Some Women Who Can Swim Like Mermaids and Dive Like Frogs. ———- ewe The women ot Samoa are not so pretty, but far virtuous, more than those cf the Society islands, and possess traits peculiarly their own. Their only clothing is the lava-lava, frequently made of grass, covers them from the hips to thighs, the field for adornment being the heac around which wreaths of orange blossoms and ot red flowers are worn. They are naturally en- dowed with a profusion ot black hair, but, being enamored ot the crushed strawberry color, they coat the head with slaked coral lime, a few applications ot which give to the hair the desired hue.

He saturated a piece ot bread half an inch square with St. Jacobs Oil, and ted itto them. Next day he ex- amined them and there was no trace ot the disease remaining. After a chase of 2,000 miles, ex- hausting all the strategy of civilized wartare, Gen. Miles has forced Ge- ronimo and Chief Narchez to an un- conditional surrender. Twenty halt starved and miserable warriors sur- rendered with them. They had been chased through the mountains and over the alkah plams, pursued so hotly that they could get nothing to eat and scarcely time to sleep, until nothing but surrender was left them. Their protest against civili- zation has been made in a long list ot brutal and most inhuman butch - eries. Nota man of the little band nt is a murderer fifty times over from the standpoint of civilization. Not one of them but deserves death under the laws of civilized war. They are savage, brutal, inhuman, but who can help admiring the in- domitable? Their only that they are too nearly starved surrender means to be able to fight longer.
