Sheridan Powers, of Wappello, Mo.,
recently witnessed a novel and exciting
•battle between two large turtles. He
was out shooting in the St. Francis
Iliver bottom when the strange noise
drew him to the river bunk. He watched
the battle until the larger turtle had
routed its antagonist and then brought
down the victor with his fowling piece.
The turtle was taken to tow n and found
to weigh 120 pounds.

and go to his grave in a paper coffin.
The coffin may be paid for with a piece
of paper and the death published on

A Mr. John G. White, of New York
city, has in his possession, a knife, which
he claims was once the property of Bona
pai'le, and wns lost during flic disastrous
retreat from Kussia in 1812. This knife
weighs nearly a pound, and contains four
blades and nineteen other implements,
such as it button-hook, saw, gimlet or pair
of scissors. The bundles of this knife
are pearl with the royal arms in gold,
surmounted by the largo capital N.
Colonel .1. C. Andrews is known as
“the Diamond King’’ of San Francisco,
and his store as “Diamond Palace.’'
There arc a number of diamonds set in
the ceiling and the walls of the store,
and the diamond decorations of the es
tablishment are worth a fortune. Ho
recently appeared in public wearing on
his scarf n pigeon blood ruby surrounded
with diamonds. On his left linger
sparkled a huge solitaire blue diamond.
From his watch chain dangled a Masonic
mark, studded with large diamonds,
and on the left side of his vest, just
peeping out from under the lapel of his
coat, was a massive gold medal, with a
fringe of diamonds running all around
it.
London l.ij'e says that “a cutter of
ninety rating will be designed by Fife,
Jr., to compete next year for the Ameri
ca’s cup. Robert Duncan, of the Mar
jorie, will sail her. The crew will prob
ably consist, to a man, of the Marjorie s
last year's crack hands; so. unlike the
Thistle, no complaint on the score of in
different handling will be heard. The
siunc designer will also build u smaller
cutter, of the rating of forty, for the
same purpose. She will be owned by Mr. i
Sweet, whose success with the Scotch
twenty-ton, Clara (also one of Fife's de- 1
sign), in America last season, under Cap
tain Barr, now of the Thistle, guaranties
that the vessel will be a worthy competi
tor. Barr will have charge of the
yacht.”
The .Imrco'ioi C iltie 'tor says, warn
ingly: ’’Prudent men will hesitate lie
ore buying land in Southern California
it present inflated price.-. The great
land craze there already shows signs of
mhsiding. Land is now changing hands,
with only teu percent, of the purchase
money paid down, and balance on long
erms of credit. 'This indicates that buy- I
•rs arc not anxious to invest, and holders ,
willing to sell on any terms. The col
apse draws mar. When orangs lands
sell at s>o(* to SI,OOO per acre, and wheat i
lands, tit for nothing but grain, sell at 1
$l5O to S2OO per Here. aid raisin lands
change owners at $250 to S4OO, it is
high time for bona tide purchasers to
look elsewhere and get better value for
their money. Even the Californians are
willing to admit they never expected to
see farming and orchard latids sell at
auch fabulous prices.
THE SAMOAN ISLANDERS.
PECULIAR FACTS ABOUT TUB KA
NAKAS OF THE SOUTH SEA.
I
' Clothing and Tattooing lied Hair
l-'ashloualilc How "Ara,''t he Na
tional Beverage, la Made.
The inhabitants of the Hamoan Islands, ,
usually called Kanakas, are very intelli- ,
gent people, and by far the best look
ing of any of the bouth Sea Islanders.
The men, says Gus C. Heeder, in the
New York World, average about 5 feet
10 incites in height, are erect and proud
in bearing, and have straight and well- ,
rounded limb*. The man all wear a (
clout, or short cloth, around their waists, I
I which does not extend any farther in ;
| length than down to the knees; this
‘ clout, in most cases is manufactured from 1
’ the bark of cocoanut trees, and called i
i “Lnhpahlahpah," but since calico and -
other light linen materials have been
introduced many of the men prefer to I
wear those, but always choose among I
the most picturesque colors. Tattooing i
is one of the Samoan’s greatest prides, j
' and every man is ornamented in a most |
■ i artistic style, and furnished by his
parent , with a pair of tattooed knee-|
. i breeches. Many of the men wear cur
' rings. The color of the Samoans is of
an olive yellow brown. The nose is usu
ally straight, and not flattened like that
of the Malay, and the mouth is large,
with thick lips. The hair is black ami
straight. Among the men it is consid
| cred a great honor to have red liar, and
i the redder a person's hair the more influ
ence he can command. But as nature
| has furnished the inhabitants of Samoa
! with jet black hair the natives have to
j look for some other source in order to
be enabled to wear their choicest red.
Upon my first visit to Apia, the capi
tal of the Samoan Islands, in 1878, I was
surprised to sic so many men walking
about with what 1 nt first believed to be
snow-white hair, but upon closer exam
ination I learned that, the natives apply a
whitish clay similar to our whitewash to
their hair. This tiicy use instead of
pomade or hair oil and apply it in a
thick mass until the hair becomes thor
oughly hardened ami white. The men
continue this process of bleaching their
hair until it loses its former black color,
and with time turns to a brownish red.
A rather peculiar taste, but they f. el proud
of their success in coloring their hair.
Quite often women go through the same
performance, but they arc compelled to
wear theii hair short, ns long hair cannot
so easily be discolored. Natives of
Hamon, as a rule, regard work as some
thing unnecessary, and all the work
done on the plantations owned by Euro
pean* is performed by Kanakas imported
from other islands.
The Samoans are very friendly, and in
passing always greet a stranger with a
hearty “Kallofi’ah,” which, translated
into our language, means “Good day,”
You stop to speak to one of these chaps,
and after having concluded your con
versation he will never forget upon de
parting to hail you with a “Kolfah” of
good-by.”
The mode of living of Samoans is very
simple, and days pass sometimes without
u Samoan partaking of any hot food,
t'oeoauuts, bananas, pineapples, yam,
and more particularly th4T bread fruit,
once in a while some fish and a piece of
hog, especially when it happens to be
one of your white neighbor’s hogs, con
clude the simple bill of fare. One of
the greatest beverages among the Samo
ans is “ava.” The ava which grows in
dusters from six to ten feet in height, is
a species of pepper. From its dried root
is made an intoxicating beverage which
when taken in s itnll does is a delightful
soporific. To drink ava is all very well
if you do not see how it is mnnfacturcd.
But if you w itness the process, as I did
on one occasion, when I first sampled
this native drink, I feel assured that
your taste for aaa will be somewhat
changed. While taking n stroll over
Samoa one line afternoon I came across a
large number of Apians, men and women,
who were sitting on the ground around
one of the native huts, apparently en
gaged in some very interestirg work.
Having lost my way and being anxious
to see all thore was to be seen, I ap
proached the crowd, greeted my friends
w ith a “Kalloffah,” and, with all the
Samoan at my command, explained my
eirand. The natives treated me very
kindly, and nt once invited me to take a
seat in their family circle, offering me I
the best place between two charming
young girls. 1 noticed that all the women
and young girls were engaged inchew ing
at u root, while on their laps rested small
cocoanut bowls, which 1 took to be spit
| toons, as they allowed the juice of the
I roots to drop into the bowels. In the
; centre of the circle-toed a larger bowl,
nud whenever one of the women had
chewed enough on the root she would
empty the content'of her bowl into the
larger one. I watched the-c proceedings
with great and could not
imagine to what end these women ever- ;
1 vised their jaws on those gray roots. I
After the bowl in the centre had been
' about half tilled with this brownish fluid,
i some limes and oranges were produced
I amt mixed with the u-t. ami the milk of
a number of c c.'limits added to the
whole, completed the Samoans' famous
| drink called “ava." To see its manti
! lure was hard enough, but now came the
hardest part. 1 was supposed to drink
this stull. 1 was ut a loss what to do. I
knew that if I refused to partake I would
’ be insulting my host. I tried to make
believe that 1 was not thiisty. but this
| did not seem to work at all", and to my
great horror I was offered the first drink
i utter ihe mixture had been pronounced i
by the oldest chief pre enttobeidl right.
i My fair neighbor to the light offered me ,
quite a large bowl tilled to the I rim w ith ;
ava, and I lisd to partake. I took a sip ;
and tried to tefum the balance because I i
did not like its peppery taste, but it. was i
no go. 1 had to finish. It was all that
my life was worth. I managed to get i
through as best 1 could, and washed
the whole down with some cocoanut
milk. I afterward learned that had I
refused to drink with my Samoan friends ,
1 ceitainly would have been compelled !
to quit their presence in disgrace.
Infinite toil would not enable you to
eweep away a mist, but by ascending a
little you may often look over it alto
gether. So it is with our moral improve
ment. We wrestle fiercely with a vicious
habit, which could have 'no hold upon
us it' we a’cendeil into a higher ntnio
sphere, i

Certain Chicken Cholera Core.
Eight years of careful experiment and pains
taking research have resulted in the discovery |
of an infallible specific for the euro find pre
vention of that most fatal and dreaded enemy
of the feathered tribe Cholera. After the
fullest and fairest tests possible, in which every
claim for the remedy was fully eur-stantmtea,
the remedy was placed upon the market, and
everywhere a single trial has been all that was
|£*(iuired to prove it a complete success. Ihe
Erections for its use are plain and simple, and
the cost of the remedy so small that the saving
of a single fowl will repay the expense. Its
effect is almost magical. If the remedy is
given as directed, the course ot the disease is
stopped at once. Given occasionally as a pre
icnuve, there need be no fear ot Cholera,
which annually kills more fowls than all other j
diseases combined. It is true to name, a Cer
tain Cure for Chicken Cholera. poultry
raiser or farmer can afford to be without it. I t
will do all that is claimed for it. Read the fol
lowing testimonial :
STATE OF GEORGIA,
Department of Agriculture,
Atlanta, Ga., March 19, 1887
To the Public: The high character of the
testimonials produced by Mr. Dodge, together
with his well known reputation for truth and
veracity, afford convincing evidence of the
high value of the Chicken Cholera (hire he is
now offering upon the market. Il l were Mb
gaged in the business, I would procure a bot
tle of his medicine, little doubting the success
that would attend its administration.
Yours truly,
J. T. HENDERSON,
