Travellers Who Are Enthuslasttc Over the
Charms Of the Fsir sex.
The explorer, Won Francois, was en-.
gagged a while ago sketching an Afri-
can village. which was little. out oi
the common because all the houses
were built on platforms which kept
them out OF reach Of high water when
the river overnowed its banks. While
engaged with his sketch, he says, his
attention was suddenly riveted by "a
black sbeauty." Many Caucasian la
dies, he thinks, could we'll envy this
primitive maiden for her skill in the
arts of coquetry as she poised her head
now on this side, now on that, and
paced daintily to and fro along the
shore, using her big black eyes all the
while to the best advantage. One would
hardly notice the fact, he says, that
she was very scantily attired SO we'll
was the lack of clothing supplied
by elaborate and beautiful tattooing
and long strings OF cowrie shells,
which she wore around her neck and
body, while girdle .encircled her
waist Altogether, he thought she
was one Of the most picturesque and
attractive objects he had seen in
Africa.
Several recent travellers have spoken
in quite complimentary and apprecia.

from Zanzibar before he was express.
ing his admiration for the "young and
really pretty negresses and their ut
tractive FORMS" VI course he had
plenty of opportunity to observe that
''their shoulders are round and ele-
giant, their arms are exquisitely mold
ed, and their forms are quite perfect" "
"Our brown Beauties" he adds, "were
not particularly shy. but at the same
time they were quite reserved. They
would ask us timidly for permission to
pass their hands over our skin, whose
whiteness astonished them, but they
retired in good order whenever we Of

ders or cheeks.
Another traveller, who has just writ
ten u description of several African
tribes, thinks that the poorest taste in
the way OF ornaments he has seen is
among the Bayansi women, who wear
brass rings around their necks weigh
ing twenty-five TO thirty pounds. The
flesh under these rings. he says, is in
many cases continually chafed and
raw, and for hours at time the
women support their rings on their
hands in order to relieve the pressure
upon their necks. And yet no well-to-
do married woman would think that
she could exist without her neck ring;
and when they are asked II this orna-
ment is not very uncomfortable thing
to wear, they always pretend that they
do not understand. Brass is money

having it forged in big Jumps around
the necks OF their wives, have found a
safe but rather cruel method Of money

LOST eANx.Norss.
Ono of tho 0reat Sources Of Income of the
. Rank Of ENGLAND.


Bank Of England.
There Is one fate which befalls q
bank-note that no one as yet seems to
have noticed, not even the lynx-eyed
Chancellor Of the Exchequer What is
to be said, or left unsaid, about all
those bank-notes which, going out
month by month and year by year
from the Bank OF England, never re-
turnp How many go down in ships to
the bottom OF the scae How many
perish in the fires of great cities, or
are buried with living men and women
in yawning gulfs by earthquakesp
Some, it is on record, are cast into the
fire in feminine fit of temper, or used
in vulgar ostentation by rich cox
comb to light his own or friends
cigar. Who shall say how many of the
lost notes are not eaten by rats or
niee. or torn to shrcds in play by Tim
othy, the winsome catp How many are
swept into the sewers of our big cities,
or into the cutters OF the streets, washed
out OF oil semblance of their original
form and beauty? All these estroycd
or missing notes, representing gold
which has never been demanded, are
pure profit and gain to the Bank OF
England. The immense value of this
gain Is known to the Bank of England
only. The outstanding notes for
century and more are recorded in its
books and ledgers. o, ye gods and
Radicals! what an amount of ''un-
earned increment falls to the bank
from these unclaimed notes, bearing
on their face the promise TO pay on
demand" SO many hundreds and hun
dreds Of thousands Of pounds! Whisper
it not in Downing street; breathe 1t not
at St. Stephens.
1t has long been rumored that the
palm of Mr.. Goschen's hand itches after
some OF what the Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer considers untaxed or insult
ficiently-taxed profits of the Bank of
England. But the Bank of En-
gland is not an institution to
be lightly touched on trihed with.
1t is beloved of men. 1t is the out
ward and visible sign of the coun-
try's wealth. 1t is not only respectable
itself, but it confers cespectability on
all connected with it The holders of

SHIPPED from afar What is the wealth
OF Ormuz and of Ind compared to that
OF the Bank of England? 1t is the
temple in which the Golden Calf is set
up for worship In the heart of man
alas, that it should be so!-the bank
note (the image in our day of the
Golden Calf reigns supreme. 1t puts
even woman's love in the background.
The Bank Of England-especially as
regards its gold and bank-note depart
ment, where the.outward and visible
signs 'u wealth may be looked at and
tOuched-draws the hearts OF men from
far and wide. Although its outward
structure is uncouth and mean, to the

including Grimshaw Bros large silk
mill. In the latter were upwards of 200
operatives who were buried in the ruins.
many have been killed.
At $3.50 p. M. about 100 persons had
been taken out, many of whom were
dead. 1t is impossible to obtain q list Of
the injured and killed at this hour, but
it is known that the killed and injured
will exceed $50.
Not 4 single brick remains of the beau
tiful building except the stock and en-
CINE room. The fire department was
called out and 10000 men, women and
children quickly assembled about the
wrecked mill. The cries of the wounded
and dying and their friends were heart
rcnding. Willing hands, however,
quickly set to work, and at $40 o'clock
some seventy persons had been taken
out. Twelve of these were dead and
many fatally injured. Those who were
less seriously hurt were taken to their
homes, while those who received more
serious injuries were taken to the hos
pitfalls. 1t will take till morning before
all the killed and wounded can be gotten
out. Clerk Autenbach stated at
midnight that he believed that fully
eighty bodies were in the ruins under
the three floors. His list of employees is

Ing out the injured he was unable to fur

conservative estimate of those who lost
their lives.

in less than ten minutes the entire
