Tlic inhiihitnnlsof thenmonn Islands, usually ca led Knnnkns, are very intelli gent people, and ly fur tlio best look inirofanyof tlie r-oiith f'ea Isliimlcrs. Tho men, snys Ons C. Ilorder, in the New York World, average about 8 feet 10 inches in heii;lit, Hre erect and prom in bearing, and have straight and well rounded liiiibs. The men all wear a clo it, or short cloth, nrnund their waists, which does not extend nny further in length than down to the knees; this clout in most ca-cs is manufactured from the bark of coeoanut trees, and called "I.ahpahluhpah," but sineo calieo and other light linen materials have been introduc cd many of the men prefer to wear thoso, but nl ays choose among the most picturesque colors. Tattooing is one of the aiwun's greatest prides, and every man is ornamented in a tnot artistic style, and furnished by his arcnts with a pair of tin toot d knee irpvchrs. JIany of tho men wear car rings. The color of the Samoans is of an olive yellow brown. The nose is usu ally straight, and not flattened like that of the Malay, and the mouth is large, with thick lips. The hair is bl ick and straight. Among the men it is consid ered a great honor to have red lift r. and the redder a person's hair tlio more inlht ence he can command. Hut as nature has furnished the inhabitants of Canton with jet black hair the natives have to look tor some oilier source in order to be enabled to wear their choi. et red. t'pon my first visit to Apia, the capi tal of the Samoan Islands, in 1ST, I was surprised to i t so n.any men walking about with what 1 at first believed to lie snow-white hair, but upon closer exam ination I learned that tho natives apply a whitish clay similar to our whitewash to their hair. This they use instead of pomade or hair oil and apply it in a thick mass until the hair becomes thor oughly hardened and white. The men continue this process of bleaching their hair until it loses its former blue color, and with time turns to a brownish led. A rather peculiartaste.but they f el proud of the r success in color. ng their hair, ('uitc often women go thiouah the same performance, but tiiey are compelled to wear their ha. r short, as long hair cannot so easily be discolored. Nutives of Samoa, as a rule, regard work as some thing unnece-sury, and all the work done on the planlations owned by 1- uro peans is performed by Kanakas imported from other islands. The Samoans arc very friendly, and in Jiassing always greet a stranger with a u-arty "Kal ollah," which, translated into our language, means "i ood day." You stop to speak to one of these chaps, and after having cone uJed your con versation ho will never forget upon de parting to hail you with a "Koiiuh"' of good-by." The mode of living of Samoans is very simple, and days puss so.netiiucs without a Samoan partakmg of any hot food. Cocoanuts, bananas, pineapples, va n, and more particulaily the bread fruit, once in a while ton e ti.sh and a piece of hog. especially when it happens to be one of your white neighbor's hogs, con clude the simp! bill of tare. One of the greatest beverages among the San.o ans is ,-ava." The ova which grows in clusters from six to ten feet in height, is a species of pepper. 1- rom its dried root is made an intoxicating beverage wh ch whin taken iu s all does is a del glitlul soporific. Todr nk ava is all very well if you do not see how it is inanfactured. But if you witness the process, as I did on one occasion, when I tirst sa'npled this native drink, I feel assured that your taste for aaA will be somen hat changed. 'While taking a stroll over Samoa one fine-afternoon I came. -StYoss a 1 larpe nujibcrof ApianB, mjir.,mi women. gTound around one of tho native huts, apparently en gaged in some very interestirg work. Havii'g lost my way and being anxious to see all there was to be seen, I ap proached tl.e crowd, greeted my friends with a "Kalloffah," und, with all the Snmonnatmy command, explained iny eirand. The natives treated me very kindly, and at on. e invited me to take a seat in their family circle, offering mc the best place between two charming young girls. I noticed that all the women aud young girls were engaged in chewing at a root, while ou their laps rested smail coeoanut bowls, which I took to be spit toons, as they allowed the juico of the roots to drop into the bowels. In the centre of the circle stood a larger bowl, and whenever one of the women hud chewed enough on the root she would empty the contents of her bowl into tlio larger one. I watched these proceedings with great astonishment, and could not imagine to what eud these women exer cised their jaws on those gray roots. After the bowl in the centre had been about half tilled with this brownish fluid, some limes and oranges were produced and mixed with the rest, and the milk of number of cocoanuts added to the whole, completed the Samoans' famous drink called "ava." To see its nninu ture was hard enough, but now came the hardest part. I was supposed to drink this stutl. I was at a loss what to do. I knew that if I refused to partake I would Imj insulting in v host. I tried to in ike believe that 1 was not thirsty, but this did not seem to work at all, and to my great horror was offered the tirst drink after the mixture had been pronounced by the oldest chief pre-cnt to be all right. My fair neighbor to the light offered me quite a large bowl tilled to the brim with ava, and I had to partake. 1 took a sip and tried to return the balance because I did nut like its pepp ry tute, but it was no go. I hud to finish. It was all that my life was worth. 1 managed to get through as best I could, und washed the whole down with some coeoanut milk. I afterward learned that had I refused to drink with my Samoan friends I certainly would have been compelled to quit their presence in disgiuce. Hard to Kill that ISrur. A passengertrai.i on u Florida railroad stopped some fifteen miles lroru C'ed.ir Keys to prevent a roll sion with some cattle, when a black bear came trotting leisurely out of the woods, climbed upon the platform of til car uud intend the express room, where he found three striuL's of fish and some 1 -aeon, ull of whicii went quickly into his muw. hen the tia.u btartnl up lac swaying of the car s li lit the door.

FARM AND GARDKX. When to riant. Miles. A grrat deal of failure is due tn plant ing bulbs nt improper seasons. The time reci m nended as being the best is the months of October, NnvcmlwT, March, nd April. Many fail from planting late in the spring nftcr the weather has be come hot and dry, which causes the bulbs to decay before they can form roots and commence growth. Of course, where the climate will permit, bulbs can be planted at any time during the win ter, but if it can" be dono in nutumn, it would no doubt be belter. Bulbs should always be planted a soon n received, or fiacked in soil until planting time. Nothi ng in juics them more than exposure to the nir, or to lie around dry. .-ImrriVan Ayricvtturiat, Corn for Shpcp. Experiments in feeding different kinds of grain to shci p during the winter has proved that corn, if fed constantly, and to any great extent, produces a fevered condition ol the sistrtm. Hits can, doubtless, be remedied to sont" extent. tenr. by feeding liberally on roots. Most ! " ......... ... . ... corn nnd oats, in the proportion of one pirt of corn to two parts of onts. A half pint, of this mixture makes a lilieral ration, and many prefer to give only half that amount when feeding food hay. Beans are very highly relished, and nt the present low price c in, undoubtedly, be profitably substituted occusiona'ly for the corn and oat ration for a change. When corn alone is fed the flock is fre ouently troubled with cruntjons or humors, which causes the sheen to nib and irnaw their tWnc r,..,si,i,i a Ins. f Wni i Value of rtrnn I'pnn tlie Farm. Professor Urown. of the) Ontario Aff- ticultural College, at ( tielph, Oa:ia la, recently summed up the usefulness of bruti to fanners, after having carefully considered its chemical composition : 1. Hran is a concentrated food, which, though varia le in composition, possesses high nutritive vuInc. 3. Holler process bran is. on the aver age, richer than old process brau. H. Its excess of ash or mineral matters eminently tits it for bone building in growing atn'mn s, and for supplementing iuc hick oi mineral matters in roots. 4. Its i lienu al composition points to the conclusion that it us-omewhat better adapted to the formatWm of fat and pro duction of licit than to the formation of muscle or of milk. 5 Both its chemical composition arid its physical form adapt it udmirnbly as a su plcmenlary f od to be used in con nection with poor nnd bulky fodder.such as si raw and roots. tl. Its manorial or fertilizinir value alone repays i:s cost. . By retaining and feeding the bran npn the farm the olijertion to selling the grain is 1 art v overcome, viz.. the exhau-tion of the soil, since the bran re tains mo-t of the mineral matters whi. h raniiot be derived from the uir Ai York World. Kicking Cows.

The cow a luded to above was n large and beautiful animal. She was always milked three times a day for a few w eeks after calving. She wius milked into a measured twelve quart pail, and would give it full und a half ngain in the morn ing, and about three quarters full at noon and nt night, of fine, rich milk, so there were excellent reasons for keeping her; but she would kick, and seemingly never until the pad was full. When her leg was secured as described above, there was no more trouble. Some farmers tie up a fore leg, hut this renders the uni m d uncomfortable an 1 she will not give down her milk. If good results are ex pected, a cow must be kept as comforta ble and happy as po-silile. Becollect as a maxim: ".Never beat or punish a kick ing cow." Farm anil Gaiden Noten. Celery must have free moisture at the root. Few house plants cive enunl satisfac- faction with pot hyacinths. The season to start such is at hand. Hens must be kept warm and sheltered from the inclemencies of the weather if expected to lay in winter. No oil penetrates wood as well as crude petroleum, none socheupand none so elective as a prc.-ervutivc. Do not overfeed your sheep or place so 1 much food before them that they will 1 leave any, for they will soon learn to waste laige quantities of it. The Suffolk sheep, as claimed by their friends, hae few superiors as mutton sheep. They make extruordinury w eights, 1 and ure popular in Knglund. They are nardy und good grazers. Save the grass in the meadows, even if not of the best quality. Better have q surplus than not enough lay for winter feeding. Place your stueks where there is the least danger of loss by fire, even if you have to haul it a little further. If farmers could bu persuaded to act together with the purpose of securing honest und economical administration of government, the effect would be most beneficent, tuxes would be reduced, ; general thrift promoted und politics puri fied. The heavie-t lamb ever raised in the United States, an Oxford, whirhattained one bundled pounds in nine months, was fed ull the ground outs, in addition to its mother's milk, it could eat. A twin sister reached eighty-five pounds iu the same peiiod. Burehorses ure fed on the clean blade of corn fodder iu sonic si allies, us it is free from dust. The stalk of corn is stripped of its blades by hand, and the blades are then tied into a small bundh , which is hung on the stalk to cure. It ever touches the ground, and is couse uently freo from dirt. A successful poultry raiser feds wheat in the morning, barley at noon nnd wheat iu the evening. Iu addition to the barley ha gives the slop aud refuse from the kitchen alter boiling it. The wheat fives a rich yellow color to the yolks which is so much desire in the city iv hero eggs are sold in retail markets. When potatoes are dug In a wet tima 1 more or less soil will adhere to them. To re novo this when unloading the potatoes roll them down a rack of slnts set length wise, and far enough npart so that the potatoes will not fall through. In roll ing over on this slat most of the dirt will be knocked offand fall to the ground be nenth. It is much better when ploughing the ground late in the fall to leave the ridges in the rough condition instead of harrow ing, as the frost, will exert more com plete disintegration of the clods. Hy late ploughing, especially after frost, the cutworms will bo destroyed and the land more cosily cross ploughed the following spring. The present tide of opinion Is that corn for ensilage should be cut just as it is going out of the "roasting-ear stage" i. f. , just as most of the cars fairly begin to dent nnd glare. At that time stnlk, tassel and leaves are full grown, and yet green and tender, and probably contain about nil tho nutriment they will ever i get from the soil. An important item in providing shel- i. t ... .1. i j plnce for h , g, d ' A wet cither in j tuc summer or winter, is very unhealthy omt should certainly Do avoided when ever it can be. The sheep shed nnd vurd should always be furnished with good drainage, and the roof and the shed should be made tight. The shnpe of eggs has nothing to do with the life germ; it conforms with the shape of the ovary and duct: hence wo have long eggs, short eggs and round cgg.

It con tains 437 acres, and is composed of 5il, iim) trees of the following varieties: Seventy acres of wincsnp, '210 of Ben Davis, 70 acres of Missouri Pippins, 40 acres of Genitalis, 8 acres Cooper's Early, and 8 acres of Maiden's Blush. I.nst year's crop is estimated at 40,000 bushels. Bruised apples soon decay, and there are few windfalls that aro not somewhat bruised. A very few of these in a barrel will spoil the wholo before winter is over. They are fit only for immediate I use, and for this there is often much waste, as the bruised spot is discolored and must bo cut out before eating or cooking. In most cases the windfalls' are I also worm eaten, which causes their pre- mature ripening. j AVire grass is a pest that proves very troublesome, and every joint produces a , new plant. Ii it overruns a field the surest mode of killing it is to keep the ground weil shaded w ith some thickly growing crop, s .ch ns millet, buckwheat or peas. AY ire grass delights in plenty of sunlight. If it becomes thickly looted the ground sho. ild be ploughed und har rowed, and a shading crop put on as soon after as possible. j Boses in winter are not often killed by cold but by the drying out of moisture which cold often causes.

Co 1 lumbus was a man of faith. "Ood made j me the messenger of the new heavens nnd the new earth," he said in his old I nge, "und told me where to find them." It was this patriarchal fuith that inspired him to weigh the earth, and to travel the unknown seas. Palos throbbed with excitement as the banner of the cross aud crowns of Colum bus rose ubove the wave, and streamed into the' harbor. The bells rung. On landing Columbus and his crew went to the principal church, accompanied by j the whole population, ami offered up solemn thanksgivings for the success of the expedition. j i Columbus hastened to Barcelona to 1 meet the Court. His journey was a tri 1 umphal march. I It was the middle of April, the month of nightingales and flowers. Columbus . entered the city amid music, bells nnd shouts of triumph. Ferdinand und Isa bella, seated under a superb canopy, re I ceived him as a viceroy rather than an admiral, and requested him to relute to them tho history of his voyage. He did so, surrounded by the Indians whom ho had brought with him, with their gay plumes, aud offerings of tropic birds uud fruits. As he ended his wonderful narrative there arose a burst of music, and bore away to heaven the thoughts of the sov ereigns and nobles and people, already thrilled and melted by the most marvel ous tale ever told of human achievement. It was tho chapel-choir of Isabella. ."We pruise Thee, oh Ood; we ac knowledge Thee to be the Lord; all the earth doth worship Thee, the Father everlasting," The maiestic l atin hymn swept on, until it reached the sublime words: "Holy, holy. Lord Ood of hosts, heaven and curth are full of the niu csty of Thy glory !" The great audience was filled with ersiatic devotion. It was, perhaps, the ino-l happy moment of Columbus's life this first thanksgiving for the new world. Yuutt'i L'vitijiauion.

Dark gteen folt hats are in favor. Flush is revived In fashionable favor. The short visit or mantle is the wrap for full drrss. Silver, gold and steel braids appear on dressy jackets. Coat sleeves are a matter of course on tailor-made suits. All house dresses have fancy sleeves of one kind or another. Silver braid on silver gray cloth makes a beautiful trimming. Jackets aro worn by young women, raglnns by older ones. All sorts of fancy colored borders ap pear on new handkerchiefs. Long redingotes, with capes, are next to raglnns in fashionable favor. New redingotes reach to within an inch of the bottom of the skirt. There isa threatened change from high coiffures to modei ntely low ones. All frocks, unless tailor-cut aud made, have full drapeiies on tho bodice. The coat sleeve is not tho universal favorite now that it has been in tho past. Miss Laura .Minklc, n bund woman, is preaching temperance sermons in Iowa. Mary Walker, of Kentucky, hanged herself because she found a few gray hairs in her head. There are 10,000 milliners in New York and Brooklyn, or about ono bonuct maker to every fifty women. Plaids of Scotch wear are in the most harmonious colorings; the tints are neutral and blend iu charming way. The fashion of wearing two kinds of braid on the same garment it not only new this season but it is also pretty. Oueen Christina, of Spa'n, is not pretty, her face being too heavy and in expressive, but she has goodness and tact. Printed lawns aro used for handker chiefs, and when a border is embroidered on to them they are very pretty for young ladies. Miss Nellie King is the crack detective of Minneapolis. She is only 20 years old, but she has achieved distinction as a thief-taker. Since the outer garment has become so elaborate and beautiful the walking d ess has become less conspicuous in its trimming. Miss Hose Streater, of Midway, Ala., is said to be the belle of the New South. She is a brunette, nnd at a distance greatly resembles Mrs. Cleveland. Mi-s F. II. Muller, of London, a mcm bcrof the London School Board, says the I "nited States is certainly the earthly parad.se of the gentler sex. A present stylo consists in wearing four gold wire rings on tho same finger, each ueing set with a single small stone, as a sapphire, emerald and ruby.
