Civilization of An African Tribe.

At the Berlin Anthropologica Soc
iety, Mr.. Mereusky has given some
curious particulars about the Kendeh
people in the German district on Lake
Nyassa. Their country is bordered on
the north by the Livingstone noun
tains and on the south by the lake,
and this favorable geographical posi-
ton has enabled the people to develop
in peculiar manner and attain rel
atively high state of civilization.
.'Their affections are largely developed.
Friendship is especially valued among
them, and love between the sexes
strong and firm, as well as the domes-
tic affections. Suicide caused by grief
for the loss of wife, a child or even
favorite animal is not infrequent.
The favorite form of suicide is to en-
ter the water and allow ones self to be
devoured by crocodile. In war time
all unnecessary cruelty is avoided, and
women and children who have been
made prisoners are set free again.
The position of women among the Kon-
dehs is unusually high. Women are
on perfect equality with men in the
eyes If the law, and offences against
women are even more severely punish
ed than offences against men. '-[St
James's Gazette.

Arctic and Antarctic Climate.

IT is a remarkable fact that the cll-
mate of the Southern Polar region IS
much more severe than that OF cores
ponding regions to the north. IL IS
we'll known that q race OF human
beings live within the Arctic Circle
with some degree of comfort, but at a
corresponding degree Of latitude at
the south all is one dreary waste,
wholly uninhabitable. At the north
reindeer and musk OK are found IN
great numbers, but natrral1sts say
that not single land quadruped is
known to exist beyond the flft1eth de-
gree of Southern latitude. Arctic ex-
plorers report flowers in abundance as
high as rs degrees north In summer,
but no plant of any description, not
even moss or ichen, has ever been
observed beyond Cockburn Island,
which lies "a degrees IL minutes south.
In Spitzbergen, which is 70 degrees
north, the vegetation ascends the
mountains to height of 5000 feet,
but on every land within or near the
Antarctic Circle the snow line is at the
waters edge.
The reason assigned for this remark
able difference in two regions Of cor
responding latitude is the predomi-
nance of large tracts of land to the
north, and to our Gulf Stream, which
conveys sensible warmth even to the
shores of Nova zembla and Spitzber-
gen. st. Louis Republic.

Poisoning as an Art.

Systematic poisoning, as far aF
European countries are concerned,
has long ago ceased to exist, says the
London Standard; but we are remind
ed by the report of the Government
Analyst of Bombay that the practice
still largely obtains in India. So far
as can be gathered the crimes in many
cases seem to be wholly without mo-
tive, and the perpetrators are rarely
made amenable to justice. Arsenic,
as being the cheapest and most easily
obtained, is the agent most commonly
employed, and as it volatilizes at
very moderate heat, no trace is left
when the body is burned. Opium and
strychnine are also used, and OCCASION
ally powdered glass. Secret poison
ing has been practised in all ages, and
in almost all countries, and numerous
instances Of it are mentioned by the
classic writer's. During what may be
called the poisoning epidemic Of the
seventeenth century the practice be-
came regular branch Of education
among those who professed knowl-
edgo Of magic.

The King Of Slams Private Chapel.

There are several temples situated
in and near the royal inclosure in
Bangkok. The private chapel of the
king is situated within the palace
grounds, and contains more costly
treasures than any place in Siam. The
looting of this temple would have af-
forded the French officers a nice
chance for prize-money if they had
been allowed to seize the opportunity
which the prospect of hostilities of.
fered. One of the principal objects
of value in the Temple of the Emerald
God, as it is called, is a sacred idol,
twelve inches high by eight inches
wide, of solid gold, in which is set a
marvellous combination of crystals,
topazes, sapphires, rnbies, onyxes,
amethysts and diamonds. It is en-
shrined on pyramidal altar springing
from the floor to the roof of the
great building, and it is one of the
duties of the king to visit it once a
year and touch it with his royal hand.
At such visits the steps of the altar
are covered with costly presents to the
king, from faithful subjects Il DEM

whole structure is figured to resist
gale pressure given by wind OF Aoo

secure. Both on the piers on which
the bridge rests and at the tops OF the

Gold Hunting Still Goes On.

The search for gold is going on very
actively all over the globe, and with
very remarkable results. Much more
will probably be mined in California
yet than has been taken out since pio-
neer days, and all up to Alaska and
eastward to the Rocky mountains
there is plenty of average ore and even
hope of rich strikes. Unquestionably
there is much uncertainty in prospect
ing, but we know great deal more
today of the successful conditions than
when ground was first broken in Cali
fornia and Australia. On the Randi,
in South Africa, rich reef ore has been
struck at depth Of over 1900 feet,
and many well-known veins have been
traced and identified at that depth.
Difficulties Of working must be over
come when there is wealth in sight.
In Western Australia an extraordinary
discovery Of gold deposits has been
made, raising expectations Of richness
to the highest pitch. This discovery
comes after the man who found gold
in New South Wales had declared from
special examination that the colony
contained nothing auriferous. -[San
Francisco Call.

been tried in this instance and all in
vain. then thought for little and
hit upon the following plan / direct
ed her nightdress to be sewed up at the
foot SO that it formed a large bag,
and then had the sleeves heightened
SO much that each sleeve, after going
round the body, reached the front,
where it met the other sleeve and was
securely fastened to it. The whole
dress was loose, but the long sleeves
prevented the hands from being used
to get rid of the dress; while from the
end being sewed up the feet could not
be used in progression. At the same
time the dress freely permitted the
wearer to roll about from side to side
in her slumber. Night came, and our
charge retired to bed in her new fam
gled night dress, with which she was
amused. The usual hour for the night
walk came. Her attendants were
strictly enjoined not to stir. She
raised herself upas usual in the sitting
posture, then stood upright and COM
menced to walk. The second step
was a trip, for the foot behind held
the bottom of the bag in which she
stood She stumbled, fell forward
and awoke, and was put back into bed
where she soon fell asleep. And now
came curious change in the phases
of the affiiction. She would rise from
bed each night, but made no further
attempt to walk as before. She would
stand erect, and keeping the knees
perfectly rigid, spring straight upward
from the floor. This she would con-
tinue until thoroughly fatigued, and
then retire quietly to bed to sleep.
! am glad to add the case ended in
perfect cure.

With all that sweetness close to me-but now
she's sweeter still

Killed Five Indians Single Handed.

In 1876, when the trouble between
the United States troops and the Sioux
Indians was on, Jake Short entered the
United States service as scout, attach
ing himself to General Crooks COM
mand. In this capacity he went with
Crooks expedition into the Black hills
country. There his famous feat OF
arms was performed. In carrying
dispatches from headquarters to dis
tant outpost one day Short was attack
ed by band of fifteen Indians. They
were ambushed among the crags in the
foothills, some distance from Shorts
destination. The first intimation he
had Of their presence as he rode by
was to hear the crack, crack OF their
rifles and the singing of the bullets
around his head. Putting spurs to
his horse, he rode straight in the direc-
ton of the outpost, turning in his sad
die to look for the redskins. Soon
they appeared from behind the crags,
all riding straight for him. Short re-
turned their fire and dropped the three
foremost in quick succession with as
many bullets. The survivors urged
their ponies and two better mounted
and bolder than the others were closing
in on him. Deliberately checking his
horses pace, Short turned in his sad
die and droppid the two indians one
after the other. With five of their
number dead the other ten indians be-
came cautious and contented them
selves with taking long distance shots
at the scout. who was soon ont of
range and safe in the camp with his
dispatches. He remained with Gen
eral Crooks troops until Sitting Bull
was captured. Chicago Herald.

A Wonderful Bridge.

The New York Commercial Adver-
tiser says: New York prides itself, and
with good reason, upon the wonderful
bridge which connects it with Brook
lyn. 1t is, as everybody knows, or
should know, the biggest and finest
suspension bridge in the world, but
Chicago always Immediately in Go
tham's wake) is now engaged in erect
ing really wonderful structure. 1t
is known as s.lift bridge" and is be-
ing built across the river at South Hal
stead street from design by a Kansas
City man.
The scheme contemplates fixed span
oftwo trusses, the roadway wide enough
to accommodate four lines of teams and
two sidewalks about 7 1-3 feet in the
clear. At each end of the span, on
either side of the river, are high steel
towers which serve as vertical guides,
and at the top of which are 12-foot
diameter sheaves or pulleys over which
the hoisting cables pass. The general
plan of raising the bridge is exactly
the same as that of an ordinary ele-
vator, there being the usual engines,
hosting cables. counterweights and
compensatlng chains. The clearance
from the mean stage Of water to the
lowest portion Of the bridge is Is feet,
which is ample to permit the passing
Of tugs. The towers are high enough
to permit Of the bridge being raised
14O feet, giving q total clearance Of
155 feet, which is sufficient to clear the
highest mast. The specifications oall

IN A DEN OF THIEVES.
BY OLIVE MAY EAGER.

In ante-bellum days, before West
Virginia became separate State. that
mountainous region was filed with a
rough mining set, who lived in the lit
tie cabins scattered here and there
among the wild hills. The miners kept
much to themselves, and had bad
reputation with the more pacific vii
layers, who rarely saw the sfurriners
except when they came, to the town
store for supplies, on which occasions
they were generally the worse for Il
quor.
It happened that two young men
from the Eastern Shore were making a
horseback journey through the noun
tains in search of fun and adventure,
Late one autumn day, they were fol-
lowing steep bride path to place
where they intended to pass the night /;
but darkness overlook them when far
short of their destination, After
stumbling along for some time, be-
ing forced to lead their horses, they
spied light among the trees, and
reaching it with difficulty over stumps
and stones, they found log cabin,
whose only inmate was brawny
Scotchman of about fifty.
In answer to their request for ac-
commodation for the night, he replied
rather gruffiy that they were welcome
to his rough quarters, but as his wife
had died some weeks before, he and
the three boys were obliged to do
their own cooking, with Indifferent
result. There was no stable, but
only rude shed for the COW and her
feed, of which he gave the horses an
abundant share, as, tying them under
convenient trees, he led the way back
to.the house for their owners.
Merely remarling that ''the boys
would return later" their host wasted
no more words on the unexpected Wis
itors, as he proceeded to fry some
bacon and make fresh corn pone. On
such mountain fare the young men
supped heartily, assisted by copious
drafts of good tea, which seemed to be
the one luxury that had followed the
pioneer Scot into his New World
home.
There were two beds, into one O.
which the travellers gladly crept, al
their host said that he and the boys
would take turns sleeping in the other
The tired horsemen were just touching
the pleasant borders of dreamland
when they were reused by the entrance
of tall, strapplng fellow, who came
in with gun in hand.
The Scotchman's few words hac
somehow left the impression that hi
boys were mere youths; but thi
bearded man was near thirty, ant
looked fierce withal. Thestwo noun
taineers talked in low voices befor,
the big fireplace, which SO swallowed
up their guarded tones that no word
reached the listening couple, now wid'
awake and alert with suspicion.
At the last stopping-place the young
men had been warned against tn,
robbers who haunted these mountains
and although carrying but little none,
they knew full we'll that their gole
watches and fine riding horses were suf
ficicnt to tempt reckless men to mur
der. So they felt for the loade'
revolvers under their pillows, an
with tense yet suppressed excjtemen
waited for what might happen next

Apple Song.
o the Sun has kissed the apples,
Kissed the apples;


o the Sun has kissed the apples,
Kissed the apples;
And the apples, hanging mellow,
Red and yellow,
All down the orchard seen
Make glory in the green
The sun has kissed the apples,
Kissed the apples;
And the hollow barrels wait
By the gate
Tne cider presses drip
With nectar for the lip.
The sun has kissed the apples.
Kissed the apples;
And the yellow miles of grain
Forget the rain.
The happy gardens yet
The winters blight forget.
The sun has kissed the apples,
Kissed the apples.
Der the marsh the cattle spread,
White and red.
The sky is all as blue
As a gentian in the dew.
The sun has kissed the apples,
Kissed the apples;
And the naples are ablaze
Through the haze.
The crickets in their mirth
Fife the fruiting song of earth.
The sun has kissed the apples,
Kissed the apples.
Now with fiocking call and stir
Birds confer,
As If their hearts were crost
BY fear of coming frost.
O the sun has kissed the apples,
Kissed the apples;
And the harvest air is sweet
On the wheat.
Delight is not for long
Give US laughter, give us song!
