a man about five feet nine inches in
height, his body a nice brown color,
covered, if he be a masher, with red
earth and vanished with oil, his face
painted in different colors and a piece
of polished stone through his nose, his
hair long and frizzy, ornamented with
bird Of paradise plumes and cockatoo
feathers, his teeth black or red, his ears
weighed down with huge ear orna-

proportions with a broad belt of bark,
shell armlets OH his arms and dogs
teeth necklaces round his neck, a breast
ornament of boars' tusks or pearl she'll,
a gaily-psinted waist ribbon, with long
streamers in front and behind, anklets
and kneelets of colored flax, and a
small netted bag over his shoulder
imagine all this and you have a typical

PERILs TO BRITISH COMMERCE.
From the Utica Herald.l


But without a blow struck the declar-
alton of foreign war would at once al
feet the British carrying trade Cargoes
would not be as readily shipped from
any port under the flag OF a belllgerent.
Every prudent shipper would seek.a
vessel sailing under a neutral lag, ana
would entrust his freight to no other.
Dread of loss would put a sudden
check to commerce of every kind from
British ports. War would prove the
most effective embargo possible. The
same causes would operate i'll Russia,
but there no carrying trade exists for
them to effect and no manufacturers
RELY in II degree on foreign markets..
The admiralty authorities are taking
every precaution for guarding the
British merchant navy in case OF hos
t~iities. Doubtless some OF the "grey-
hounds of the sea-" which have been
chartered, will be used for this purpose
solely. They will be effective, can do
much to prevent depredatlons, ana a
capture the privateers OF b enemy.
But the ocean is very broad. British
penetrates every part ot 1t.
The fastest cruisers cannot protect
every highway on the waves. Auda-
cious aggression may accomplish by
alacrity more than by actual assault:
The extent of the interests involved
invites privateering and promises large
rewards for it. .
All other nations combined do not
own as many vessels, d. as many IONS
of vessels, as Great Britain. This TACT
| limits the chance of letting loose hostile
| ships to prey on her commerce. But
it also m%ultiplies manif0ldly the losses
| which she may suffer. The destruction
| of vessels may be small, and yet the
| damage to trade and the loss i'll earn
| ings may be immense. The estimate
| which puts these indirect losses at
500, OO0, 900 in n year is very moder-
| ate, and if hostilities should be pro.
longed these losses would be continued
and be increased.
This estimate does not include the
harm which would befall British man.

THE BREAD OF PERSIA.

Newspaper.

[Afghanistan Letter in London Daily News
Persian Bread writes our CORES
pondent in Afghanistan, SIS a very Pc
culiar production; it is made in large
flaps, in some cases about a yard long.
Ii ever the Persians reach the advanced
state of morning newspapers they
might have them printed on their
bread, 80 that they could read the news
while they eat and swallow everything
literally. On seeing these large flaps |
have often thought that they must re-
semble the blacksmith's leather apron,
which was the old standard of Persia;
if the bread is not made after that
model they have managed to produce
an article very like it, not only in size
but in color and toughness at the same
time. We have had now nearly two
months experience of this material,
and it vas a delight on coming here to
get to our breakfast the first morning
bread that was made on a somewhat
later model than an old leather apron.
The chances of finding a change in this
detail of our daily lite ON reaching the
Indian camp had often been discussed
on the way, particularly at breakfast,

One of our party said he knew Major
Rind, the commissariat officer of the
other camp, and that he was not a man
likely to come away without the means
of baking good bread, but we had been
so long used to that Persian kind that
these assurances did not inspire much
hope. There had been doubts, but
these were dispelled at our first break

table with the bread. l fear that fol

TFrom the ST. Louis Post-Dispatch.I
The reported dissatisfaction with
President Cleveland greatly resembles
those reports of fever and ague which
are always referred TO the next county.
When we attempt TO locate the dissatis-
faction, and trace the rumors to their
source, we invariably find that the au-
thor of the rumor is well pleased him
self. but that he has heard that the
democracy OF some other place is not
at all pleased with the presidential
slowness in making removals. Mean
while the president has been in office
less than two months, and if the cleo
ton were to be held over again he
would gain several hundred thousand
votes from people who do not want OF
fees, but who only want to see the OF
fees well filled.

10Y TO PLANK A q A
From the Spirit of the Times.

AS sAS SDAS sAS hAS
Gen. Charles II. T. Coils tells what
he knows about planklng a shad, as
below:
Take a we'll charred oak plank, two
inches thick and from eighteen inches
to two feet square. Heat the plank
thoroughly before the fire. Take a fe-
male shad, scaled and cleaned, and
split it up the front, and not along the
backbone, as is usual, and nail it, back
downward, to the hot plank with gal
yanized iron nails. Place it before the
fire at a slight angle, say 80 degrees,
and haste with the very best butter.
Cook until well done, and serve it on
the plank, having a couple of blocks on
the table to rest the hot plank on. 1t
needs no other sauce than a mint julep.
The roe should be fried aul served
with the shad, or as a side dish, with a
thick sauce of cream butter and horse
radish.

"I1l make a spoon or spoil a hOrn,"
was the thought of a man who never
made a spoon in all his life, and who
knew perfectly well that he couldn't
make one, and only took a mean mans
malicious delight in spelling a horn.
P. S.-For a man who likes to take his
horn straight the Introduction of a
spoon always spoils it.

A NOTE FOR COMMON PEOPLE.
From the Denver Tribune,


Those who have labored to build up
American commerce have always as
serted that in time of war swift passen-
ger steamers could be utilized by the
navy with good effect and the oppo-
nent of the subsidizing legislation
have answered this claim in a sneer-
ing way, and declare that these YES
sells were too vulnerable to be of value
in time of war. This subject has now
become one which finds a practical
solution in the avidity with which
England and Russia are searching for
fast steamers, and even those which
are not noted for speed, to be used 70,
war purposes. The common people
may make Il note of it, but the average
congressman, who appears to be chos.
ell tor his stupidity or Obstinacy, OF
both, will pay no attention to it.

THE OOSSAOKS.

In personal appearance the Cossack
is not heroic. He is clumsy, with
the coarse and common features of the
Tartar type, and his stumbling air and
manner do not compensate for his
want of fine proportions. But he has
courage, endurance, and fidelity. On
service the Cossacks sleep in the open
air, and are capital scouts, as their
predatory habits, quick eyesight, and
familiarity with wide tracts of country
enables them to discern with great
readiness the features of the ground
they are t~raversing, to fall unexpected
w on small detachments of the enemy,
and to disappear with rapidity as soon
as the desired mischief has been
effected.
