The King of Dahomey.

The king of Dahomey is a man of edu-
cation and accomplishments. He was
reared in Paris. and much money was
spent and careful attention lavished
upon his instruction. But in an evil
hour he fell in love with Partisan beau
ty, and because she would not have him
the young man made up his mind that
the life of barbarian was preferable to
that of civilized and enlightened be-
ing. He babe eternal adieu, therefore,
to the classics, the arts and the sciences,
and zealously set himself to the pursuit
of barbarian career. His most remark
able reform as king of Dahomey was to
surround himself with bodyguard of
strapping women, regular amazons who
rode horseback man fashion, used the
bow and spear and welded the battle
AK with singular dexterity. His majesty
has theory that these women are bet
ter fighters than men, and are more like
ly TO be loyal 10 his interests A contin-
gent of these amazons is to be brought
to London soon and shown to the public
in the French exhibition now in course
of preparation in that city. = Berlin

and its GOODNESS has its drawbacks.

The black line, like fly on bald

Hi. Hair Like a Circassian Girls.

Charles r. Cummins, Of Montague,
Lewis county, is freak, in that he has
a head of hair like that of the Grcassian
girl Of side show fame, and is going to
join circus Mr.. Cummins is a son of
Foss Cummins, and was born TN Oct.
10, 1852. He has always resided in Lewis
county and is a farmer by occupation.
His hair, unlike that of his four brothers,
has always been very heavy and curly,
and for this reason has been kept closely
cut. Six months ago lady friend per-
suaded him to let his hair grow to a suit
able length, in order that she might be
provided with frizzes that would not
have to undergo the curling iron process
occasionally. Inside of three months the
hair had grown about three inches and
was hard to manage, but the growth was
allowed to continue, and now the hair
will average seven inches in length. 1t
is, in all respects, as before stated, SINH
lar to that of the Circassian girl, and
Mr.. Cummins being unable TO find hat
large enough, is compelled to go bare
headed. The hair is as fine as silk, dark
brown in color and inclined to CURL

Inspection of summer Resorts.

In choosing a resort for summer one
does not omit questions as to how far il
is TO church or station, whether o'clock
dinner is served or there are spring mat
tresses on each couch-matters Of jrst
interest and comfort. But add such per-
tinent inquiries as these: Do you serve
oatmeal or cracked wheat for breakfast?
Can have brown bread and fruit three
times dayf Have you a water filter in
good condition? How far is the well or
the water supply from the cesspool and
drains? And last, but not least, have
you well ventilated earth closet? All
boarding houses and summer resorts
should be visited monthly by sanitary
inspector with power to enforce neces-
sary improvements for the health of in
mates The Catskills and the north
shore demand supervision in this way
just as much as Mulberry street, Baxter
street and South Fifth avenue, those
flowers of the slums.-Shirley Dare in

Ed. NORTHERNER: The East Ar
lington Farmers association held its
quarterly meeting at Mr.. and Mrs.
Julian Sheldon's Dec. 18th. The morn
was spent in social chat. After a
sumptuous meal we wendell our way to
the barns to view stock and premises.
Mr. s. has made some improvements
since our last meeting there, among
them an addition to his sheep-fold. He
has very fine flock of sheep, and is
crossing with full blood Shropshire.
His horses are of the Norman grade
and good class. Cattle are with him
as with so many others in this county;
fancy stock much neglected. On re-
turning to the house the meeting was
called to order by the President. A
paper was read by Mrs. A. Blakelidge.
Then followed the election of officers; a
few questions from the query box were
read and dicussed and the meeting adj.
journed. The next meeting will be
held at the residence of Mr.. and Mrs
Isaac Monroe, the second Thursday in
March.

Lost His Clothes.

A well known young calico jerker for
dry goods house in this city secured q
bewitching bathing costume from below
few days ago, and privately informed
few of the boys that he was going up
the creek to "wet it" on the following
night, and that was just Where he was
wrong. Whether the boys were Jealous
or whether they objected to the devia-
ton fem long established rules of Chico
swimming holes we cannot determine;
at any rate they laid for their comrade
when he appeared in his gay pink and
white costume.
The wetting was all right, but when
he came in out of the wet he found TO his
horror that his store clothes had disap-
peared, and all search was unavailing.
He sat around bewailing his fate, and
finally struck tor home just as he was

Der of the urchins of the burg, and when

"You get nickel if You hit it in the

arrival his clothes neatly done up in a
bundle and an explanatory note from

Cisterns.

After a summer drought all water
tanks and cisterns should be examined,
and if need be repaired: but in every
instance well and carefully cleansed be-
fore being allowed to fill up again with
water. Mischief is done and disease in
duced and propagated by the use of bad
water, because the sediment, if not
washed out, becomes mingled with every
fresh influx of water. A very general
and most virulent and fatal epidemic OF
diphtheria and severe attacks of typhoid
fever have been known to be produced
by the neglect Of this essential duty.
The necessity for frequent cleansing OF
cisterns cannot be too strongly insisted
on.-Hall's Journal of Health.

Fruit Instead OF Flowers.

'Send fruit to your departing friends
on steamers instead of flowers" said the
purser Of an Atlantic flyer. Fruit is
never so delicious as when eaten on the
water, and with the new refrigerators it
can be kept perfectly fresh from shore to
shore. The flowers wither over night,
and are tossed overheard as soon as pos
sible after their fragrance has been
sucked up by the salty air."-New York

A SDeckled Lobster.

Captain Robert Staplins, a lobster fish
erman of Stonington, Conn, caught in
one of his pots just outside of Fishers
Island, on Saturday lobster with yellow
and red spots of the brightest hue all
over its body. The lobster was viewed by
men who have been engaged in the capture
of Holsters their entire life, but none had
ever before seen anything similar. 1t
weighed about one and half pounds,
and the spots were regular in size and
shape. Not only was the body decorated.
but the claws and legs were as specified
as a turkeys egg .-Philadelphia Ledger.

SaIutation Is Enough This Weather.


A down town physician advises: Dur
ing the hot weather we are having now
people should be careful with whom
they shake hands. The moisture from
one hand may possess the poison from a
disease. The pores of the skin are open
and this poison may be communicated
easily. There isn't much sense in this
indiscriminate hand shaking, anyway.
The Americans indulge too much in
the habit. We shake hands with every
stranger to whom we may be intro
duced, and shake hands again five min
utes later on separation. We perhaps
never see the person again, and have no
interest in that person beyond being
civil out of compliment to the one who
introduces. This indiscriminate hand
shake is nuisance. and besides, as l
said at the start, it is dangerous this
sort of weather.-Chicago Tribune.
