I Ira! Advantages and ProdI ucts of this Group. Itle Disposition and Graceful ' Forms of the Natives. here are eight of the Samoan Islands, || volcanic m origin, and situated about meteen hundred miles southeast of the liwaiian group. They are in the direct |e of the American steamers running 1m San Francisco to Auckland, New liland, and Sydney, and they possess Risual natural advantages, which arc Bfe valuable txTff^- United States than > any other country. vBy treaty this luntry possesses the harlx-r of Pagoago, the most beautiful, the large^l id safest harbor in Polynesia, where le United States Navy Department has >r a number of years had a coaling staon. If either of the two nroiected Ilanals is ever finished, this will undoubtedly be the most important and valuable station in the Pacific, and in time of war protild command nea:ly all of the commerce in that ocean, and would be invaluable to whatever power might posicss it. Of its value and importance Germany is well aware. The Germans ind it profitable to run a line of steam:rs from Syduey to Apia. The climate is moist an'1 tropical; :otton of the finest texture and coffee of he best quality are produced, and sugar:ano grows abundantly when planted. 3opra, the dried kernel of the cocoanut, s the most important product.

Their houses arc simple, and are made of cocci-nut leaves plaited together to form the sides, and roofs thatched with sugar-cane leaves, much in the form of a big beehive. Physically the.Samoans seem to be almost perfect. The men- are large, well proportioned, and handsome specimens of manhood. The women arc gentle in disposition,^ graceful of form and movement, and attractive with" their simple, _ ||| natural manners. They have straight like their persons, cocoa-nut quiet in dispcP h^^"~rr'~ strong love ral^Eor their homes. When, _ howa^^evtr, aroused to fight, they become wild, cruel, and desperate. With foreigners they are kind and generous 1 and hospitable, and those whose fortune it may be to visit their homes cannot * help becoming interested in them. Some ' one in writing of them has said, "Taking the Samoans for all and all, judging from their past and present condition, there is not a people more worthy of consideration and protection, more susceptible of improvement, or more' willing to be taught to take the position amongst the enlightened races that they have so often and so earnestly sought our help to win."?Harper's Weekly. ? Norse Fanning Vicissitudes. As the greater part of the corn and pasture laud in Norway is situated on the hill and mountain sides, its cultivation is necessarily arduous and expensive ;?and for every five years the farmers generally count upon one bad year, sometimes two.

"When they have forests of fishery, they make good their losses from these sources, or they camon more extensive sheep and cattle farming by means of their great mountain pastures than the farm otherwise could support. The Norwegian peasants live frugally, but notwithstanding this, their farms arc generally mortgaged. They cannot compete with the -great corn-producing countries, especially since America has begun to supply the markets of the world with its enormous production of corn and pork. Many are now trying to confine themselves to sheep and cattle t farming only, but the change inovtves much expense, and the character* of th??' people uocs not cusposc inem to cusuy relinquish the labor of tilliug the soilr, it is the noblest?Harper a Magazine. A Human Pincushion. J. Beck, a human pincushion, r gave an exhibition to a large ce in the office of a New York paper. He used two-inch needles,which he passed through his ears, cheeks, tongue, arms and legs. He then filled his breast with the needles. He shoves^ them into the very bone. The most re' markable thing about the performance^ is that little, if any, blood appears after the incisions. Beck is 23 years old and was bom in Newark, N. J. He was formerly a butcher. His father is one of the largest wholesale butchers of New ark. The pincushion was finely attired in dark red costume and light leather slippers. He says that rep utable physicians who have examined him say that he suffers from paralysis of the nerves. He has lost several needles while giving exhibitions, but they have all worked ^ Hjjjte^elves out at different pails of his FOR FARM AND GARDEN. Scab in Sheep. Scab is a very virulently contagious disease, and the scab insects, like house bugs, are able to live in a dormant con-" dition for a long time when deprived of food. Two years is considered the limits of safety from the contagion. "Wherever the sheep have lain or passed, some of the mites or eggs may have dropped, and may be picked up by other sheep. Thorough whitewashing with hot lime wash, with two per cent, of carbolic acid, of every place where sheep may have rubbed, and dipping the new flock in the tobacco dip might prove a sufficient precaution.?New York Times. Cost of Keeping a Horse. The cost of keeping a horse by most persons is mere guess work instead of careful figures. Mr. J. H. Andre, with a view to enlightening the uninitiated,gave recently in liural llomc the following estimates: If one purchases a good horse four years of age for $150, it is a good bargain. A top buggy will cost $125, cutter $25, harness $20, robe $10, blankets $ J, comb and brush $2, whip $2, which amounts figure $337. Now if we take all into consideration, these will last, on an average, ten years. Perhaps the wagon might last longer, but it would need repairing in that time; on the whole, ten years is a long average, as a horse might be worthless in five years. If it costs $337 for ten years, it would be at the rate of $33.70 per year, and the interest on the whole outlay at 6 per cent, would be $20.22. Add to this at least four tons of hay, which has i averaged in the past ten years $12 per ton, $48; one ton of straw for bedding, $7; 90 bushels of oats at 35 cents per bushel,$31.50; shoeing, $5,and it would be a cheap job to care for a horse, wash wagons, etc., for $1 per week, which would briug the price to $52 per year, or the sum total of $197.42 for the year at moderate figures. And yet wc find thousands who keep a horse and have no real business for it, and do not keep a cow, when the cost of keeping a horse will keep two cows, and yet they do not see how they can keep a cow. What Vegetables to Grow. Now is a good time to think over what vegetables to sow and plant the coming year; and having decided, to get from good, reliable seedsmen the seeds likely to be required. If this is left to sowingtime, the chances arc the seeds will be obtained from sonic grocery store, the stock of which is put up for this partic K11CI an inac is 110c soiu rein too many instances, reafter year. Such crops as , ^parsnips, carrots, turnipsjjj ?Hu.weooj'v^_i readily be grown as amongr the field brops, and be subject mainly to the same treatment?that is, everything about them can be so managed as to be done with the horse-cultivator. Besides these crops, there should be a spot of garden ground to grow the summer vegetables,' and such as will want a trifle more care in the way of handweeding and so on. A spot for this need not be very large. An acre of land will be ample and may contain the strawberry patch, "and those of other small fruits, except in very large establishments. Such a garden should have an asparagiu and rhubarb patch also.. Early in the spring, have, first, radishes and lettuce and green onions, one of the very earliest products and much liked by workmen. Young beets are an early vegetable and may be simply the thinning of the regular crop. This is true also of other root crops. Peas and beans, both French and Lima should not be forgot'fen. Early and late cabbage, with a few dozen of cauliflower, are good changes in this line. Germans want to add kohl-rabi, or turnip-rooted cabbage, and when just right they are good eating for anybody. Tomatoes, egg-plants and peppers will require a hot-bed to bring forward. Only a few plants a'c, however, required, and, if not grow n, can be purchased. For celery, a pinch of seed sown in April will give all the :.plants required. A piece of land should be selected, rather sandy if possible, for the melonpatch, a few hills of cucumbers and halfa-dozen of the squash family. These, with a spot still more sacred by itself for the pot-herbs to flavor the soups and other dishes, would make a tolerably good supply for an ordinary farm family.?Prairie Farmer. ^ The Care of Fowls. The raising of fowls is now so com? mon by persons who nre without farm j conveniences or buildings that the henhouse is a necessity and its proper construction and adaptability to the wants of the flock, and especially as an aid to egg production, arc matters deserving of consideration. For amateurs or persons keeping fowls in villages on small plots the best results will be obtained from limited numbers, say from a dozen to 25 hens with one to two males. All the liberty should be allowed that the premises will admit. The central point is the hen house as a roosting, laying and hatching place, with a small inclosed run attached which belongs exclusively to them and Where they can always go when not in the house, but out of this little yard they should be allowed to run for short periods whenever it is practicable. If let out for only an hour just before roosting time, in the house yard or garden, it will always be a benefit to them, and a little watchfulness for a short time will prevent them from doiDg mischief. The dimensions of 8x10 feet will furnish ample room for two dozen fowls if fitted up with properly arranged roosting poles (of which a part should be low for heavy fowls) and a sufficient supply of nest boxes. The building should be jusi high enough for getting around in comfortably, and should face the south and that front should be of glas3 down to within eighteen inches of the floor. Here the nest boxes should be placed, out of the direct sunlight, and should be as secluded as they can well be. In this way the fowls will not only have ample light, but will get the warmth of the sun through the glass the good effects of which will appear in an increased num ber of eggs at a time of the year when they arc the most valuable. An earthern floor is the best, but if it is necessary to keep out rats, make it of concrete. With a hen-house plastered on the inside and with thick walls, the temperature will be such as to induce laying earlier and more liberally than in a cold room subject to draughts through crevices from the outside. A dust bath is one of the hen's necessities, and if the dust-box is in the house the effect on everything is disagreeable. For this reason it should be in a small covered annex to the house, or else should be under cover in a corner of the run, and should be kept well supplied with dry road dust or line sifted ashes. If the house is kept clcnn they "will keep themselves free from vermin, but if lice infest the house it can be quickly cleared of them by fumigating it with sulphur or burning the green leaves of pine, spruce or any of the evergreens, so as to fill the room with a dense smoke for an hour or so. Spraying it occasionally with kerosene will have the same effect. Gravel, ground or broken shells and bones, and miscellaneous food with meat scraps, when insects cannot be had, should be furnished regularly, with a constant supply of pure water.?New York World. Farm and Garden Notes. See that all colonies are in hives that are rain proof; leaky hives cause much of the loss in wintering boes. Where there is one farmer who betters himself by frequently changing location, there arc many who lose by changes. Churn aud cream should be at a temper atureof fifty-six degress to fifty-eight degrees in summer, sixty degrees in winter. A regular system of rotation with live stock on the farm may prove as judicious and commendable as crop rotation. Four different kinds of food are essential to promote health and strength. These are flesh, grain, vegetables and . poor to keep a pig, unless, indeed, it be so shiftless and improvident as to keep instead one or more dogs. Tincture of assafcetida is said to keep rabbits from attacking trees. It may be mixed up with clay and water and applied with a brush. An ingenious farmer ana His ooys can put together a variety of simple tools and conveniences for farm use in these comparatively leisure days. All fertilizers should be in as fine condition as possible, for upon the degree of fineness depends to a great extent the solubility of the ingredients. The peach or plum tree, when planted the coming spring, should be put in the poultry yard. It will be partially protected from insects and will grow rapidly. Some foods, like wheat bran, cottonseed meal, etc., return a value in manure nearly equivalc 11 > their cost and arc often among the very best that can be selected for stock. Bees emit a glutinous fluid from their feet to enable them to adhere to a smooth surface; this is what causes the combs to become dark if allowed to remain on the hive long after being sealed. The disposition of swine is to pile up in cold weather, and the warmer we can keep it underneath them the less liable they are to do this, and unless they can be prevented from doing it to a great extent, disease is much more liable to break out among them. A Muscular Locksmith. The renowned "Muskelmann" of Dresden ought to have a placo in Mr. Oscar "Wilde's next excursus upon artists' models. A few years ago a well-known painter persuaded this remarkable man, on account of the magnificently muscular build of his body, to forsake his own trade, that of a locksmith, and take up the profession of "model." His fame has become so great that he is even called into Italy, Belgium, France and Spain to sit to painters and sculptors. In order to preserve for future artists an exact duplicate of his extraordinarily Michael Angelesque figure while he is in the fullness of his powers the director of the Royal Saxon Porzellanfabrik at Meissen lately invited him to that place in order that a cast from life might be taken of the upper part of his body. The muscular development of the Dresden muskelmann is so complete and detailed that even the least and slightest cord of every muscle stands forth prominently "and his whole body looks,'' as one critic says, "as if it were woven to gethcr or plaited like basket work.,, His muscles have such a hardness that they feel to the touch as if they were carved in wood. The director of the Meissen factory paid him a fee of $75 for the casting of his "torso."?Pall W :#? ; v.QUAINT AND CURIOUS. ' * France raises the best prunes.

The Cultivation of Indigo. In addition to their vegetable gardens acid cornfields, the Indians of' Tegucigalpa, Brazil, cultivate and manufacture indigo, which they carry, with other produce, to be sold at the Caribbean ports. Indigo is produced from an Indigenous and triennial plant which the Indians call "Jiquilitc," which flourishes luxuriantly in nearly all kinds of soil. It grows to a height of five or six feet, and produces a long, slender leaf of bluish green. An Indian washerwoman merely mashes a handful of the leaves with the clothes she is washing, and never thinks of using the indigo of commerce when the leaf can be had for almost nothing. The land requires but little preparation being merely burned over and broken when the seed is scattered. This is done in April, and the growth is so rapid that it is cut in August. The product of the first year is small, but in the second year it is enormous. In August the men, women, and children go out into the fields and cut from the plants everything green, carrying thkir bulky loads back to be stacked up near the boilers. The indigo must be cut at the proper time .to secure a good product, and one week's delay reduces it by half, owing to a drying up and decomposition of the sap. The Indian method of reduction or manufacture is very crude. The crop is passed between heavy rollers to grind and mash it; this green pulp is then boiled until tne Diue paste is precipitated, when the water and refuse fibre are poured "ff. This powder, or blue 1 'cake," is put up in bundles of 150 pounds, or "ceroons," and carried down the rivers to the coast. Abous 250 pounds of the plant will produce one pound of pure indigo, so it may be imagined the areas cu'tivatcd must be very large. The fields near the small village were two miles square. After the cutting of the stems and leaves the roots remain without a sprig until February, when they branch outajjain.?Nexo York Timet, } The Women Did It. I On one of the most stormy, disagreeable days of the year, nearly seventeen thousand 'noble, patriotic women of Boston went to the . dlB and voted. This is not the first time the mothers, wives, and daughters of this country have taken up the broom of reform and done suprising work for the interests ol their children and families. Although over twenty thousand Boston women registered, hardly anyone (save the women themselves) believed they would actually vote. This proves that every year new avocations are opening where women demonstrate their ability, as w ell as capability, to transact business for themselves and make money. Women living near a village or large town can make many dollars "pin money" every year raising poultry and eggs. Mrs. James lj. Burgess, Nashua, N. H., says she cleared last year, from only 10 hens, $3G.f>'J for eggs filone. She conld have cared for 160 hens ! easily, and made ten times as much, ?be attributes her success to the use of Sheridan's Condition Powder to make hens lay. There is no doubt that Powder is a great help. The manufacturers have for years offered cash premiums to consumers, and a proof of what we before said of women is the fact that every year, a woman captured one of their larger premiums. This year the first premium is $50 in gold, and we should not bo a bit surprised if some woman got it; if not, she will get a lot of eggs to sell from -using the Powder. Mrs. Mary J. Glenn, of Rustburg, Va., says: ''Before using Sheridan's Powder I was getting from 40 hens, 5 to 7 eggs per week; during eight weeks, while using it, I got from the same hens 882 eggs.!' I. S. Johnson & Co., 22 Custom House St, Boston, Mass., (the only makers of Sheridan's Condition Powder to make hens lay) will send, postpaid, to any person, two 25 cent packs of Powder and a new Poultry Raising Guide, for CO cents.
