The service is over and the body carried to the rude grave, which had been previously dug with sticks, as sticks and mens hands are the crowbars and shovels of the majority of the natives, mats are spread m the bottom of the grave, fhe belongings of the deceased, such as mats, etc., upon which be laid before death, arp buried yvith the body. 1 have also noticed them place a small bottle of coooanut oil to be buried along with the other things.

Men who hold no authority are called "tagatamin, or common ipeq, The chiefs are highest in authority, and their decisions are regarded as law, and respected as knoh by fhe people of the respective village of the chjesf as welt as the peoplo of the districts under their jurisdiction, Before the American or German governments were established in Samoa there was one king, who held i very powerful influence over the people. They respected their king as the Britains respect their king, or as the Americans respeGt their President. The talking men arq the counsel men or lawyers of Samoa, they are always present at the council oi chiefs, each chief has his talking man, who talk for him and presents his desires and ideas to the council; they also converse and argue their point syith the subtility and discretion of an educated lawyer, and everything is quite c.
