MAORI HOSPITALITY
Strenuous Welcome Extended to a
Party of Traveler
A traveler In New Zealand tells of a
native welcome Ills party drew near
to the central home v the tribe of
Maoris As we rested beneath the
parapets we were startled by a horri
ble yell and round the corner of the
stockade appeared a ferocious figure
tattooed red painted befeathered and
naked except for a very brief waist
fringe of dangling palm liber His
eyes rolled till the whites only were
seen then he thrust out a long and
snaky tongue and grimaced fearfully
Shaking a wooden spear In his hand
he swiftly cast it at us then turned
and rushed toward the village Just
as the spearsman turned one of our
young men who had rapidly divested
himself of all but his waist shawl
darted out in pursuit and we followed
at a more dignified pace The entrance
to the village was barred by a body of
armed men crouching still as death
on one knee each holding a gun butt
on the ground barrel sloping toward
us We advanced until we were with
in twenty paces of the warriors Then
all at once at a wild cry from a chief
on the right they jumped to their feet
leaped high in the air with their feet
doubled under them like deer and with
one voice literally barked out a thun
dering chorus This way and that our
martial hosts bounded brandishing
their loaded rifles in time to the chant
Halting abruptly with an tiarth shak
ing thud they fired a volley of ball
cartridge over our heads
Another volley reverberated from
hill to hill and the bullets whistled over
us Then the brown Avarriors fell back
and a gayly dressed band of women
with green leaves wreathed about their
brows and waving shawls and leafy
boughs advanced with a gliding semi
dance and chanted their ancient wel
come song When the womens song
ceased out to the front danced six girls
a group of vividly barbaric yet not
inharmonious color appareled in loose
crimson roundabouts and short gowns
of gorgeously flowered print their
brows bound about with red handker
chiefs which held in place the black
and white plumes of the rare hula bird
and the iridescent feathers of the long
tailed cuckoo their cheeks dabbed with
red ocher paint greenstone pendants
and sharks teeth hanging from their
ears
These barefooted nymphs hands on
hips and heads thrown back glided
into the measure of a dance to the
music of a shrill monody chanted by
a white haired tattooed old lady Then
all at once the chant ended on an un
expected high note and the performers
stopped breathless and glowing all
over with their self evolved emotions
Broad flax mats were spread out for
us on the green and after speeches of
greeting we were regaled with pork
preserved birds wild honey and pota
toes in quantity sufficient to havosat
isfied a starving garrison Chicago

Billiards at Sea
Can you imagine playing billiards
in a heavy gale said the captain
Do you wonder that our great liners
with their elevators and telephones
and gymnasium dont have billiard
tables as well One ship once had a
billiard table the Great Eastern The
wonderful Great Eastern had a billiard
table on a swinging deck This deck
was supposed to counteract the ships
motion and to keep the table steady
but it failed to do so and very re
markable were some of the shots made
on the Great Easterns table in rough
weather Nevertheless the table was
kept for years and was a popular insti
tution aboard the big boat but no oth
er boat before or since has ever both
ered to introduce billiards
Singular and Plural
It is a question of taste and fancy
whether one should make two bites of
a cherry but we all really make two
bites of the word cherry when we
use it in the singular The original
English version of cerise was cher
is or chiris -which was mistaken
for a plural so that cheri or chirl
was soon manufactured as a singular
Exactly so has pea come into being
as a false singular obtained from the
supposed plural and true singular
pease Sherry for sherris is an
other case and shay from chaise
Chinee from Chinese and corp
from corpse are others in vulgar
speech Similarly riches is really a
Bingular of which richnesses was the
old plural London Graphic

NAPOLEONS ACCOUNT ROOK
Some Entries Made During 111m EI2o
at St Helena
There was recently sold In London
the last book of accounts of Napoleon
at St Helena from ISIS to 1S21 Tho
expenses are classified by month and
were kept by Pierron the ex emperora
maitre dhotel with entries by Mont
holon
There are many corrections In pencil
by the august exile himself for he
verified all the accounts and changed
English money where it was used into
francs Some of the entries are highly
Interesting Thus on Aug IS 1819
the fete of the emperor here is one by
Montholon Artificial flowers 3 Ex
traordinary expenses 1 Cs
Napoleons resources at St Helena
were very modest but his tradesmen
as regarded their prices never forgot
that he was an emperor though an
exiled one Among other occupations
to while away the time that hung so
heavily on his hands Napoleon went
In for gardening and among the en
tries are found Four watering cans
1 8s 2 pairs of pruners 3 2 axes
4 10s prices which look as if the
exile was simply regarded as a subject
for fleecing For mending the emper
ors bed 2 is charged
Toward the end of his life Napoleons
nourishment consisted almost entirely
of chickens pigeons and eggs and
there are numerous entries for medi
cines In March 1821 for instance
thirty bottles of sirup one case of
prunes two cases of Burgundy plums
in April ten bottles of sirup eight doz

BAD CROP YEARS
When Birds and Animals Do Not
Mate at tlie Matins Season
When birds and animals do not
mate at the mating season it is a sign
that a bad year is coming said a farm
er
Quails gophers rabbits and squir
rels all refuse to mate in certain
years These years afterward turn
out to be bad ones The quails are
particularly weather wise By instinct
the little wild creatures know that foi
lack of rain or for some other reason
there is to be a grass famine and a
seed famine and instead of pairing off
and mating and setting up housekeep
ing in little families of two they re
main miniated in the large bands in
which they have flown all winter liv
ing as it were a kind of apartment
house life That year inevitably turns
out a bad one though the bachelor and
spinster quails with a good deu of
picking and scratching manage to get
enough to eat But to feed families of
little ones in such a famine year would
be impossible
In California the squirrels in a fam
ine year not only do not mate they do
not even live They become dormant
As by a miracle they remain dormant
until a season of plenty comes with
the next winters rains Exchange
For Her Welfare
Mrs Goodheart had made up her
mind that most of the so called charity
of the present day -was not strictly
speaking charity at all Whoever gave
she had concluded did so for the pleas
ant sensation of seeing his or her
name figure on subscription lists and
she did not agree with this ostentation
Here my good man she said ono
day last week to a man who had beg
ged alms of her here is a threepenny
piece and please to understand that I
do not give this because I hope to be
rewarded for my charity some day
but because it gives me pleasure to
do so

An old letter is said to be in exist

was dangerous to speak of reigns at

I write under the republic of a
