graph operators at O. 000 each, three telephone
operators at $500 each, one expert repairman
at $3.50. two repairmen at e720 and two laborers
at s4o0. For general supplies, repairs. extern
sion OF telegraph and telephone service and
other necessary items he recommends an ap-
preparation Of sl4.0O0.
The increase in amount over that appro-

crease OF running expenses as result Of largely
increased service, estimated at 81 100. Second
Twenty-Five new fre-slarm boxes and an equal
number Of call boxes and Ave registers for
patrol service. which, he thinks, should be
purchased and put in service. These fifty five
new instruments, he says, gives the sum of
$4,000. and - all Of them will be needed they
ought, in his judgment be to provided for. The
Commissioners will embody his estimates in

The SOlnalS.

The Somals are "kittle cattle" to deal
with. Armed to the teeth with spears.
daggers and clubs, they are equally skill
full and reckless in the use of them. The
men live to fight and to talk; what work
gets done is done by the women. Tribal
wars are incessant; sanyuinary social
quarrels are of everyday occurrence, and
if death seldom ensues, it is because the
clansmen on either side are Jealous to
separate the combatants before the fine
for homicide, borne in common by the
relatives of a manslayer, is incurred.
Camel driving is almost the only form of
masculine industry, yet it does not ap-
pear that time hangs heavy on the Somal's
hands. Hairdressing and dycing for ne
aspires to blonde chevelure) agreeably
occupy good deal of it; and his por-
tentous and inexhaustible loquacity is
often indulged at the expense of sleep.
Ethnologically, the Somals may be de-
scribed as Arabized Gallas. Although
not aboriginal, since traces of a prior
tumulus- building and fish-cating people
abound near the coast, they have prob
ably occupied their present territory for
some millenniums. Through the ex-
ample of Greek merchants trading to
Mosylon for myrrh and ivory, the Somals
substituted for partial clothing of skins
(Which even now survives among some
of their outcasts) the dignifed "sagum
Arsinoeticum;" and their present national
costume is perhaps the most purely
classical to be met with outside the
sphere of antique statuary. 1t consists,
for men and women alike, of "tobe," !"
or straight piece of cotton cloth (printed,
or white with a crimson border) two
breadths wide aud some twelve feet long,
draped in graceful folds about the body
aud fastened on the left shoulder. San
dals are worn on the feet, strings of
gaudy beads about the neck, amulets in
the most suitable situations for warding
off malefc influences. The physiognomy
of this people is of high type, debased
by the brutality of ages. The color Of
their skin runs through all the shades of
brown. Their figures are tall and slender,
yet strong and we'll poised. They are
often skilled in horsemanship and adopts
in elephant hunting, yet, through dig
nifty or laziness, employ low-caste tribes
armed with poisoned arrows, to bring
down their game.-Edinbu,yh ROie0.

Knocked Out By q Flying Fish.

Persons who nave not experienced
some seafaring among the West India ISL
ands and become to some extent famil-
iarized with the tricks and antics of
the flying fish which abound in these
waters will be surprised at the velocity
they attain in their short flights. The
fish will never leave the water unless
compelled to do so by their natural enc
mics, the dolphins, and when they do fly
they shoot through the air like rocket.
Some years ago, while on voyage to
Rio Janeiro, had an experience of the
Cuban coast with a flying fish that I am
not likely to forget, and which made me
the subject of considerable merriment
among my older companions. The ma
jority of them were old sailors who had
visited these waters many times before
and were we'll acquainted with the tricks
of the winged fish.
They prefer flying at night, and it
was during the midnight watch that l
met with my adventure. The night was
one of those balmy evenings peculiar to
sub-tropical waters, seldom if ever expe-
rienced in the north. The full moon
was shining so brightly thst one could
almost feel its rays. The breeze had fall
en- away completely, allowing the sails to
flap lazily against the sPars in accompan-
imcnt to the monotonous squeaking of
the vessel as she wallowed lazily in the
trough of the long ground swell. As far
as eye could reach around the horizon
not a ripple was visible on the surface of
the sea. The very elements appeared to
be slumbering. The whole watch, with
the exception of the man at the wheel
and I, were gathered around the comb
ings of the forehatch gambling away
their tobacco, spinning yarns and smok-
ing. I was seated up on the capstan on
the "look- but the somnolence of
the very atmosphere itself kept me in q
drowsy state just between waking and
sleeping. This. together with the mu-
steal chirping of the Smother Carey's
chickens" in the forerigging, proved too
much for my feeble efforts at wakcful-
ness, and several times I came within an
ace of falling overheard. This continued
until near the end of my watch, when as
peacefully dozed off I heard sudden
"swish, "and before I was aware of what
had happened, l received terrible blow
between the eyes, the force of which
knocked me off the capstau over the
windlass and down to the deck among
the players. Ileaped up, seized a Delaying
pin and demanded to know who hit me.
My answer was burst of laughter, and
one of the men pointed to the top-gal-
liant forecastle at large flying fish flap.
ping on the deck. It had struck me
while flying over the ship, and raised a
lump the size of hens egg between my
eyes. We fried the fish the next morn

THE PREACHER AND THE BELLMAN.

In the Christian we find the following
quoted from the narrative which Charles
Stanley gives of his experience OH one occa-
sion:
'T was crossing the country one day from
Bristol, where / had been preaching, to Tet-
bury. had never been in that part Of the
country before. On arriving at Wotton-un-
der-Edge, had some time to spare before
going on. It was about D o'clock on not
Gay in the midst of harvest. There was
scarcely person to be seen in the little
town. was very distinctly impressed from
the Lord that must preach the gospel there
that af1rnoon, vet there appeared to be no
people to preach to. Nearly all seemed to be
out in the harvest field. Yet the conviction
deepened that must preach.
I took few tracts and gave them where l
could find any one. l was standing in lit
tie shop, speaking to a woman about hef
soul.when man came running up the road,
the perspiration streaming off his face. He
turned into the shop. and said: 'Plccse; sir;
are YOU preacher Of the gospeH Yes ]
said, Il am, through the Lords mercy, but
why do you ask% lie replied, I am the bell
man, and if you will preach the gospel here
today will cry it, Well said, 1T was
very much laid on my heart to preach here
today, but do not see any to preach to.
Tell me, how is it you came in such haste
and asked me the question:
''He replied, Il was working in the field,
and woman came past and told me some
one was distributing tracts in Wotton, and
it was Just as if voice had said to me, You
must run and there must be preaching in
Wotton to-day. That is why left my work,
and came Immediately
GAS he was the bellman, I involuntarily
put my hand in my pocket to give him
shilling. ooh, dear no, SIR he said, i don't
want the money, want souls to be saved;
and the earnestness and solemnity Of the
man confirmed his words. In half an hour
he had washed himself, cried the preaching,
and we were on the way to the Chipping to
preach"
The prayers are, for the most part, very
earnest, thoughtful and importunate. 1haye
been greatly benefited by them and made
strong for duty by listening to the child-like
confidence with which our heavenly Father
was addressed by these sincere supplants.
One evening this petition fell upon my
ear with a peculiar and strange force. One
of the girls was proving for wisdom and
Gods help in their studies, and used this
expression: go Lord, brighten our intel
lects." What does that not reveaR thought
I. To whom could she go but to the Great
Being who is Wisdom and Strength?
"Brighten our iutellects!" which have
been clouded by ignorance and superstition,
by years Of bondage imposed upon us by our
fellowmen o God, wilt thou not hear and
answer this prayer graciously-even exceed
ingly and abundantly above all we ask or
think.

GODS UNcHANGING LOVE.

At the very moment that these words fall
beneath the eyes Of their many readers. hun
dr. ds OF them are in some visible and bur-
dersome trial or perpleXity. Grief has been
approaching with inevitable step; loss and
business perplexity have deepened; mis-
understanding and cstrangement have en-
bittered the passing days; children have
gone amiss and clouded the hopes resting
upon them; increasing age seems not rich,
but barren; or men and women are burdened
with that neycr-dying sense Of unworthi.
ness, of talents boarded, not improved, Of
lives selfshly incomplete.
The one thing constant in crosses is the
love of our ever-compassionate and pater-
ually pitiful God; the truth on which
charge may never como is ths gospel Of the
Son, which is the eternal embodiment of
affection from above, falling earthward and
of aspiration from below, rising heaven.
ward. There is no waking or sane instant
when we cannot get all the strength we
need from this unfailing source. There is
no instant of time in which the breath in
the lungs, the blood in the veins, is not
necessary to the simplest vital act; 80 there
is no time when the love Of God and the
undying message and mediatorship Of Jesus
Christ are not needful in the Christians
life, whether of joy or sadness. or greatness
or littleness, ofstrength or decline.-[sunday

coys WAY OF BLESSING THE WORLD.

How much of the worlds history that
tiny Golfer among the reeds held! How diff
ferent that history would have been if, as
might easily have happened, it had Aoated
away, or if tile feeble life within 1t had
walled itself dead unheard! The solemn
possibilities folded anil slumbering in an
infant are always awful to thoughtful
mind. But. except the manager at Bethle-
hem, did cradle ever hold the seed Of so
much as did that papyrus chest? The set OF
opinion at present minimizes the importance
of the individual and eXalts the spirit Of the
period, as factor in history.
Standing beside Miriam, we may learn
truer view, aud see that epochs require
great men, and that without such for lead
srs, no solid advance in the worlds pro-
yress is achieved. Think Of the strange
cradle floating on the Nile, then think OF
the strange grave among the mountains OF
Moab, and Of all between, and ponder the
same lesson as is taught in yet higher fash
ion by Bethlehem and Calvary. that Gods
way Of blessing the world is to fill men with
his message, and let others draw from them.
Whether it be the "law," or "graee and
TRUTH" man is needed through whom 1t
may fructify to al'.-[Dr. Alexander Mac

Where Marbles Are Made.

Marbles are made in great quantities in
Saxony for export to India, China and
the United States. A hard calcareous
stone is used. This is broken into square
blocks, and about one hundred and fifty
of these blocks are thrown into mill, in
which is fiat slab of stone with numer.
Gus concentric burrows on It's face. A
block of oak of the same diameter as the
stone, part of which rests on the small
stones, is made to revolve on the slab
while water flows upon it. The whole
process requires but quarter OF an hour,
and one mill can turn out 30, 900 marbles
Il week. The mills at Oberstein, on the
Nahe, in Germany, manufacture marbles
and agates especially for the American
market Gicayo Herald.
