have undergone decided change IN the
past year or two. Formerly house coats
were made OF plain cloth, richly quilted

HOW DAHOMEYaNS FIGHT.

They Cut New Roads Through the Jun
giles and Attack the Enemy Unawares.
The French have q large naval and
honey. At whydah there was a Portu-
guese fort which few months ago was
evacuated. Col. Dodds, the French
commander, when a recent blockade
was ordered, gave the Europeans at
Whydah time to leave. The Germans
alone declined to go. The Germans
are in especial favor at Whydah, be-
cause through them King Behanzin has
been able to receive arms and amrnuni-
ton. One of the German agents, Herr
Richter, got into the good graces of the
king and was invested with a high
function. Herr Richter is an old artil-
lery officer, and gave instruction in ar
tillery TO the Dshomeyans. He also
drilled the natives IN other respects and
taught them how TO shoot The method
OF warfare followed by the Dahomeyans
is one that does not promise well for
their humiliation. 1t Is the custom Of
their army to never follow the roads or
beaten tracks. They cut a new road
with incredible swiftness through the
forests aud jungies and swoop down on
an enemy when it is least expected
They are thoroughly acquainted with
the jungle aud pursuit of them would
DC an almost hopeless task. To conduct
a guerrilla warfare of this character
would be productive of great loss of
life not alone from the enemy, but from
fever and miasmatic diseases. Those
acquainted with the Dahomeyans and
the country and who are not carried
away by the idea of an African cam

A Great Calculator,

Prof. Truman Henry Stafford, of Will
liams college, is one of the most
remarkable lightning calculators now
living. One day, gentleman who
had heard of his powers, and
wished to make test, said to
him: 81 have a little problem for you,
Prof. Stafford. / was born August Is,
1852, at three o'clock in the afternoon.
This is June 90, 1888, and it is just three
o'clock. Now, can you tell me my age
in seconds" The great man frowned,
bent his head and began to walk rapid
ly up and down, twisting his mustache
and clasping and unclasping his hands
in his nervous way. After a moment
or so he returned the answer, which
was somewhere in the billions. The
gentleman produced a paper containing
the problem worked out, and said, with
superior smile: ''Well, professor, I'll
give you the credit for great genius,
but you're several thousand out" The
professor stretched out his hand for the
paper, and, running over the calcula-
ton. said, contemptuously: "Humph!
You've left out the leap years."-Golden

But the Riff-Rah, as Well as the Honest
Unemployed, Fell Back Before
the Emperor's Soldiers.

BERLIN, March s.-A dispatch from
Leipsic states the discomfort among large
humber of unemployed workingmen in
that city is spreading. Sunday last several
hundred workingmen attempted to hold
meetings at which some of the speakers de-
nouuced the government and called upon
the worEingmen 10 assert their manhood
and force the authorities TO do something
70 relieve their distress. The riffraff of the
CITY of course were present and no little
disorder was manifested. but the police
found no difficulty in breaking up the meet
mgs and quiet was soon restored.
The socialist agitators continued their
arguments whenever occasion offered IN
beer shops and other places where the IN
EMPLOYED were copyrighted, and finally it
vi determined 10 attempt TO hold meet
ing to-day in the market place. CoFke-
quently a large number of men out Of WIZ
gathered at the place designated, many Of
them attending simply because they had
