This year’s wool clip in the United States is estimated ut $70,000,000 worth, and the number of sheep at 40,000,000, nn increase of 5,000,000 since lu-t year. 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. The announcement bus been made tha n paper coffin has been invented and put upon tlic market. A man may now build his house of paper, eat his dinner from paper plates, wipe his face with a paper ha tdkerchief, buy his wife a paper piano 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 another piece. There arc few things more useful than paper.— Philadelphii lltcvrd. Helicsof Napoleon I. to the fore again! 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 GENESEO ROAD CART! * First Premium and Gold Medal at j |\ | -T New Orleans Exposition, 1886. o|\lA Si Thousands rode tn it at 4lie World’s Exposition, * I \| ’ 5 /I Now Orleans.>HS4 s,at l.oulsville Exposition,Kf„ ® I W 1 / IHHS, and pronounced it the best in the world; u 1 K \f I also at the Minneapolis Industrial Exposition, * I X i **B6, and received the highest honors. £ -<i \ i Th' B Cart rides as easy aS any Buggy, and is & offUlß \ positively free from Horse Motion.

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.
