'for my part, I see not the slightest
sorcery in the whole affair, and if there
is it is very natural sorcery, which you
perhaps are now too old to comprehend,
but which is nevertheless no offense to
God"
"But what shall dol What shall l
do" still cried the old Betzkor.
"Dol A very simple thing-give him
Dodena to wife. Is he not the bravest
and handsomest boy in Sotwinka2 And
if say this to you, you will be able to
believe it with closed eyes, for after God,
if there is any one upon the face of the
earth able to sound the hearts of men
and women, it is truly, it seems to me,
the minister of God"
The old Betzkor was by no means con-
vinced, but as in the end his sighs and
lamentations brought about no change
in the situation he was forced to give up
the argument and yield the game.
Now Dodena is the wife of Nlasin, and
when they take themselves to the steppe,
and when the enchanted violin vibrates,
harmonious and penetrating, and the
voices of the married lovers mount
unitedly toward the heavens blue and
pure, there is not in the world couple
whose felicity is deeper or more complete.

A Pineapple Pudding.

Cut fine ripe pineapple in slices and
boil it for ten minutes in pint of white
sugar syrup, then remove the fruit and
press it through sieve. Add to the
syrup in which the pineapple was boiled
an ounce of gelatine which has been
soaked in cold water for twenty minutes,
and stir over the fire until the gelatine
is entirely dissolved, then strain the
syrup through a piece of muslin, and
when rather cool stir it into the fruit
pulp. You can decorate the inside of a
mold with fruit if you desire. The fruit
used for decoration should be dir0ed
into melted gelatine, then it will
firmly to the mold. Pour in the
apple, etc, and imbed the mold in
until required. If the decorating -s
done tastefuly the pudding will form
an elegant-looking dish. When more
convenient, canned pineapple may lie
used instead of fresh, and will answer
the purpose very nicely.-Ne0 Yorb

Primitive African Telephone System.

A part of Recluss map showing the
tribes who live in the CAMERON district,
West Africa, is shaded to show exactly
what portion of the country is the home
of the four or five little tribes who have
perfected an ingenious and practical
telephone system that distinguishes them
from all the other natives of Africa.
Everywhere among the blacks of Africa
the big drum or tam-tam is used in war
and on festive occasions, but it is only
these CAMERON natives who have dis.
covered how useful the tam-tam may be
made as a rapid promulgator of news
ovet mountain and plain.
OF course, the news is telcphoned by
drumming on the tam-tam, Tut the
sounds produced are not signals. Ac-
cording to the New York Sun they repre-.
sent syllables and words, and so grow
into sentences like the ticks Of a tele.
graph instrument. 1t is a very ingenious
invention, and deserves to rank with any
of our own devices for the rapid trans
mission of news that were in vogue
before the electric telegraph superseded
them. The force and rapidity with
which the instrument is beaten are elc-
ments in the Interpretation fthe idea to
be expressed, and syllables and words
are also formed by combinations of
strokes, something like the Morse alpha.
bet 1t is complicated system, and
speaks highly for the intelligence of the
people who devised it.
The system is a secret that is confided
to only about 200 of the natives. Though
five or six of the white residents and ex-
plorers in that region have told all they
know about the tam-tam telephone, its
language is as yet wholly uuintelligible
to them, as the secret is carefully
guarded. Only few women have been
instructed in the art, and no slave is per-
mitted to acquire it.
1t is the duty of every operator to be
ready, if need be, when he hears the
tam-tam to repeat the message, which is
taken up in turn by operators further in-
land. In this way any news may be COM
municated for distance Of forty or fifty
miles in a few hours. Thus the chiefs
correspond with one another, and no
important news happens that is not
promptly telephoned all over the dis
trict. When ship arrives at the mouth
of the CAMERON River the tam.tam may
be heard beating far up the side of the
nelghDorlng mountains, anu tne news Is
repeated from drummer to drummer
until it reaches the furthest confines of
the district If white party proposes
to visit some chief in the interior the
tam tam carries the news to him that
white visitors are coming almost before
they have stated on their journey. Thus
our benighted African brother has taught
himself way to annihilate space and 20
transmit his thoughts on the wings of the
wind

the door. When Cannon's friend dis
covered the plight in which he had

and called for help. A number of men
worked with chisels and bars for several
hours, but ouly succeeded in opening
the door about an inch, which, however,
was sufficient to admit air to the prison.

Electricity as an Anesthetie.

Mayor Hewitt, of New York, says the
Mail anil ESyrlSs, was not far astray in
his assertions made before the Electric
Convention the other day at the Hotel
Brunswick, when he said that electricity
was only in its infancy. \ lady who
went through the trying ordeal is re-
sponsible for saying that a dentist in this
city has successfully introduced clea.
tricity as a substitute for gas. She went
to him the other dag to have a tooth
pulled, and as she feared to take gas au
ticipated martyrdom. The dentist asked
her if she would not try electricity, and
his explanation satisfied her of its pain.
lessness and safety. The dentist had a
small battery with which he charged her,
and when he placed the forceps to the
tooth to be pulled the instrument acted
as a conductor of the electric fluid, which
flowed from the tooth. When he pulled
she felt no pain, the electricity seeming
TO neutralize it, and the operation was
performed as easily as if gas had been
administered The patient beside felt
exhilarated and strengthened by the
operation. There seems to be no longer
any reason why the filling and pulling of
teeth should be accompanied with such
fearful dread aud subsequent agoly.

The Pcrils of Damp Beds.

A respectable proportion of the deaths
that occur during the winter season are
either directly or indirectly due to
sleeping in damp beds. AS matter of
fact, this peril is of the greatest, and it is
tray eler rarely hazards the risk of sleep
ing between sheets which are nearly
sure to he damp, until they have been
aired under his personal supervision Mt a
fire in his bedroom. If.this be impracti-
cable, he wraps his cloak around him or
pulls out the sheets and sleeps between
the blankets, a disagreeablc, but often
prudent, eXpedient. The direct mis-.
ch ef may result from the contact of an
imperfectly heated body with sheets
which retain moisture. The body heat is
not sufficient TO raise the tenn perature of
the sheets to safe point, and the result
must be disastrous in the extreme, If, as
is sure to happen, the skin is cooled by
contact with surface colder than itself,
and steadily abstracting heat all the
night through. Country people in
particular are specially culpable in this
matter. A spare room is reserved for
guests. For weeks it may remain un-
occupied, unaired and unwarmed. A visi-
tor arrives. Unconscious of the fate that
awaits him he calmly passes the evening
in social enjoyment. Later he is shown
to the spare" room for the night. The
atmosphere of the apartment has the
chill and damp of the tomb, and the
sheets of the bed are veritable winding
sheets-shrouds, in fact. He is fortunate
if he escapes with nothing more than q
"cold." There is no excuse for the
neglect of proper precaution to insure
dry beds. - CuitiCator.

THE GRAY FATHER


A tiny girl went singing
Among the meadow flowers;
Her father watched her bringing
Her happy thoughtless hours
She never saw his features,
She never knew his face,
OF all unconscious creatures
She had the JOY and grace.
Years passed her father brought her
A jewel for her brow;
She thought-and while she thought, her
Gray father she saw now.
But she was not so mirthful
That father now she knew;
OF grief she found old earth full,
And she was older too.
The father of that maiden,
He is old Father Time,
A parent heavy laden
With more Of prose than rhyme.
No more you hear her laughter
The Towering fields among;
Her words forever after
Are rather said than sung.
-Keningale Cook, in Temple Bar.
