The daneo hega:i again, more fervid

Tho priest stooped down and picked
tip the ilea I kid.
He chanted a prayer, nnd threw tho
carcass on the tire, saying as he did
so: "This is but the offering before
Jhe feast," and kont on his way. Tho
smell of roasted lUsh tilled tho uir,

S.ho fanatics.
Again thp dancing procession
stopped, and again the priest waltzed
od' toward the tent. This timo h;; took
another with him.
They were in tho tent somo few
minutes, and then emerged, carving
between them a burden. This bir

, Tho priest and his helper were
preeted with louder chants than ever.
They laid down their bunion and tho

Tho crowd were now insane, with
their consuming passion. They tilled
tho air with cries for I.iliuokalaui.
Jobbs stood stididly looking on, but

Tho priest waved his long knife in

necessary, f:r somo wero even now

(vith a fals( fmpros; ion of the rilua

And Willis remained a Mumbling

this policy a reproach to tho United

Gradually tho circle of the malcon

Hints to Nei illi-WmiK n.
Never use long basting threads, r-s-1
ceially iu the basting of waists, nor
think lo save time by taking long
siilclus. 1'ins should be used plenti
fully while lining a garment on the

mediately with regular busiing the
moment 1 he garment is reunited. The
position for hooks or buttons, mid for
Ihe cum spending eyes or button holes,
should be carefully out-lined with

T. 1 10 experiences, boih In New

have led to some Important re
sults, both from nu engineer
ing point of view and for the interest
ed cimniiinltles. In the earlier days
of riiiid construction, when tin engi
neering features of the inaticr were
not so well understood, it was consid
ered Indispensable to secure special
cjualilles of slone or gravel, certainly
for the macadam nud for the binder.
If r.nt for Ihe tell'ord. Obviously It
would result in much economy if local
materials could be used, nud II has
been found pi rl'eelly feasible to do so
1 1 many places. This result of expe
rience conduces s.-cin in l!y to economy
ntnl makes feasible many Improved
r.iail extensions which would uoi oth
erwise be co:iicm;.lnt"d by the eoiun 11
liilies in which 1 hey are located. The
experience of the past year In New
Jersey lias emphasized Mils feature of
the mailer. High railroad rales a.nl
combinations of cptany owners have
led lo si 111 greater resort lo local 11. ate

Improved roads has prnmpleil trials of
