Primitive Intercourse.

Z. Andree has lately been collecting
information as to the use of signals by
primitive peoples, and the facts he has
brought together are summarized in
Science. It appears that American
Indians use rising smoke to give sig
mails to distant friends. A small fire is
started, and as soon as it burns fairly
well grass and leaves are heaped on
the top of it. Thus large column of
steam and smoke arises. By covering.
the fire with a blanket the Indians in
terrupt the rising of the smoke at reg
ular intervals, and the successive
clouds are used for conveying mes.
sages.
Recently attention has been call ed
to the elaborate system of drum sig
nails used by the CAMERON ne groes, by
means of which long messages are sent
from village to village. Explorations
in the Congo basin have shown that
this system prevails throughout central
Africa. The Bakuba use large wood
en- drums, on which different tones are
produced by two drumsticks. Some
times the natives converse in this
way for hours, and from the energy
displayed by the drummers, and the
rapidity OF the successive blows, it
seemed that the conversation was very
animated.
The Gala, south of Abyssinia, have
drums stationed at certain points OF
the roads leading to the neighboring
states. Special Watchmen are appoint
ed, who have to beat the drum on the
approach of enemies Ceochi. who
observes this custom, designated it as
a system of telegraphs, = The same
use of drums is found in New Guinea.
From the rhythm and rapidity of the
blows the natives know at once whether
an attack, a death. or a festival is an
nounced. The same tribes use columns
OF smoke or Cat night fires to convey
messages to distant friends. The lat
ter are also used in Australia. Col
umns of smoke of different forms are
used for signals by the inhabitants of
Cape York and the neighboring
island.
In Victoria hollow trees are filed
with fresh leaves, which are lighted.
The signals thus made are understood
by friends. In eastern Australia the
movements Of traveller are made
known By columns of smoke, and so
was the discovery OF whale in Port
land bay.

Peach Blossoms.

A waving forest Of bloom,
Pink as the rosy flush
OF some fair maiden's blush,
While the air is all purfume.
All the land coasleatr de rose,
Down to Chesapeake's brink,
Waves and pillows of pink
To where the red sunset CLOVIS.
Midst skies of the deepest blue
Soft clouds, like banks of cream,
In the warm sunlight CLEAN,
And blend with the rosy hue
From the fower-laden trees
Showers of dainty pink
On beds of emerald sink,
When wakes the gentle south breeze.
No far-off tropical sea
Can boast a land so bright,
Glowing with color and light,
And glad with the hum of bees.

He Could Drive.

The first colonel Of the First Maine
cavalry was bluff John Goddard, an iron
sided old lumberman. Before the war
he used to take gangs Of men into the
woods every winter.
Late one fall in the "fifties" tall,
lank Yankee came into Col. Goddards
Office and asked for employment as a
teamster.
"Do YOU know how to drive oxeny
asked Goddard.
81 rather reckon do was the bash
full response.
Suppose I was yoke Of oxen," said
Goddard, getting down on "all tours" on
the Office floor, land suppose l would
not haul, let me see what You would do
to make me come up under the yoke"
The Yankee objected at first, but when
he was told that his winters work de-
pended upon the trial, he took the long
braided oaken OK goad and began to
flourish it over the kneeling Goddard's
head.
"IIish, Bright; get up there, Golden.
Come here, Star; geo off, Liru," he yell
ed in turn, but never move did God
dard make. Finally, getting weary, the
teamster inserted the steel brad into
Goddard's trousers. The coming cavalry
colonel got up in a hurry, and the
Yankee was hired at his own price,
proving the best teamster in the gang.
