is a very fine and intelligent tribe Of
blacks in the neighborhood OF the
Cameroons. named the Dnallas, which
imposes from the first a very violent
test upon the constitutions of their of
spring. Like the ancient Germans, the
Duallas take a child when only four OF
five days old and plunge it in the river.
This is repeated every day till the child
is strong enough to battle itself, or till
it has succumbed under the treat
ment. Other less intelligent and more
savage tribes Of Africans train their
children to endure torture from a very
early age.
Even the average nursing of the
negro mother is enough to try the
toughness Of the child's constitution.
When the child is being fed he is sci
astride his mothers hip, and he must
hold on how he can and get what nutri

about her ordinary duties. When he

Little Things That Make the Panorama
Of life Interesting.
Robert Houdin. the sleight-of-hand
man, once said that he owed much OF
his success to his persistent cultivation
of the faculty of observing ordinary
things. He cultivated this by watch
ing people as he passed them on the
street. by noting the details of differ
ence. He said that he finally got so
proficient that he could glance at a
shop window on passing it and tell
everything IN it, wen to details of con-
struction of the small articles. as the
pattern of a chain in a jewelers. window
for instance.
In addition to its mental training this
observing Of details has a more attract
i've side. Ii furnishes amusement and
makes an ordinary going forth for bust
ness OF pleasure a veritable trip to on
derland If you will take the trouble
to inquire into the matter you viii be
surprised to find how little people, even
II observe what is going on about
them
Women are always mentioned as
alert and infallible observers. As a
matter Of fact they observe very little
outside Of the details of other women's
hats and gowns. And they do not OBJ
serve these as much as they get credit
for doing, as any dressInaker OF milliner
can tell.
You will notice this difference in OBJ
servation in the conduct of people in
the elevated trains. One man, sitting
In a corner. peering over his newspaper,
will suddenly laugh. He has seen
something Il amuse him in some per
son in the car OF in some window the
car has Just passed. Now. Others have
been looking in the same direction as
he but have seen nothing to laugh at.
The truth is they did not see what
he Jaw. They were looking at it, but
they were looking with eyes unframed
for details. The small, incongruou'
elements which make up humor had
escaped them. But if the laughing
mar had told what he saw the other:
would have laughed II was not lack
of a sense of humor, but simply lack o.
