Costumes of the Friendly Islanders.

Native drees consists of a vala, or a kilt, composed of tapa, a piece of native cloth, worp alike by both sexes, men covering their bodies with a shirt, while a kofu (or short Mother Hubbard) to the knees complete® the women’s attire. On grand occasions the latter Is of satin or velvet, which are always worn in the presence of a chief. Man and wife never partake of food together, the male portion of the family eating in one part of the lawn and the females in another. Their meals generally consist of yams, plantains, pork, fish, and delicious puddings made of manoc and coeoanut. When infants reach the age of one year, their heads are shaved quite smoothly by a sharp piece of glass—a bottle usually being broken for that purpose. Upon the death of a great ohief, women and maidens who possess luxuriant tresses sometimes cut all off save one lock to show their grief.—Harper’s Weekly.

5,000 Guitars at $2.65.

For those who are accustomed to sending away from home for their goods it is of the greatest importance to know the character and reliability of the establishment selling goods to families from catalogues. The great emporium of the John M. Smyth Go., located at 150 to 166 West Madison street, Chicago, has been established for a third of a century, and has furnished over half a million homes in Chicago and vicinity alone. This firm enjoys the confidence of the public by its many years of fair dealing. It issues an immense illustrated catalogue that should be in every family, as it describes and gives the price of every article required for household use. A sample of the extraordinary values offered by this firm is shown in the illustration of the guitar at $2.65 in another column of this paper. These instruments are indeed wonderful values, and yet they are but a sample of the thousand and one useful articles illustrated and described in the beautiful catalogue of the John M. Smyth Company.

His Reckoning.

Shakspeare enthusiast (quoting)— 2 here’s no art to find the mind’s construction In the face. Small Boy (breaking In)—Pa, gimme the quarter you promised. I’ve piled up all the kindling in the woodshed. Father—My son, you are deceiving me—l can tell it by looking at you.— Detroit Free Press. Baltimore, October 12.—Should the present rate of increase In the net earnings of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad continue, ' almost the entire interest charges and the rentals for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1900, will have been earned by December 31, 1899. This was foreshadowed to-day when the net earnings for September were made public. The estimated gross receipts were $2,804,293, the largest for one month in the history of the company, and an Increase of $216,597 over September, 1898. The net earnings for September, 1899, were also a record breaker, being $1,030,493, an increase of $271,804 over September, 1898. The net earnings for the first three months of this fiscal year, July, August and September, aggregate $3,042,759, an increase of $1,174,668, over the sama months in 1898.

A MAGNIFICENT WOMAN

Holds Up Peruns as the Ideal Remedy for Female Catarrh.

MRS. CLARA MAKEMER.

Mrs. Clara Makemer, housekeeper for the Florence Crittenden Anchorage Mission of Chicago, writes the following letter from 302 Chestnut street, Chicago: “Peruna is the best tonic I have ever known for general debility, a sure cure for liver complaint, and a never failing adjuster in cases of dyspepsia. “I have used it in cases of female irregularities and weak nerves common to the sex, and have found it most satisfactory.” From early girlhood to the end of the child-bearing period few women are entirely free from some degree of catarrh of the pelvic organs. With Peruna the thousand and one ailments dependent upon catarrh of the pelvic organs can be wholly averted. “Health and Beauty” sent free to women only, by The Peruna Medicine Co., Columbus, Ohio.

The microbes that cause chills and fever and malaria enter the system through mucous membranes made porous by catarrh. Pe-ru-ha heals the mucous membranes and prevents the entrance of malarial germs, thus preventing and curing these affections.

Poetry vs Prose

They were fitting on the front porch after dinner, enjoying the evening breeze. Gazing at the canopy of heaven, thickly studded with glittering stars, Mt. Pondering exclaimed: “How utterly incomprehensible is the vastness of nature! Each glittering orb we now behold Is a world of greater magnitude than our own. • How wonderful are the eternal laws which hold this universe of worlds in their unchanging orbits, and ■” “Yes,” interrupted Mrs. Pondering, suddenly giving voice to her train of thought, “and the man didn’t leave us half enough ice to-day and I’m sure the beefsteak will spoil before morning. Did you order those mackerel and the ton of coal to be sent to-morrow?” SWANSON’S “5 DROPS” is the san ot the sick room.

SMOKES “FOURFERS” NOW.

■Mass Who Dropped from Twenty-Cent Clears aad Doesn't Complain. “I remember,” said the man of fallen fortunes, “and not with regfret, for I always look on life cheerfully, the time I smoked imported cigars, at 20 cents apiece, and when the idea I would ever have to smoke cheaper ones did not enter my mind. But circumstance* changed, and after a while I found 1 would have to give them up for a ttane, though I Dever doubted that I should get back to them again. So just temporarily, I dropped down to 10-centers, and. they were not so bad. “I found*l could get a pretty good sort of a cigar for 10 cents. The time came when the 10-center was as far beyond me as the 20-center had been, but Instead qf mending my fortunes continued to fail. Then I took to B-ceniters, and discovered it was possible to buy a very good cigar for that price. So I bought my good 5-centers, forgot the taste of the 10-centers and 20-centers, and was satisfied. It never -occurred to me that I could get below that, but I did. I dropped to the stogies, 8 for 5, and a good make, too. I liked the stogies, I smoked them for a time, and then—it seemed as thought Ways of adapting myself to the situation opened to me as my fortunes declined—l found a place where they sold four good-sized cigars for 5 cents, and that’s what I am smoking now, four for 5. “If I were to compare these with the 20-eetwters, it would be to the disadvantage of these, no doubt, but I have come down to the four-for-fives gradually, and so I don’t note the difference. I could, of course, be more economical still by smoking a pipe; but I prefer a cigar, and I smoke the fourfers cheerfully, never doubting that I shall in due time dimb back again to the fragrant Havanas.”

A Story About Ingersoll.

Here is an entirely new story about the late Colonel Ingersoll, which is quite as good and fully as genuine as the usual run of them: When Ingersoll was a young man he went iDto a short-order restauraxvt in Peoria and called for an egg. “You are an agnostic, I think?” said the waiter, who was a college stadant In the winter, and had just associated himself with the restaurant business. “Your habit of thinking has not betrayed you this time—l am,” replied IngersoU. “Then you do not have faith in the integrity of this egg?” quoth the waiter. “I have no faith In Its int-egg-rlty,” replied Bob. “I have no faith in anything. I believe only in what I see, or in what is proved to me.”, “I have faith In the egg,” said the student, and he regarded the colonel with sad eyes. “My faith tells me that it contains a yolk.” “My doubt admits nothing of the kind,” said the agnostic. So the student broke the egg, and, lo! It contained a chicken! But the fact Is the agnostic took an unfair advantage of the student. He had eaten at that restaurant before.—Cleveland Plain Dealer.

Rapid Spread of the Telephone.

The telephone is only about a quarter of a century old, but there are already over 300,000 public and private connections in the world. Of these the United States have more than half—l73,ooo. Germany, which comes next, has only 150,000; Great Britain only 70,000. Switzerland has more than France, which Is slow to adopt the telephone.

When It Paid.

It was at the village sewing circle, and the unprofitable question of the failure or success of marriage was under discussion. Beulah Blank, a war widow, thrifty to the last degree of New England thriftiness, kept silent until some one said: “What do you think about it, Beulah?” ‘Well, I must say that it depends,” said Beulah. “Now when a woman gits married, an’ her husband gits drafted into the army, and he gits killed, and she gits a pension of twelve dollars a month as long as she lives, it pays to git married. That’s what I think.”

Passing of the Horae.

QUALITY AND NEWS.

FAME AND EXCELLENCE ARE DCTERMINING FACTORS IN SUCCESSFUL DEVELOPMENT. One of the laspertOnt Functions eff High Class Newspapers. In presenting interesting phases ot tori entitle and economic problems, high-elan* newspapers frequently give information of as great value in their advertising columns as in those devoted to the publication of the principal events of the day; and when the fame of a product is extended beyond its natural limits into foreign lands, and a large demand created throughout Great Britain and her colonies and the principal seaports and ci ties of Europe, Asia and Africa, it become* a pleasant duty to note the fact and to tell of the points of excellence on which so great a success is based. We refer to the now world-famed laxative remedy. Syrup of Figs, the product of the California Fig Syrup Company. The merit* of this well-known excellent laxative were first made known to the world through the medical journals and new* papers of the United States; and is one of the distinct achievements of the press. It is now well known that Syrup of Fig* is an ethical proprietary remedy, approved by the most eminent physicians everywhere, because it is simple and yet pleasant to the taste and acceptable to the system, and not only prompt in it* beneficial effects, but also wholly free from any unpleasant after effeets. It 1* frequently referred to as the remedy of the healthy, because it is used by people who enjoy good health and who live well and feel well and are well informed o* all subjects generally, including laxative*. In order to get its beneficial effects, it is necessary to get the genuine Syrup of Figs, which is manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co. only. A noble heart, like the sun, showed* its greatest countenance in its lowest estate.—Sir P. Sidney.
