There is always the proportion of night
owls, men who work when others sleep.
They have an air about them which is
unmistakable, for while they look tired
from the toll they have just left, it is a
different kind of fatigue from that which
one notices among those who are cup
late" Many, in fact the majority, of
these are from the newspaper offices,
and they can always be known from the
shop talk they indulge in. Curiously
enough newspaper men do not talk very
much about their business in the day
time, not more, ut least, than does any
other class of men.
But at night it would seem as though
their brains are SO full of the subjects
they have just left that their chat be-
m of the shop, SLOPPY style. 1t is as
though surgeons had come from the
scenc of some operation and were con
strained to speak of the flap and the
drainage. Their talk is ''caviare to the
general, y conveying as it does an odd
impression of inside information among
the speakers. Then, too, it is mostly in
the future; they constantly talk of that
which others do not know yet. Their
discussion is of what the papers will
speak tomorrow morning; the news of
the afternoon has already become ancient
history TO them. That they deal in news
is recognized practically by others, for
nothing is more COMMON than to have
some gentlemen apply for information

The natives OF New Britain are the most
primitive people l AVE ever seen. Their
huts are small and filthy, and little Won
der is it That there is much sickness among
them. At night they build n fire in the
center of the hut II huddle around it for
warmth, with no covering over them and
nothing under them save a coarse mat.
The women are, with n few exceptions,
the ugliest specimens of the human race
imaginable, and n sight OF them will go
far to convert one to the Darwinian theory.
These creatures seldom wash themselves,
and, rs they are employed from one years
end to the other in hard labor, their np-
pearancc is anything but enticing. The
men pass their days in fishing or idling

Both men and women are keen traders,
and ever eager to acquire divara, or native
money, consisting Of very small shells

When there were buffalo on the plains
The Manitoba grizzlies were great hunters
of them. When a grizzly and a buffalo
met there was always sure TO be a con-
test, but it seldom lasted long, and the
buffalo was usually the victim. The
buffalo would charge upon the bear,
which awaited the onset of his foe erect
on his launches. AS the buffalo dashed
upon him the bear threw himself aside,
and with a blow as quick as lightning
with one of his fore paws seldom failed
to break his antagonist neck. A grizzly
bear has been known to engage in quick
succession four and even five big buffalo
bulls, and to kill every one of them. 1t
frequently happened however, that some
younger and more active bull than his
companions succeeded in evading the ia
tai blow of the grizzly's terrible fore paw
long enough to give in turn a fatal thrust
with his horn in the bears side, punctur-
ing the vitals, and making of the contest
a mutual slaughter. New York Sun.

The lady who is about to undergo the
dyeing process is stretched out at full
length on her back, and is not allowed
to stir The paste is put on the soles of
the feet, the toes included, about an inch
thick; the upper part of the feet is never
dyed. Soft leaves are then applied, as n
covering, and the whole is tightly
wrapped in linen.
The same process is gone through with
The palm Of the hand and the fingers. To
keep the application in place, the lady
lie perfectly still all night, for no
other parts of the body must receive the
dye, and a spot on the back of the hand
or the finger joints would be a great dis
figurement.
AT this time she is dreadfully leased by
swarms of mosquitoes and flies, but she
dare not move TO drive them away. In
The upper classes slaves watch all night
to keep away these pests with fans.
The same process must be repeated for
three nights to obtain the desired red
tint; but, once finished, it remains for a
month, and cannot be washed out.-''An

Fancy travel at the rate of two miles a
minute over an incline of polished ice,
with an eighteen inch toboggan for a
carriage, a pretty girl for a bon comrade
and a pair of electric balls hanging over
head like harvest moons. Recall the
sensations of being in love or a hot bath,
remember the details of your first merry
go round, the immediate influence of
champagne, chloroform or any other de-
licious into~xicant, and you have a faint,
very faint idea of the positively delight
full sensation that a fly down a toboggan
chute produces. In the decent one seems
to lose consciousness; the route lies be-
tween earth and sky; you have your
heart at your tongues end, and when
the bottom of the slide is reached it is
with shooting pulse" tingling blood
and flaming spirits. You feel as though
you had at last reached the acme of en-
joyment; that life was a dream, earth a

Those society balls'' were conducted
with great propriety and reserve. The
claim of every person of both sexes to be

mined by the responsible and trusty COM
