Above them was the warm sun, beside them was a babbling brook. It was a quiet, restful, peaceful scene. Boy, mused the first tramp contentedly, right now I wouldnt change places with a guy who owns a million! How about five million? asked his companion. Not even for five million. Well, how about ten million?" The first tramp sat up. Thats Now he admitted. different, youre talking real dough! South Pacific Islander Poling His Canoe. Geographic Society, Prepared by the National C. Washington, D. WNU Service. sovereign of Tonga in the South Pacific is Salote (Charlote), who, from her capital Nukualofa, on Tongatabu island in the southern part of the archipelago, governs the islands under a British protectorate. The currency used is English money. In language and customs, the Tongans are like the Maoris of New Zealand and the Samoans. Being Polynesians, they differ decidedly from the Fijians, who are mostly Melanesians. Tongan society is distinct, iwith hereditary lines of chiefs, and Niuaioo has its own peculiarities of culture. The people are entirely civilized and Christian; they are strictly governed by a high chief, a magistrate, and police service. There are usually seven or eight Europeans at Angaha. Wesleyan churches with native ministers and elders are conspicuous in all the villages. On Sunday, services start before daylight, with crowded congregations singing choral music in parts without any organ. The rhythmic and harmonious blending of the deep bass voices of the men and the soprano of the women is pleasing. The music has a quality quite unlike Hawaiian music, and the Sunday services are fascinating. There is no need for a pipe organ. One evening service in the dimly lamp-li- t church at Angaha consists of a musical competition between the choirs from several villages. The choirs, each usually composed of eight persons, men and girls, rise in turn in their places and sing. When a song is finished a reverent chorus of bravos, or the equivalent in Tongan, goes up from the congregation. The dusky faces in the lamplight, many of them beautiful; the splendid figures of the men draped in spotlessly clean valas, which suggest a Roman toga; the minister exhorting his flock, and elderly patriarchs and matriarchs rising at intervals to make confessions of faith, make the scene one never to be forgotten. How the People Live. The Tongan race is dominantly agricultural, with copra as the leading product. At Niuafoo intervals between shipments of copra are long, for the bad anchorage and landings make visits by even tramp THE A Real Gentleman said mother, you Johnnie, must not make all that noise when you come down the stairs. Go up and come down quietly. Johnnie went up and camj down without making a sound, and his mother was delignled. Now thats how a little gentleman should come down the stairs, she said. Yes, I slid down the banisters that time, mummy, replied Johnnie proudly. ' Ad Lib I would advise you, madam, instructed the doctor, to take frequent baths, get plenty of fresh air and dress in cool clothes. What did the doctor say? inquired the husband an hour later. He said I ought to go to Atlantic City and then to the mountains, related the wife. Also that I must get some new light gowns at once. Wall Street Journal.

Poul-tryma- ily lives in rn elliptical, thatched house, with woven matting for the walls, but these curtains do not lift up as in the Samoan houses. There are doors in the ends and sides. Wealth consists of land, plantations, mats, and tapas. The owner of many and fine mats is respected for his prosperity and thrift. Numerous silver shillings circulate from the traders in return for copra and back to the traders stores for shirts, cloth, and chewing gum. Men and women work hard, subject to the orders of the government, on the roads and cisterns and other structures required for. the progress of the community. Pigs and chickens are abundant, but there are few cattle. Each householder has his truck garden in the hills. To .his he goes, leading an old pack horse, and gathers what is needed of yams, taro roots, sweet potatoes, oranges, breadfruit, or the like. The girls think nothing of trudging miles to wash the family clothing at the lake. All are free, happy, and smiling, and all are fine specimens of muscular humanity, leading a natural life of cultivation of the soil. Like other Polynesians, these people have a fine dignity. Their own customs are regulated by the dictate of a host of ancestral traditions which center about the guilds of the craftsmen, the requirements of the family, and the orders of the chieftainship. Method of Fishing. , The fishermen use canoes of hewn and pegged timbers and also a log device of the light wood of the fau (same as the Hawaiian hau, a species of hibiscus), to which a splinter rod is lashed tightly lengthwise, with one end free for the purpose of stringing fish by the gills. Hooks are made from pieces of bone attached to short shanks of wood. The fishline is a sennit (a braided coconut fiber), fastened to the log. Wearing water spectacles, two ' plain glass windows in wooden cups held by string around the head, the fisherman swims out with his arm across the log, his face plunged beneath the water, so that he may watch fish come to his hook. After a capture, he removes the fish from the hook and strings it on the splinter rod. He then swims away slowly with the floating log. Two or more baits may be operated at the same time; and two fishermen may work from a single log. The fish are small and not abundant, and many of the species found in these seas are said to be inedible. With the canoes laige sharks are occasionally taken. Recently, the Tonga nativer celebrated the completion of the government radio telegraph station. The command went forth that native would be in dances or progress for a day. On the appointed feast day each village was to furnish a certain quota o baskets of food, and in the evening there would be a European dance. During the morning the clans began to gather, young and old, dressed in the costumes of their forefathers, with garlands of shells; beads, beans, and flowers; headdresses of many kinds; and skirts. Some of these last were tapas covered with scarlet berries cemented in place in elaborate designs with native gum; others were very old and fine mesh mats, prized as relics of antiquity. At the appointed hour, the high chief emerged surrounded by functionaries, and seated himself on the veranda of the radio building. Clan after clan came forward, each representing a village, the . headman and warriors flourishing spears for war dances. ' The women and girls formed another line, bringing forward the baskets of food, placing them on the ground in a straight line, and singing and dancing with the stately steps and graceful motions of the arms that told a story of bygone days. Some of the dances are entirely hand and body gestures of girls seated The beating of the drums is one of the characteristic noises of the country. At all hours of the day the sound can be heard by one wandering in the jungle. The beating means something with reference to village timekeeping, or signifies special orders to the people. The islanders guide their lives by the sound of the drum, on the one hand, and the clangor of the church bell on the other.

Some incubators are provided with water pans for providing the needed moisture; others depend upon there being sufficient moisture in the air of the cellar or room where the machine is operated, and this may be increased by keeping the floor beneath wet if need be. It is best to follow the directions given by the makers of the incubator used, as they have done the experimenting and, presumably, know what method is most satisfactory with their particular hatcher. Duck eggs require more moisture than hens eggs and are usually sprinkled with water at room temperature daily during the latter half (14 days) of the hatch. An. incubator for duck eggs may also have a water pan as an additional help in supplying needed moisture. New-Yorke- Poultry Disinfectants ...

Taylor, Associate Extension New Jersey State College. WNU Service. To obtain the greatest efficiency from artificial lights, poultrymen should adopt a definite lighting schedule and adhere to it throughout the lighting period. One of the most common systems of lighting is the morning light. Under this system the lights are turned on at 4 or 5 a. m. and turned off at daylight so that the birds have a day. The reason for the popularity of morning lights for layers is that no system of dimming the lights is required. The time of the year when lights should be started is a very important question. The answer depends upon certain essential facts. The time pullets were hatched, present production of the flock and whether the yearling hens are to be used for breeding are factors that influence the time at which the flock should be given artificial lights. If egg production of the pullets is ' low, the use of lights wiU increase it. It should be remembered that artificial lights are a regulator of production and, therefore, should be used with caution.
