Drlnkinc Kava with tho Natives.
Even at this'lato pcriotl in tho Nine
teenth century, when tho people nro
supposed to know something of almost
every habitablo spot upon the globe,
they continually meet with something
now in tho habits and customs of races
living m somo rcmoto part of tho
world. Members of tho crew of the
ship John Brycc, which was wrecked
in tho South Pacific, givo n graphic
account ot uio drinking of "kava" by
tho natives of tho island upon which
they landed after beinrr m an onen
boat soven days. It was tho island of
Jdanus, located about 18 degrees south
latitudo ind 17G degrees west longi
tude. Tbcro is only ono white resi
dent there an Englishman.
After tho arrival of tho shinwreckwl
party King Malatua, who reigns over
uio utno island, gave them a banquet,
which is thus described by John
"Wilko, ono of tho crow:
His majesty issued an order to his
subjects to bring in tho material for
tho dinner, which they did. It was
served in a largo bamboo housoat2
o'clock in the afternoon, banana leaves
being spread on tho lloor for a table
cover. Tho king sat at tho head with
his chiefs'on his right. Capt. Murphy
was to occupy tho seat to his left, but,
as ho was ill, tho king's daughter took
tho seat. A crowd of natives wero
ranged around tho walls of tho house,
while women and girls wero singing
and dancing on tho outside for tho
amusement of tho guests. Tho bill of
faro consisted of raw fish, fish blood
sauce, cocoanuts, cocoanutmilk, fowls,
roasted pig and sweet potatoes.
After tho dinner two young girls
wero sent out to dig up somo kava
roots, and when they returned with
tho required quantity they wero
ushered into tho banqueting hall.
They washed tho roots and then sat
down in front of a largo basin partly
filled with water. Each maiden was
provided with a sort of ladle, which
was fastened under her chin by means
of thongs passed over tho head. A
root was then taken by each young
lady and tho process of mastication
commenced.
As thoy chewed tho saliva ran out
of each corner of their mouth and into
tho ladlo prepared to receive it under
their chin. As soon as it becamo full
it was taken oil' and emptied into tho
basin. When tho root was sufficiently
chowed it also was spat into tho basin.
When all tho reots had been treated in
this manner tho girls proceeded to rub
tho stuiF thoy had chowed between
their hands and wrung and squeezed
tho juico out of it, throwing tho refuso
away.
The liquid in tho basin was then
stirred up, cocoanuts shell cups wero
Eroduced. and tho decoction was
anded to each of tho guests by tho
ladies who had done tho chewing.
Wo wero warned by tho Englishman
in an undertono that to refuso would
givo offense, so each gallant tar par
took thereof with expressions and feel
ings akin to that of tho small boy who
was forced to swallow a doso of salts.
It tasted and looked justliko soapsuds,
and another doso in my caso would
certainly havo acted as an emetic. The
natives are very fond of it and drink it
readily. It has a most peculiar effect
upon tho human system.
You will seo a rinjr of natives drink
ing kavat and apparently nothing the
matter with them, each man talki ng
and acting in n perfectly rational
manner; but let ono of them attempt
to rise and you will notice the differ
ence. Ho is drunk from his waist
to his feet, while his upper story has
not been affected at all.
When wo had finished our meal tho
nativo men nnd women sat down, tho
festival being continued until 11
o'clock. After eight days on tho isl
and wo wero taken to Apia, Somoa,
and thero wo shipped for liomo. San

John S. Wise is a noted dog man
not a "Russian dog faced man," but a
lover of and authority upon dogs.
Nobody owning high bred dogs is
quito satisfied with his possessions
until they havo tho approval of Wise.
A favorablo decision at a bench show
is not more satisfactory to dog owners
than such a decision from Mr. Wise,
and his work on dogs is a recognized
authority. Ho has ueen president of
tho American Bench association and
conducted tho greatest dog tests, trials
and shows in tho country.
Ono day in Broadway, New York,
when he was strolling with a friend.
Col. Gordon, a young man stepped
up to him and greeted him as "Judge
Wise." Ho talked glibly, and John
smelt bunco and wondered whether
thero was any hayseed in his hair.
Finally ho said: "Seo here, I think
I havo seen you before, but I am not a
judgo and 1 nover occupied any judi
cial position."
"Oh, I don't mean judgo of law,"
was tho reply. "Of course I know
you aro no judgo of that. I mean
judgo of dogs." Washington Post.

Soiled in chorus: "A wild beast." She

ono boy ventured to hold up his hand.
His answer was: "no looks like a
tiger, but ho's his wife." A few Sun
days ago tho word "mother-in-law"
was in tho Sunday school lesson. Tho
infant class teacher asked if any one
know what tho word meant Little

At a leading summer hotel during the past

"Yes," said Mrs. D., "wo did talk about it,

Dr. J. Eugene Jordan. Seattle, AVash.
Dear Sm: I hope you will not consider
me tedious if I tell a little experience,
such as may not have come under your
observation. About fifteen years ago a
bright red spot, about the sizo of n pea,
came on one side of th i end of my nose.
It was a source of grent annoyance to mo
nnd great anxiety to my friends, who
feared the spot might be a cancer. It
seemed strange such a thing would come
on my face, for 1113' health has always been
good and I never had so much as a pimple
on my skin. I did not know what to do
for tile trouble. Thero was a throbbing
pain all tho while, and last fall, when the
cold weather set In, the spot became limn
ing red and hard, null remained so. It be
came vety sore to the touch and hot. Tim
naiu was a throbbing, severe pain. Then I
became truly alarmed, for tho thing was
becoming worse, nnd some timo in Febru
ary I remembered that you recommended
M water for the eyes when they wero In
flamed; so I npplied this to my nose one
evening and was sure Unit with tills one
application the inflammation was lessened,
I kept up the treatment n week, and my
nose seemed well. I continued taking tho
medicine for six weeks, nnd at tho end of
that time the purple spot was entirely
gone, nnd there is no truce of the thing
left. Tho redness has also entirely disap
peared. I could not be thankful enough
that I had heard of your medicines nud
knew what to use. Respectfully,
Mits. J. Pimvis.

John Gnnlncr, M. D., is a London Phy
sician who makes v. specialty of tho treat
incut of diseases of elderly persons. In a
recent book upon this subject, Dr. Gard
ner Bays :
"A healthy nnd vigorous stato of every
part and every organ is csoential to the
health and well being of the wholo system.
'To grow old gracefully,' is not tho com
mon lot of all. AVith advancing yeant
cotno increased infirmities they aro by nr
means inevitable, and their prescneoisduc
to tho failure to keep up to their work the
various organs of tho body. The Btudy of
tho body by scientists furnishes unques
tionable evidence that tho duration of
human life may bo prolonged to a hundred,
yearn."
Why, then, do so few live to that agep
and why after middle life nnd often be
fore is thero so much siillering from ner
vousness, rheumatism, feebleness, lack oC
appetite, sleeplessness, and debility ? Bo
catiso long life or overwork hns wenkenod)
tho nervous system. Itev. T. Williston.
the famous author of "Christ's MillcnioT
Keign," whcn eighty four years old, suf
fered with indigestion and "rheumatic af
fections. His attention wns called fortun
ately to l'nine's Celery Compound. A free
use of that grent medicine for tho ticrvca
cured him, and made n great improvement
in hia general health.
This grand discovery is an unequaled
niedicino for tho aged. It produces life
und energy and js a marvelous preserver
of the firo and vigor of youth. There i
nothing like it forstrcngthening tho nerres,
nnd curing tho diseases to which old folks
aro specially subject. It is truly cnlled in
vnltiablo bv those who have mntle a special
study of diseases of elderly people.
