Rev. Dr. G. L. Mackay lectured on
Formosa et the Canadian Institute,
Toronto, on Saturday week. He said
the islands were undoubtedly of vol-
canic origin. The aboriginies are of
Malay stock. Women tattoo the whole
of their cheeks, whilst the men, have
tattoo marks on their foreheads, chins
and breasts. They all have the hair
growing long and straight and hanging
down the back. Boys, when about
ten years of age, have four teeth in
--'the upper jaw—two on each side of the
cuspids—knocked out. They , are all
head-hunters, and spend three days
dancing round the bloody head of n
alien foe. They subsist chiefly on
game, such as bear flesh, tnonkeys,
wild hoar, etc., mountain Tice, taro and
wild fruits. Their villages are mostly.

that they can ob,erve any encroach-
ments of the Chinese settlers. Shortly
after birth the infant is washed in cold
water. A young women selects the
man who has taken most human heads
as her husband. At •death a round
hole is dug three or four feet deep and
the body placed in a- sitting posture
with the knees drawn up to the breast.
Then all the friends turn their faces
and run off. Dr. Mackay then dealt
with the curios which he is presenting
to the institute. They are of the most
interesting description.

The State of Massachussets, some
two years ago, passed a rather unique
Taw relating to the preservation of
trees along its highways, Its:provis-
ions allows the selectmen of any town
in the State to apply to the State de-
partment of agriculture for nails the
letter "M" being' stamped in the head
of each nail, and then they' may select
trees on the highways in their town, not
more than one tree in each 33 feet, and
into each tree thus selected they must
drive one of these nails, the exact num-
ber of inches from the ground at which
the nails are to be driven being speci-
fied. After this is done, no tree thus
marked can he cut down or mutilated
Without penalty of a fine of $500. As
• 50,000 nails have been sent out, some
50,000 trees must be growing under
State protection, and the State's hard-

movement began to spread among the

it immediately, giving it, as with us,

TO BE PERFECTLY DRESSED REMEMBER
THESE THINGS.
Bracelets are clang•erous; but many
are better than one.
If not wealthy, buy your jewels first,
your dress afterwards.
Do not cominonize your jewels; dare
not to wear diamonds in daylight.
Belts are C01/11nonplace and con-
tradict every line of the body ; girdles
give grace.
The art of dressing was ruined by the
inventor of needle and scissors: ancient
draperies were clasped by splendid orna-
The pressure of an ordinary corset is
equal to carry a sack, of flour weighing
sixty pounds.

collars are sinfull sin is doing What
you know to be Wrong.
Avoid broad stripes.; they make un-
pleasant postures. Do notwear-asser-
tire brocades : they are designed for 1111
assertive, unctiltered aristocracy. .

ony and feeling, it is better to have
cheap' 'material and good color than
vice versa.

of the attire.
