J. J. T. Fhillippe interested those who at- tended. Rev. Phillippe began the| lecture. by telling how the South Seai Islands were reached, then telling of their situation; formation, and vegetation. He took up the na- tives, giving t.lleir form of religion, before the coming of the missionary, which was very much like that of the ancient Greeks, for they wor- shipped stones, trees, etc. Then their mode of living was taken up in which Father Phillippe told of their cus- toms, describing their dress, their amusements, their chief articles of fcod, their work. He also told of marriage among the South Sea Is- landers, their death and burial. One of their old customs the missionaries have found very difficult to abolish was their method of getting rid of the old people. After they have be- come too old to help support the fam- ily, the old men and women are eith- er starved to death or buried alive. A missionary in these islands must be able to do anything being called | upon by the natives in all their trou- bles. His life is a very hard one there having to live as the natives do, eating their food which consists mainly of fish and cocoanuts.

Would Follow the Method of t 3 ! Fire Underwriters. | S i Judge Lawrence W. Halsey recently told the following story: “Speaking of insurance, that re- minds me of an old Dutch farmer— it’s a true story, too. The man had his barn insured for $500, and one day it burned down.. When the. ingurance Bgent came around, and our friend, the Dutch farmer, expected to get . the $500 in cold cash, he was disappoint- ed by the announcement of the agent, who said that his company would build a new barn, instead of paying the money to him. “Of course, the old man was sore; he would much rather have had the money; but he couldn’t do. anything eand 80 he became resigned to his fate. ; “Several months after that an am. bitious life Insurance agent came around to the Dutch farmer and told him all about the advantages of hav- ing one’s life insured. The agent proposed that the man insure the life of his wife. “But our friend, the Dutchman, didn't reflect long before he said: “No, siree, nothing doing on insur- ing any more. I would look fine insur. ing my wife's life for a couple of thou- sand dollars, and then afterwards, when she has died—which God forbid —then you come around and tell me you can find another wife for me at much less expense.” Buried Without Trappings of Woe. In accordance with the written wish |° of the late Graham Gilmour, the well- known airman, who met his death at Richmond, Surrey, England, the other day,—that his funeral might be “mer- ry and bright,” the coffin was taken from Richmond to Mickleham in a motor car, which was draped with blue, and the grave was lined with azaleas and ivy. The flowers sent were principally daffodils, violets, and car- nations. A bunch ef mimosa and vio- lets bore the inscription: “In sorrow- ing memory of one whose youthful spirit and kindly words cheered a day in an old woman’s lonely life.” ' His “Dutch Courage.” A rat found his food supply miss- ing after the distillery was closed and there were no more scraps from din- ner pails. He had always been a pre- cise rat and a teetotaler, but now the emergency was extreme and he took to drink. A small quantity of young liquor had been left behind and this the rat! tasted cautiously. It was like liquid barbed wire and the jolt was instan- taneous. He took another drink and straightened up, filled with new sen- sations. A third put him on his haunches and he exclaimed loudly: “Bring on your cat.” Parisiennes Learn to Box.

Hur- ley of Flagstaff, Ariz. ‘“These girls, fairly skiliful and moderately indus- tripus, could scarcely be rated ideal, ‘but ‘on ;the whole, they are satisfac- tory, and in the absence of other help we are extremely glad to get them. Their efficiency is the result of train- || ing in the Indian schools of the reser- vations, and when one stops to con- sider their native environment and semi-savage rearing it is rather extra- ordinary that they should be as clever and valuable as they are. “By temperament these Indian girls are inclined to reticence. They do what is asked of them uncomplain- ingly, but they rarely smile and never " joke and are not demonstrative in any ‘way, with one exception. This is when the woman in Uncle Sam’s employ, who was their school superintendent or teacher, comes around to make her perfodical visits in order to see how' the girls who are at service are get- ting on. Whenever this visitor areives the particular Indlan maid who greets her gives her a welcome that for an Indian is exceedingly cordial and ef- fusive. The girls, indeed, seem to cherish a real sentiment of deep grati- tude for the one who first taught them the elements of English education and gave them thelr first lessons in ‘| domestic science.—Baltimore Ameri- can. New Office. The long-discussed Greater Berlin “Zweck-Verband” (county council is the only intelligible translation avail- able) has formally come into being with the election of Herr Steiniger, city chamberlain of Berlin, as “ver- bandsdirektor.” His functions will be many and difficult, for the “Ver- band” is a league of the cities, towns, villages and boroughs which comprise “Greater Berlin,” and is intended to create a metropolitan area of 200 Bquare miles, with a gross population of 4,250,000, over which there is to be ‘| central administrative authority. Each tommunity sends delegates to the “league council, and it is this body over which Herr Steiniger will pre- side. Berlin in a spirit of magnanim- Ity declined to accept the majority of delegates to which its vast popula- tion entitled it, and it 1s content to be voted down on occasion by a hostile combination of lesser boroughs. The “Verband” will not interfere in any respect with the individual liberties and prerogatives of its constituent members. A A A i Tailor’s Cutting Retort. A newly elected Australian labor M, P. returns his occupation as “talors cutter”—an avocation rarely repres sented in parliament. Some time ago, says the London Chronicle, Australia had a remarkably eloquent and witty tailor, who became not only an M. f"; but a minister of the crown. To ht & new governar made this maladroit remark: “I hear, Mr. Jones, you were once & tailor?” “Yes, my lord, I was.” “And how are 'you engaged now?’ “Taking your excellency’s measure.” Tomorrow, will be wash dress day at this store.
