Playing Gypsies.

Mabel and Fay thought it would be
nice toplay gypsies and steal their baby
brother away from mamma. Then
they would make her pay piles of money
for bringing him back. So they dressed
up, and were dreadful looking gypsies,
in slouched hats and long coats. They
hid little George carefully on the front
porch behind some chairs and an open
umbrella.
Mamma was listening, and soon she
said: "Where is Georgia? l saw some
gypsies near here to-day; | am afraid
they have stolen him." SO she looked
in all the wrong places she could think
of. Then she sent Dinah, the cook, and
told her to offer ten dollars for the lost
baby,
Presently the two dreadful gypsies
came in and asked her if she wished to
buy n baby She paid ten round pieces
of gilt paper to the chief of the robbers,
which was Fay, and got her stolen baby
back. Then she made believe she
had been very much frightened about
George. The gypsies broke down,
and one of them wept, because she
thought mamma really had been
troubled. Then Mrs. Goodwin kissed
the terrible gypsies and told papa all
about it when he came from the office.

A witch Doctor in TranaIc.

The days of superstition and witch
craft are not yet over, at least in the
Cape Colony, where the readiness of the
native races to believe in things supernat-
urai is occasionally brought under no.
tiCe A case of this kind recently came
on for hearing at the Queenstown Cir
cult Court, in which a Kalir named
Namlasha, described as a''doctor," was
charged with having obtained money
from several natives by false pretenses
in so far that he made them believe that
he could cure their cattle of the disease
which they were suffering from, which
he attributed to witchcraft. Like ev-
cry other dabbler in the black art, the
plan he adopted to bring about the cure
was an eXtraord nary one, and could
not fail to suggest to the mind of the
most illiterate that its exponent was an
impostor Apparently, however, no
such thoughts occurred to the owners
of the "bewitched cattle" Perhaps they
were only too glad to embrace every
means likely to check the disease. At
any rate, Namlasha was allowed to pro-
coed. This worthy, it seems, had dis
covered whether after communion with
unknown spirits or not is uncertain
that the withcraft proceeded from
poison contained in the earth
beneath the kraals of his pa
irons. Accordingly he set to work,
and with some substance man
aged to dig some pretty large holes
in the ground. After a certain depth
had been reached the knowing one :"
de Jared that he had found the poison
which he Immediately spirited away to
somewhere else, no doubt by some
secret incantat on or other. For this
bit of magic the doctor demande /
high fees, which were paid to him I'M
grudgingly, in some cases a few head
of cattle being given in lieu of money.
Naturally enough the result was looked
forward to with considerable interest
on the part of the uninitated occupants
of the kraals, but, strange as it may
appear, the cattle still continued TO be
attacked with the disease. This, OF
course caused dissat sfaction among
the owners, and united action was
take against the destroyer of poison -
who had thus failed TO AIRY out the
bargain in effecting a perfect cure y
after he had received Ill eral payment.
In dealing with the case, the Jury re-
turned verdict of guilty OF fraud bu;
his lordship deferred passing Sent ence,
simply binding the accuse over, in his
own recognizances to appear and re-
cerYe sentence any time when callel
upon within the next five years, The
Judge, no doubt, took nto account the
fact that the proprietors OF the cattle
were greatly 20 blame themselves fol

A Boys PerilOus Ride.

When the wheeel-sounder Of the New
York entral d Hudson River Railroad
trains at the Grand Central depot began
an examination of the trucks of the
first sleeping-car of the first Atlantic
express, due at quarter TO seven

back in surprise and alarm. Upon the
forward truck was apparently the dead
body of a boy about fourteen years old,

and began pulling him out gently. AT
the first movement of the body The po-
liceman and porter5 jumped back in
amazement The boy was not dead,
but sleeping. He had been suddenly
awakened by the interference OF the

Inc Ashanteos are a proud people.
~ho think themselves now to be an ins-
Hortant nation, and believe that they
arc ultimately destined 10 be a great
power i'm Africa. Their ambassadors
have always stoutly maintained before
che Governors OF the English posse ision
aud The officials of other nations that
lheY were the representatives of a peO-
pie raised mp by the hand OF God for
the greatness OF Africa. This can
scarcely Zee called mere braggadoco,
for the Ashantces have often been de-
feated by England, and yet they are
stiu to- tho front. No mere sayages
could have recovered SO rapidly or 50
completely, for example, as they have
done from the effects of the late war.
30 is thing unknown among low-class
races TO regain power and prestige they
have once lost. Only high-ciass races
can DO this. who have policy which
lives through defeat who pursue with
perseverance and determination a fixed
national idea. OF course, in saying this
no one means TO contend that the
Ashantces have in their system OF do
minion and government any moral quail
lilies which merit special commonda-
lions, regarded from European point
of view. But on the coast of Africa the
have TO be dealt with; and that the
Ashdntecs have shown qualities of a
higher order speaking relatively, than
their neighbOrs is acknowledged will
ingly or unWillingly, by the neigh
b0rs themselves, They show facul-
ty for assimilation which, in Africa
especially has many advantages. En-
gland would find it advantageous
IN many ways if she had TO deal main
~ with q people having this quality,
rather than with the Fantes and other
coast people, whom she can hardly ever
get to work together or to agree in
policy with her, while they manage
perpetually to start bitter feuds and TO
bring Oh wars which they are unable to
wage without her aid. If Ashantec in
spires fear she is also undoubtedly re-
spectcd, and it may be here remarked
that the few Mohanmedans who pass
by Kumassi To the coast towns seem
especially to like her. Indeed. sgnih
cant signs are not wanting which in
dictate the possibility of the acceptance
of the Mohammedan faith by the
Ashantees. They have qualities much
I'm common with some of its character
istcs, and many of the chiefs have al
ready adopted certain OF its forma tiles
The prospects of these movements of
Mohammedansm in Africa must not be
Judged bv the slow progress made by
Christianity Northumberland does
not impose on its adopters foreign dress
or manners, rs Christianity has been
made to do in these countries. To-day
Kumassi and the neighboring towns
may hold all their various grotesque
supersttions, and practice bloody rites
20 commemorate some great festival,
and year hence they may be inhabit-
ed by a compact Mohammedan people.
10 needs some great mind like a st.
Paul, or one of the national apostles OF
old, to show the people of Africa that
Christianity could lust rs easily become
their national faith. -- Contemporary

copal Church in Smyrna, Del, Sun
day or two ago In the middle OF the
sermon the preacher said Let praise
Him, and q few, understanding him to
say LET us pray" proceeded to kneel.
The movement was contagious, and the
whole audience was going to prayers
when the preacher exclaimed Il did
not say Let us pray | ava not through
yet; we will pray directly" So they
resumed their seats with very broad
faces and with emotions very foreign to
pure worship. ~ Chicago Times.
