The scene around Nitcheroy is heart

dividing meals with the people living on
the outskirts. In the suburbs. the

broken tiles. plaster. windows and glass,
walls of crumbling houses. blown up or
knocked down. 1t is impossible to do
justice to the frightful sights.

search of the ''little brownies" who
were to perpetuate an almost extinct
race.
The buffalo calf very closely re-
sembles in color the dry grass and soil
of the plains, and many an embryo
bison king has been spared from the
fangs of the wolf when it's mother was
not near by it's resemblance to tuft
of grass. On several occasions Mr..
Jones and his men had close encounters
with these hungry scavengers OF the
desert. Once when having several
calves in his charge he took of one
garment after another and tucked them
under the collars of the different calves
and thus preserved them from attack
until the wagon could be secured.
Their escape was due to the wel-known
fact that prairie wolves will not modest
anything that has the scent of human
being about it. Mr.. Jones killed hif

markable shot he made, bringing down
huge bison on the run at 300 yards
without q sight on his rifle. This
buffalo was killed as necessity to re-
plenish the depleted larder of the e1-
pedition. These calves were taken to
Garden City, where they grew and
prospered. The first and also the last
calf captured are in the present herd
and are named Alpha and Omega re-
spectively. This band now consists of
thirty head of full-blooded buffalo and
ten head of catalo. It has been de-
pleted by frequent sales, made neces-
sary to defrsy the expense of keeping
them. The animals sold have gone to
private collections all over the country
and even to Europe. In fact, nearly
all of the buffalo now in existence have
been sent out at one time and another
from the animals captured on these ex-
peditions.
Mr.. Jones took herd of ten full
bloods to Europe in 1890. These
animals, like most native Americans,
became seasick on the voyage, placed
their noses on the deck and groaned in
distress, but soon recovered upon
reaching the land. They awakened nc

"Lagniappe."

The resolution adopted by the Asso-
ciation of the Retail Grocers OF the
Second and Third Districts of the city,
to abolish the giving of 'lagniappe,"
is serious blow at one of the time
honored customs current in the Creole
quarter of the city, which is, indeed,
the original and ancient city itself. 1t
consisted in giving to each customer
who made purchase some small graf
uity. The recipients of this comph-
ment were chiefly children and colored
people, and it was composed commonly
of few cakes, stick of candy, hand
full of nuts and the like.
The custom probably does not exist
in any other quarter of the city, but
in the Second and Third Districts it is
almost universal. Now it is to be
abolished, much to the disappointment
of those who were accustomed to enjoy
it's benefits. Indeed, lagniappe is con-
sidered by many a proper and legal
right to which they are entitled, and
they have heretofore been ready
enough to claim it when not promptly
accorded. Any purchase, no matter
how trivial, is considered as constitut-
ing right to the additional gratuity,
and the Picayune has heard Of case
where child sent to the store to In
quire the time of day put In claim
for lagniappe in consequence.
Doubtless this additional fee to pur-
chasers costs something, but probably
it was not serious draft on the profits.
But since this is an age of progress, all
old landmarks will sooner or later be
demolished, and old customs aband-
oned. The word '1agniappe" is a
Transformation of the Spanish phrase

sweetener, to make q purchaser pleased

French or of "n" in opinion" in Eng
lish.-New Orleans Picayune.

The rock, picture of which is here

lines were never fashioned by human
hands; nor was it placed upon the
supporting stones by human agency.

of its geology, says we have no PROOF
of the existence among the people OF

us in attributing to their handiwork

There are in this part of West Africa
a number of examples of tottering
rocks like that shown in the picture.
They are all of natural origin, and
show the plainest evidence OF erosion.
Most of them have been carved by the
elements out of mica schists. They

Is Coffee Poisonous?

The Royal Academy of Medicine of
Brussels has been making careful in
quiry into the injurious effects of coffee
drinking. The opinions of literary
men have been especially sought after.
Pierce Lotiis one of the few literatrcurs
who dislike coffee. He gives his opinion
as follows: 81 despise coffee, the odor
is even more offensive to me than the
taste. The only place where it should
take is in the East, where the dainty
cups are accompanied by the nariilhe
and by lazy repose. Every time I drink
it feel as if I were swallowing poison,
and yet never neglect to take it when
I want to compose and write. Nothing
facilitates work like that very poison. "
