turned. Miss Bell made many friends
and will be missed in the circle in
which she was SO popular.

of party slippers and low shoes at the
popular shoe store of E. Ellenbogen,

The Rev. and Mrs. M. D. Early OF
the Second Baptist church, left this
week for their new home at Talledega,

that place. They were followed by
the best wishes of host of friends.
Mrs. Early who has for some time
been a teacher in the Fort Steele was
much beloved by both teachers and
pupils, and the devotion of the latter
was attested by the grief of children
at parting. May they be happy and
prosperous in their new home.
The many friends of Mr.. and Mrs.
W. H. Jarrett sympathize deeply with
them in the loss of their little son,
who died the morning of February Z.
Although little invalid from birth
and the recipient Of the unremitting
care and attention of both parents,
he had of late shown signs of steady
improvement, sufficient to klndle
hopes of his ultimate recovery, and
his sudden death was therefore a sur
prise to many persons. Mr.. and Mrs.
Jarrett have the sympathy of all
friends.

nate winner. There is still short
time left in which to purchase five
dollars worth of excellent goods at
the most reasonable rates and receive
at the same time a ticket which will
entitle you to chance in the draw
ing, which is to take place Monday,
February IL, at u m. All holders
of tickets are invited to be present at
the drawing.

X. Roots. The regular election of

Mrs. Adams. Excellent and enjoy.
able papers were read on both occa.
sions, and the next meeting will be
held Monday evening, February II,

A Mexican arch@ologist, Senior
Marghiere, has recently made an in
teresting discovery of naturally mum
mifed human bodies in a cavern in
the Sierra Madre Mountains. The
cavern is of natural origin, and lies
at the height of about 1000 feet above
the sea. The mouth of the opening
had been artifcially closed with sun.
dried bricks and stones, so contrived
as not only to close but to conceal the
entrance. In the cave the dessicated
remains of four human bodies were
found, apparently all members of one
family, the father, mother, boy, and
a girl. The bodies were in the posi-
ton so commonly given to the dead by
American Indians; they were in a
sitting posture, the hands crossed over
the breast, and the head inclined for.
ward toward the knees. They al
were placed with their faces toward
the east, and were shrouded in burial
garments.
In an article concerning these remains
in recent number of Nature the writer
assumes that the preservation of the
bodies was due to the peculiarly high
dHo VI DIliS SOubACl
cline and elevated level. In this con-
clusion he is mistaken, for the reason
that, in one case of a human body, dis.
covered about fifteen years ago in a
cavern near the Natural Cave in Ken.
lucky, a similar natural desiccation
had taken place. The remains were
those of child II or IA years of age.
The unfortunate creature had evident
ly been lost in the cavern, and had
wandered until starvation brough1
about death. The position of the body
was that of perfect repose, showing
that the sleep of exhaustion had passed
into the rest of death. In this case, as
in that of the remains found by Senior
Marghiere, the integument was well
preserved, there being no trace of de.
cay in any part of the form; even
something of the expression of the face
remained despite the emaciated look
given by the process of desiccation.
Wherever the circumstances of burial
are such as would be afforded by any
caverns in this country, where the
access of the germs which conduct the
Preventative process of decay is pre-.
vented, and where the air has an or.
binary dryness, like process of mum.
MITIGATION would certainly ensue. II
thus seems probable that the Egypt.
ians took an unnecessary amount oil
pains to preserve their dead in the
mummified condition. In their dry
climate the same end could have beer
attained by much simpler processes.
As far as the preservation of form is
concerned these mummies of Mexico
or Kentucky are bodies as well pre-
served as any of those from Egyptian
burial places.

What a "Fakir" is.

at is pretty hard to tell sometimes
just what fakir is.''
So said an old veteran of the frater-
nifty to on EUeniag World reporter the
other day
'Some people seem to think that a
fakir is half a crook, and sometimes he
is; his plan of operation being to rob
people so ingeniously that they like
it.
s'But the whole-souled, high-bred
gentlemen of our profession are merely
fly lot of street merchants who buy
an article for 10 cents and sell it for
81. Of course, it is a kind of robbery.
Nobody denies that. But we are all
robbers"
Having delivered himself of this
elaborate definition of his ASSOCIATED
the old-timer lighted new cigar and
proceeded:
al remember a funny experience
which came under my observation
when l was doing the West some years
ago. [ was young in the business then,
but had snap | used to work the
cities with.
1.-THE hotel was stopping at in Chi
cago was filled with fakir boarders,
and next to my room was young fell
low who used to walk around on
crutches. He always carried a sad
face with him and made good living
by seating himself in a conspicuous
public place with a stock of cheap lead
pencils which he sold to sympathetic
purchasers.
Zone day returned to the hotel
little later than usual, and going to my
room heard a fearful racket coming
from the next apartment. / thought
the house was coming down, but upon
investigation found the lame fakir
doing song and dance with as much
gusto and ease as professional min
strel man. He explained to me that
he was only Strengthening out his leg.
"Do you know it was once custom
with the candy-butchery department
of road circus to buy up all the s.
cent pieces they could get hold OFF"
said the fakir once more. ''Well, it
was, my boy. and I'll tell you, when
ever Scent piece would 90 for dime,
the butchers always made seven cold
cents out of the deal.
Farmers who came to the country
town to see the circus, and always
bought glass of rosy red lemonade,
were the people taken in by this
racket. While don't believe in any
such methods as these, / am not averse
to giving the people the razze-dazzle
for an enormous profit. Got some
thing now that | sell to merchants.
Cost me SO cents. Get 81 for it every
time. Robbery, amt itp"

UGANDA.
The Wickedest King in the World De-
posed from His Throne.

II the report which comes from Fan
zibar is true, says the New York San,
Mwanga, the young despot of Uganda,
who in two years has earned a repu-
tation for cruelty and bloodshed not
excelled even by that of deposed King
Thebaw of Burmah, has been violent
ly removed from the seat of power his
ancestors have held for seventeen
generations and his brother now reigns
in his place. Whether this news bodies
good or evil to the four or five mis-
sionaries of England and France now
in Uganda can not yet be told.
This young man is only % years old,
has had much to do with shaping some
events in which the whole world has
been deepl INTERESTED. If he had not
for the first time since Spoke discov-
cred the greatest of African lakes,
closed the route north from Victoria
Nyanza to Lake Albert against all
white men, Emin Pasha would never
have lacked ammunition and there
would have been no Stanley relief ex-
petition. 1t was the narrowing story
of Mwanga's great slave raids, in
which he employed thousands of his
soldiers for the purpose of supplying
his Arab friends with all the poor
bondsmen they desired, that gave an
impetus to the anti-slavery agitation
which has produced the blackade OF
the East African coast and is the talk
of every capital in Europe.
Mwanga has been described by the
white men at his court as frivolous,
weak, cowardly boy, easily led by his
favorites, extremely passionate, and
capable under the influence of fear or
anger, of almost unheard-of cruelty.
He signalized his accession to power
by the atrocious murder of Bishop
Harrington, and it was his hope to
destroy in week all the converts the
missionaries had made in six success
full years of labor. The heroism and
fortitude with which scores of the ma
tive Christians, many OF them mere
children, met death at the stake is
hardly surpassed in the annals of mar
trydom. Not one of them recanted,
even when told that their lives would
be spared if they abjured the Christians
faith. ''Can you readP" was the ques-
ton the king usually asked the con-
verts when the were brought before
him. "Yes," replied all who had been
taught in the native schools. "I'll
have no readers in Uganda" the king
would shout as he hurried them off to
be chaiped to trees and burned. IN

Against Overshoes.

The tendency on the part of men to
abandon the use of umbrellas and de-
pend on the macintosh for protection
from rain has a counterpart in the
lately developed habit of many men to
give up the use of rubber overshoes.
Undoubtedly there are more "rubbers,"
"goloshes" or gums" as you prefer
to call them, made now than a few
years ago, but all the same there are
thousands of men IN New York now
who don't wear OVershOes who did
wear them several years ago.
81 won't wear an overshoe," says a
man who is out in all kinds of weather,
''for I've tried both plans, and find it
healthier to 90 without them. Six
years ago / wore rubbers even in a
summer rain, but to-day | won't wear
them even in such wet weather as we
have had of late. The overshoe is
cumbersome. If you go within doors
and wait for even ten minutes or more
without taking off the rubber shoes
the effect will be unpleasant. You
may not have headache that night,
but if for a number of days you cover
your leather shoes with the impervious
kubOtlS anu hCCp IhO vi LII
length of time the chances are nine
out of ten that you will get to feeling
dull and have sick headache. Be-
sides, if your overshoe gets cut on the
sole while in use it is apt to get full of
water or slush and subject your shoes
to such soaking that the leather will
be ruined or you will have wet feet"
"How do you get along without rub
bersp"
"Have good thick-soled shoes, with
soft, durable uppers. See that the
shoe is oiled when new, and once a
month afterward. Don't have so much
oil put on that it will be hard to poll
ish; in fact, the oil must be used only
to make the leather pliable. Wear
these shoes on Monday if it rains or
shines. Have another pair for Tues
day. Have another pair for Wednes-
day. Then on Thursday wear the first
pair, on Friday the second. on Satur-
day the third pair, and then begin all
over again. Always have three pairs
of shoes in constant use. Don't wear
any pair two days in succession. If it
rains, go out feeling that the thick
leather will throw off the water; be
wise enough to avoid puddles, change
your shoes at night and you won't need
rubbers, you won't have colds, you
won't have headaches, and you'll be
happier in many ways. The heavy
soled shoes may cost little more than
those you are now wearing, but the
difference will be saved by the giving
up of from three to six pairs of rub
bers used in year. Even if the anti
rubber system should cost trife more
you can afford it, for the miserable
effect of the rubbers upon the circula-
ton of the blood in your feet will be
done away with, and that is worth
naYing for.

age and presence of mind, my eyes
would never have opened upon this
world again. Twice I had sunk; the
third time l rose near the boat. By
that time it had filled with water so
that Thyra's body was completely SUBJ
merged, and she was clinging to the
edge But unmindful that by so do
ing she was lessening her sole remain
ing chance of safety, she grasped my
dress and held on to me until, her
strength becoming exhausted, she, too,
sank.
But Ralph was there. A moment
more and he would have been too late.
As it was, it was only with infinite diff
iculty that the rescue was accom-
plished.
And so, after all, lived for Ralph
instead of dying for him.
