Current Events Clubs.

Lectures on current events have long
been the privilege of women in several
cities, who have engaged a bright
woman to come and read them papers
and answer their questions on topics of
the day. A number of women who
were unable to enjoy such lectures have
gained as much, perhaps more, by form
ing themselves INTO a Current Events
Club" Each member of the club
which is very informal. without
fees or regulations, and the freedom
OF coming and going as one can
brings something to the meeting
cleaned from the papers of the day.
The subjects presented are discussed;
questions that cannot be answered at
the time are given to some member to
be Cooked up" Nothing is read, and
those who gather for these informal
talks were obliged to depend upon the
memory for their facts. If certain
member became interested in topic,
it was finally thought wisest to let her
follow it exclusively. if the subject was
big enough. other members following
the same plan.

The Ship of the Desert.

There is an Arab tradition cited in
Burton's "Gold Mines of INDIAN" re-
garding the creation of the camel,
which illustrates the popular but erro-
Moons opinion that that animal is ugly in
form and temper.
The story goes that when Allah de-
termined to create the horse he called
the south wind and said: 81 desire to
draw from thee new being; condense
myself by parting with thy fuidity."
The creator then took handful of this
element, blew upon it the breath of
life and the noble quadruped appeared.
But the horse complained against its
maker. His neck was too short to
reach the distant grass blades on the
march; his back had no hump to steady
a saddle; his hoofs were sharp and sunk
deep into the sand. and he added
many similar grievances Whereupon
Allah created the camel to prove the
ioolishness of his complaint.
The horse shuddered at the sight of
what he wanted to become, and this is
the reason every horse starts when
meeting its caricature for the first time.

THE THUGS.

Chicago is overrun by thugs. Every
night cases of robbery are reported to
the police and some OF the outrages
are very daring indeed. The Chief Of
Police declares that these parasites
have been on a vacation during The
summer. AS winter comes on they
return to their city haunts and begin
to push their old trade. They are cold
and hungry and are more liable to
make trouble for the police than they
do in the summer. This IS a good
deal like the parasites that produce
pulmonary trouble. They are cold
and hungry, and the first opportunity
they invade the human system and
make trouble. They can be cxtermi-
mated, however, by taking REDS GER
MAN Couch AND KIDNEY CURE. This
great remedy contains no poison, moth
ing deleterious, but It is certain death
to all parasitic life. 1t is the best rem
edy in the world for bronchitis AMI all
maladies that begin with a slight cold
and end in settled annoyanccs, Get
this great remedy Of any dealer, and do
not take anything in place OF 1t, for
there is nothing that will doyou half SO
much good. Small bottles e cents,
large ones 50 cents

An Improbable Field.

When we arrived at Mashoupa a
dance was going on-a native Sechuana
dance-ln consequence OF the full moon
and the rejoicings incident on an album
dant harvest. In the ketla some forty
or more men had formed O circle, and
were jumping round and round to the
sound of music. Evidently it was an
old war dance degenerated; the sugar
cane took the place of assegai, many
black legs were clothed in trousers and
many black shoulders wore coats; but
there still survive as relics of the past
the ostrich feather in the hat, the fly
whisk OF the horse, jackal or other tail,
the iron skin scraper round the neck,
which represents the pocket handker-
chief among the Kaffirs, and is used to
remove perspiration, and the flute with
one or two holes, out OF which each
man seems to produce a different
sound, while around the group Of dane
ing men old women still circulated, as
of yore, clapping their withered hands
and encouraging the festlvity. 1t was a
sight of considerable picturesqueness
amid the beehive huts and tall over
hanging rocks.
Mashoupa was once the residence Of a
missionary, hut tie church is now Gban-
doned and falling into ruins, because
when asked to repair the edlfice at their
own expense the men of Mashoupa
waxed wroth and replied irreverently
that God might repair His own house:
and one old man who received a blanket
for his reward for attending divine SER
vice is reported to have remarked when
the dole was stopped: '*No more blanket,
no more hallelujah." 1 fear me the
men of Mashoupa are welded to
heathendom.-7 Fortnightlg Reuieoy.

American Street Cars IN India.

Street cars in Bombay are mostly of
American manufacture, and the pro-
motors Of the street car lines are Amer
leans. When it was proposed, not many
years age, to start such lines, Europeans
prophesied their failure upon the
ground that such common public con-
veyances could not be profitable in q
caste-ruled community. 1t was believed
that the high-caste man. who will not
eat or drink from the vessel used by a
low caste man, would refuse to ride in
public conveyance beside his humble
brother. In spite of these doleful
prophecies the railways were built and
equipped, and 10! the high caste man
com placently pays his fare and rides
untroubled pv the side of any sort OF
man. The cheapness and convenience
Of the street cars were too much for
even the hard and fast rules Of CASTE
