At the Louisville EXPOSITION.

One night, says the Courier Journal
a young man took his sweetheart to the
Exposition with q cold-blooded deter.
mination. he showed her the dog
show.
@This," said he, lis one of the best
things in the Exposition"
He conducted her to the place where
the beautiful Borneo Apollos hold forth.
This" said he, sis one of the sights
here which is very interesting"
He then explained the two great en-
gines seen in the industrial part of the
building.
de showed her the art-gallery and
that pretty picture in the press.room
which is called Farewell to the Forest"
and which every lady who seesit wishes
to carry off.
"This picture" he explained, Exhibits
a gem of female loneliness, and few
things could be prettier. The greatest
attraction have reserved to the last. It
is by far the most unique thing in the
building" The young lady became
very much interested as he led her up
stairs and expatiated upon the beauties
of the unknown object.
Soon they stood before the large mir
ror; he paused, and so did she. III IN.
with cold-blooded explanation worthy
of better cause, he pointed into the
mirror at the young lady's reflection,
and said, " That, I think, is the boss
attraction in the Exposition"
1T is strange" she murmured, among
hor bushes, "that one glass should
mirror both the greatest and the least
attraction at the same time"

Population Of Afrfc..

We cannot hope for many years yet
to have anything like accurate statistics
on the population of Africa. Several
regions, the population of which is GER
tainly great, will probably long escape
anything like q thorough examination.
There are, for example, in the regions
OF the great lakes, countries quite Is
thickly populated as many Of the states
of Europe. Stanley tells us of ooun-
tries of relatively small extent, and
which yet possess milions Of inhabi-
tants. When we shall have succeeded
in making an approximate census of all
the populations, we shall probably reach
q figure considerably higher than the
present estimate. Some authorities ac-
cord to Africa not more than 100, OOO,-
900 OF inhabitants; others still less.
German geographers suppose that
Africa contains somewhat more than
2OO.OOO,OOO of inhabitants; the latest
English publications estimate the pop
ulation at 1S6, zoo, 600, which, for an area
of II 100000 square miles, gives an aver
age of sixteen inhabitants per square
mile, or specific population eleven and
one-half times less than that of France.
Africa, which has fifty-seven times the
area OF France, has probably scarcely
more than eight time the population.
The suppression of the slave trade, and
the influence Of European civilization,
may lead to an increase of population
very rapid and very great. It should
be observed that the appro,imative fig
ure of the specific population, applied
to the whole of the African continent,
will not give a just idea of the compact
character of the populations of the in
terror. According to Behna, the negro
regions are by far the most populous
parts of the continent. If the popula-
tions are sparse in the desert parts,
they are very dense in other regions.
Thus, in the Soudan the population is
estimated at $4,000, 600, or about So per
square mile; the town Of Bida, on the
Niger, has population of $4,000 in
habitants. The population of East
Africa is estimated at about 100000,
and that of Equatorial Africa at 100000
600. One of the latest authorities di-
vides the population of Africa ais fol-
lows among the great families into
which ethnologists have divided the
people; Negroes, 13O,OOO,OOO; Hamites,
100000; Bantus, 100000; Fulahs,
100000; Nubians, 100000; Hotten-
tots, $4,000. This would give q tots.!
population of 72,55O,OOO. These fig
ures are, of course, only approximate,
and may be much modified by new and
more precise information. The Ban
tus, for example, who, according to F.
NJ. Muller, form at least one quarter of
the population of Africa, might be found
to number 5O,OO0,O0O. These data we
take from paper by M. A. Rabaud, in
the Bulletin of the Marseilles Geo.
graphical Society.

A New Hampshire Man a Russian Ad-
miral.

How a Meredith boy became Rus
sian Admiral makes an entertaining
romance. The son of the Rev. Simons
Finley Williams, celebrated Massa-
chusetts clergyman, called to Meredith
in 1890, ran away from a Laconia en-
ployer because the latter thrashed him
for spending his evenings with the
girls. He took also $500 belonging to
his chastiser, who pursued him tc
Portland, reaching there two days after
the youngster had shipped on a Russian
bark. Tue vessel was attacked by pi-
rates, but the boy of II, with the assist
ance of two sailors, mounted an old
swivel, filed it with iron scraps, and
sank two boat-loads of buccaneers, thus
saving his ship. For this the Gear
trained young Williams up in the royal
navy, of which he became the head, his
title being Count Zincherschoff. He
subsequently visited this country and
paid the Laconia man his $500 and in
terest, all in gold, saying he should re-
turn to Russia an honest thanksgiving
field (lMass.) Republican.

For UgIY GirIs.

When woman loses her desire to please
she loses half her charms.
Nothing is more conducive to beauty than
cheerfnlness and good humor and no
morose or unhappy woman can be good
humored and cheerful. Then there are vast
numbers of ilstempered women who are ill
tempered because they are ugly. They do
not know what is the matter with them~
selves; neither do their friends know But
the incessant neglect and indifference with
which they are treated finally does its work
Of embittering ther feelings until the effect
unon their moral character is most perni-
ci0us. Every woman ought to understand
that nothing short of deformity can make
woman utterly unattractive, provided she
win study her points and points of attrac-
tivenesS every woman has.
A thoroughly refined, graceful manner
can be acquired by any woman, and is a
pok ful charm. The best grace is perfect
eesafalness. Still, you must study your
= and form your manners by the rule of
that art, which is but the carrying out of
the law of nature. But if it is your nature
to be forever assuming some picturesque,
unerateful attitude. pray help nature with
a little art. If you are stout avoid the
smallest chair in the rooom; and be sure,
il you do sit on it, not to lean back on it
with your hands folded in front of you
Just below the line of your waist, especially
while the present fashion lasts. If you
are thin, do not carry yourself with your
shin protruding and your spinal column
aurYed like the bowl of a spoon. Do not
wear f1imsy materials made mp without a
r4fiIs or puff or hounce to fill up the hard
oatlines of your bad figure, so cruelty de-

study the art of dress.
We once knew very plain woman who
dressed SO tastefully that it was an absolute
pleasure to look at her. If you have been
moping until you are sick with the thought
Of your own own ugliness, be up and do
ing. Forget your disappointments; forget
he past and sneers of your own family
over the mistakes you have made. There
nfs still friends to be won. There is work
% be done. Rouse yourself, and cast off
he enervating distrust of self, and the
moral cowardice which forbids you to as
seit yoursel.
