The African Pyemies.

The name of dwarfs, applied by some
to these people, has been objected to as
implying deformity or arrested growth,
and therefore conveying a wrong i'm
preston. Neither Of the kind can be
said of the African pygmies, who,
though of short stature, are well shaped
people Of perfectly normal formation.
It is true that the Hottentots and bush.
men show certain strange anatomical
peculiaritiesi but these may be said to
be more or less accidental, being, in part
at least the result Of special and un.
favorable conditions of life
The pygmies are nomadio 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 ber-
ries. Their weapons are always bows
and arrows, the latter usually poisoned
the resource of the weak. They have
no fixed abode, and, If they build shelter
at all, only construct rude huts Of
branches. They have no government,
nor do they form regular communities.
They usually wander about like our
gypsies, in hordes composed of few
families each. This, however, depends
on the nature Of the country--in the
parched deserts of the south they are
not even united to this extent Some
times they are to certain extent de-
pendent on more powerful tribes, who
afford them protection in return for
certain services. Their notions Of the
Unseen, when they have any, would APP
pear TO be of the very crudest Their
language seems to be distant from
others, related among themselves, and

what barren yet occasionally fruitful

demand time and careful thought The
second reading Of o good book is often
of great value. The thoughts retained
from the first reading are impressed
more fully on the mind, and become
assimilated with ones mental structure
while others Of value that were unnoted
before are gathered in.
If there is no time for second read
ing, it is an excellent idea to read with
blue pencil in hand, and to mark those
passages on which one would like to be-
stow further thought. In the eyes Of
some people, marking book is an un-
pardonable sin, but the practice has
many advantages The objection that a
book whose margins are interlined looks
less clean and fresh than il free from
markings has no weight OF what

uapnv wom,n

One of the most successful women
in society is the woman who abso-
lutely knows nothing-that is, in the
ordinary acceptance of the term-but
whose nature is so nicely adapted to
the needs and requirements Of this life
that she makes no blunders, and hurts
the tender feelings of no one. 1t Is a
matter for us to reflect upon, and it
should incite us to hep our children
to cultivate that spirit of hndliness
which would inst as readily speak well
of people as i'll, II not to prefer 60 do
so. We might teach our daughters
that to listen patiently TO the praise
of others will not detract in the least
from their charms. Those happy
women who are capable of honest and
hearty admiration of persons of their
own sex are and always have been
admired and loved, though without
accomplishments or graces save this
one of inborn charity and good will

When anything stands a test Of fifty
years among a discriminating people like
tee Americans, it is pretty good evidence
that there is merit somewhere. The val
uc of medicine is best proved by its m
tinued use from year to year by the same
persons and families, as well As by a
steady increasing sale. Few, il any, med
icines have met with such continued sue
cess and popularity As has markell the IN
PRODUCTION AMI progress Of B]raudrcth' :
Pills, which, after a trial Of over fifty
years. are conceded to be the safest aud
most effective p]urgatlvc introduced to the
public.
That this is the result Of merit and
that Brandreth's Pills actually perform
all that is claimed for them, is concluslvely
proved by the fact that those who regard
them with the rreatert favor are those
who have used them the longest.
Brardreth's Pills are sold in every lrug
and medicine store, either plan or sugar
