It la former awiiuiptlo of atwolute propria ty and curwinw to admit that bug tfing has tfQ permitted to be interpo lated in these seductive round dances. But It Is brave and right Id the dancing masters to decree, since they have made the discovery, that bagging does exist tn the saltations of people who trip the light fantastic toe, and that it must go. They are setting rigorously to work. j they say, to make dancers assume cor- I reel auituues wnue muui ing m tee waltz, the two-step and other popular movements. It Is meet and proper, right ami just, as well as elevating, that hugging should be banished from round dancing. But how It ' giving to be done without rendering round dancing obsolete Is one of those problems that an experienced observer of human be ings and their peculiar fada finds it difficult to figure out The bicycle has becoa; so common an article of manufacture and use in the United States that It is difficult to conceive what sort of a country it Is that does not wake it It is tot surpris ing that China manufactures no bicy cles; that country is not e.pected to keep up with the times. But one I hardly prepared for the statement that no bicycle are manufactured !a the re public of Mexico, a nation bordering on the United State, and one that exhibits many evidences of progress, industrial and otherwise. The United Status sup plies Mexico with its bicycles, the com ponent parts being purchased in this country and assembled in Mexico. The demand for the machine has shown a steady increase. The republic offers a profitable field for investment in a bi cycle manufactory, Inasmuch as a great deal of the raw material is to lie secur ed there at first hand. Including rubbor in large quantities. A crusade against consumption has been inaugurated by physicians throughout the world, the object of which Is to diminish the ravages of tu berculosis by preaching and practicing the doctrine of pure air. The "plan of campaign" varies somewhat in differ ent place, but in general it concerns It self with the treatment of the disease in sanatoria chiefly by means of an abundance of fresh air. The leaders do not lose sight of the fact that preven tion is to be prized above cure, and their crusade contemplates a propagan da In the press and by public lecture against dirt and foul air In the homes. As one writer says, "Any one when in a low state of bwiltb may become con sumptive, but what keeps the malady alive among us is poverty and distress, dirt and overcrowding, darkness and lack of air. The cure of consumption may be attained by fresh air in the open, but its prevention is pure air in the house." The death of Ma'letoa Lacupepa, king of SasnoSf will probably result in a partition of the group among the United States, Great Britain and Ger many. King Malletoa succeeded to the throne in 1S80, but was deposed by the Germans on account of alleged rob beries and Insult In 1887. ami Tamat ese was made king, Then followed the insurrection hs aded by Mataafa. Seven moo'.bs later the Germans declared war against Mataafa and It was only after a spirited controversy thai Prince B's marek in deference to American claims, ordered a cessation of hostilities. A conference on Samoa n affairs was held in Berlin in June, 1K8& in which Eng land, the United States and Germany were represented. As a result Malletoa was recognized as king and the islands were declared neutral territory in which all the three powers had equal rights. Difficulties with Mataafa fol lowed and finally be was transported to Kakaofo Island. The affairs of Sa moa have been in an unsatisfactory shape for a long time, but the late king was allowed to remain In power, a fact with which the friendship of Robert Louis Stevenson, the novelist probably had much to do. The govern ment of the United States originally proposed a division of the group be tween the three powers concerned and as this country had no further ambi tions in the group than that of retain ing a coaling and naval station, the di vision would probably have been effected but for fcbe opposition of Ger many. It is likely the United States would be satisfied with the acquisition of the Island of Tutulla, on which it now holds the coaling station of Pago Pago, leaving to Germany Upolu, the second largest island of the group, con talniI)g Apia, the capital, while Great Britain, under this arrangement, would receive Ssvll, the largest Island, but the second In importance.

N Old Unc' Uatu Petti bone's 0"ije, a very mod est lit tle four-room es itbIihmi'Dt, great preparations were being made for the Thanksgiving fes tivities which the next day was ex pected to usher in. The morning came siid Aunt Patty took the opossum which Unc" Ras bsd caught nd placed bim In broad pan and put him in the oven. After the oposum had baked for a while she opened the oven and put in the pan a lot of sweet potatoes which had previously been boiled and split and let them brown in the 'possum fat. .When the animal was done brown the family and their friends gathered around the festal board and the middle-sired girls and the big girls, the old folks and the young folks pitched into the dish and made ! morrr r.por th arrival frrtm the South. After the dinner they had some music, and wound op with a dance. When the dance was ended the visitors, to the num ber of seven or eight, left with a chorus of good-bys and jokes and the family were left by themselves. "Put on some coal on dat fiah, you Bona paht." said Unc' Hast us. "My law, dat 'possum remine me of ole Abkanaaw, yat sah, it shoiy do." "Tea us "bout it, pa," said Ca'line, and the other children clamored for the story.
