time dyes the water
so that the man is unable to see and guard
against any new danger. I do not mean
to say that all Kanakas will perform this
leat, but many of them will not hesitate to
attempt it, provided a canoe is in readiness
to receive them before the blood attracts a
new enemy. Many of these men have lost
relatives by the sharks, and in the present
case the hero had lost a brother only a few
weeks before, and in this way revenged
himself.
Notwithstanding the many statements to
the contrary, the shark is an extremely
sluggish swimmer, and this, added to the
fact that he is obliged to turn on his back
to seize his prey, renders the above per-
lormance not nearly so cumcuit as it may
seem to those wno do not realize the skill
and endurance of these islanders, who can
live for many hours in the water without
inconvenience.
"We had all been in the habit of bathing
from the ship's side nearly every day. but
after seeing the swarm of voracious sharks
devour the bodv of their wounded mate, we
suddenly lost all desire for this amusement,
and no one was vsnturesome enough to risk
it unless a sail was spread in the water for
his protection.
One of the crew was stung by a poisonous
shellfish about this time, and we feared he
would lose his arm, but an old native ap
plied an antidote of herbs which cured him
in a lew days.
One of our amusements consisted in fish
ing tor an eel of a kind which is very pal
atable, but which is covered with a thick
slime that makes it extremely unpleasant to
prepare lor the table. One day, while the
captain and most of the crew were ashore,
several of us were engaged in fishing from
the ship. Among the number was a Portu
guese, a very quarrelsome man, whose great
strength made him feared by many of the
crew. In pulling a large eel over the rail
he carelessly flung it into my chum's face,
filling his eyes with the slime and blinding
him. The Portuguese, whose name was
Prank, made no attempt to excuse himself,
and, as soon as Henry could clear his eyes,
he said, with an indignant look:
"I believe you did that on purpose, and if
I kuew it I'd break your head!"
"You no man 'null break my head," was
the sneering response.
"Ain't I?" said Henry. "You try it
again, that's all, you bullheaded niggerl"
The Cape de Verde men are black as
ebony, although they speak better Portu
guese thau the inhabitants of the Azores,
who are white, and nothing angers them
like the word "nigger."
"You call me nigger, you lie!" shouted
the inluriatcd bully. i
The next instant he measured his length
on the deck, lor Henry was a six-footer and
a practiced boxer.
Again and again he rushed at hit foe,
only to be met with blows which would
have speedily ended the contest, but the
mate, who heard the noise as he was writing
in the cabin, ran up on deck and inter
posed his burly form between the combat
ants, sending the steward for the handcuffs
at the same time. After placirig a pair upon
each ot the principals, he returned to his
cabin, apparently satisfied that ne had
effectually quelled the disturbance.
No soouer had lie gone below,, however,

than Henry, whose blood was up, rushed to
the grindstone, and with a powerful blow
broke the irons from his wrists, calling
upon his antagonist to do likewise. This
he seemed loath to do, but, finding that he
had no alternative, he finally freed himself
in the same manner and' Henry rushed
toward him to .renew the contest, but his
foot slipped, and before he could recover
his guard the negro wound his arms about
him, and a fierce though siient struggle
ensued. Backward and forward they
swayed, while we stood in anxious suspense,
the whites, of course, sympathizing with
Henry, while several Portuguese warmly
espoused their countryman's cause.
I would gladly have given Henry a hand,
but I knew his dislike to anything unfair,
so I confined myself to muttered sugges
tions intended to give him the advantage.
At last, freeing liis right arm. my chum
began pummeling the negro's face," which
was soon streaming with blood, at the sight
of which the cook rushed to the cabin door
and shouted to the mate:
"Jlist Lawrj,! Mist Lawry! Come qucek!
Dev's fightin' agio!"
Upon which the mate ran to the spot and,
seizing a heavy piece of ironwood, he
rushed at the two young men and strnek a
savage blow at random. It landed on
Henry's head and felled him to the deck,
insensible, while a long, ngly-looklng gash
in his scalD made me fear he was killed.
A liberal application of cold water re
vived him, but his wound had to be stitched
together, and he was on the sick list for
several days.
The fight was all taken out of his antag
onist, however, and after this he made no
more trouble during the voyage.
CHAPTER XV.
THE MATE EN JOTS HIMSELF.
It is the custom on shipboard for either
the chief officer or the captain to serve out
medicine when needed, extract teeth, set
broken limbs, etc., regardless of the fact
that thev generally have little or no knowl
edge of the proper manner in which to per
form these operations, and as the Latin
names of the medicines which the law com
pels every vessel to carry would be utterly
unintelligible to most old seadogs, the vials
and packages are numbered and a little
book accompanies the medicine chest, in
which is given instructions how to proceed
in care of various accidents to which sailors
would naturally be liable. There are also
given the symptoms of different kinds of
sickness, with instructions how to treat the
same. Thus, for chills and fever, "two
spoonfuls of Xo. 5." and for rheumatism,
"ten drops of No. 15," all remedies being
designated simply bv number'.
It is an old legend among whalemen that
upon one occasion a merchantman met an
old whaler at sea, and, observing her colors
at half mast, ran down and hailed her, ask
ing what the trouble might be. "I've just
buried a man," was the response. "What
was the matter with him?" "Val, yon see
he hadn't been feclin' well for a couple er
days, and the book said to give him ten
drops o' number 13. I w.is all out o' 15. so I
give him some No. 8 and No. 7 mixed, an'
it killed him!" I cannot vouch for the
truth of this yarn, but from some things I
have seen in that line I could readily be
lieve it.
Our mate was just that kind of a man.
Devoid of any feeling of sympathy for a
man in pain, he delighted in attending to
all the cuts and bruises he could find. The
Captain had too much regard tor us to trust
Mr. Lawrie with the medicines, but he had
a surgeon's lancet of his own and a pair of
dentist's "old style rollers," with which he
extracted teeth whenever he could induce
any one to Riibmit himself to his tender
mercies. His method was to seat the
I sufferer on deck, with his head firmly held
I between a third party's knees, hook on his
I rollers, expectorate on the palm of his hand,
and lav out an ins strength, it the handle
held, the tooth came out, and he would ask,
with a fiendish grin: "Think your jaw's
broke?" It's a wonder mine was not, for
he extracted three for me during the voy
age. While we were in Vao Vao the captain's
dog, a large Newfoundland, bit one of the
Portuguese sailors near the knee. It was
thought to be ot no consequence at the time,
as but one tooth entered the flesh, leaving a
very small wound. From some cause it
rapidly spread, until a very large hole was
finally the result In spite of the mate's
lotions it rapidly increased in size and re
fused to heal, whereupon he resolved unon
heroic measures, and said to me one day:
"I ain't much of a little pill doctor, but I
know lots about surgeon's business, an' I'm
going to cut that Gee's sore out!"
I tried to dissuade him, but in vain.
'"Tain'tno use," said he, "good fiesh'H
heal an' poor flesh won't, I Enow what I'm
doin'. Why, look here; last vige I seen
the old man set a feller's leg as nice as a
pin. It was all stove up, too, so he had to
perform a compound substraction on it!"
This was too much, and it was some mo
ments before I could find my voice to ex
plain to him that it must have been a "com
pound fracture" that ailed the man.
However, he tied the sailor to the deck,
and coolly inserted his lance outside the
diseased part, ran it entirely around the
sore and removed it, leaving a hole the size
of a silver dollar in the poor chap's limb. It
finally healed, but left an ugly scar.
It was one of the mate's peculiarities to
indulge in "big words," and the facility
with which he would at times perpetrate
some atrocious misapplication of them
would have shamed Mrs. Partington her
self. In most of the ports at whioh we called
there were no dentists, and people would
come many miles to have their teeth ex
tracted, knowing a ship always carried the
necessary instruments; and here the mate
shone in all his glory. He wanted no pay,
not he; all he wanted was to get at the
tooth, and no work was too important to
leave, no nap too sweet to postpone, if his
services were required; and when he finally
broke his rollers on a Custom House offi
cer's tooth in Mongonui, I knew he would
as soon have broken a finger, at least.
Several of our men ran away as the ship
began to fit lor sea again, but all were cap
tured except the one I have before men
tioned, whose native sweetheart had found
a safe retreat lor him. We took 1,500
old cocoanuts on board for our pigs, an
abundance of oranges and bananas, filled
our water casks, and took a large quantity
of green ironwood for fuel, it being the
only available kind, but it nearly broke the
cook's heart to saw or split it, as when it
began to get seasoned it would turn the
edge of a sharp ax.
We had now been several weeks in port,
and in company with the Alaska we hove
our anchor and stood out through the isl
ands once more.
We had three Kanakas on board who
wished to ship with us, and when one of
them saw the town behind us growing
smaller and smaller, he was overcome with
homesickness, and before we were aware of
his intention 'he leaped into the sea and
struck out swiftly lor a small island less
than half a mile away. We let him go, as
we had no right to take any ol them with
out the chiefs permission. The other two
made the entire voyage with us and landed
in New Bedford," where they were re
shipped in another vessel which would
probably visit some of the islands near
their home.

FAREWELL TO UPTON.
The Local Soldiery Have Lois of
Trouble Over the New Tactics.
SOME PBETTY MOVEMENTS GONE.
Radical Changes in the Manual of
and tbo Various Schools.
Arms
THE DAT OP THE WHEEL nAS PASSED
The adoption of the new drill regula
tions of the United States army for
the government of the National Guard
of Pennsylvania is sti.ll causing lots ot
gossip in military circles. For the past
month the new tactics has been thoroughly
discussed by the officers, and one put it,
"Why, I have been sleeping on mine."
The general public has no idea what a
change in the tactics means to the average
soldier. Upton's tactics was adopted Au
gust 1, 1867, and the new regulations Octo
ber 3, 1891. To the officers of the army and
National Guard service who have been close
students of Upton for that length of time,
or to those who have serred five or ten
years, the command to forget Upton en
tirely and study and teach the new one is
rather trying.
The board of officers that formed the new
regulations jevidently had the idea of form
ing lines as quickly as possible, regardless
of the manner in which they are formed.
In the general instructions under the head
of signals a commandant may attract the
attention of his men by whistling. In
changing direction a commandant may
point his sword the way he wishes to go, he
himself stepping off in the new direction
without further command, the men follow
ing. The movements ot the sword are sim
ilar to those of the baton in the hands of a
drum major.
The Position of tils Hands.
The position of a soldier has not been
changed except as to the hands, little finger
opposite seam of trousers, back of the hand
out instead of palm to the front. The
rests are "fall out,"'"rest" or "at ease."
"At ease"is similar to the old "place rest,"
except the men preserve silence. "Rest"
is the old "place rest." Quite a change has
been made in dressing. In the squad it is
"eyes right" (or left) and in the company
"right (or left) dress." At the command
"right dress" the men close the left hand
and place it against the hip, the men dress
ing against the elbow. At the command
"front" the hand is dropped to the
side. This interval is preserved
throughout all the movements. In
the facings quite a change is made.
The right or left face is made on the lelt
heel assisted bv a slight pressure on the
ball of the right foot. The "about lace" is
made by raising the right toe and left heel
turning to the right on the right heel and
the ball of the left foot. The new facings
are awkwardly performed at first, and give
the men the appearance of being raw re
cruits. The salute is made in two motions:
liaise the head smartly to the visor of the
cap above the right eye, forearm at an angle
of 45 degrees; drop the hand quietly. The
old sergeant's salute with the rifle is now
termed rifle salute, and is executed in two
movements.
The new "exercises" consist of arm, hand,
trunk, leg and foot, with a total of 17 move
ments to lour in Upton. The side step is
executed at the command "right" or "left
step." The length is increased to 12 inches.
The manual of arms has been changed to
some extent, but the manner ot execution
does not materially differ from Upton.
Freedom In Handling the Rifle.
The piece can be shifted to any position
from any order except to a "present,"
which 13 executed' from a "carry"
as before. The "support arms" is
left out entirely and the "left shoulder"
added. How to get the piece on
the left shoulder is a puzzle, as the instruc
tions are rather meager. Paragraph 108
savs: "The piece rests on the shoulder,bar
rel up, muzzle elevated, so as not to inter
fere with the men in the rear, t-igger guard
in front of and near the shoulder left hand
embracing the butt, heel between the llrst
and second fingers, elbow down."
The old "arms port" is reversed, and is
now "port arms," and can be executed from
any position. One new feature is the "in
spection arm." As the officer steps in
front of him the soldier comes to the "port
arms" and opens the breech. The piece is
then taken and returned by the inspector to
the same position.
In the school of the company the men fall
in at a rizht face, order arms. The. company
is formed in two ranks, as before; it is then
divided into squads consisting of seven men
and a corporal. Two squads form a section
in charge of a sergeant, and two sections a
platoon. The second sergeant is right
guide of the company, and the third ser
geant left guide. In column of platoons
the fourth sergeant is lelt guide of the
first platoon, and the filth sergeant right
guide of the second. The first sergeant
marches in the line of file-closers iu the rear
of the second file.
The Pretty Wheels Are Ko Store.
All company movements in column of
fours are executed similar to Upton's
methods, but in column of companies the
wheel is left out entirely. To change di
rection to the right (or left) and halt, the
command is "company right (or left)
march." At the command "march" the
right file halts, the men execute the "right
turn" and place themselves successively
on the line established by the right file and
dress without command. To continue the
march the command is "right turn;" the.
right guide marches by the right flank tak-
ing the short step without changing the
cadence, and when all have arrived on the
line the full step is resumed.
The regiment is divided into three bat
talions of four companies each, commanded
by a major. Informing the regiment the
battalions are first formed by the adjutants
and sergeant majors of the respective bat
talions. The right and .'eft guides precede
the company on the line and face toward
each other at an "order arms." The men
are dressed againstthe guides. Each cap
tain preserves a distance at three spaces
from the flank of the company towards
which he dresses. After completing the
dress each captain takes his post in front of
his company. The guides take post at the
command "guides posts."
The Battalion School Not Greatly Chanced.
In the school of the battalion there are
very few changes. The most, noticeable is
forming front from column of com
panies. Under Upton it was done
by wheeling. Now the first com
pany marches straight to, the front,
the second executes "right forward, fours
right," the others "fours right," "column
halt left," and when near the line "column
right," and when opposite its place "fours
left." Another change is "right of com
panies, rear into columns." Each captain
commands "fours right, column right," in
stead of "first lour right about."
A new and very pretty movement is the
street column. At the command "street
column" the first company stands fast, the
second executes "right forward fours right,"
the third company "left forward fours lelt"
and the fourth company closes up to fonri a
square. To form a hollow square the right
and left flank companies execute "fours
right and lelt" and the rear company
"about face." In all movements if the
piece is at an order arms it is brought to the
right shoulder or trail. At the prepara
tory command, in any movement where the
march is not continued, such as "company
right," the piece is carried at a trail. In
any movement where the march is con
tinued the piece is carried to the right
shoulder without command. At the com
mand halt the "order arms" is resumed
from whatever position the piece may be in,
except the "carry."
Regimental Is Like Old Tirlgide Drill.
The regiment is formed by the battalions.
The Adjutant takes post 30 paces in front
of the center, and presents the regiment to
the Colonel as soon as the last battalion ar
rives in the line. The Adjutant then takes
post on the left of the Colonel. The space
between battalions is 24 paces. The regi
mental drill is very similar to the old
brigade drill. In the evolutions of a brig
ade Upton has 166 paragraphs, while the
new devotes but 18, and the brigade com
mander hasn't very much to do or say.
Being in column of fours to form line to
the left the General sends orders form line
to the left. The Colonels command "fours
left march, battalions halt." To change di
rection, move to the front or execute any
movement, the General sends orders pre
sumably to the different Colonels, who in
turn give the proper commands. Divisions
are left out in the evolutions of a regiment
To diminish front the battalions are formed
in column of fours or companies as is prac
ticable. The color guard consists of one
sergeant and two men. They march on the
left flank of the color company, the guard
in the rear in the line of file closers.
No Danser of Getting Mlx-d Up.
The utter disregard of the riht or left of
a battalion or regiment after it is once
formed is shown in the following: "If by
movements of the battalion the original
left of the color company is changed so as
not to be the center of the battalion the
color bearer and guard will take post be
tween the wings whether on the left or
right of the color company or at its head or
rear in column of fours." Paragraph 247
says: "The company having been formed
the right may become the left, the flanks the
center, and the reverse. Whenever the
flanks become the center the fourth and
fifth sergeants become the right and left
guides and the second and third sergeants
are in the line of file closers."
In ceremonies the battalion "parade" Is
formed similar to the old regimental "dress
parade." After giving the command
"front," the Adjutant moves by the most
direct route to a point -midway between the
Major and the battalion, presents the bat
talion and takes post on his left After the
orders are published the Adjutant com
mands "Officers, center, march." The offi
cers close in on the center, the Adjutant re
turns his sword and takes post on the left
of the Major. The officers having closed in
and faced to the front, the senior officer
commands "forward, guide center," and
officers halt at six paces from the Major.
The left officer of tne right wing is the
guide instead of the Adjutant, who for
merly filled the interval in the center of the
line of officers.
A Regiment on Parade.
In the regimental parade the Adjutants
report for their respective battalions in
stead of the First Sergeants. At the com
mand "Officers, center," executed as in bat
talion, the Lieutenant Colonel, Adjutant,
Major of the First Battalion and his Ad
jutant move six paces to the right ol the
line of company officers, the Majors of the
Second and Third Battalions and their Ad
jutants six paces to the lelt of the line. The
Senior Captain commands "Forward, guide
center, march." "When the officers have
advanced six pacs beyond the line of field
officers, the field officers and Adjutants ad
vance, forming an echelon on the right and
left of the company officers. The Lieu
tenant Colonel commands "Officers, halt,"
when six paces from the Colonel.
Ihe othcers halt and salute, and, after a
few remarks, are dismissed. The Lien
tenant Colonel and Itegimental Adjutant
join the Colonel, the other officers rejoin
their respective battalions and march to
their parade grounds and are dismissed.

In the Franco-German War of 1870 the

the connections, and carry off the appa

During a fine moist summer, when grass

to an abnormal extent in La Plata, so that
everywhere in the fields it uas difficult to
avoid treading on them, while dozens could
be shaken out of evcrv hollow thistle stalk

aiiimals swarmed to the feast which they
provided. Dogs lived almost . entirely on
them, as did the domestic loins, assuming
the habits of rapacious birds. The cats all
left the houses to live in the fields. Tyrant
birds and cuckoos seemed to prey on noth

Foxes, weazels, and opossums fared
sumptuously, and even the common armid
illo turned mouser with great success.
Storks and short-eared owls gathered to the
feast, so that 50 cf the latter birds could
often be seen at once, and they got fat and
bred in the middle of winter, quite out of
their proper season, In consequence. The

According to the Moslem creed, says an

Abraham for Hagar that the took a solemn
vow that she Would give herself no- rest
until she had mutilated the fair face of her

At length, however, she relented and de

how was she to fulfill the terms ot the vow

Instead ot disfiguring the lovely features ot

boring a hole in each ot the rosy looes of

LANDS OF MYSTE&IES.
The
Pacific Dotted With Verdant
Isles Unknown to Sailors.
NEW ONES BORN EVERY YEAR.
Awful Spectacle of Tolcanic Upheavals From
the Ocean's L'ed.
K0BINS0X CRTJS0ES Itf FAR-OFF SE1S
rWBITTEJf TOR T11S DISPATCn.l
One night in May, 1819, Captain De Pey
ster, an American, of the ship Rebecca, was
scudding along before a stiff breeze six hun
dred miles north of Fiji, when a startling
cry from the deck summoned him from his
cabin. He had not a gray hair when he
heard that cry, but next morning his fore
lock was perfectly white, and until age sil
vered his head it remained a conspicuous
memento of that night.
It was as dark as pitch and raining in
torrents when the "men forward called out,
"Alight ahead." That light, which sav
ages had kindled, saved the ship, for she
had been bowling along toward certain de
struction upon an unknown island. It was
a night of terrible anxiety, for in spite of
all the sailors could do it seemed, for hours,
as though their ship would be driven to de
struction upon the land. The preceding
night, while the Eebecca was under all sail,
the helmsman suddenly eaw a low, white,
candy beach apparently only a cable's
length ahead. Turning sharply on the star
board tack he just cleared the laud.
He Had Discovered a Kew Group.
Captain De Peyster had discovered a new
group in the Pacific, the Ellice and De
Peyster islands, and the exciting incidents
of those two nights decided him thereafter
to lie by every night after dark until day
break. Sailors tell us that many a lost ship
id the Pacific has doubtless driven in the
darkness upon some little unknown island,
meeting the fate that De Peyster narrowly
escaped. Many an atoll'can scarcely be
distinguished even by daylight a few miles
away, because its highest land rises only 30
or 40 feet above sea level. Hundreds of
ships pass by the Laughlan group, east of
New Guinea, but few white men have ever
seen these low-lying islands.
The best authorities on Australasian
geography say that there are many lit
tle islands scattered over the Pacific that
have never been seen by white sailors; and
we know this is so, because every now and
then a new speck in the ocean is Drought to
light. Not only little rocks, but islands ot
copsidcrable importance are discovered.
Plenty ol Islands Yet to Explore. t
The great expanse stretching between
Celebes and Timor on the west and New
Guinea on the east is still imperfectly
known. New islands like that which the
A"e7 Hoqaslov.
steamer Samarang discovered in 1888 south
west of Tenimber will give zest to travel in J
that region. The same may be said of the
Bismarck Archipelago northesst of New
Guinea, where a while ago Captain Allison
in the sfeamer Fei Lung discovered a new'
island now known as the Allison Island, a
weli wooded and fertile bit of land rising
150 feet above the spa. Mr. H. H. Romilly,
describing his cruises in the Western Pa
cific, says that many of the reefs and islands
east of New Guinea are not marked on any
chart, and the position of many others is
incorrectly laid down.
The fact that many islands, particularly
in the Western Pacific, appear on the
charts more or less out of position shows
that there is still much work for explorers
in this part ol the world; and it is remark
able that explorers are now studying for
the first time islands whose existence has
long been known. The three larger islands
of the Louisiade and D'Entrecasteaux
groups off the southeast" coast of New
Guinea, populous and interesting in all
their aspects, were first described by Basil
H. Thompson in 1889. They had never
been visited before, and absolutely nothing
was"known about them.
Keeping Secrets Till Fortunes Are Blade.
Now and then traders light on some
islands not marked on the charts. They
guard their secret well, for it is not to their
interest iu iiuruui. rival irauers to tne iieias
they monopolize by announcing to the
world the discoveries they make. Not long
ago a trader who had done a good business
on the Woodlark Islands, gave the charts he
made to the clptain of the German man-of-war
Carola, and they have been published.
Explorers were beginning to travel around
among his islands and he could no longer
hope to keep his knowledge to himself; so
he made a contribution to geography.
A Scotchman named Donald Dow was
found in 18SG by an exploring party living
alone among the natives on the island of
Jesus Mario. He is said to be the only
white man who, up to that time, had lived
among the savages of the Bismarck Archi
pelago, and he was not at all pleased to see
the intruding white men. He was collect
ing beche de mer, and in due time a ship
was to come to cirrv off his cargo. It is not
known that any white man ever landed
upon the islands of this great archipelago
before 1875, when the Challenger expedi
tion was there. Dow said that if'he was
not killed, and if the captain of the Danciug
Wave remembered to pick him up, the fish
he had cathered would make him a rich
man for life.
Hanv Modern Uoblnson Crnsors.
It Is not improbable that sailors to-day
are living the lives of Robinson Crusoe on
little island specks here and there. Such
a castaway, a sailor named Jorgensen, was
lound in 18S8, living without human com
panionship on Midway Island, in that vast
expanse northwest ot "Honolulu known ns
Anson Archipelago, not one ot whose little
Eruption at Falcon Island.
islands is kuown to be inhabited. Aban
doned by his shipwrecked comrades,
who took refuge on another island, he had
lived in solitude for about a year, faring
poorly upon seabirds and fish.
Beside islands that have existed for ages
before mariners have seen them are others,
thrown up in a few hours or days from the
bottom of the sea bv volcanic eruptions.
Natives ot New Brftain and the Tonga
group have witnessed this remarkable phe
nomenon within the past few years. One
morning in 1878 the awe-stricken natives
along the shore of Blanche Bay, New
Britain, saw in the bay an island which
was riot there the night before. It was
about 900 feet long and 300 feet wide, aud
the natives still say that it was pushed up
from the bottom of the sea. though it is evi
dent that it was formed by the enormous
volumes of mud nnd debris that were shot
high into- the air from craters that had
opened in the sea floor. It was at this time
that the remarkable spectacle was wit
nessed of a ereatWv full of violently boil
ing water: and for some time the neighbor
hood was rendered uninhabitable by reason
of the immense quantities ot fish that were
killed in the super-heated waters.
The Birth of sin Island.
We may expect from time to time to hear
of the birth of new islands along the various
lines of volcanic action through the Pacific.
The same forces that reared Iceland above
the sea, within a recent geological age. by
means of matter brought from the bowels of
the earth are still in operation and the two
most conspicuous examples of these gigan
tic convulsions of nature that have recently
occurred are found, one in our Aleutian
chain and.the other in the middle of the
Pacific in the Tonga group.
Old Bogaslov is a volcano the Russians
wrote about over a hundred years ago. For
40 years it apparently had beeii extinct un
til its internal fires burst forth again in
1882, and iroin new craters opening in the
sea floor a new mountain was thrown up
from the sea. New Boeaslov was first
seen in 1883 and the isthmus shown in our
picture connected it with old Bogaslov.
This isthmus and the rock in its" center
called Sail Kocfc have now sunk out of
sight and vessels pass between the new and
old mountain. New Bogaslov has the dis
tinction of being the latest additionto our
domain. Nobody saw the birth of New
Bogaslov; but a little party that left one of
the Tonira Islands in October. 1885. on the
Schooner Sandfly, witnessed the appalling
spectacle of the making of a new island at a
distance of 40 miles from the nearest land.
atnreln Its Vo'cinic Travail.
One of these pictures gives a faint con
ception of the wonderful scene before them
as they gazed upon it eight miles away.
Vast masses of volcanic matter were rising
in three great columns to a height of several
thousand feet. Smaller quantities of
erupted substances were thrown from nu
merous minor vents. The heavier material
quickly fell back Into the sea, while vol
canic dust, light brown in color, like that
which caused the red sunset glow after
the Krakatau eruption, floated away
at a great elevation; and higher
yet rose vapor from the craters, expanding
into clouds ot dazzling whiteness. Each up
throw from the main craters carried hun
dreds of tons of matter which was from
12 to 16 seconds in reaching its greatest alti
tude. The next day the volcanic forces were
quiescent and the Sandfly approached near
enough to see a long narrow island about 40
feet high. A few days later the eruptive
energy was resnmed with greater violence
than ever, and when it finally ceased, Fal
con Island, as it was named, was three
miles long, a mile wide and 150 feet high at
its highest poiut. It was four years iater
that Mr. J. J. Lister made the picture of
Falcon .Island from which our view is
taken.
It Will One Say Be Verdant.
Many a Pacific island, the result of vol
canic action, was just such an ash heap
when first it peered above the sea. A little
soil has accumulated in spots on Falcon
Island and a few cocoanut trees and plants
are dragging out a sickly existence.
Mr. Lister says the islands nearest to it
justify the inference that the volcanic
debris of Falcon will give a resting place to
a host of marine animals and plants; banks
of pelagic shells will accumulate in sheltered
places; coral reefs will grow and reach the
surface; sand banks will be formed to
which the seeds of shore loving plants will
be drifted by the waves, and another ver
dant island will be added to the summer
seas. Cyrus C. Adams.

The A gert Poet Laureate Hasn't Changed
Mnch in rlair a Centtiry.
The portrait below is the latest of Lord
Tennyson, England's poet laureate. He is
one of the most modest of men. He has
never appeared in the House of Lords since
he took his seat in robes, by the bye,
which were lent him for the occasion by a
brother peer, and were much too small for
him except once, when he voted in the
minority for a reform in the franchise.
Among his family and friends he is dearly
beloved, and in all his life has never been
known to do an unjust or ungenerous thing.
As he bore poverty and neglect with pa
tience and sweetness, so he bears his wealth
and title without a particle ot vanity. In
appearance he is still very much as Carlyle
described him nearly half a century ago,
with the addition of a full beard and a' great
many wrinkles. The stately figure, full six
feet high, is now greatly bent; but be car
ries his 82 years nobly, as becomes a great
good man who has ever "borne the white
flower of a blameless life."
A rOSTDNE DUE TO ACCIDENT.
How the Rich Werselton Diamond Mine
Was Bron;ht to Light.
Tantee Blade.
The most curious instance of how unex
pectedly hidden wealth can be revealed is
connected with the discovery of the Wessel
ton mine, the riches of uhich were only
found out less than two years ago. Wcssel-t-n
is a farm situated, not five miles from
Kimberley and has over and over again been
thoroughly prospected by experts. It re
mained tor a simple Boer to be the instru
ment in bringing the precious stones from
nature's storehouse to the eyes of the world.
Riding out at sundown to bring in his
horses from the veldt, where they had been
running all day, he saw a small animal
called a "mcercat" (it somewhat resembles
a weasel, and burrows in colonies like rab
bits) industriously scraping some earth from
its hole
Some peculiarity of the ground so thrown
up led the Dutchman to fill his handker
chief with it, and, alter lie had stabled his
horses, bv the dismal light of a small lamp
he examined the nature of the earth. To
his astonishment and delight, he found a
three-quarter carat diamond in the sands.
Further search at the meercat's hole re
vealed other diamonds, and six months ago
no less than f2,250,000 was refused lor tne
larm. The great De Beers Company re
cently acquired a quarter share in the same
for 5175,000, and since the accidental discov

CLOTHING FOMEALTII
There's a Scientific Reason for Wear
ing Wool Next to the Skin.,
NEW TREATMENT FOR HAY FEVER.
The Sufferer ftow Advised to Applj Ice to
His Spinal Column.
EFFECT OF OCCUPATION ON INSANE
IWRITTIS FOK TnB DISP4TCH.1
Scientific clothing to-day enters into our
life more largely than at any other period
in the world's history, and it is for health
as well as for fashion tha many stndy the
garments which civilized people wear. Tha
esthetic side of the question has been
studied for ages, and even amoug the bar
barians and savages, but the hygienic view
of the subject has ouly recently been dis
cussed. ,
The ideal clothing is that which protects
us against the sudden changes of tempera
ture, and at the same time does not inter
fere with the functional activity of the skin.
The skin excretes a small quantity of salts,
a little carbonic acid, and a large percent
age of water, amounting in all to about two
pounds in 24 hours. The balance of health
ran only be maintained where these wastes
can be carried ofi successfully into the air.
Wool has, therefore, been considered the
best clothing because it is the best to con
serve the heat of the body, and its porosity
allows the moisture to escape. The ideal
clothing should be porous, and so loosely
woven as to include more or less air in its
meshes.
Wool Is Better Thin SHfc.
The value of wool clothing can thus be
established scientifically, aud this applies
a3 well to the summer period as to the win
ter, for during fie hot term we are more apt
to get our clothing saturated with perspira
tion and this will produce a cold chill in the
body if there Is no wool to absorb it rapidly.
Linens, silk and cotton at such times would
envelop the body in a damp, clinging cloth,
which would not only be positively uncom
fortable, but injurious.
Fine, thin woolen garments are as neces
sary to be worn next to the skin in the sum
mer as the thick ones ars in winter. It is
the ideal clothing, and it will keep the
body in healthier condition than three
quarters of the drugs. A person wearing
woolen garments nett to the skin can
endure the heat better than those wearing
other clothing, for the skin in sueh cases
can perform its functions regularly. It is a
common saying that when the perspiration
is good there is no danger from being sun
struck, and it is on this principle that wool
is so beneficial in hot weather.
How to Take Cod Liver OIL
The value of many medicines prescribed
for certain diseases is otten dissipated and
canceled by the lack of system in adminis
tering them. It has been found that certain
classes of medicines have good eflect when
given in considerable quantities, and their
importance is entirely destroyed when ad
ministered otherwise- Others have to be
given at stated periods to have any bene
ficial effect, while another general class
must be administered in small, homeo
pathic doses. A few need dilution with
water, some require other mixtures to make
them effective, and a long list even of so
called nntntive medicines have to be fed
with a spoon.
Chief among these is cod liver oil, which
seems to have such diflerent effects upon
patients. J. lie best and latest way ot ad
ministering this to those needing it is in a
teaspoon just before retiring. This should
be increased gradnally within a week to a
dessert spoonful as a dose. After the eighth
day it can be given after dinner and supper,
and finally after each meal. This i3 to ac
custom the system to it, and if administered
in this way it rarely causes nnusea. The
dose can be increased even larger until tho
end of the fifth week. Then stop it for a
week, and resume it again in the same way.
The greatest results are obtained by such a
uniform system of taking it.
Treating Asthma With lee.
This is one of the most universal and dis
tressing diseases known, and yet it rarely
proves fatal, although it weakens and
emaciates the person extremely. From the
general impairment of the health, however,
asthma undoubtedly paves the way lor more
dangerous diseases. It impairs the diges
tion, disturbs the nervous centers, and even
weakens the heart and lungs eventually,
making if possible for any disease of a ser
ious character to lav hold of the person and
work out fatal results. A change of climate
is often the only thing that will relieve the
trouble, and patients flock to warm, sunny,
temperate climes to outgrow the disease.
Asthma is largely a nervous disorder,
which affects the blood by keeping from it
sufficient oxygen in the "narrowing of the
bronchial tubes. One of the latest theories
for its cure is the application ot ice to the
spine. This treatment distributes the blood
niore evenly over the body, and keeps it
from congesting near the nerve centers.
Cold extremeties are common in asthraatio
patients, but the ice treatment warms them
and also strengthens the nutrition ot tho
stomach.
In cases of severe hay fever the asthma
which frequently accompanies it can be
entirely relieved by the application of ice
to the spine. Tins is far more healthtul
and eflective than resorting to the various
drugs and medicines put on the market for
the disease, and one can feel entirely safe
in using this simple remedy.
Prescribing Work for the Insane.
In Great Britain and Ireland the theory
is entertained that in order to treat the
county insane properly they should be
givensome suitable and congenial employ
ment which will tend to keep their mind
from insane subjects. The work is to be pre
scribed by a physician as carefully oa any
medicine, suiting it to each person, and
then watching the effect closely. Amuse
ment and recreation are to have a placs
in the employment, and thev are to be al
lotted in suchTn way as to call forth the in
terest and enthusiasm of the insane. The
amusement ot some will be in books, pic
tures, magazines and music, while others
will require the more active exercise of out
door games, such as baseball, footb.ill and
tennis.
In every case the physician mnst arrive
at the needs of the insane through careful
study and experiment. In this way the in
sane asylums are believed to be places lor
curing the insane, instead of simply houses
for confinement.
