chief of the great Pahouip tribe that
numbers ut least million souls One
chief bestowed on him many special
marks of his favor, and he surprised
the young explorer one day by remark
ing: Il am astonished that you have
come through all the country Of the
Pahouins aud are now about to return
alone among the whites. The chiefs
have treated you badly. A great man
like YOU ought to take home women
from all the nations he meets. Now ]
am going to show you that ! am the
friend of the whites. | give you one of
my daughters to take back with you.
In vain the explorer protested that
he did not want such present. lie
told Chief Eyegueh that he had left
young wife at home, and that among
his people man had only one wife.
The more they talked the more certain
il was that the chief would be serious
ly offended If his present were re
jected. Cranpel had scanty follow
ing and was in no position to turn n
powerful friend INTO relentless
enemy. The next day the chief sum
moned a big meeting of his people, and
appeared in the crowd, leading

brought him before Crampel he said to
| the smiling little creature: NOW You
| have no longer father or mother,
or brothers or sisters You belong to
the white man, and you are going to
the white mans country"
So the young girl was taken

only one white man had ever

| TO learn 10 read and live out her years.
But one day the plans for Marines
future were changed. Crampel re-
ceived a commission to go to a part OF
Africa that no explorer had visited. II
was believed that the influence OF the
widespread pahouins extended there.
No one knew what languages would
be met, but the people probably under
stood Pahouin. Crampel needed .

More Foolishness.

That hysterical Canadian by adoption,
Professor Goodwin Smith, is reported as
saying that Americas pretended love
for Gladstone is nothing but hatred OF
England Does the Tory professor
wish to be considered as going so far as
to say that Gladstone is the enemy OF
England? Tory Canadian papers, not
ably the Toronto World, take their cue
from Goodwin Smith and strive to stir
up in Canada hostile feeling to the
United States by emphasizing our hatred
to England.
We regret to be obliged TO keep per;
sistently setting the public sentiment OF
Canada right on this point 1t is a
thankless task too. But must we keep
saying, until annexation is fixed fact,
that the people of the United States dc
not hate England? The reason is as
simple as the Toronto World is silly,
England cannot afford to hate the United
States-the United States cannot afford
to hate England. 1t is plain matter Of
money, and money talks The larger
commercial interests of Great Britain
and the United States run together No
less than $500, OOO,OOO Of good British
| money is invested ia the United States
/ We use it to our own advantage in oui
manufacturing and upon our ranches
and return good interest to England
The people of the two countries are one il
language, race and sympathy. They ar
at once free and law abiding in their ma
lures. They suit one another thoug
England is a constitutional monarch
and America is a republic.
Intelligent Canadians perceive that W
are more prosperous than they. Flo
this reason the desire for annexation
growing year by year, and will gro'
till it is an accomplished fact. 1t WI

terics will stop it. 1t is a matter
money, not sentiment. Now we nor

Charles Stewart Smith, president OF
the New York chamber Of commerce, is
tired of so many presidential elections.
He would put off the evil day to only
once in eight years. His reason, as
given in The North American Review, is
that the presidential political campaign
upsets business all over the country. He
says this has become so apparent in
Europe that Great Britain fixes the
duration of a parliament at seven years.
He did not add, however, that only
few times in history have the independ
ent British voters allowed parliament
to "stay put" for the full term, but over
turned it with their demands for a
change. The late Tory government
would have served its seven years if it
had lasted till 1898.
France elects a president once in eight
years. Mr.. Smith wants the eight years
presidential term, with a president in
eligible for reelection. He bases the
principal argument on the upsetting
financial policy of the different political
parties. They advocate each with vocif-
erousness measures Numerically op-
posed. and the business man does not
know which will whip and cannot trim
his sails accordingly. Capital is timid
in the face of such divergent possibilities.
There, too, is the expense attending the
presidential election every four years.
He says it will cost the two leading
political parties 81 500, 900 in New York
state TO run the campaign this fall. He
does not seem to see, though, this will at
least make business for somebody.

liquor has been allowed 70 be sold to the

cats are intended to kill rabbits. Aus.

The prettiest light furniture is made
of bamboo, which comes from China.
In that country it is used for every pur
pose for which the cane reed is here, and
for making houses, clothes, bridges,
water pipes. fences, pillows and mat
tresses besides. not to speak of umbrel
las. The young shoots of the plant are
eaten, being used as a salad or garnish.
The interesting point about the matter
is that most of the vegetation which
grows in China will thrive here and
this beautiful and useful plant would
probably do as well in our southern
states as it does in China. Then every
woman could have bamboo rocking

A Mathematical Wonder.

Jacques Inaudi is young Italian
twenty-five years old He could not
read and write till he was thirteen. Yet
he is the most wonderful arithmetician
living today. When he was six years
old he was seized with fancy for max
ing arithmetical calculations. He could
not read the names of the figures, but
had them repeated to him. and thus
learned them. Then he began making
mental calculations. All the primary
operations in arithmetic were a mere
child's game to him. He can multiply
together numbers consisting of eight tc
ten figures each with lightninglike ra
pidity.
In brief, all the processes that TAX,
ordinary boys years to learn maud
wrought out for himself when a few
years old without knowing a figure
when he saw it. Computations that re
quire hours for other men to do this
youth does in his mind in a few seconds.
The mental operations whereby he ar.
rives at correct results are totally differ.
ent from the rules of ordinary arithme
tic, yet they are unerringly correct. II
number containing as high as twenty.
six figures is read to him slowly and

says he does not see the figures in hi
mind when he makes a calculation ii
his head, as most people do. On thu
contrary, he hears them, he declares.
How does he do it,
