The expedition sent out to the
French Soudan against the tribe of
Samory has had a hard-fought battle
with the sons Of the desert. A dis
patch says that the better arms and
superior discipline of the French stood
them in good stead, and that, while
they had six killed and thirty wounded
the natives left behind them several
hundreds Of their number dead on the
field. This Is butchery, pure and
simple; but, then, it is necessary in
order tointroduce the latter-day civili-
zation in the wilds Of the African
desert.

PREHISTORIC LIFE.

Remarkable Scientific I,ichcs in tho Fos-
.sils of This Country.
The phosphate deposits Of tAis conn
try, in addition to their im,lcnsa cora
mercial value, form wonderfully rich
field for the Investigation Of the SCION
fist. Their formation, says the Chicago
Journal, undoubtedly extended through
many ages. Fossils from the age of
reptiles to the age of man are found
Embedded within them, aud the history
of the intervening periods is written
in their strata as in book. The great
bulk of these deposits were formed of
the cXcrcment of prehistoric animals,
and large quantities of the remains
of the animals themselves are constant
ly brought up by the miners.
The greater number of these animals
belong to species now extinct. Remains
of land animals of every kind are found
in abundance. Among the most re-
marl1able of the evidences of the size of
prehistoric animals which these deposits
afford are the remains of sharks, which
appear to have been particularly numer-
Gus. These arc not the ordinary sharks
of to-day, but fishes of enormous length.
A thirty-foot shark of the present time
has tooth half an inch long, but in
these deposits thousands upon thousands
of sharks teeth are found which are
over six inches in length.

AWFUL FATE OF A HUNTER.
Caught in Bear Trap. He Slowly Starycs
to Death.

Caught in q Bear Trap, He Slowly Starycs
to Death.
More than month since an English
man named David Allen, who resided
about six miles north of Winnipeg and
who spent considerable Of his time
hunting, started out to examine his
traps, but failed to return. For ten
days an uninterrupted search was kept
up in the woods, it being supposed that
he had wandered away and become
lost. The search was unproductivc of
results, however. The mystery sur
rounding his fate was accidentally un-
yelled by two hunters who CHANGED to
look in copse of bushes. Lying upon
the ground, face downward, was the
dead body of the hunter, and the con-
dition of the body and the ground
showed that he had met a horrible
death from starvation. Both of his
hands were securely fastened in a
bear trap. He had evidently. been in
the act of setting the trap, when by
some means it closed upon his wrists
with vice-like grip. Unable to re-
lease himself and with no hope of maxi
ing his voice heard in that vast wilder
ness, he suffered the most excruciating
fortunes until starvation and exposure
combined ended his existence. His
wrists were frightfully lacerated where
an attempt had been made to wrench
his hands free. '-~

CAUSES OF eALDNEss.


Conditions That Rlsy Lead to a Loss of
the E,irsu;c Growth.
The probable causes Of badness are
summed up by Dr.. JOSEPH Tyson as, in
their order, insufficient exposure of the
hair, influence of heredity, excessive
mental work and great anxiety, and
constant washing and want of pomadc,
says the Popular Science Monthly. Pre-
ventive treatment is advised. Children
should, as much as possible, do without
caps, and their hats, when worn, should
be of the lightest description. A stouter
hat may be necessary during the hot
season, for the prevention of sunstroke
Head-coverings should not be worn in
doors, IN trains or in closed carriages.
Straw hats are preferable in summer
and in still weather; in winter, hats
made of light felt, well ventilated and
unlined The ordinary tall hat, or
stove-pipe, and the thick, heavy, unven-
tilated top hat, cannot be too strongly
condemned. The second cause does not
admit of practical treatment, while the
course to be pursued with the third
cause is obviously one of avoidance.
Too constant washing of the hair is UNI
necessary as well as harmful. Once a
week is enough for cleanliness and for
maintaining the strength of the hair
Excessive brushing, especially with
hard brushes, should be avoided. The
author advises the application of some
form of simple grease or oil, after the
hair has been washed; and, when the
hair is becoming rapidly thinned, some
stimulating material, such as canthar.
ides, applied to the oil, will increase its
good effects.

Not So Blind. ~

A very popular but blind count lives
in the Champs Elysees. Being witty
and musical, his society was much
sought after. He left Paris three
months ago and on his return called on
fashionable marchioness who was
preparing to go to fancy ball. She
begged to be excused, but as he had an
important message to deliver he was
shown in, and, being blind, he was
asked to take seat in her boudoir.
Gossip ensued, and during all the time
the warehouses, assisted by her maid,
executed the mysteries of her toilet.
Being ready to descend to her carriage,
the count stated that he had been alb
sent in London and had undergone a
successful operation for cataract, and
could now see as well as the marchion-
css. The latter shrieked and jumped
into her carriage without even an au
revoir to her unwelcome visitor.

He KNEW HOW TO DO IT.
The Man Who Relieved Tired Woman
of Her Baby.


The Man Who Relieved a Tired Woman
of Her Baby.
There are two ways of doing every
thing. Two gentlemen standing on the
corner of Fourth and Washington ave-
nue. noticed young, delicate, almost
fragile-looking woman come from the
direction of the big bridge, says the st.
Louis Republic. She was carrying q
baby and leading a little child about
four wears old. 1t was evident that she
was fatigued and that her slender arms
could scarcely bear the burden they
held, while the little fellow clinging to
her skirts was fretful and SO tired that
his legs could hardly toddle. Both gen
tlemen noted the weary woman as sne
passed them, and heard her remark that
they had 'only six more blocks" to
walk.
81 would help that woman if dared"
said one of the gentlemen, 'but if
should speak to her she would resent it
and would only have my trouble for
nv pains. | tried that kind of thing
once and the woman called an officer
and 1 narrowly escaped arrest"
''Well, I'm going to help her and l
don't think I'll be arrested" said his
friend.
Walking up to the tired little woman
the gentleman said in a low tone: "You
are about to drop that baby; it is too
heavy for you; let me carry it,"
Without waiting for reply he lifted
the child out of her arms, and she was
so glad to be relieved of the load that
she forgot to be frightened. AS the lit
tie woman and her benefactor disap-
peared down the street the other gen
tleman said: "If | had done that she
would have screamed and there would
have been a sensational street scene
lle was probably correct.

quite the fad for Fifth avenue ladies to

each year in maintaining this race of
parasites we could rid New York OF
