BED TOO BIG FOR DOOR.
PROBLEM SOLVED BY BUILD- ING HOUSE OVER IT.
Mr. Clifford W. Collinson, who. has a long lease of the island of Sambo, in the Solomon Protectorate Toup, told some amusing stories of life in the South Seas when ad- dressing a Royal Colonial Institute meeting at the Hotel Victoria, London.
Here is one of them. A'native boy had a passionate desire for a brass bedstead, "When the bed- stead arrived," Mr. Collinson said, "it was too large to go in the house, and the boy placed the bed- stead on an eligible site and built his house over it.
"To this day," he added, "he sleeps under the bedstead to avoid spoiling it."
Lads of ten or twelve did all the house-work at Mr. Collison's island home. "One morning," he said, "I told my bay to boll me an egg for breakfast, and I lent him my watch to time it. Ten minutes went by and nothing happened.
"I went into the kitchen and
