He Didn't Hear.

Colonel Chapman was a moneyed
old fellow who made friends among
many of the young fellows of lis
town. lie rarely hesitated to let one of
them have little money any time he
should happen to need a few dollars
temporarily, and so good was his
judgment of human nature that he
rarely made a mistake. One day he
was approached by young man of
questionable honesty He pretented
to be very busy at his desk, but the
young fellow did moi notice it.
"Colonel,' he began, "I'd like to
borrow $40 from you for a few
DAYS"
The old fellow did not look up. "'''
"whats that?' he said brusquely,
al didn't hear you"

reconsidering his proposition, ''to bor-
row 500 of you for week"

The Africa Pygmies.

The name of dwarfs, applied by
some to these pee ,le, has been OBJ
jected to as implying deformity or ar
rested growth, and therefore convey
ing wrong impression. Nothing of
the kind can be SAID Of the African
Pvgmies, who, though of short stat
ure, are uell-shape.l people of per-
normal fol- latloa. It is true
Dhe Hc'.-r'sla pna Bushmeo
show certain strange anatomical PEE
culiarities; but these may be said to be
more or less accidental, being, in part
at least, the result of special and un-
favorable conditions of life.
The pygmies are nomadic in their
habits, and neither keep cattle nor till
the ground, but live by hunting and
snaring wild animals and birds, or,
under the most favorable circum-
stances, on wild fruits, roots and
berries. Their weapons are always
bows and arrows, the latter usually
poisoned-the resource of the weak.
They have no fixed abode, and, if
they build shelters to all, only con-
struct rude huts of branches. They
have no government, nor do they form
regular communities; they usually
wander about, like our gypsies, in
hordes composed Of a few families
each.
This, however, depends on the ma
ture of the country-in the parched
deserts of the south they are not even
united to his extent. Sometimes they
are to certain extent dependent on
more powerful tribes, who afford them
protection in return for certain SER
vices. Their notions of the Unseen,
when they have any, would appear to
be of the very cudest. Their Ian
guages seem to be distinct from others,
related among themselves, and very

hold of the bicycle awkwardly and
trundled it out to the middle of the

life and Death.

Waeu life was life in days long hence
And death was death, as all men knew,
Then no one asked the why or whence,
Aud each to either gave his due;
Then one beside the other grew.
But science came with mystic band
And bound the old within the new.
For life and death go hand in hand.
And now we feel the subtle sense
OF life-in-death, that thrills us through.
And long with hearts and sons intense
The coil Of fate to swift undo.
To pierce the secret of the blue
Far inches OF the skyey land,
And hope and dread our spirits WOO
For life and death go hand in hand.
We strive to reason-ysin pretense;
We search, yet find no hidden clue,
The veil Of Isis meets us dsnse
And no one knows the false or true;
Like ships adrift without a crew,
We blindly seek an unknown strand.
But see no beacon blaze in view,
For life and death go hand in hand.
ENVOY.
Prince, wise beyond your years are you,
Yet doubt if you understand
The difference between the two,
For life and death go hand in hand.

Absurd Russian Snnerstitlons.

The most absurd superstitions are
rife in Russia. At Serpookhoy, neal
Moscow, an official announcement was
recently placarded at the street corner
The common people are unable tc
read. They requested a man, who
looked like priest, to decipher fol
them the contents of the bill. He iii.
hesilatingly and positively declared
that it contained the warning that the
city of Serpookhov would be swal-
lowed in the ground. In less than al
hour the news spread throughout the
place, and the people abandoned theii
work and began streaming out into the
fields in large crowds. All the facto'
ries were deserted by the laborers. L
was some time before the frightened
cscwds were restored to reason and tc
heir regular pursuits, but the origin
ator of the trouble could not be found

The Man and the Smasher.

While we were waiting at Trenton
for the Long Branch train lot of
baggage had to be transferred. The
manner in which it was handled ex-
cited the indignation of a score of pas
sengers, but no one wanted a "scene"
and no protests were made until the
last trunk was reached. 1t was an
ordinary zinc trunk, we'll strapped,
and stout enough to go around the
world with fair usage. The man on
the truck ended it up, gave it twist
and fling, and it struck on end with
crash and burst open. The owner
had been quietly surveying operations,
and as the climax came he stepped for
ward and asked:
"How much viii it take to repair
that truuk?'
"Blamedfno," was the reply, fol-
lowed by a chuckle.
"Then will post you in your busi-
ness" quietly remarked the passen-
ger.
He was solid, broad-shouldered
man; with one grab he had the bag
gageman by the hip and shoulder and
held him aloft as if he had been
bundle of hay.
"What's the damage?' he asked as
he prepared for heave.
"Here stop hold on-don't!"
shouted the terrified destroyer of bag
gage.
"What's the damage to my trunk
