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

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

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.

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

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

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."

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

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

Burehorses ure fed on the clean blade
of corn fodder iu sonic si allies, us it 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

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

1 he largest apple orchard in the
United States is claimed by Fail mount,
in Leavenworth County, Kansas. 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

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

j A Grand Thanksgiving.
j That was a memorable Thanksgiving
j when, in the early spring of 14ii;l, Co-
lumbus returned from his first voyage of
discovery to Palos, and hastened to meet
the Spanish sovereigns at Barcelona. 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.

A GOOD SUGGESTION.
ECONOMY, at wise folks say, What course should people then pursue f
Is wealth pronounced another way, In short, the only thing to do,
So while " hard times " the people cry, Though rich in bonds, or worldly poor.
The Toilet Soaps they should not buy. The " Ivorv Soap" they should procure.
Let all who buy such Soaps take care
To weigh the cake exact and fair,
And find they pay in figir.es round
A dollar, more or less per pound.
A WORD OF WARNING.
There are msny white soaps, each represented to be " just as good as tha 1 Ivory V
they ARE NOT, but like all counterfeits, lack the peculiar and remarkable qualities
of the genuine. Ask for "Ivory" Soap and insist upon getting it.
