The pigmy savages who inhabit the An
daman Islands continue to give the Indian
authorities who maintain penal settlement
there great deal Of trouble. This strange
race of people, about whose origin the an
thropologists can tell us nothing, refuse to
be civilized, and decline to be exterminated.
Though the Andaman Islands are close to
the Indian coast their inhabitants have not
profited by intercourse with the natives of
the main land. They are as savage as they
were when first western voyagers made
their acquaintance. The convicts kept on
South Andaman Island do not dare to yen-
ture from their stockades, for fear of the
Andaman's powerful bow and relentless
spear For although the Andaman islander
is seldom more than five feet tall, while his
wife is often shorter still, he has enormous
strength, and can run, throw and swim
especially swim, with wonderful power and
endurance.
The chief Andaman weapon is the bow,
which is of odd shape and six feet in length.
With this pigmy warrior can kill an
enemy at 20 yards, so that even armed
Europeans must approach these ferocious
dwarfs cautiously. They have not yet
learned to wear anything more than little
red ochre or oil by way Of clothes, and they
are so hideous naturally that some sailors
who landed on the Andaman Islands few
years ago refused to leave them any mir
rors lest the sight of their own looks should
torment them. Not so their handiwork,
for their weapons and canoes are as beauti-
full as they are efficient. They chisel with
stone adzes the canoe from tree trunk
until its sides are as thin as paper, and in
this vessel, with their odd spoon-shaped
oars, they can outship the swiftest oarsmen
among the crews of the ships that call at
Andaman.

WHY A LOBSTER TURNS RED.

Gloucester Times. ]

Gloucester Times.1
In all crustaceans, as, indeed, in almost
everything in nature. there is certain per
cent of iron. Upon boiling, the lobster is
oxidized; the effect is largely due also to
the percentage of muriatic acid which e1-
lists naturally in the she'll. The cheo,ical
change which takes place here is almost
similar to that which occurs in the burning
of brick.
In boiling lobster its coat ceases to be a
living substance, and to a certain extent it
takes new character. 1t is as brick
would be after burning. The effect can
also be produced by the sun, but necessarily
not so rapidly, as the heat of that luminary,
although more intense, is not concentrated
sufficiently to produce the result The sun
also exercises bleaching influence, which
consumes the oxide almost as fast as it is
formed, leaving the shell white, or nearly
pure lime

The match is not very brilliant one for
the succession to the throne in Roumania is
not as certain as it might be, if two at least
of the great powers were not always hoping
to find pretext for annexing the small
kingdom. In fact, Roumania is too near
the center of that ever-vexed Eastern ques-

a western SNAKE.

From far western regions comes the
tale Of a man who was killed by dead
snake. This story is 50 thrilling that It
is best not to mention the name Of the
place where the incident occurred.
Snake bites from live snakes are bad
enough, hut when it comes to bites from
dead ones, the place where such reptiles
live, or once lived, is a good country to
avoid. II might be bad for the growth
of the town If revealed its location.
This farmer went ont one morning to
chop wood. Perceiving q snake near
his wood pile he chopped 1t into little
bits and threw all the pieces broadcast,
as warning to other snakes not to ven
ture too near his wood pile.
As he picked up the portion contain
ing the mouth of the snake, it closed
upon his finger, but he thought nothing
further about the matter. Two weeks
later, however, the finger began to
swell and within q couple Of hours he
died. Thus we see that in these districts
dead snakes are as dangerous as live
ones.--New York World.

Milton county, Ga. has lady who is
q shrewd trader. Not long ago the
merchants Of Roswell went wild in their
efforts to control the chicken trade. One
merchant raised the price Of hens TO
thirty-fve cents. The Milton county
lady went down and purchased about
twenty dollars worth Of goods. The
merchant, thinking he would get the
cash, put the prices low. When the Lady
had finished the trading she turned to
the merchant and said, well, under

And now, when he goes to sell bill Of

way. q Preparlng Aspararus.

A friend, who is noted for her excel
lent serving of asparagus, gives the fol-
lowing suggestions for its preparation;
1.-THE bunch should be plunged into boil
ing water which is well sailed, set down
ON the root end with the tips well out
of the water, as the steam cooks them
quite sufficiently. Almost any aspara-
gus will be well cooked after twenty
five minutes boiling. It can then be
taken into collander and drained, the
strings carefully cut and the vegetable
arranged on toast to serve. There are
several sauces used with it--either plain
butter, pepper and salt, or yet sauce
Hollandaise being quite popular, or
drawn butter may be poured over it.
sometimes, when the tips of aspara-
gus are served with toast as an especial
ly dainty dish, the stalks are well boiled
and strained for a soup. Asparagus soup
may be made with either stock or water.
If stock is used the white is preferable,
and cream is frequently added to make
the soup still richer. It is delicious
soup. Asparagus can be steamed to
warm it over, and can be cut in small
bits and stirred into an omelette, if any
happens to be left over from dinner

rotal Eclipses al Zane sun.

Every year there must be two ecipses
Of the sun, and there may be five. These
are partial eclipses, however, except in
the comparatively rare case in which the
moon passes nearly centrally over the
suns disk and produces total obscura-
ton of his light. Since the invention of
the spectroscope, in 1860, there have
been barely score of total eclipses, and
a number of these could not be observed
because the belt of totality fell at the
earth's polar regions or upon the oceans.
The belt of totality is narrow strip
never more than ITO miles wide-where
the point of the moons shadow falls upon
the earth. Total eciipses rarely occur,
therefore, at the same point of the earth
At London, for example. there has been
no total eclipse since the year 1140, ex-
cept that Of 1715, and there viii be none
during the next century. E.

Says q Cincinnati literary man: 81 used
to think that the word sophomore was
made up of the Greek word signifying
wise and the English word more The
word was thus applicable, thought, to
the second class in college, because
they were more wise than their fellows
in their own estimation But it seems
that the word has purer genealogy and
a meaning even less fattering to the
class of collegians to whom it is applied.
It was first used at the University of
Cambridge, England, and in its infancy
appeared in the form 'soph-mor.' 1t was
composed of the word .soph,' contrac-
ton for 'sophister,' and Greek word
meaning foolish (moros).
1.-THE college course extended over
three years and one term. The respect
i've classes of students were termed
freshmen, or first year men; junior
sophs or soph-mors, senior sophs and
questioners. This nomenclature was
transferred to the American higher in
stitutions of learning, and in the form
freshmen, juniors and seniors still exists,
while it has wholly disappeared on the
other side of the water. New York

Making an Aurora Borealis.

In 1882 two astronomers, M. De La
Rine and NJ. Lenstrom, made expert
ments in the mountains of Finland
which clearly prove the aurora borealis
to be of electrical origin. NJ. De La
Rine says: I'VE surrounded noun
tain peak with coil of copper wire,
pointed at intervals with tin nibs. We
next charged the wire with strong
current of electricity, and every night
during our stay produced a beautiful
display of the aurora, one Of the main
characteristics of this display being a
yellowish white light on the tin points
of the wire, which the spectroscope
analysis proved to be the greenish vel
low rays known in nothing else except
the aurora borealis. The main part Of
the auroral display was usually about
$50 yards above the copper coil. "-Phila-

Niekel and silver PlatinG.

Many articles said to be silver plated
are really nickel plated. Nickel plating
has many advantages over silver plat
ing. 1t does not SO readily yield to the
action Of acids, it looks as well as silver
and does not become black so quickly
from the gases in the atmosphere; be-
sides that, it is much easier and more
quickly done, and If people do not know
the difference, where is the harms They
get the silver plating and much
cheaper than would be the case were
genuine silver used, and the result is
generally more satisfactory. st. Louis

Many people who would recoil with
horror from cutting a human creatures

much and only lasts a moment, will

A good story Is told Of Il slipoTner Of
Liverpool, Quaker named Jacob, who
prided himself on his honesty. He
would not have told downriRhf false
hood to save the value Of his best craft.
Jacob suffered one Of his best ships TO
Get eai1 from Calcutta for home without
any insurance upon either vessel or

he was confident his ship had encount
cred bad weather, and he feared for her
safety. In this strait be went to his
friend Isaac.
He called him Friend" though Isaac
was one Of the children Of Israel. Friend

Isaac did not seem to be anxious to in
ape the ship, but, being told that no
unfayorable intelligence had been heard
from her, he said be would have the pol

Should friend Isaac happen to hear
the news before the policy was made

If it was made out and not signed he
would not sign it. What was to be donef
Jacob wanted to act honestly. Il would
not be right to let Isaac go on and make
out the policy under such circumstances.
Finally he hit upon plan. He sum-
moned his confidential clerk and said:
'"Tell friend Isaac that have heard from
my ship, and If the policy is not signed
he need not sign it." The clock was
close upon the hour Of when the clerk
arrived at Isaac's Office. Friend Jacobs
message was delivered; the ship had
been heard from, and if the policy was
not signed he need not sign it.
II think ! am in season to save it,
the clerk said. mo, SIR answered
Isaac promptly and emphatically. In
truth the policy Of insurance had not
been signed, for the insurer had been In
doubt. When Isaac heard the message
he judged at once that the ship was safe
and that Jacob sought to save the heavy
item of premium he had agreed to pay.
mo, sir, " he said, "you are not in time.
It Is past o'clock, the policy is signed

He slipped out and hastily finished and
signed the policy, and having dried the
ink he brought the document to the
clerk, demanding in return the sum
which had been agreed upon. The money
was paid and the policy was taken home
to friend Jacob, who received it very
gladly. The end can be readily i'm
