KOTAL been the first -of their kind we might be at some loss to account for them; but we must go back more than a dozen years for the beginning of the efforts of the German traders to con trol the islands and to turn them, if possible, into a German possession. Aa long ago as 1883 Consul Stuebel and Herr Weber, the head of the lead ing German firm, tried to bring King Malietoa under their control, and, finding this impossible, en couraged Tamascae, the Vice-King, to plot against the Government. In 1887 a German naval officer landed his men at Apia and hauled down the Kind's flag, the unfortunate monavch being soon afterward taken away on a Ger man ship to a distant land, and lamasese set up in his stead. The people, finding Tamasese only a Ger man puppet, chose Mataafa to be their King, and he distinguished himself by defeating with considerable loss a landing party from the German cruiser. Meanwhile the vigorous protests of Consul-General Sewall, our able rep resentative in Samoa, backed up by those of the English Consul, were fol lowed by the measures of Secretary Bayard against German aggression, and the result was a Conference at Ber lin, ending in the tripartite treaty un der which the islands are now gov crned. The war with Spain and the press ing occupations connected with the ex pansion of our territory have caused Samoan affairs to slip temporarily into the background. The appearance of the Philadelphia in Saraoan waters will Bignalize the resumption of our full rights and responsibilities there. More fascinating than romance is the naive story of the brown skinned folk of Samoa these twenty years past. It is tragedy, it is farce, it is operu bouffe, it is child's play. It is a tissue of intrigue and greed and simplicity. And the mighty import of the world politics threads the whole by virtuoof the clashing interests there of the ' three great Powers of America, Eng land and Germany. 1 Nearly every year in the past twenty there has been a crisis therej a clash of kings or a wrangle of cousuls. War ships have rollod into the tragic bay of Apia and lain there at anchor, silent but powerful factors in the situation. Almost ten years ago came the great est 'of all the crises. Bival kings were warring in the island under German incitement. Consuls wero at daggers' point. Washington, London and Ber lin ; were aroused. Out across the Paqiflo into Apia harbor sailed three American warships. Three Germau vessels lay there already.. Her Maj esty's steamship Calliope put in. The ngly quarrel was smoothed over by none .of the Boft speeches of di plomacy. The Biitish and Americans stood allied against the greed and as sumption of Germany and there was no pretense of concealment. Thobluff naval officers talked plainly of ehoot - ing and meant it. Bnmors came to .America that already there had been a fight between tho United States steam ship Adams and the German ship Ad ler, in which the former was suulc by the first shot. One day the firo was neatly ignited. English and American vessels had followed the Germans on a cruise about the islands with out spoken intentions. The tension was too much; at one point the German lowered his gun ports and made ready to fire. By no more than a hair's breadth MATAAFA IN NATIYE COSTUME, possibly was war averted that day. For some reason known only to him self the German did not fire. The ships steamed sullenly back to Apia harbor. There they lay watching each :tK nnn Tl, prey to fate.

Mataafa must be barred from the throne. He was. CHIEF MATJAI'a'a, ONE 07 THE STPPOBT ERS OP MATAAFA. When his following grew turbulent they stole him into exile and kept him hidden away for three long years. Times changed. Political lines shifted in the islands. Malietoa, the weak, died. Note the drama. A man of the United States, William Lea Chambers, of Alabama, had come to be chief justice of the island, under the provision of the Berlin treaty. Not long ago a German had held that office. Now that a question of vital political import -was to arise to be passed upon, a hated American was seated in the chair. A half dozen claimants for the throne sprang up. Moli, the brother of the dead Malietoa Lanpepawasone; Malietoa Tanus, a son of the dead sovereign, a stripling little known to the chiefs and the people, was another. Tho American chief justice, con struing tho Berlin treaty, read Mataafa outside of the ranks of those who may be King of Samoa. - The old exile had carried by a vast majority the odd sort of an election by which a king is elec ted. The Germans, who had put that clause in the document, found it last to bar their own path even more than that of the aged, indifferent Mataafa, whom they had brought back from exile to make a king. The Germans want the rnling hand in Samoa. They cannot claim this on the strength of their superiority in WITH HIS SISTER AXD RELATIVES. trade with the islands, for in this re spect they fall far below, the United States, Great Britain and Australasia.

This landed estate was secured by the original German trading firm and its successors have never parted with an acre of it. Tho great drawback of Samoa ia that it is so far from markets. Its best products are tropical fruits, which are abundantly produced, but distance from markets prevents exportation. In 1888 the Ceylon coffee disease first appeared on the plantations of Samoa and in a short time pnt an end to coffee production in that group. No attempt has since been made to raise coffee. . - ' Practically the whole business of Samoa is based to-day upon the cocoa nut, and the export of copra, the dried meat of thecoeoannt, represents nearly all the exports of the islands. In 1S97 nearly 11,000, 000 pound of copra: the native urodnet. were ported in addition to the larcre aUan tity raised on the German plantations. What with her political troubles and the causes that have conspired to keep her commerce small, Samoa has not had a very prosperous history. The time is coming, however, when she will see better days. The resources of the group, which, all told, is about as large as Rhode Island, have yet scarcely been touched. In fact, nobody lives more than three or four miles from the sea and the inner parts of the islands have not been utilized. JOKE ON A BRIDAL COUPLE; How the Yonng Wlfe' Trunk Looked When It Reached the Station. Mr. and Mrs. Walter Mahaney, who married recently at Meadvillo, Penn., were desirous of reaching their new home ia Jersey City without observa tion. They might have done so had it not been for a trunk. Some per sons, at present unknown to Mr. and Mrs. Mahaney, decorated that trunk as no trunk ever leaving Meadvillo before was decorated. First two large pasteboard hearts, red in color, were tacked on the top. In black letters across one heart ap peared, "We are as happy as two tur tle doves," and on the other was printed "Two hearts that beat as one." Bed, white and blue ribbons were also attached. Mr. Mahaney, who is employed in the general postofSce in New York, had been told by a friend in Mead ville that he need not give himself no concern about the trunk. The friend would see that it did not miss the train. The bride and groom reached the Erie Bailroad depot in Meadville as the train they were to take to Jersey City came into the depot. "AH aboard 1" shouted the con ductor. "Walter! my trunkl What about it?" said Mrs. Mahaney, who, as Miss Annette Baldwin, was one of the belles. of Meadville. "There it is," answered Mr. Mahaney,. as he caught sight of a por ter lifting the trunk into a baggage car- "Oh, I'm so gladly! thought it IT "ft WONDEBFCIi B RID All TBUNK AS IT AB HIVED ET JEBSEY CITY. wouldn't arrive in time," said the bride. "I wish it hadn't," groaned the groom, who had just then caught sight of the decorations upon the trunk. Daring the trip to Jersey City the bridegroom tried to reach the trunk in order to denude it of its decora tions, bat the baggage master, who winked at the conductor, wouldn't help him find it, and when the train reached Jersey City the trunk had crained a few new trimmings. The air was blue when Mr. Mahaney, in Jer sey City, aided by a sympathetio bag gage man, who said he had recently been married himself, finished tearing off the decorations from that trunk.

Neither bf my ladieS is an actual dairy maidi There are iwd of thul, you see. They lite at Belle Meade, in . Middle Tennessee, -which is the biggest, the most beautiful and the most famous stock farm ia the world. Blood horses have made it famous for eevemiy-nve years, xne aairy is a ' m m new development. The young women. with their brother, are the joint heirs to the estate, which embraces nearly 6000 acres, inclosed with thirty-five miles of stone walls. Around the deer park, where 500 odd head of deer roam and browse under the for est primeval, the stone wall is sup plemented With ii six-foot iron paling. The cows do not ran with the deer. They have richer pastures all their own, meadows knee-deep iu lush blue grass and white clover, lyirg either side of Bichland Creek. There are 150 of them, highgradarseys or full-bloods of the most famous milk ing strains. The number in milk ranges from ninety to 130. The milk ing is a pretty sight indeed. The sleek, deer - eyed, f nil - uddered, creamy-sKinnea creatures come - in from the pastures and ranpe them selves each in her appointed stall. The stalls nil three sides of a great square. An open shed covers it. Out side there runs a trough for the dry feed, which serves as an appetizer for the abundant grass. In the middle, as well as about the pastures, there are ironwork baskets, open under neath, each with its lump of pure rock salt. - Five stout and jolly black men do the milking. They are marvelously rapid, still more marvelously skillful. They use deep tin pails, and can make the milk streams play tunes upon the bottom of them "Yankee Doodle or "Dixie" as the hearers incline to hear. They work in happy rivalry, as to who shall milk quickest and clean est. As soon as two cows are stripped clean they are sent away to pasture without waiting for the rest. The milking shed is a good way off the dairy proper, to which the milk is wheeled in deep tin cans, kept scru pulously clean. The dairy itself is a picturesque gray stone building, with ivy upon one wall and a climbing rose blossoming riotously over the door. It has a cemented floor and a separate circular chamber for the wise-looking mule which turns the big barrel churns. Only the cream is churned. The milk is set in open pans, gauze covered, within troughs fed with fresh spring water. It stands there twelve hours, then is skimmed and the cream kept twelve hours longer before churning. It would be an in sult to name butter-oolor in connec tion with the product. All the year round the pound prints, bearing the Belle' Meade stamp, are as yellow as virgin gold. The windows have wire 'screens; so has the door. An intruding fly is never permitted. Everywhere the most speckless, the most scrupulous cleanliness reigns. The butter is sold by contract, and fetches in yearly some $19,000. ' "But I never see it," says General W. H. Jackson, the master of Belle Meade. "The dairy belongs to my daughters; they need what- it brings iu for pin money." Chicago Becord. Girls Are Growlns Taller. If girls go on increasing the average stature of women, as they have done for the last decade, where will they stop? is another question often asked of late at the various classes where a number of young girls are gathered together by their little mammas, who look strangely dwarfed and shrunken by the side of their tall young daugh ters. A question asked half proudly and half anxiously, for, although it gratifies their maternal pride that their girls should I bo like the daugh ters of the gods, "clivinely tall," they have no wish to see them pass those celestial limits, as they We doing, and become Brobdingnagian damsels, who bid fair to frighten away all their part ners, says a writer in thdNew York Tribune. For it is an incontroverti ble fact that the boys are noa develop ing in ratio with the girls; tfaeir aver age height has in nowise increased of t late years, while it is really sVartling to see how that of their sisters and their friends is assuming reaUfy Ama zonian proportions. . "A few years ago'feaid a society woman recently, "ny daughter was invited to join a dafocing class of girls who were not vet out. At home we thought her quia w e tall, as she was an inch taller than! I. and I had always considered myslelf over the average. o 1 was consid find that she looi erably astonished to feed decidedly under- sized in compari son with the rest of the girls, who towered above her. luven then 1 won ered at the increased height of the comi g woman, but what was my amazem t and almost con- sternation this y wr when l saw my second daughter w th a younger set, who have taken he places of their elder sisters, and f girl is a mere r others, and that t d that my tallest gmy among tne e second crop of girls will be much aller even than the first. - Many of the measure six feet, and even more! I s' ... . i ould say that this remargaoie increaE e m the average height of woman is. really phenomenal, and that scientists hould give it their attention." - First Step ia Yocal-Colture. "Proper breathing is so essential in voice production that it must recoi first attention, and the first require ment is to keep the mouth shut," writes Katharine E. Junkermann in till Woman's Home Companion, in an artklaC oa ."The Cultivation: of the Speaking Yoidei" .-. . "Of coursei no . tone can ue eitner strong .or pure if the1 lurigs axe cramped, sd that ' the air cannot find room; In order id increase' the size 6f the lun g-esvityj raise' the chest and keep the body well and strongly poised. "So much harm has been done to TOiceS by allowing the month to be come the regular air-passage that the need of care, cannot be too frequently emphasized. Besides the injury done by the un warmed sir entering the luflgs the mueoas membrane is hard ened by thd salifi being dried op, and the muscles of the1 tdriguUi Ind throat grow stiff and less responsive. It is comparatively easy to control one's breathing when awake, but when asleep the harm goes on.' To remody this involves a slight discomfort, but one can endure it patiently, looking to the end. Cut court-lastef into little strips about one-fourth of ad inch in width, and paste several across the lips, placing them up and down, with the lips held naturally. If one is tempted to give tip rather than endure the discomfort this method involves, a wais through an ordinary day-coach, or a night made hideous by the pres ence of a snorer in a near berth, will cause a solemn vow to be taken never to do likewise." The Newest Gapes. ' , ' The new capes and cloaks which are it worn wiin oiotn costumes . are very graceful, and now that the novelty of the style has worn off, seem very at tractive They fit closely over the shoulders, are composed of no more material than is necessary, are circu lar in shape at the back, and in fron are rounded up to the throat. " They are trimmed with a ruffle of the same material as the cloak, and are lined throughout with heavy satin of an en tirely different shade, and are trimmed on the outside with rows of machine stitching of a lighter shade in silk. Some of these capes have no less than four clusters of stitching, three rows in each cluster. There is always a high flaring collar faced with silk or satin the same color as the cloak. There is an interlining of wool wadding or of heavy felt that gives sufficient warmth, and the only fastening of the cloak is just at the throat, where there is a handsome buckle. This cloak is black, dark purple, or.in a dark green lined with blue, is particulaily good. The old-fashioned circular cloak lined with fur has returned to fashion and is constantly-seen, both for morning and afternoon wear. It is not made of silk as formerly, but Of a lightweight cloth of some- attractive coloring in red, purple, green, or tan. The smartest way is to have the cloak match the street gown even when it is lined with fur. Harper's Bazar. A New Pompadour Comb. . There is a new pbmpadour comb which is not recognized as such at first sight. It has only a few teeth, and the tops of these teeth are deco rated with an ornamental piece, which stands up perpendicularly from the teeth themselves, while the fancy edges are decorated with delicate gold trac eries or set with jewels. As they are so narrow many persons have taken them for combs for the back hair, but have found them very unsatisfactory, as the jeweled part of the top does not show when the hair is put up and the comb arranged with the teeth stuck in. It took a man, strange to say, to find out how these new oombs should be used to show the jewels. He took out the comb and put it where the gems were in the best position to show as a orown pattern, across the top of the head, and the woman who had been trying to arrange the comb in her back hair at once understood that it was a front comb, a pompadour comb. The Sllli Petticoat JTredomlnatei. For a while it seemed as if the pres tige of the white petticoat was estab lished, and women do still wear them a great deal indoors, but the silken beauties are more predominant than ever before. The preference seems to be for the most glaring primary colors in the etiffest taffeta, made up perfect ly straight, scant skirts, and the rigid ity further increased by a wide, deep ly accord eon-plaited foot flounce. Short comfort skirts, as they are called, for wear under a silk petticoat in the cold weather, are the prettiest little kirties that don't come down as far as the knee and are not more than a yard wide. They are wool, and many are knitted by hand of a Scotch yarn, with a bright silk thread worked in at in tervals. They are scalloped about the bot' om, completed. with a narrow silk fringe, and are hung on silk yokes that fit the hips 6nugly. Fad and Fashion. Black crepons in pronounced blis tered effects are especially favored for separate skirts. Plaid back cheviots are one of the novelties of the season, the face being in solid colors or iu a modest melange. French cheviot, satin cloth, tricot. meltoivette. drap d'ete and peau de soie will all be used in making coat basques for general wear in the early spring. For evening toilets are sold yards of ruching made of crumpled chiffon. mousseline de poie, or net, bordered with cheni le dots, baby ribbon in satin or velvet, or lines of colored silk Iock- stitching. Jetted nets, tulles, chiffons and gauzes, forming entire draperies over silk or satin, or used for fancy waists. sleeves, tunics, guimpes, and shghtlj drooping vest fronts, are as fashion able this season as ever. Sleeves seemtobe still diminishing. 0 Some of the new models are so closo as to suggest the style of ten or twelvo years ago. But they have a certain fulness at the top, which is interlined with canvas of light weight to a depth of three inches. ' Among fancy weaves chenille effects have developed marked popularity. The extreme weaves are in chenillo dots of the same color as the ground tone of the material it is given to en rich. Chenille, however, is more com monly seen in traverse weaves on ma terials with black or, colored grounds. In silks, chenille dots, on taffeta Grounds are the extreme novelty.

When dried, it retains its vitality four days, which shows that dust may be one mode of spreading infection. By in culating a horse Dr. ""fersin obtained a serum with which he succeeded in saving twenty-five out of twenty-eight patients. Hyenas, jackals, ichneu mous, and Indian apes have been found susceptible to the plague. But the animals which it favors naturally are the wild rats and mice in the Himala yas. High water, earthquakes, oX drought drive them in human habita tions, whereby epidemics are started. Ants and other insects that eat the carcasses of rats often convey the poison to human beings, v uitures are absolutely immune, t .. Miners are well aware that in deep mining heat generated by oxidation is often a factor in determining action, though not always a -permanently de terring one. It appears that at Sand hurst, Victoria, the fact was noticed several years ago that while, as ordin arily, the temperature increased as depth was attained the'depth was really not a regular factor in the increase. By suitable investigation it was ascer tained that a fall temperature of five degrees occurred after the ground had been opened up for one year, ' and it was assumed that this was due to the natural loss of heat in consequence of the decrease in .'oxidation. Then It was found, as an interesting and sug gestive fact, that aiter the ground had been opened up for four years the tem perature , became nearly permanent. The reefs and sandstones of that region are, however, specially free from sul phurets. An interesting quadruped has re cently been discovered which has the peculiar property of a bullet-proof skin. It was first seen and shot at several years ago in the interior of Santa Cruz, by the late Bamon Lists, who heard of the animal frequently from the Indians. It was described by that naturalist as a pangolin with out scales and covered with reddish hair, but it was found, impossible either to kill or capture a specimen, and by many it was believed that the observer had been deceived. Wow, however, Dr. Florentine Ameghinb has received from South Patagonia some bony os sicles and a partly destroyed skin which bear out completely Lista's ob servations. The ossicles in question were imbedded in the skin like paving-stones, the skin being slightly less than an inch in thickness and so tough as only to be broken with a hatchet. Its surface was covered witn coarse hair, about two inches in length- and of a reddish gray shade. Lists, who was the only civilized man to ever see this animal alive, unfortunately lost his life while exploring Pilcomayo, but on account of his discovery the animal has been named Neomylodon listai after him. It is a survivor ot the old ground sloths, and as it wan ders about in thq night and on very rare occasions it will doubtless be a long time before a perfect specimen is captured. An EipeniWe Fast. Speakinr of Sarah Bernhardt, they tell this of her in London, where she was last spring. The great one dropped into a book seller's shop one morning. "1 sola ner quite a pue oi books," said the proprietor, "and showed her every attention, and she seemed pleased. As he was going out she took hold of my pencil and asked me something in French, which I did not understand. Seeing that 1 failed to catch her meaning, she looked about on the counters, then, quick as a flash, she took up a volume of one of the very best sets of Scott, bound in tree calf, opened it at the very centre, wrote something quickly, calmly tore out the leaf, handed it to me,-smiled and went out." The astounded bookseller looked at the-leaf and discovered that Sarah had written a pass for two to her per formance that evening! Magnificent, but it was not a cheap entertainment for the bookseller. Pittsburg Bis-. patch. He Wanted It Tested. A Scotchman went to London for a holiday.
