There are some interesting facts {in the diary Yept by the late S. P.

In all the verses there was an undertone beneath the song. This undertone continued alene for a few seconds at the end of each verse, after the superposed song was finish- ed and died out separately and slow- ly, like the drone of some great bag- pipe. The natives gave names to each of us, mine being 'A-to-hi,' which means 'qui a les lauriers.' "I went out to the public dancing and singing, in competition for prizes offered by the Government. It takes place in the square before the Government House, and everybody is there, either performing or looking on. Almost the 'whole population of the island has come. "The chief intreest among the Is. landers seems to lie in the competi- tion of singing 'himinfes,' and next to that, in the dancing, which is pantominic as much as regular. As a publi show, most of the native dances are unpreseniable, so that, I have "understood, the authorities have had some difficulty in finding a! dance which will do for such an oc- casion. Savages are here from the neighboring islands, a fine-locking chief from Cool Island taking a part. and a woman from the same island gave a little of the presentable part of the 'Hoola Hoola,' Her body would be quivering like a jelly, and sud- denly grow rigid as a statue--a not ably odd effect. "In one very good dance by the Cook islanders over 30 persons took part. They sat down in three rows, representing rowers in a canoe, while two seull and steer. They had paddles, and paddied to the sound of drums. A lookout man sweeps the horizon till he sees a big fish, and the canoe rows for him. One of the Steerers sharpens a harpoon and passes it forward, and the fish (a man dressed in red) is harpooned. There is a tremendous time in pull- ing him in; be runs around and en- "| tangles the line among the bystand- ers, and finally he gets a second har | poon in him, is hauled on board, and { (in pantomime) cut up with an ax, dismembered, and eaten by the crew, but it is rather a pantomime than a dance. "In the afternoon I went over te see preparations for the fire-walking. Within 100 yards of the ship a shal- low pit is dug about 9 x 20 feet, by | 18 inches deep. This is to be filled with firewood, and the stones heaped on the wood, These are smooth, water-worn, volcanic stones of vary- ing size, but all rather large. and weighing, at a guess, from 15 to 50 pounds. The number of stones was about 200, and their average length about 13 in¢hes: i "The fire there, I am told, invar- fably burned for four or five days before, and the stones became coated with lime. I learned that on one occasion, the French authorities hav- ing forbidden the priest to perform im his usual place, he made the 'oven' of other stones, heating them for 36 hours. "At 4.40, the old priest, Papa-Ita,' arrived. He beat the near stones with a large bunch of Ti leaves three times, and then began to walk through the middle rather hurriedly, { ! 'followed by two acolytes, who ap- peared to shun the hot central ridge, and walked along the sides. Then he walked back, followed by several; then back once more with an inereas- ing crowd, most of whom avoided the centre. The horry-footed natives did the rest. One white boy took off his shoes, but could not stand the hoat, | upon bare feet, and stopped. | "At 'this point I had the hottest' st: of the pile in the centre, on which the feet had certainly -rested several times, hauled out and placed in the water bucket. A trifie of the water was spilled by the alunge, and the rest boiled hard continued | to do so for about 12 minutes. At the end of that time the stone was still too hot to handle. i "It was a capital gxhibidon of savage magic and well worth seeing, 'but mo miracle!" ° a ------------------------ The suicide rate of Germany was, before the war, the highest in the world---twenty-one in 100, a A lot of people are going this world on the pres-the-button , middle THE MARKETING CODVISH. jome of the Frills Demanded by the Public. people make so much tomplaint about the higher cost of iving, they ev a marked willing- jess to pay extra prices for famey 'ood products. Thus at the present dime there iz a large and ineressing- jemand f "absolutely boneless' rodfish, w is put up in the shape of attrae bricks. used for this purpose, ckbones have been cut into the hands of "bone- * who use specially designed lorceps to remove the ribs and any small scraps of bone that may be left. Then they are cut into pieces by girls who weigh them out into portions of exactly one pound or two pounds. ¢ Two first-rate slices are used for the top and bottom of the brick, while short and narrow strips serve for the part. This arrangement is made while inserting the pieces in iron molds, which thereupon are pressed tight by foot power, the cakes thus formed being finally done up in paraffin paper and a labeled wrapper. The best pieces left over are sent to market in suitable packages un- | der the name of "purest codfish bits." What is known as "shredded codfish™ is made from trimmings, run through a machine that tears them "o shréds. To make this material very fine and fufly, it is freed by pressure of part of the water it contains, and is then passed through the machine again, after which it is sifted to get rid of any particles of bone that may be left. Put up in glass jars or in paper cartons, it is a familiar commercial article The heads and othew waste portions of the codfish go to the glue factory, and what thereafter remains is con- | verted into chicken-feed and fer- tiliger: The livers are put aside during the original cleaning process, the oil they contain being worth $4 a barrel to the people who refine it for medicinal use, If derived from old and stale Itvers, it is stilt valuable for tanning leather. Often a fishing vessel will earn $500 or more on a single trip {rom cod livers alone. Though Living Bottles of Ink. Along he coast of New England there is a common species of sea snail that is a living bottle of indelible ink. It is a crimson ink, very beau- tiful and quite as durable, when ap- plied to lingerie, as any that one can buy. : The mollusk in question is found clinging to rocks just below the level of low tide, and the ink is contained in a whitish vein beneath the skin of its back. The fluid is at first yel- low in color, but when a garment marked with it is exposed to the sun, it turns green, then blue, then pur- ple and finally to a brilliant un- changeable crimson. There is oné of the two species of whelks from which in ancient time was obtained the famous *"Tyrian purpie"--a dye considered too splen- did for the adornment of any but kings and nobles. Indeed, it was so costly that none but the very rich could afford it, wool dyed with it being worth $175 a pound. The liquor was procured by crush- ing the snails in a mortar, Six pounds of it were required to stain a pound of wool, the ready-woven fabric be- ing soaked in it and afterward expos- ed to sunlight. Stuffs thus dyed are said to have had a remarkable color effect, presenting changing hues to the eye, like modern "variable" silks. The chemistry of to-day, however, is able to produce Tyrian purple in the laboratory, as one merely of a list of coal tar derivatives that come under the general head of "aniline" dyes. : z Not an Easy Job. An official of the Indian Bureau on one of his inspection tours of the reservation Indians, was told by : Quanah Parker, chief of the Coman- ches, that many of the tribe had more | than one! wife, relates Everybody's. | . The official at once told the chief that this condition of affairs must cease--that he must advise the offen- | ders that the extra wives must be handed over to their parents. Short- ly thereafter the official asked Parker whether this direction had been fol- | lowed. "Did you tell your bucks that | they must have but one wife?" he asked. "Yes, all gone," answered the | chief. "Did they get rid of the extra | wives?" "Yes, all gonme," answered | the chief. "But," urged the official, | 'Who had himself gathered data upon | the matter, "I understand that you | yourself have six wives!" Yes, me | got six." "That wom't do, Parker.
