Kamr Humor.

The Kaffir, of South Africa, in the
geological studies which are traditional
with him, is full of excellent humor, and
generally preference is given in his illus
tration to beasts and birds that lend
themselves to comic treatment. The
initiative faculty is not always of the
''proper'' order. Indeed, feel certain
that these pantomimic interludes, as
well as the dances INDUCED in by these
shrewd, if unsophiscated, children of
nature, would meet with immediate OPP
position by certain members of the city
council if offered for representation on
the boards of the London music halls.
The Kaffir lives for love and fighting.
They are the Alpha and Omega of his
existence. Life is full of JOY and excite
ment; death has for him no fear or ter
ror. The piccaninee hears the song OF
love across its mothers shoulder as she
croons her impromptu ditties, with her
companions working at the meahe tubs.
When he can toddle the boy is to be
found with his infantile comrades on the
sand heaps or in holes. with tiny ASA
gales, practicing the art of war. Round
the dark night fire the songs are chants
of adulation to the native representatives
of Mars and Venus, and encouragement
toward the emulation of their deeds.
Joy and humor, with fine flashes of
poetry, abound in these gatherings,
though the songs are, for the most part,
mpromptu, sung to the traditional and
iomewhat limited fund of music

japanese Lacquer Frauds.

The Japanese, until few years ago,
were renowned as a scrupulously honest
people. Now, however, they are as bad
as the Chinese. The heavy American
demand for their artistic productions,
and the large prices paid for the best OF
these, have corrupted their self-respect
and overcome their love of art. They
manufacture bogus ware of all descrip-
tons, but their chief swindles are in
fraudulent lacquers. Every one knows
the beautiful boxes and cabinets, with
their rich colors, fine gliding and bright
varnish, that are called lacquers in the
trade and form such beautiful decorative
objects. The lacquer varnish is made OF
the gum of peculiar tree, and it has the
property of resisting everything but fire.
A wooden bowl covered with old lac
quer will not be injured by being filed
with hot soup or boiled in water. In
deed, the japanese use such utensils in
their kitchens and on their tables. The
secret of old lacquer is, however, lost,
and modern ware of the kind is of the
poorest quality. The wood warps, the
varnish cracks and the colors are poor
and liable to change. Consequently
modern japanese lucquers have no special
value. Old lacquers, on the contrary,
are worth many times their weight in
gold, because they are as rare as they are
fine. 1t is no wonder, therefore, that
thousands of bogus old pieces of this sort
are annually palmed off on New York's
buyers, who think they are getting bar
gains, while they are, in fact, being
grossly defrauded by inscriptions

A MOUNTAIN OF PIES.
New York City Consuming 1000
pailY-some Startling Figures.

0~~-@y - 49, ~-~--t7 = .
New York produces and eats more pies
than any city in the world. There are
eight or ten large factories that make
nothing but pies, and there are five or six
hundred bakeries besides that deal exclu-
sively in them. The largest factory is on
Sullivan street. It's output of pie is some
thing awful to contemplate. One of the
foremen in the big factory in Sullivan
street said:
eve make every kind of pie that has
so far been discovered, but apple, mince,
lemon, pumpkin and custard are the IA
vorites.n
''How much material do you use in a
day."
1--WE use about 100 dozen eggs, $50
pounds of lard, 10 barrels of -four, 900
quarts of milk, $500 quarts of fruit, and
we turn out 1000 pies daily, or about
80, 900 week, or about $500, 900 a year.
The output from the large concerns in
the city will amount TO 80, 900 pies daily,
and the bakers will turn out about 40, 600
more, or $4,000 day, 525, 600 week,
and 100000 per year-an average OF
about 16 pies per capita. These pies, cut
lubO quar- Sib, b4C Usual oAlCS OteoiNN VI
boarding houses, would make 109, 200,-
600 pieces. At an average of five cents
-as some of the cheap restaurants
charge only three cents and tonier ones
ten cents-this would make New York's
annual pie bill S., AGO, 900, or more than
we pay for public schools, the Fire and
Police departments, or send 20 the
heather. New York produces about one
thirtieth of the pie crop of the United
States.o
These remarks reused the writer's stat
istical proclivities and he figured until
his brain was dizzy. These are some of
the results: In the United States there
are eaten every day 1880, 900 pies. Each
week, 10, $50, 900. Each year, $40, 000,-
600, at a total cost of $164, 900, 600 IAN
amount greater than the internal revenue
and more than enough to pay the inter-
est on the national debt. If the pies
eaten every day were heaped one on top
of another they would make tower
thirty seven miles high. II laid out in a
line they would reach from New York to
Boston. With the yearly pie product Of
the United States tower 10, 46s miles
high could be erected, and stretched in
line they would girdle the earth three
times These pies of a year would
weigh S03, 900 tons. And, if, as has
been so often stated, figures don't lie,
then certainly pie is great institution.

AS 100 YEARS AGO

The facetious part of the grip bust
ness has all been found in the neWspa-
pers. People who have been taken in
by it would be glad to shake it. They
have not discovered its funny qualitie 8.
1t has not improved or lost any of its
aggravations in a hundred years. No
newspaper files have been preserved to
show its operations in this part OF the
country in 1870, but the Indians about
Niagara had it bad and thought there
was witchcraft about, and it is proba-
bic that those in this section were not
avoided by the visitor. DR.. RUSH. of
Philadelphia, one of the signers of the
Declaration, Of Independence, and an
aminenI physician, described it in de-
tail in its visit in 1880, and says: ut
passes with the utmost rapidity through
a country and affects the greatest mum
Der of people in a given time of any dis
ease in the world.'' Ii has not lost any
of its speed or generosity as now noted.
1t was then most general along the sea-
shore. and that seems to be the present
fact. The doctor says a perpetual
coughing was heard in every street of
the city, and church services were
seriously disturbed There is more rev.
erenee for sacred places now. The per-
sons who died were mostly old people,
and those with pulmonary complaints
and hard drinkers. 1t run into pneu-
monia with them. The winter was I'M

a Shotgun JUDGE.

The Southerners are often twitted
about their shotgun policy, but 1t
should be borne in mind that Pennsyl-
vauia is the first state to give judicial
sanction to it. A Philadelphia Judge,
whose name is THAYER, was presiding
in the trial of case the other day where
man was attempting to recover dam
ages from city official who mad him
removed to smallpox hospital when
he only had the measles. The judge
Instructed the jury to give the plaintiff
his full claim for damages, and then
added that the city authorities had no
right to remove any man from his home,
whether he had smallpox or not, ard
imprison him in hospital. By way of
giving emphasis TO this opinion, the
Judge solemnly averred that if an Off
ciai visited his house for the purpose of
taking hun to hospital he would shoot
the officer on the spot.
That transcends the Southern shot
gun policy.
Down South the lawless and irrespon-
sible classes are the ones who usually
resort to the shotgun as remedial
agent. There is no record to show that
Southern judge ever advocated it from
the bench.
Pennsylvania can now go to the head
of the class as shotgun state.

duction of railroad rates the
Ontario millers find that the pres
ent duty is virtually swept away,
and they have no protection against the
American product. The duty on flour
and wheat protected the Dominion mill
crS and wheat growers as long as the
freight rates kept up. For instance, in
1915 the year before the tax was i'm
pos d. $4,000 barrels of -four were I'M
ported into Canada from the United
States. and nearly 100000 bushels of
wheat. The next year, when the tax
was collected, the importation fell Off to
dl.00J barrels of -four, and the wheat
supply was correspondingly reduced.
Last year, however. the reduced freight
rates went into effect, and the -four and
wheat importations ran up to nearly
what they were in 1873. This has
alarmed the Ontario miIlers. and they
will now besiege the OTTAWA parliament
with demand for an increase of the
tax tn 81 barrel on flour and 50 cents a
bushel on wheat, thus virtually eXclud-
ing the American product from the
Canadian market. Thus we see how
Readily our Dominion neighbors borrow
our American ideas to our own hurt.

TIMID NEWSPAPERS,

The Omaha papers are charged with
virtually ignoring the prohibition state
ar Interstate convention that met in
that city, on the theory that the move
ment was calculated to damage the city,
and the Republican denied an inhuen-
tial request to publish communication
containing the facts brought out'in the
convention, and frankly stated to the
parties that none of the papers would
publish anything about prohibition, as
it would be an injury to the place.
Something of boom was expected this
year, and there must be no water in its
way. With the bright and wide-awake
newspapers that city has. it is not under
stood how such narrow-groove notion
could be held. The boom looked for
must be regarded as remarkably timid
and fragile thug to be endangered by
the publication of local news in which
large proportion of the community
is interested. 1t has been supposed
that it was one of the imperative re-
quiremeutS of modern newspaper TO
publish the news. In fact. it is not up-
derStoOd how any publication can claim
to be primarily newspaper if it allows
its editorial columns to dictate to the
news department. A city that can be in
jured by the fact that conventions are
held in 1t that do not reflect the views of
the masses of the citizens, is certainly a
very peculiar composition. Ouaha has
not been suspected to be of that class.
There would hardly be serious sus-
picion that it would declare for prohibit
ton, if its papers were independent
enough to publish the legitimate news
pertaining to that persuasion.

FORT SMITH, Ark, Jan. 16.-Harris
Austin, John Billy, Sam Goen, Jane
son Burros, Thomas Willis and James
Jones were hanged here at noon to-day
for murders committed in the Indian
territory. After religious services the
culprits were handcuffed, and u:4O
O'Clock were marched to the galloWs. A
great crowd had gathered, but none
were allowed to witness the execution
except reporters, guards and physi-
clans. The doomed men marched
firmly, and were steady and
quiet on the scaffold while the
details were being arranged. Their
limbs were pinioned, and, after the
nooses were adjusted all of them con-
fessed their crime. acknowledged the
justice of their punishment, and said
they were ready to die. The black CAPS
were then drawn, and just as the town
clock struck IL the trap was sprung, and
the six meu shot down and reb0unded
violently. A deep groan, two or three
commissions, and all was still. Every
neck had been broken. Sam Goen and
Jameson BurroS were hanged for the
murder of Houston joyce, a young
white man, in December, 1888, naar

stopped at BurroS' house for dinner. and
after leaving the house was Intercepted
by BurroS and Goen, who told him they
intended to kill him. He begged pite-
ously for life, but without avail. Both
fired bullet into Joyce'S back, and
he fell dead. Goen and Burns were ar
rested four months later, and not only
confessed the crime, but told of killing
white man several years ago. Both
were under twenty years of age. John

sNoWLEss WINTERS.

The last cold wave came from Texas
an evidence that the South has been
reconstructed Oh Northern basis. But,
unlike Our old time Northern storms, it
brought very little snow with it. 1t is
really getting to be serious question,
with all these climatic changes going
on, whether or not the beautiful snow
is to be entirely eliminated from the
winter season. SnewlesS winters are
becoming the rule, and not the excep-
ton, as i'll former years. Nor is this
fact peculiar to this hemisphere. Even
in Northern Russia, which usually lies
under bed of snow from three to six
feet deep at this season oil the year, the
ground is bare. Iii the central part of
Europe. as well as in the middle states
of this country, the dandelions are
blooming, the naples are budding,
and the lilacs are putting out
their leaves. 1t used to be that
mild winter on this hemisphere
produced an opposite effect on the
other hemisphere. But like all other
old ideas, this one has passed away,
and we are living under an entirely new
climatic regime. What are the causes
of this modification of the conditions
governing the temperature OF the whole
world? Has our orb moved into new
place in space? Or is the earth for any
reason being subjected to greater
amount OF heat, and, if so, what are the
reasons? These are all interesting
questions. We still have occasional
cold spells, but they are not of long
duration, yet we are failing to have the
old-fashloned SHOWS we once enjoyed.
