male clerks all say they prefer waiting

either take an article Immediately or
refuse it. On the contrary, a lady is
very particular and takes long time
to decide upon what she desires to
purchase. Nothing tiatters a woman
more than to have a polite clerk try
on pair of shoes and make some re
mark about the beautiful shape OF her
feet. A female clerk never INDUCES in
such compliments to her own sex. My
experience is that men alone are best
fitted to sell ladies' Shoes

Madagascar.

From All the Year Round.
Madagascar Is peopled partly with
negrltOs-the same race as the Papu-
ans and other Melanesians-partly
with Polynesians, (Malays,) who in
speech come very near the Samoans
and Tonga Islanders. The speech, in
deed, all through the island IS much
the same, though a Hova, even if he
has not taken to wearing a coat and
trousers and carrying a watch, Is very
unlike a Bara, who wears his hair in a
central knob as big as q tennis ball.
surrounded by from ten to q hundred
smaller knobs, all hardened up with
fat, and wax, and whitening, and who
has huge wooden earrings, and a neck
lace OF little wooden balls mixed with
beads. How these negritos came in
nobody knows; they must date from
the days of the dodo. One can ac-
count for the latter race, for Polyne-
slams have always been great sailors.
Malacca had its restless spirits, its vik-
lngs, who swarmed out from every
creek, seeking either a new home or a
new plunderingground. They reached
New Zealand; they colonized island
after island OF the South Seas; and
one of their marauding fleets, caught
in the western "trade, was driven on
the southeast corner OF Madagascar,
whence, conquering as they went, they
moved up to thetableIand OF Imerina,
and founded Antananarivo, (the city

Samson, the Elephant, Gets Mad and
Makes the Temperature Warm.
During the performance of a circus
at Lapeer, Mich, on the 23d, Samson,
a large elephant, became infuriated
and turned upon the 5000 persons
assembled under the canvas. He tore
up the seats, smashed the furniture
and made havoc generally. Women
tainted, children screamed, boys
climbed trees and a general stampede
followed. The enraged elephant, after
clearing out the canvas, madea break
for the woods near by, and mired
himself in an adjacent swamp. After
much difficulty he was extricated, but
FIVE bullets were shot into his hide to
tame him. Amid the panic numbers OF
limbs were broken and property lost
and damaged. No fatalities occurred.

THE TEMPEST.

We were crowded in the cabin,
Not u soul would dare to sleep.
1t was midnight on the waters
And storm was on the deen.
'Tis fearful thing in winter
To be shattered by the blast,
And TO hear the rattling trumpet
Thunder, "Cut away the mastt'
So we shuddered there in silence,
For the stoUtesU held his breath,
While the hungry sea was roaring,
And the breakers talked with Death
As thus we sat in darkness.
Each one busy with his prayers.
I'VE are lost y the captain shouted
As he staggered down the stairs.
But his little daughter whispered,
As she took his icy hand,
"Isu God upon the ocean
Just the same as on the land %
Then we kissed the little maiden,
And we spoke in better cheer,
And we anchored safe in harbor
When the morn was shining clear.
