Ar old baobab in Africa Is, then, more
like forest than a single tree. The
age is incalulable. Humboldt considers

The fact that on looking back TO the
Egyptian monuments and inscriptions
of 1900 TO 5,000years ago, several of the
best-marked races of man were already
in existence, including the brown
Egyptian himself, the dwarf, white
Semitic man of Assyria or Palestine,
and the Central African of two varieties,
which travellers still find as distinct as
ever, has led some of the most eminent
anthropological writers of the present
time to the conclusion that the causes
which brought about their differences in
types of skull. hair, skin and constitution
did their chief work in times before his
tory began. Since then-as the argument
goes-the races which had become adapt
ed TO their geographical regions may
have, on the whole, undergone little
change while remaining there; and,
though some alterations are traceable,
as due TO migration into new climates,
even these are difficult TO follow, masked
as they are by the more striking changes
produced by intermarriage of races
changes which took place during
prehistoric period OF vast length.

The Lack of $40 Creates Saving Smile,

A small. ragged boy, with tears
coursing down his begrimmed cheeks,
was brought in by six-foot reserve and
deposited before a Philadelphia magis-
trate. In one hand he clutched bundle
of advertising circulars. The officer
explained that he had arrested him for
scattering the circulars broadcast upon
the sidewalk.
well, sir said the magistrate put
ting on severe look, what have YOU
to say to this?'
The culprit looked from the big re-
serve to the stern magistrate and sob
bed: "He-he gave me fifty cents to
do it."
"Who?"
"a man on Arch street"
"Well, I'll have to fine you. Have
you so about you'"
At this question the ragged urchin
laughed outright through his tears, the
stern lines on his Honor's face relaxed
into kindly smile, and amid the laugh
ter of the court, the boy was dismissed,
with reprimand Philadelphia Times.

MONDAY EVENING, Nov. 10, 1883.

MONDAY EVENING, Nov. 10, 1883.
The weather Is clear and cold. Ice

Chinese Thrift.

II seems that notwithstanding the
vigorous and complicated anti-Chinese
legislation in California, and the new
treaty forhidding the emigration Of
Chinese lahorers TO this country, the
Mongolians manage 10 prosper on the
Pacific coast beyond all other races.
They have secured control Of several
manufactures and trades, and no effort
can avail 10 overthrow the monopoly.
1t is said the pork trade is entirely in
their hands, and every pound Of fresh
hog meat eaten in san Francisco pays
tribute 10 a Chinlman. When they
compete for trade they not only secure
It, but monopolize it. They enjoy
monopoly Of the clothes washing indus
try. and none can compete with them.

Origin Of Thirteen at Table.

Says the Milwaukee EUcDiHg Wis
corSiH: There seems TO be a universal
and widespread superstition against
thirteen persons sitting down at table
together. Indeed, so prevalent and
strong is this feeling. that hostess ar
ranging for guests is sure to provide
against the contingency and eschcw, IL
possible, the fatal number We have
known ladies 90 rise panic stricken
from a table where the number was
inadvertently discovered, and the omen
is populaTly believed to denote either
trouble, sorrow or death. Few, If any,
seem to know the origin Of this strange
and mystic superstition, which dates
far back to the earliest ages Of Christi
Rnity. When good King Arthur Of
Britain, founded his famous round Ia
ble, he secured the services Of the en-
chanter. Merlin, TO devise and arrange
the seats This famous sorcerer ac-
cordingly arranged among others thir-
teen seats TO represent the Apostles,
twelve for the faithful adherents of
our Lord and the thirteenth for the
traitor Judas The first were never
occupied save by knights distinguished
above all others for their valor and
prowess, and in the event Of death
occurring among them the seat re-
mained vacant until knight surpass-
ing in daring and heroic attainments his
predecessor should be deemed worthy

effeminate knight laid claim to the
seat he was repelled by some secret or
hidden spell cast by the powerful ma
gician. The thirteenth seat was never
occupied save upon one occasion. as It
is said. by naughty and overbearing

in the fatal scat, was instantly reward.
ed for his presumption by the earth
opening and swallowing him up. Its
afterward bore the name of the perl.
Gus seat. and among all the adYentu-
rous knights Of King ArthuFs court
none were 80 fOolhardy as to risk their
lives on the enchanted spot. And'now,
after 1900 years, the spell Of the magi.

nineteenth century the thirteenth seat
at the table Is as greatly dreaded as in
the days Of the knights of the famous
