Judge Levy’s heart is as big as_ his stores, and he knows just how to tickle the poor printer. We can assure the Judge that the gift was highly ap- preciated and his generosity will not be forgotten soon. Straws show which way the wind blows: Our enterprise merchant, L. A. Weil, manager of the Enter- prise Shoe and Bargain store, hes been compelled to employ another clerk. This makes! seven persons now employed in this store, and Mr. Weil says if his trade continues to increase as it has in the past few inonths he will have to have more help. Advertising in the Times and selling boots and shoes and netion goods cheap will bring trade and force employment of more help. His stock of boots and shoes are not nade in the penitentiaries, therefore the souls of his boots and shoes are ninde of solid leather and not brown paper. Remember this point. SAMVUAN GUSIUMS. How Brides Are Won, Houses Built and Graves Marked. Lieutenant Charles H. Ripley, in a talk on Samoa, gave a most interest- ing account of the marriage customs of the Samoans. After ascertaining the amount of dowry the maiden is carried off by a party of the friends of the groom, who never marries in his own village. The natives vie with each other in collecting bottles, which are a great rarity in that country, and are used after death to encirele the graves, which are level with the ground, two or three rows of bottles indicating superiority. The beverage of the Samoans and the process of manufacture is more curious than in- viting. A substance resembling liq- uorice is chewed by girls until it be- comes soft and pulpy, when it is mixed with water, and must be used soon after being prepared. If too much is taken a slight paralysis of the limbs follows, but soon passes off. It is used largely at entertainments, and people who indulge in it properly seem to be benefited. The occupation of the people comes down from gener- ation to generation. The son of a carpenter can not be any thing but a carpenter, and no other family can follow that occupation. The process of house-building was described. A man needs a new house, talks with his relatives, sounds them as to whether they think he needs one and will be likely to contribute, visits the house-builder with many compli- ments upon the fine houses he hears he builds, and leaves a present. Af- ter a time he repeats his visit. Later arelative goes with a present and sim- ilar compliments, and so on until at last the builder signifies his intention of building the man a house and sends word he is coming. A house is put at his disposal in the village, his ex- penses are met by the man for whom the house is to be built, and when the house is finished the relatives assem- ble and presents are given to the house-builder. Very little money is exchanged. Although a gentle peo- | ple, in war the Samouns are quite bar- | ting off the heads of the wounded af- | tera battle. The enemies show great | consideration for each other in arrang- | ing for a battle, sending word that if | perfectly convenient one will meet the other with so many men at sucha place at such a time, never varying from the number of men agreed upon. | Lieutenant Ripley closed with anin- | teresting account of a picnic given by a Samoan princess, several hundred servants being in attendance, and the | chief entertainment for the natives | consisting in sliding down a waterfall | so about thirty feet high.—Springfield | | Mass.)
