And now what is the character oi this
lead which, after so many abortive at-
«W, has at last come to the birth of
Inflation! Along the want at a consid-
erable part of it missionaries have been
established for some sevenwen years
now. There are three English mission-
aries and many Polynesian converts who
act as teachers and preachers. And,
whatever opinion may be held of the work
of missionaries in general, there are no
two opinions held by those who know the
place about the good that has been done
by these New Guinea men.
’l’hcir aim no. not been to add a num-
ber of baptisrns to their record, as savages
hang acalps to their girdle for an c‘videntw
of their success; nor have they measured
the Christianity of their converts by the
unount of clothing which they wear. lint
they have instilled coutldeuce in the good-
ness oi human natnrd where there was
none heiore; they have taught the ad-
vantages of peace and, industry where be-
fore there was only unceasing bloodshed
and warinre.
Thus a tolerably accurate knowledge
has been gained oi the habits of such of
the natives as inhabit the southern coast
line. But of the many thousands who
live in the interior very little has been dis~
covered.
Among such of the nativesns have been
visited, one of the most peculiar charac-
teristics is the inaccessi.de position in
which they frequently place their houses.
This, no doubt, is the direct outcome at
the state oi constant intertribal warfare,
in which they have so long «slated, and
which even now is not altogether stamped
out. Some of their houses are built in
high trees up on the narrowest and most
inaccessible ridges of the mountains. To
these bamboo ladders are the only means
of approach, and vines are often cultiv
vated to run up the. ladders to give them
strength and make the ascent and descent.
easier. U! her tribes—and there arc many
of those living alongthe oust—build their
villages sortie distance out at sea, on piles
oi mangrove wood, atnuding eight or ten
feet out oi the water. There are villages
oi this kind built altogether away from
the shore. in the shallow waters of the
southern coast, containing as many as
4th) or 500 people and perhaps forty or
filly houses.
.It is commonly said, and no doubt is
often the case. that savages eat their van-

the bark oi trees, mod canoes or service—
Iblo lmws and arrows.
The sag: industry, especially, is a valu-
able one. on much food can be produced
with so little labor. and the tree grows
well and abundantly in New Guinea. The
method of obtaining the sago is to cut
down the tree and resume a slice of bark
from the upper surface oi the ielled trunk.
_'l'he inner wood of the tree, which is
throughout a kind of plth, is then pounded
down with rough instruments made for
the WW into the trough formed by the
firm outer bark of the tree.
As this pith is pounded down it is taken
out in vessels formed of the sheathing
leaves of the tango palm and carried to anv
other trough near by, formed, like the
first, of the bark of another lingo palm.
Here it is pureed through a rough sieve,
formed again of libero from the saga palm,
into water, where the starchy part dis-
solves and settle» in the bottom as a sediv
meat. This sediment. tough not the
granulated saga oi ammo, is the form
in which the natives at the loud, and it
makes excellent cakes or mush.

New Kind of Luncheons.
A very gorgeous novelty in sooiety is
called the "Rainbow Luncheon." Two
o'clock is the hour that has been ilxed
upon us most suitable, though oddly
enough an accompaniment of the event is
a gas lighted lunch room, with the jets
shaded by globes oi various tints, curtains
of silk being employed to shut out the oi»
tmsive daylight. At one oi these rainbow
parties a group of mandolin players, hall
concealed by tall flowering plants, gave an
Oriental touch to the entertainment. Over
the oricl window was titted a rainbow arch
four feet long and composed oi roses oi
seven diilercnt shades.
'l' rerc wore three tables, and at each
pin e was a hand painted menu card with
the guest’s name and a miniature rainbow
on the back. The first table was all in
yellow. with glittering cut glass and silver
docoratcd in a remnant: of Mnrguerites.
The brass candelabra in the. center rested
in a flat basket oi yellow wax tapers and
yellow shades. The fringed doylies were
embroidered in gold threads and _thc
damask napkins in yellow roses. The
chitin forthcteucourses was all in yel-
low. but diilerent in design ior each
course. The second table was decked in
red, with napkins embroidered in red
roses, and the bisque candelabra set on a
base of jacqueminot and lighted by red
tapers shaded by red globes. 'l'hc china
ior each course was also oi shaded red.
The third table had blue appointments.
The unpcry was worked in blue forget me
riots, and the tapers and shades were blue,
with a ilut basket of white roses The
blue points came on in cut glass dishes,
and there were rainbow ices in miniature
pyramids, and punch glasses filled with
ices of various colors.-l.onisvilie ('nn-

Fighting with Bare Knuckles.
You will hear a number of so called
lighters nowtulays talking of their ability
to tight with bare knuckles, but the truth
is that but few lighters have the courage
to tight with the raw ’uus. it requires
great pluck to face a determined fighter
and look at the hard, uncovered knuckles
playing carefully in front of you, and
ready at the owner's will to be driven into
your face or stomach. Thus men who
will light with the greatest determination
with even as small as two ounce gloves,
will quail when brought face to lace with
a pair of uncovered lists. No amount oi
coaching or training will cure them,
either. The fear of a bare ilst seems
innate with some men and they can never
conquer this fear, although their luck
has never been questioned when on aged
inn glove contest, no matter how wicked.
This peculiarity is noticeable mostly
among the Germans, who have a holy
horror of being hit with a naked list.
There have been plucky Germans, who
have fought like tigers with glows, but
put them up with nothing on their hands
and they are too nervous to do themselves
justice.——(ilobe-Dernocnt Interview.

caressing titles. And so the little woman,
tiredu she was, found herself rested in
the iullness oi the abounding Womanly

that she adored Mexican wtpen.

In restoring diseased or wasted tissue is
