Old Hawaiian Custom of Birth Celebration In years gone by the Hawaiians, a primitive, nature-loving people, made gods of mountains, trees and stones, "the “alii” or chiefs associated the birth of a child with a specific tree. A tamarind or a Ifoa tree was planted at the time a chiefs child was born, and grew to maturity with the child. On certain occasions the first fruits of a young tree, coconut palm by preference, were plucked by a son of the “alii.” When an heir was born to the “alll” the ceremonial drum was beaten at the temple and a sacred hula performed. One of these ceremonial drums, taken from a temple on Diamond head, In Honolulu, is of koa wood (mahogany) and nearly four feet high. Its ends are covered with sharkskin and the sides decorated with human teeth. As the great drum booms out Its message that a son has been born to < the “alii,” the people gather to offer, sacrifices and propitiate the gods. A feast Is given by the chief and the seered hula-hula is performed. This 6a-; cred hula Is more a historic panto-; mime than a mere dance, and is as different from the hula-hula of today as a symphony orchestra Is from a jazz band. *

PDDDUCTIDN IF llfllfl ; DIG PROJECT 111 GOINTIf INCREASE DUE TO DISTRIBUTION OF LIMESTONE. IMPROVED METHODS USED Experiences With Canada Varie gated'Seed Show It Produces Better Plants Than American Variety. Seeding of alfalfa for hay and the distribution of limestone have been major agricultural projects in St. Joseph county for the last 15 years, according to E. C. Bird, county agricultural agent, ow there are about 10,000 acres of alfalfa grown* in this county. Attempts to increase the alfalfa acreage were made by the fleet county agent, J. C. Bordner, about 1914. Limestone and legumes are among the important extension activities handled by the present county agent. It is expected that the acreage will exceed 10,000 this fall. The seeding of alfalfa is usually preceded by sowing from two to five tons of limestone an acre. Seed inoculation, the transference of soil enriching bacteria to seed, is a common practice. Formerly, dirt taken from roadside alfalfa or sweet clover I was the approved manner. Cultures of the proper bacteria are now applied directly to the seed, a cheaper and less laborious process. The Grimm seed which yields a hardy plant is more productive. The' Canada variegated seed, cheaper; than the Grimm seed, is Grimm seed , transplanted in Canada. Because it; stools out better and has more stems to the plant, the Canada variegated is the preferable plant for lighter soils. / On a tour made June 29, good stands of alfalfa were observed on the farms of Mrs. Allois Hillaert, of Madison township, and C. S. Jackson, Center township. The value of limestone was_best demonstrated on the farm of Oliver Jackson, ' Center PERSONALS Mr. and Mrs. Roy Slagle and family, Mr. and Mrs. Orrin Slagle and Mr. and Mrs. Wilbur Stineman of Indianapolis spent the week-end at Kale Island, Lake Wawasee.

Twice Escaped Death Plans Carefully Laid Sorcerers in Papua, or New Guinea, seldom attempt to employ their “purlpurl," as native magic Is termed, against white men, hut twice one MiraOa did seek to avenge a fancied wrong by bringing about the death of Merlin Moore Taylor, the writer relates In “The Heart of Black Papua.” The first attempt was frustrated when a native discovered that a coconut handed the white man contained minute silvers of buinboo In the nut’s milk. If swallowed, these bits of fiber! would penetrate the delicate tissues of i the vital organs, causing Inflammation and eventually death. Later Taylor narrowly escaped death from a snake which charged toward him while he was walking along a narrow path. The sorcerer had captured the poisonous reptile, tied a noose of pliant vine back of its head, and placed It in a pot over a fire with a handkerchief owned by Taylor. Tortured by tfie heat, the snake associated the scent of the handkerchief with Its torture, and when released sought to attack the person whose scent was similar to that of the handkerchief. The witch doctor then became resigned and disappeared into the jungle until the white man had departed. Asked for It Said the teacher: “Now, boys, quadruped and biped, you knowjfare two kinds of animals. Quadruped, animal with four legs, such as cow, elephant and horse. Biped, animal with two legs, such as —well, ah— Yes, there is u biped"—pointing to a picture of a goose on the wall—"and I am a biped, and you are ull bipeds. Now, what am 1?" A breathless ppuse, then one of the •bipeds answered, "A goose, sir!”
