Be immediately procures bunch of awa or something in the nature of a comforting drink, and after a short prayer to his mountain or river deity he murmurs apologetically, "Here your food" or "Ilere'a your drink," as the case may be. Then he dovours the sol ids or liquids himself. If the Kanaka' health improves, the god Is appeased. If sickness still creeps over him, he turns to the Kahuna. One of the guild is im mediately hunted np and approached with a bunch of awa or a pig. Then the Kanaka dilates upon his Infirmities, and the Kahuna begins preparing to drive out the sickness or the evil spirit. The patient is stripped and laid flat, nd with a bunch of ti leaves the Ka huna rubs him all over, murmuring meaningless words the while. If the Kanaka gets well, the Knhuna's infia' ence is increased. If the Kanaka dies, he was a doomed man anyhow, and the Ka huna did his best.

Astrology seems to be gaining' in pop ularity, and many are tuming to it for pointers concerning the fate that is in store for them. Meteorologists are con' suiting the planets in relation to changes in the weather, end scientists are fieri ously discussing the probability, or even possibility, of the larger planets exert ing an influence on the earth sufficient to affect conditions of life or health. Astronomers do not believe in astrol' ogy, but are willing to give the unirtu: science credit for assisting to develop the science of astronomy. Long before there was an interest taken in astronomy there were many careful observers of the heavenly bodies. The names chosen by these men for stars and constellations remain unchanged.

A Terrible JlablL "Were you ever troubled with the thought while you walked along some street," said Charles Ebort, "Unit some how you ought not to step on tho cracks that separate the flagstones of the pave ment or the boards of the walk? You have been th well, then you know.

If I could excliaueo this miserablo feeling that possesses nie when I walk along the streets for any one of those habits providing I didu't possess all of them already I would do it instantly. "I will start out of a morning for a pleasant stroll, just to see the beauty of nature, and unconsciously I will begin to stop over all cracks.

St. Louis Globe-Domocrat, 111 Fsthetle Lament of Father YVhoM Son Ban Awa From Home. The time was a old October after noon. The place was a lonely junction wait ing room in northern Michigan. The people of the drama wore an old lumberman lit "store clothes" and a young man whose apparel proclaimed the city. And then there was a rough pine box, aooui six levt long, on a truck outside, Perhaps that might have been called "tho properties." Thero is no more desolate place than the Sault Ste. Marie junction, and it was raining that afternoon. There is a dirty little station and tho train dis patcher's house on one side of tho main track. Opposito is a deserted log cabin. There is nothing else to lie seen. In summer the commonest flowers shun tho spot. Tho old man with the crajie on his hat sat looking out at tho box on the truck. The young commercial travelor or auvanco agent, or whoever he was, stared vacantly at his companion. The time passed slowly and drearily. Once a freight train rnttled by. The young man got all the enjoyment he could out of tlutt and ruefully viewed the caboose fading away into tho fog. At length, as if comjielled to speak, the old man said: "Say, I hnte t' see th' rain fall on that 'ere coflin so. They oughtcr made th' cavescs t' this yere sta tion bigger. I tried to bring biin in, but that truck's too wide. Jim was a fine boy, he was, afore ho went up t' Mar quette. That s mm out there. It warn't onnateral for him t' want ter go.

Artificial Maple Sugar. Decoctions or extracts of the wood or bark of trees are frequently used for flavoring sirups or sugars. Dufereut extracts differ in taste. The hickory tree, it is said, yields an extract that will Impart the flavor of the maple, and Daily'! method of producing artificial maple sirup of sugar is as follows: Make an extract of hickory bark or wood by allowing witter to percolalo through the same. The bark or wood may be ground, or sawdust therefrom used. Hot water may be used, or the material boiled iu water. The strength of the extract may be increased by in crease of the quantity of the wood or bark. To one gallon of hot or boiling sugar eirop add, say, three tablespoon- fuls of the hickory extract. It Is said the effect of the extract is to produce a flavor that renders the sirup indistin guishable from genuine maple sugar. If the sirup is boiled down, a sugar re sembling maple sugar in taste is pro duced. London Public Opinion. The Future of (Jreece.

Statistics Which Will Interest Amerleaa Ileadere Because of the Fact That terns. what Similar Methods Are Proposed Is) Parts of This Country. The particular method of dealing with the alcohol question which is now adopt ed lu Switzerland is discussed by Mr. W, Milliut of Borno in a recent publication of the American Academy of Political and Social Science, There is, it seems, no appreciable cur rent of opinion among the Swiss in favor of total abstinence, considered either as a voluntary net or as the outcome of prohibitory legislation. It is true that by an amendment of tho federal coimti tution passed iu 1HH3 the cantonal leg' islatures acquirvd the power of restrict ing the numlH-r of places for the sale of liquor within their respective jurisdic tions, Tho power has ostensibly been exercised in H cantons, but even in these, taken as a whole, tho number of tuverus has somewhat increased. No substantial result, therefore, has followed the concession of restrictive Dower. Such is not the case with tho alcohol monopoly Introduced in 1887. This has accomplished two things. It has greatly improved the quality of the distilled liquors consumed in Switzer land, and has caused a marked reduction in the use of them. Tho primary elm of the monopoly was to bring about the substitution of fermented for distilled liquors, and short as is the period dur ing which the experiment has lasted the results are encouraging. Before the creation of the alcohol mo nopoly, Switzerland suffered from the practice of peddling distilled liquors and from the existeuce of a multitude of small stills in agricultural districts. The product of these stills, by reason of the primitive methods of manufacture and the absence of rectification, was ex eluded from the general market and was consequently consumed by the peas ant distillers themselves. The effect of these small stills was to make tho daily drinking of "schnapps," as the doinestio raw liquor is called, almost universal among farmers and agricultural labor crs. It was the alarming spread of alco holism that ensued which brought about the change in the federal constitution whereby limited rights of interference with the liquor traftio wero grunted to the authorities, both federal and can' tonal. Since the creation of the alcohol mo nopoly, 1,400 large and small distilleries have been suppressed by expropriation From the remuining 00 or 70 distilleries, the monopoly administration is the only purchaser, 1 lie product does not go di' rectly from distiller to purchaser. The administration takes it under fixed Con ditions and brings it back to the trade only after it has been duly rectified. Of tho profits of the monopoly, one-tenth. now amounting to about $140,000 a year, mut be applied to the struggle with al coholism that is to say, to the mainte nance of tho poor nnd the insane whose misfortunes may be traced to that mal ady. Mow as to the effect of the monopoly on the quantity of spirits consumed. In !8$o the consumption of distilled liquors per capita was 10.20 liters; in 181)1 it was only 6.32. A part of this decrease 1b due to the cessution of smuggling of distilled liquors from Switzerland into the adja cent countries. But after reasonable de ductions on that score have been made, it is estimated that the shrinkage in the uso of ardent spirits by the, Kwa them selves is not less than 23 per cent. The decreased consumption is obviously due not only to the extinction of private Btills, but to the fact that a higher price must be paid for the product of distil leries. The joint effect of diminished consumption undof the greatly improved quality of tho liquors sold is expected soon to show itself in the statistics of al' coholism. We have said that tho purpose of the Swiss legislature was not to abolish tho use of distilled liquors, but gradually to supplant it by that of wine or beer. To that end, while tho prico of spirits was raised, that of fermented liquors was lowered by relieving them from certain excise duties. So far as wine is con cerned no marked change took place in the volume of consumption between 1885 and 1890. This is attributed, however, to the remarkable decline of the home production in the poriod named, a de cline which hud to be made, good by im portation. In the case of beer, on the other hand, the effect of the liquor monopoly on the habits or the Swiss people is ununstak' able. The consumption of beer in Swit zerhmd increased between 1885 and 1890 from 80 liters per capita to 45 liters, showing nn advnuce of some 25 percent. So far as the Swiss experiment has gone, it seems to show tho possibility of sup planting to a considerable extent the use of ardent spirits by that of those fer mented liquors, such as beer, which con tain relatively little alcohol. New York Sun. IAW THAT 13 QUEEIl. A Decision Which l'rartlralljr Makes a Mom de Plume Common Property. A very interesting claim, In which very author who uses a signature is more or less concerned, was ignomlnl- onsly dismissed by Judge Lacombe in the United States circuit court. As I understand it, a mediocre book was pub lished in this city puqiortlng to have been written by Alan Dale, thenom do plume of one of the brightest and cleverest of New York's younger literary men. As a matter of fact, Mr. Cohen (Alan Dale) i'id not write tho book, and when he heard of its publication protested against the use of his name. Protest being un availing, through his counselor, Mr. Stockier, ho sued tho pnhlishor, claiming l,0O0 damages. After hearing Mr. Co hen's testimony, Judge Lacombe virtu ally informed the jury that there was no necessity of further evidence, as it could not lie shown that the plaintiff's salary on a dully paper iu this city had been do creased by reason of tho publication, or that lio had had any subsequent trouble with publishers. That may bo luwj it s not justice, Mr. Cohen could have proved by George Alfred Townsend, A C. Wheel er, Samuel L. Clemens and other writers of national repute that the signatures over which they are known to tho world of readers Oath, Nym Criuklo, Mark Twain mean a fortune, and that any use of thoso signatures by other parties was not only an abuso but a traverse of equity, dishonest and cruel. I can t un derstand LacomWs action in the mat ter. It virtually ftiys to irresponsible publishers: "Go ahead, publish what you please, lyingly announce that the nmttor is written by any author whose name you may prefer. He has no rem edy unless he cau prove that he has lost an engagement or is in disfavor with the publisher." I wonder now Lacombe would like to see decisions, purporting to have been rendered by him, signed with his nnme, circulated in the community. And I also wonder whether it ever entered his somewhat interesting mind that it is ad visable to mulct thieves, liars and bear ers of false witness, for the protection of the community in general and of men as well to whom reputation 1b worth much more money than the circuit court could possibly collect. Joseph Howard In New York Recorder. Churches as Places of Refuge In War. Our ancestors transacted a good deal of business of one kind or another in and about their churches. To begin with, the churches of old England in turbulent times were regarded as places of safe custody for public and private property. In the border land of England and Scot laud the idea was carried out still more completely, and churches, or nt least their towers, became regular fortresses and not infrequently were objects of of fenses and defense. We may note in rural England that in the cases of an cient churches the towers are often not merely disproportionate in size to the rest of the church, but are carefully and strongly built, evidently with an object. hven iu peaceful Surrey and Sussex tho belfries are veritable strong rooms with barred windows aud massive doors and often contuin a massive treasure chest. Hither, at the first alarm, money and valuables were hurried, for beyond the security of thick walls and bars and bolts there was an a?gis of sanctity which in a superstitious age protected the building from the most ruthless of foes. The fortresslike construction of many of the border land churches is an interesting study to antiquarians. Lou- dun Standard. Poverty and Clothes. One marked difference between the very poor in the English cities aud the corresponding clans in American towns is that the latter buy their clothing of tailors and manufacturers, and therefore get it new, while the English poor, and particularly the English women of low estate, prefer the castoff finery of "the quality" that Is sold at the secondhand shops. Tho result is that tho American laborer and his wife make a better ap pearance in their cheap but simple and suitable garments than the London nav vy or hawker, with a shiny, ill fitting broadcloth, and his wife iu a garish hat p-.-.i.i. t .. t . ,i. i m . i.i wiiu uroKcu lentners aim uniusiuonaois, not to say bedraggled, skirts.

Girls are all a good deul alike as a general thing, you know, and one does get so tired of the same old stereotyped girl- sweet enough in her way, I grant you, but with an eternal sameness that grows rather irksome. She is a little witch to begin with. She will steal a man's heart before he knows it and then pretend not to know it herself. This damsel is most attract ive to men, for, spite of her originality, she is adaptability personified. She seems to be able to converse intelligently with all sorts of men and gets each fellow's fud at her finger tips too. She knows more than muny of her men friends, but she never lets them suspect it. She makes each believe that she learns much from him and depends so much on him. She is a very feminine, unassum ing, natural sort of little woman, with something appealing about her. But down under it all she is artful.

An Old Custom Seldom Followed. Ill many old families the custom has obtained from tune immemorial of put ting an extra plate and chair for the stranger or un unexpected guest. In those old days tliero was good reason for this. Hotels were fow, and traveling was mostly done ly private conveyance.

Marshall Wheeler, one of the brt known of the great army of Pacific coast scientists, claims to have discovered a third principal motion of the earth,' which is this: Every 20,908 years the globe changes its north and south poles on account of the attraction the earth has for its own magnetism. The sun, too, strongly attracts one of the poles and repels the other. This being the case, it only takes the short space of 20,003 years for the double attraction to careen it over to such an extent that it suddenly "flops" 00 degrees. Mr. Wheel er says that one of these grand "flops' occurred 6,000 years ago, at the time set down by the geologists as the "glacial epoch. St. Louis Republic.

To trap various insects in the opeti air, half fill wide necked bottles with sirup or sweetened water, adding enough arsenic to make the liquid poisonous. After a rainstorm the bottles should be emptied and relilled, as before mentioned. Hang the bottle on the branches of the trees and among the bushes, etc. This is a ready and simple method of trapping all insects that prey on sweets, conse quently keeping the trees free from many noxious pesi that prey annually on ahads auJ fruit trees.
