People Who Pull Out Their Eeards.

The Esquimaux have coarse, black hair,
some with a tinge of brown. Males have
the crown of the head closely cropped, SO
that reindeer may not see the waving
locks when the hunter creeps behind bunch
grass.
They have black eyes and high cheek
bones. The bones of the face are better
protected from the severity of the climate
by thicker covering of flesh than south
ern races.
Generally their beard IS very scant, and
most of them devote otherwise Idle hours
to pulling out the hairs.-Was hington

How Folios Are Named.

The practice of the publisher nowadays
is first to determine what size of page he
wants. The sheet he uses will be large or
small. according to the capacity of the
press at his disposal. On that sheet he
may print, say, eight octave pages, or he
may print thirty-two, but he will call the
book an octave, though by its folding it
should be called either quarto or a 16mo.
In other words, the publisher calls his
book by the name Of that one of the old
sizes to which it happens to come nearest.

The Bird That Saved Rome.

C. NJ. Tilton, of Brunswick, Ga, says he
has two of the best policemen in his service
in the state. There is one peculiar trait
about them, and that is that they never. go
to sleep and never get off their beats. They
are two enormous geese. They march up
and down a regular beat III front of his
house at night, and whenever anything
enters the yard at night they begin yelling
like Comanche warriors. He says it is i'm
possible for any one to approach his house
at night without raising an alarm from
the geese.-Philadelphi Ledger.

FAITHF UL, AS A DOG.

One Man Has Kindly Words for the Much
Abused Zanzibaris.
l cannot speak gratefully enough of the
conduct of our faithful ZsnZibaris. On
them we were entirely dependent for such
fool as we were able to scrape together
The Zanzibar, it is true, will lie and
thi"ve-most untaught negroes will-but
with the white man with whom he has
worked, whom he respects and has con
tiGence in, though starving himself, he will
share his last crust.
It was often PiJiful to see n man who
was scarcely more than skin and bone, and
who was half mad with hunger himself,
bringing us little store OF toadstoois and,
laying it before us, say, Master, take your
share: God is good"
There was something childlike and
simple about these Zlnzibaris which al
ways appealed strOn% ' - CIR SYN THY.
At work yuu may Dc ~ s@Tcre as you
please: yuu may fog him when he does
wrong, so long as when work is done you
relax and gossip and talk with him. His
quaint remarks about people ard things
are always entertaining and often instruct
i've. You listen TO his stories about his wife
or mother, his sister or FRIEND about his
home in Zanzibar, and his little plot of
land. In fact you make him feel that
though you will force him TO do his full
share of work, at the same time you SYM
pathize with him in his troubles and are
really his friend.
If you do this he will work for you and
follow you with a doglike fidelity. Ihave
often seen Zanzibari who had laid him
self open to punishment, lie down and take
his fifteen or twenty strokes of the cane,
and after he has received them get up, and
raising his hands above his head say
Hand ell Allah" (Thank Cod, by which
he meant he has done wrong, he has re-

world are even. If punished justly, this
child of nature never bears malice, but iu-
justice, want of sympathy or cruelty will
transform him into a sullen, mutinOus
devil, with whom nothing can be done
Of course there are times when the Fan
zibari is most troublesome and has to be
treated with great severity, but when once
he understands that man is his friend
and master, these ebullitions are not of
frequent occurrence.-A. j. Mounteney

What's the Matter With salIie?

WHAT'S the Mabter WIN Sati1e!
Editor LIGHT:
The grand jury should, in vindica-
ton of the impartiality of the law
fully investigate the wrongs, which,
Sallie Royal alleges have been done
her. The poorest and humblest man
or woman should never be hustled
out of the courts when they are seek
ing redress for wrongs, but their
alleged grievances should be looked
into, and II they be well-founded and
supported by evidence, should be
righted. Equality before the law
ought never TO be trampled on and
destroyed by the courts, or by grand
juries, because u person is poor, de-
fenceless and ignorant.
1t is true, Sallie Royal is a negro
doubtless ignorant aud prone to be
suspicious-her grievances may be
purely imaginary, or exaggerations of
frivolous matters, but it can do no
harm to give her q chance to prove
she has been wronged, before the
grand jury. From her card in the
Express, it occur to me, her
grievances are the result of morbid
suspiciousness; but that inference
may not be correct. The grand jury
should not be closed against any one
asking to have his or her wrongs in
vestigated. The evidence should be
heard, If there be any. X. M. &.

The Language Of Gloves.

Boston Transcript.
People who know about gloves use
q complicated vocabulary. They call
the piece of leather q glove is made
out of q tauk. The side pieces to the
fing ers they call fourchetts, and the
little pieces that join the fourchettes
to the gloves they call quirks, or
sometimes gussets. The binding up
and down the opening for the buttons
and buttonholes they call the slit
welts, and the top welt Is the piece
which Is added to the top of the
glove. When they get to talking
about glove seams they make q num-
Der of nice distinctions in stitches.
They call it an in-seam when the
edges are turned in and sewed
through the inside. They talk about
a prick seam when one edge is lap
ped over another. Oftenest of all they
speak of the overstich when the edges
of the leather are sewn through and
around. The welt seam is like the in
seam, except that 1t has third strip
of leather in the middle. If
you look on your street gloves
you will find 1t exemplified.
There are ever 30 many kinds of glove
buttons and hooks, and there are
people who like most of them. When
q glove Is too tight there is no sort of
fastening that seems adequate to the
occasion. There Is one sort of glove
which has no fastening at ALL The
kid is gathered little at the wrist,
and looks comfortable and slightly
puffy. The Bisrritz glove fastens
with something that is called q ban
dalet, and is really buckle.

A Movement to Make the Militia Part on

A Movement to Make the Militia Part on
the United states Army.
ST. LOUIS, No., Aug. 22.-The Post
Dispatch says movement has been set
on foot to put the militia of the states
under national pay and supervision. 1t
was started by officers of the regular
army at Camp Wickham, No., the other
day, and circulars and personal letters
concerning it are now flying thick and
fast about the country. 1t is the most
radical plan to change the condition OF
the militia of the country that has risen
since the war. Al day or two before the
tents Of Camp Wickham were struck
Colonel Milton Moore called together all
the soldiers who were in camp and said
that two officers of the army
wished to address them upon a
subject of prime importance to
the militia. The officers were Lieuten-
ant Robert X. Evans, Of the Twelfth
infantry, and Lieutenant James Batchel.
Ter, of the Twenty-fourth infantry.
Lieutenant Evans is stationed at Fort
Leavenworth and had come to Camp
Wickham with the regular army detail
assigned to assist i'm the camp instruc-
tion. Lieutenant Batcheller is on tenn
porary duty at Fort Leavenworth, and
had come to Camp Wickham with his
friend Lieutenant Evans. About 40C
men answered the invitation Of Colonel
Moore and heard the two officers outline
their plan.
The tive soldiers broached their propo
sition with great enthusiasm, first by
saying that, having carefully made {
comparison of the standing army of tht
United States with other countries they
had concluded that something must b.
done to dignity the military forces o.
this country A consultation of th,
| Association of National Guards of th,
United States was then produced. Tn
main objects of the association were de
clared to be: ITO place the nationa
guard of the various states under tn
control of the secretary of war and Il
receive financial aid from congress; II
secure uniformity in equipment an,
training, and to be prepared at all time
to be in readiness to answer a call iron
congress for national defense Adju
tant General Wickham, of Missouri, be
lieves the scheme q feasible one, an
that view of the proposed change In th
| national guard affairs is held by man
military men of his standing, both |
this state and at Washington.
