eating No one knows, when be be-

begets with the successful lust of
greed which nothing can satisfy, and
with the unsuccessful self-contempt,
morbid anxiety, shattered nerves, the
agony of alternating hope and despair.
Wall street puts human nature in the
gutter and keeps it there. Its history
is record of feverishness, infatuation,
failure, transgression. remorse, dis
grace and suicide. When a trusting

the stock market is generally discovered
to be the cause. Not one hundredth
part of the mischief it does is divulged.
Its tainted names and shattered repu-
tations only occasionally come to the
surface. might give instances that
would startle. Proud men. pure women,
conscientious clergymen, upright judges
are swept away by it. Innocent fami-
lies all over the land are blasted by it.

STRANGE FETlCHES,

Some of Those Cherished and Worshiped
by the Congo Negroes.
Every Congo negro carries M'kissi
upon himself, and there may be thou
sands of kinds of them that escape the
eyes of the white man. The N'ganga,
or medicine man, is usually the fabri-
cant Of the fetch. and whatever he
finds good to impose upon his simple
minded, credulous brethren for q high
price, sewed up in cloth or leather or
inclosed in goats horn, is doubly
valuable in the eyes of its new posses
sor because he believes that his M'kissi
stands in a personal relation to him.
self, and he can not be induced to give
it up to white man for any price.
Among those amulets are dried
snakes and lizards heads, little pieces
of skin. feathers of certain birds and
parts OF known poison plants The eye
teeth of leopards are an exceedingly
valuable fetch on the Kroo coasts, and
it is easy to buy with them articles of
vastly more real value. like ivory rings,
etc.
The kabinda negroes wear little
brown shell. very much like our Lin
neus, on their necks. The shells are
sealed with wax, and are made, per-
haps. vessels containing magic medi-
cines. The large snail shells found in
the Cassava or manioc fields on the
Kuilu Niadi are also Mkissi, and
set in the fields by the women
who till them to protect the planta-
tions. One of the chiefs in the Upper
Kuilu Niadi, in N'kuangita. has a
Mkissi against the tornado. It is an
antelope horn. On the approach Of a
storm the King calls his people together;
the horn is stuck in the ground and q
dance is begun around it, which is kept
up. in spite of wind and storm, till the
tornado is over.
Every house in the village has its
M'kissi; they are frequently put over
the door or brought inside. and then
they protect the house from fire and
robbery. These penates of the negroes
are sometimes figures very artistically
cut in wood or ivory, and show GER
tain degree of native skill and taste in
the people. But it is not the guardi-
ans of his house only that the negro
thus represents in material figures. He
also gives corporal form to diseases like
smallpox and fever. Every town has
its war fetch.
The hypene palm tree OH the Kuilu
shows how the negro sees a spirit at
work in the wonders of nature which |
he can not explain. The tree was
M'kissi to the whole village. Good
medicines, with which the negroes are
acquainted or of which they experience
the salutary effect, are also called |
M'kissi. A negro called dose of cas-
tor oil which gave him M kissi m bote,
or good medicine. Y. Journal.

WORK FOR WOMEN.
How Two Enterprsing and Industrious
Ladies Mare q Living.

How Two Enterprisins and Industrious
Ladies Mare a Living.
Here is the way one woman turns the
honest penny: She is seamstress by
trade and a good one, but after all her
faithful industry is barely able to exc
out a scanty living with her needle.
Constant and weary toll makes mad
anne none the less lady, however, and
one of the first requirements of her life
is to occupy pleasant apartments. Rent
per month is say five dollars. With q
hundred and one drains on small
treasury this is considerable sum to
compass. and the cleverness with which
she manages to secure the amount
would put to shame many an older
tinancier. In the first instance one dol
lar was invested at the bakers, which
as every one knows will buy two dozen
fat loaves.
She next secured twenty-four regular
customers to pay five cents apiece as she
delivered the bread early every morn
ing, carrying it warm and crisp from
the oven. This, as will be seen, gives
her twenty cents clear profit a day.
Being carefully deposited in savings
bank on the mantle shelf, behold when
the landlord knocks the required sum
is all ready for payment. The early
walk in no way interferes with her reg
ular duties, but on the contrary serves
as good constitutional, healthful
preparation for the sedentary employ
ment of the rest of the day. Hearing
of woman who has courage and ener-
gy to do this sort of thing helps others
along, no matter what their calling or
pursuit.
The first womas to occupy the posi-
ton of cane weigher on a sugar pianta-
tion-a place of some trust and respon-
sibility-was young girl from the
North. Fortune took her up in the
coast country this past autumn. and.
asking work. the situ~lUn was offered
and Immediately accepted. She went
to work without hesitation, and. giving |!
perfect satisfaction to her employers, |
proved there is still another line of |
work opened to those of her sex look
ing for employment-N. O. Times

and there is some feeling between the
two factions in most of the Republican
States. If Sherman can show that he is
the strongest man in the party these
differences will melt away. The Ohio
Senator says that it was on the hy-
pothesis that Blaine would not be can
didate that he himself entered the lists.
He had understood all along that Blaine
would not again seek the nomination. 1t
is evident that Foraker did not know
that Blaine would not be candidate or,
if he did. has been trying to work the
Blaine boom for his own benefit.
Judge Gresham is looming up as a
strong candidate. Gresham clubs have
already been formed and the movement
is said to include some Democrats. He
is miller in his political ideas than Sher-
man. While he would suit well the very
considerable part of the Republican
party that has tired of the bloody shirt
he would disgust the ultra and fanatical
wing. He is something of the Garfield
type of Republican. Gresham will be
heard from this year. His strength was
considerable four years ago and it viii
increase greatly with the withdrawal OF
Blaine Foraker of course will be can
didate of the ranting, strident-voiced
never-forgive sort, and may bother Sher
man considerably. Gresham's following
will be among such as do not like either
Sherman nor Foraker
