where the Abyssinian "sweIl" Gets His
Pomade.
An Abyssinian will tell you without
blush that he is necessarily washed ut
birth, cleans himself on his marriage
morn and hopes to be washed after
death; that once every year he
dips himself in the river on the festival
of st. John the Baptist, and regularly
every morning he vets the end Of his
toga with the moisture from his mouth
and freshens up his eyes.
Whenever he feels his hide hard and
uncomfortable he anoints himself with
mutton fat, says the Century.
OF morning one may see the jeunes'
see doree of the town stalking with body
erect, and with about pound Of butter
stuck on their heads, gradually melting
under the increasing power Of the sun.
The women look shade cleaner oc'
casionally, caused not by any act Of
their own, but through the accident OF
being for hours In rainstorm, which
at this season occurs daily, but ever
then the odor OF rancid mutton fat i'm
pregnates the atmosphere wherevei
they may be.

BOATS FOR WOMEN.
They Prefer One That VIII Not Easily

They Prefer One That VIII Not Easily
Capsize.
Women affect to prefer yachts. What
they really like is catboat To go
sailing in catboat is like sailing in a
wide piazza One would as soon feel
qualms In a drawing-room. A catboat
Is as broad ns it Is long. Some catboats
are broader than they nre long. Such
would be catboat thirteen feet by
twenty-four. which are the dimensions
Of well-reinembered catboat. That is
o nautical estimate; the length by
rights should be twice the breadth OF
beam, as In this case II was not. There
is but one man; he handles the tiller
with one hand, shifts the sail with the
other and entertains you with talk OF
his craft. He pretends great indiffer-
ence TO yachts and says: I'VE don't
think much Of 'em." A catboat, says
the New York journal, not only Is as
broad Us room, but has centerDoard.
Literally II cannot capsize. On fine
afternoons when catboats are available
they look like floating nurseries. The
most timid mothers will take their chill
drsn out In 4 catboat II the children
will promise not TO throw themselves
or one another into the water. There
is no other possibility Of their getting
in. A well-built catboat will sail like q
slsimming dish by raising the center
board or will cleave the water like q
cutter with Its lowered centerboard. II
Is, however, bad to be becalmed In. II
carries but one oar and its breadth Of
fers a good deal Of resistance. But q
calm on the water is nothing to calm
on land. A belated sailing party on @
quiet summer night will throw house
hold into CONSERVATION and break VI
the fountains of the deep that lie IL
! woman's eyes.

The total revenue for the year was
$3.50, ,ss1, IN increase Of s2,299 over 1890.
There was refunded on grain In 1890
toll TO the amount Of s41,oS5. and in
1901 TO 90, ,s34. The latter figures, says
the Cleveland Leader, represent 27o, ,so1
tons of grain which passed down tho
Welland canal and were transshipped
AT Canadian ports TO Montreal, and
upon which rebate Of 1s cents ton
was made. The total quantity Of grain
which passed down the Welland canal
10 Montreal was $500 tons Us against
29s, s,b19 In the previous year. The guam
tity on which full tolls were paid
shipped from one United States port TO
another United States port shows a de-
crease from 245,9 ,982 to 2O2,71o The In
ference being, judging from the figures
already given, that q largo amount OF
traffic has been diverted to the st. Law
renee route. The bill passed by the

But His Girls Father Thought It Was
Hers and Locked It Up.
Estelle's young man rides a bicycle,
and Estelle has long wanted her pa to
buy her wheel, toorin order, says the
Somerville (Mass.) journal, that she
might keep the young man company on
his lonely rides, Finally pa was wearied
out by persistency in arts that all
loving daughters will understand, and
Estelle was provided with a costly
nickeled wheel, which, after the usual
number Of bumps and bruises, she felt
competent to ride. One evening not
long afterward pa came home about
midnight and saw the wheel leaning
against the banking near the front
piazza, where the dews Of evening had
been gathering upon its spokes.
"Is that the way Estelle takes care
Of her expensive presents?" he growled
TO himself In disgust. "I'll teach her \
lesson" he added, with grim determine
ton, and so he trundled the wheel of
quietly and locked IL up in the carriage
house before he went TO bed.
That night when Estelle's young man
emerged upon the piazza and looked for
his wheel, the wheel was gone. Estelle'a
young man had to walk home-a dis
tance OF about four miles.
The next morning at the breakfast
table Estelle remarked: Wasn't 1t toe
bad, papap George left his bicycle al
| tba door Iaet Yioht and snmabodv muai
have stolen 1t, for when he came to &c
home about ten o'clock the wheel wa
gone"
And great light dawned suddenly
upon Estelle's pa as he exclaimed
"Great Scott was that Georges bicycle

you TO be more careful Of 1t locked 4
up in the carriage house at midnigh

NEGROES IN BARBADoEs.
rhoy Die Rapidly of Consumption--Euro
peans Safe from the Disease.

rhey Die Rapidly of Consumption-Euro-
peans Safe from the Disease.
In Barbados the chief enemy Of the
black race is consumption, OF which
many of them die, though it Is practic-
ally unknown there among Europeans.
The cause is simply that all negroes,
without exception, hermetically seal up
their huts at night, partly from fear OF
mysterious ghosts or "duppies," and
partly to keep out mosquitoes, and
partly again because they wish to keep
out cold. For, strange as it may appear,
the naturalized West Indian negro shiv-
ers in temperature Of seventy-four de-
grees, and on rare occasions in winter
when the thermometer falls to seventy
degrees, he Is blue with cold and almost
incapacitated for work No doubt he is
warm enough in his hut at night, with
every shutter closed and every chink
and Granny stuffed with rags, but ma
ture avenges herself for this exclusion
of her purifying oxygen by colds and
coughs. The negro has quack remedies
and balsams by the dozens for these,
but All the Year Round says they do
not save him from the tubercle that
soon forms in his lungs and eats his life
away.
After all, he is little missed; he has
had short life and pleasant one. His
relatives will feel pride in. covering
themselves with Grape, Of color almost
as black as their own compilations, for
Grape is "de rigueur" among the ne
crosses Of Barbados. He will probably
leave after him six or seven children
mostly illegitimate, since the black la
dies have strong objections to the bond
of matrimony. But here the question
Of pounds, shillings and pence does moi
intrude itself as it does at home. Il
costs so little to bring up a black baby
that there is really no reason whatever
for its parents to consider its future
When 1t grows up an hours work or sc
day will keep it in food and clothes
So, in the streets OF Bridgetown, th'
happy little black imps swarm like file
and the island has the densest popula
ton per square mile of any place in th
known world-that is, II what they soy
about Chinese statistics is true.

RIFLES AND AT FORTY PAGES.
The Duel In which Gen. Denver Dropped
Editor Gilbert.

Editor GuDorC.
The immigrants coming over the
mountains in those days were exposed
to great dangers, both from ignorance
Of the route and lack of supplies, and
were also beset by rowing bands OF In
dians, who robbed them at pleasure,
and killed them likewise.
This fact, says the New York Adver-
tiser, was recognized by the California
legislature in time, and to provide
against the recurrence of the outrages
bill was passed upon the recommends
ton of the governor instructing him to
organize a company and equip relief
train, which should proceed to the
mountains, and perform any duties
necessary for the protection OF immi-
grant trains. The governor obeyed
the orders of the bill, and there was
great demonstration as the soldiers
marched out of Sacramento, with the
governor at their head. The utility
of the expedition was seriously doubt
ed by many, and among them the edit
or of the Alta California, who said 30
in an editorial, and ridiculed the whole
affair as scheme of Bigler's to gain
political capital at very heavy ex-
pense to the people. He opposed the
bill from the beginning and when Big
Ter personally led the expedition
through the streets Of the capital he
more positively than ever charged that
1t was job. This aroused the indig-
nation of the late Gen, Denver, who was
q personal friend of Bigler, and he pub
lished bitter card in reply, attacking
Gilbert The editor replied, claiming
that he was disinterested in the matter
and that he was no personal enemy OF
Bigler. Denver retorted again and in
bitter, personal spirit, and Gilbert
challenged him to fight. Denver &C
cepted.
The weapons were rifles and the dis
tance was forty PAGES, the battle
ground being ten miles from Sacra-
mento. The first fire was Intellectual,
and it has often been said that Gilbert
refused to take his antagonists hand
and call the matter quits with nc
blood spilled. At the next fire Gilbert
fell and within less than five minutes
he was dead.

WHAT FALL RIVER MEN THINK.

Views of the Manufacturers on the Re-
cent Election.
Providence, Nov. 19.-The Journal has
secured the opinions of Fall River manu-
facturers on the probable effect upon their
business of probable tariff changes. The
journal SAYS a majority of the manufac-
turers are Republicans and these worked
diligently for Republican success. They
do not appear, however, to be greatly
alarmed now.
A few manufacturers say that they do
not believe the Mckinley bill contributed
to the boom in their business last year.
They hold that If machinery had always
been free their factories could have been
erected more cheaply, and with abundant
cotton nothing could have prevented them
from making money.
An agent who is well known as a con-
servative thinker and talker SAYS: 81 am
not greatly concerned about the cotton
industry in Fall River considered as a
whole The tariff on goods is so high that
IL IL were tinkered with it would not benefit
competitors across the water ] do not be-
lieve there is likely to be any appreciable
change in the conditions here What
most fear is a series of reductions covering
long period, which would make us uncer-
tain as to what was coming and keep us on
the ragged edge am not prepared to say
that absolute free trade would ruin the
country, though believe the conditions on
this side are SO different from those in
England that there is no necessity for a
change at present"
