The African Sygmies.

The name Of dwarfs. applied by some
to these people, has been objected TO as
implying dcformity or arrested growth,
and therefore conveying 4 wrong i'm

said Of the African pygmies. who,
though Of short stature. are well shaped
people Of perfectly normal formation. II
is true that the Hottentots and Bush
men show certain strange anatomical
pecuharities, but these may be said TO
be more or less accidental. being, in part
at least. the result Of special and IN
favorable conditions Of life.
The pyg1nies 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 unfavorable circum-
stances, on wild fruits, roots and berries
Their weapons are always bows and ar
rows. the latter usually poisoned-the
resource Of the weak.
They have no fixed abode. and II they
build shelters at all only construct rude
huts Of branches. They have no gov

munities: they usually wander about.

with honorable compliments upon his ex-

laurel-for from his youth he has been an
habitual student in nature, science and
art, and still is climbing the ladder of
literary fame by actual everyday study.
On last Tuesday evening, at about the
time of the storm, two men, whose names
are given as Geo. Straight and jeff Lake,
said to have started at Benton, Montana.
and rowed all the way down, fearing the
storm, landed opposite Wogansport.
While pitching their tent Jeff was
instantly struck with paralysis OF
the brain. George, apparently scared
nearly out of his Sc nses, yelled across the
river for help for several minutes. Mrs.
