cIeanIy savagss.

Cleanliness is a virtue which is not
supposed to be pracficed to any lsrge ex-
tent among uncivilized people. Il IS a
fact, however, that some savage tribes
are eleanly in their habits, and in this
respect are far Superior to many people
who live in civilized lands. In scores Of
African tribes the daily bath is regard As
a necessity Of life, and the first duty Of
the morning is to bathe in the river OF
little stream that flows near the native
village. Many Africans. also, never think
Of eating without washing their hands
and faces after their meal. This habit
Is widely practieed and has been observ-
ed not only among such advanced people
as the Waganda, but also among les
promising tribes on the Congo.
It may surprise some people to learn
tha. the use Of tooth-brushesi is known in
all parts Of Africa. The African IS noted
for his fine white teeth, but he does not
keep them white without an effort. The
tooth brush used by the native African
consists Of g short stick Of hbrous
wood, which is chewed until the fhres
at the end resemble bristles- The na-
tives spend considerable time rubbing
the end Of the little stick over their teeth
Mr.. Ashe says that the Wauyamwezi,
who have splendid tseth, seldom have
the brush out Of their mouths.
We would think it very hard lines If
we were compelled 10 keep clean with
out soap. But many Africans have their
soap, too, which, though it is sOfl and
rather dirty in appearance, answers the
purpose very we'll The Wsganda, for
instance, places ashes in plantain leaves
folded up in the form of funnel. Water
is poured in and is caught as lye in an
other vessel Then fat is added to the
I've and the whole mixture IS boiled
down The process isalm0st exactly the
same as that used in the manufacture Of
soft soap

at LAST reached a fatal termination at

patriotism terminated in suffering. When

You and could walk on eggs.
There he goes on his toes
Tickling baby nose.

Rainbows on his wings are spread,
That small spec is his neck,
See him nod and beck.

Where TO look 70 find his shoes.
Three small pairs made Of hairs
These he always wears-
Black and brown is his gown,
Asean wear il upside down.

Pretty as his clothes are made.
He will spoil them, I'm afraid.
Hto-night he gets tight

He can eat bread and meat,
There's his mouth between his feet,
On his back IS sack
Like peddler's pack.

Then the iiy shall kiss her hand,
Put 4 erdnb on her thumb.
Maybe he will come.
Round and rounl, on the ground
On the ceiling, he is found

Never hurt him, so.

Drabhled in the baby's milk.

Editor Morning Call: After hard, soak
ing rain the blue sky is seen, and we have
again crystal clear December" We are
all hoping it will not rain again until after
New Years day; then it may rain seven
days in the week and no one will care, for
January is always dull month. Business
is improving, the merchants say. and, rain
or not, next week will be busy one. There
will be fewer Christmas trees than usual in
the churches this year, but there will be
more in the homes Of private families.
Evergreens and red berries can easily be
had by going out in the woods just mile
or so from town. and we do not know what
it Is TO buy Christmas tree. 1t is BEGIN

dows, north and west, filed with growing
plants and draped with pretty curtains. A
bright carpet is on the floor. pictures are
hung on the walls, giving it more the air of
a family sitting-room than of public hall,
There are number Of tables. on which are
magazines, daily and weekly newspapers,
games. ETC., while around about are comfort
able chairs and lounges. The books are
well selected, but the shelves are not as full
as we would like to see them. Perhaps it is
not known that all donations of books, pa
pers, magazines, views and eRgravings are
thankfully received by the worthy ladies'
in charge. to whom this work Is Of no
personal benefit, and Is done for the public

The librarian is Mrs. Charles Hassett,

the mouse OF some member. Its object is
mutual improvement and social enjoyment,

Is line programme given, consisting o!
music and singing under the leadership OF
Paris Ferguson, recitations and readings.

YosEMITE's HIGH RATING.
Billy Jonathan, the trainer of the West
ern division of the Hearst stable, thinks that
the two-year-old colt Yosemite was the best
horse East at the close of the present season.
He believes Yosemite can beat Potomac.
Jonathan says his colt can go one mile or
ten sprint or stay, and that he will train on.
Yosemite showed up so well in his last
races that Albert Cooper, who trains the
main Hearst stable, kept him East, and
Jonathan did not bring him back to Cali
fnrnia with the rest of the Western string.
Yosemite is by Hyder Ali. out of Nellie
G, sister to Fred Collier. He was bred at
the Hearst San Simeon ranch. At the first
spring racing this year. the San Jose meet
ing. the4Hearst stable was present, with Yo-
semitic among the number.
CONSIDERED A GOOD ONE.
Although he did not start there his work
was so good and his general appearance so
taking that in the turf reports of THE CALL
he was very highly praised and the belief
expressed that he was the best Coast two
year-oId of the year. A brilliant future was
predicted for him. Yosemite started AT the
sprirg meeting OF the Blood Horse Associa-
ton at the Bay District Track but worn out
by repeated false starts and handicapped
nent in the race. The Stable thought well
of him then and believed he would win
easily. Yosemite shows the typical marks
of the Hyder Ali family very distinctly. the
gray hairs at the root OF the tail being re-
markably noticeable.
