And under the name of the independent

Belgian administration, and it entered
fully equipped into the family of nations.
There is within its area, which, as said, is
tEirty-three times that Of Belgium, a poDIi-
latiOn of 40 whites, about one-half state
officials and employees, and the estimated
number of natives within its borders is
about 40,0O0,000; and in the whole Congo
basin is estimated at about 100000
Africa is about three times the area of
Europe, or 100000 square miles, and
some writers estimate it TO contain
about an equal population-325,O 600, OG0
souls. The enormous trade developing
there comes mainly from the narrow sell
wage which separates the mountains from
the sea. 1t is great basin, composed Of

Here comes the opera bouffe queen. She
orders the luncheon for her crowd as she
is very flush just now. There is a royal

friend. A woman goes out looking very
flushed in TIE face, and jokes with one of the
walters as she passes him. There is an in

women and a bright man, a magazine

Upstairs again for the final race. She
has had tip from a woman who can pick

and who won 500 last summer at Sara

out for the apartments of her dearest wo-
man friend. She is at once shown into the
dainty bed room where her friend stands
before her lace draped toilet table covered
with fat pincushions and silver brushes
and things putting the powder on her
saucy little nose, but stopping long enough
TO inform the newcomer that she is hope
less idiot for going and that she will wish
she were dead before she reaches the grand
stand.
However, as the young woman persists
in her infatuation the friend agrees to die
with her. So she climbs into her smart
gray satin coat, her maid ties the small
gray suede shoe, she coveTtly thrusts her
red velvet powder rag into her pocket and
some money in her purse, and states that
she is now ready to be grilled alive.
They get down one flight of stairs. Good
gracious! I've forgotten the tickets" and

again, and the little woman, announcing
that probably there isn't a house in town
so renowned for whOoping, yells up the
stairs for her big black fan. Down it
comes in the small hands upstretched to
receive it, and once more they set out. This
time it is not false start. They board a
boulevard car, for they must stop at the
Grand Central depot for an imbecile fe-
male who has misunderstood directions
and who has telegraphed she will meet
them there at 1880.
But she is not there. Of course not. Who
ever knew a woman to be at a place at
given time? They rush through the great
depot looking wildly around for an escaped
female; they tackle the guards and ask if
they have seen a woman in a mauve gown
with black lace hat. The men grin sheep
ishiy and say No" and as it is now l
o'clock they conclude that the third woman
may go to the demnition bowwows, and
once more turn their faces toward the

up to Harlem and then, as they descend
the stairs, they are surrounded by the hack
drivers, who beg and beseech for the ines

the charner. "a quarter apiece" says the
man in shirt sleeves who assists them into

Blue blood boils at the thought, and seeing
a neat hanson approaching they signal st,
and amid perfect velley of yells, curses
and representations tho disdainfuliy leave
the 'barouche" and drive proudly away in
the cab, vain as peacockS to think they

A Nyodern Need for sInen-

There IS not one man or woman in ten
thousand who can afford to do without
seven or eight hours sleep. All those
stories written about great men and women
who slept only three or four hours a night
make very interesting reading; but | tell
you, my readers, no man or woman ever
yet kept healthy in body and mind for a
number of years with less than seven
hours sleep. Americans need more sleep
than they are getting. This lack makes
them SO nervous and the insane asylums so
populous. Ii you can get to bed early
then rise early. If you cannot get to bed
till late then rise late. 1t may be as
Christian for one man to rise at 8 as it is
for another to rise at s. | counsel NV
readers to get up when they are rested
But let the rousing bell be rung at least
thirty minutes before your public appear
ance. Physicians say that a sudden jump
out of bed gives irregular motion to the
pulse. 1t takes hours to get over too
sudden rising. Give us time after YOU call
us to roll over, gaze at the world full in
the face and look before we leap.-T. De

speeds him home, and a prominent comic
opera star in the box next theirs is open

dreds of men present who are better

singers in the next box. The star who has

sadly unbecoming The girl next her
looks as if she had just stepped out of a
kitchen and another is as dark as the
queen Of spades. How different from the

side sits handsome snowy haired, black
eyed man, well known broker, and our
girl smiles wickedly as she remembers the
story Of one of his escapades at the sea
shore. The snowy woman with him is not
his wife, but the wife of his friend
See the gorgeous raiment of that woman
yonder Solomon in all his glory would
be nothing beside her, while the best
dressed woman present, as far as our girl
can see, Is one who wears dove gray cloth
gown and gray tuIle bonnet, with a cluster
of violets Nesting in its fluffy folds. On
her shapely breast is knot of violets, and
she daintisy holds gray silk parasol by its
silver handle.
"See my racing handkerchief" says a
little woman displaying filmy affair en-
broidered in designs of jockey caps, whips
and horseshoes. One woman has her wh..e
waistcoat embroidered in scarlet horse
shoes, and she looks dceadfully horsey.
Now they go down stairs for luncheon,
where again they see many types of wom-

silk She looks thoroughly uncomforta-
Bile, as she ought. There is the woman who
stares. She cannot eat for staring at her
neighbors. She twists her neck nearly off
trying to see what the people at the next
table are paying for their luncheon. She
is so fearful that something will get away
