CHARACTER OF THE CoUNTRy.


Yet Dahomey is country the character
of which recalls the lines of the old
hymn, Where every prospect pleases
and only man is vile" Near the coast
the land is low and sandy, but a few
miles from the sea the forests of the in
terror begin, and present a scene of Ieafv
grandeur such as can be seen nowhere
outside of the tropics. Most of the trees
are OF gigantic size, while intertwined
creepers and vines, overhead and under
loot, render the progress of the footmen
almost impossible. Further on the for
ests give way to rolling lands of wonder
ful beauty and matchless fertility. In
any part OF the country two crops are
possible in every agricultural wear. but
so little acquaintance have the people
with practical agriculture that they never
raise more than Is necessary for their own
consumption; famines are far from nm
common, and the population of Dahomev
is actually decreasing. There is excellent
reason for this fact, aside from the horrid
sacrlnces. Polygamy is common; every
man has as many wives as he can get. the
King has from 1900 to 5000. BESIDES in
connection with the royal establishment
there is body of troops, the Amazons.
the like to which the world elsewhere
does not show parallel. Nominallv the
Kings wives, they are rarely so save in
name, but are nevertheless Kept in seclu-
slOH. 1ney uriil III private, and when
they march abroad a herald precedes
them warning all men from the streets.
They number from 200 to 5000, accord
ing to circumstances, form the Kings
body guard, and from all accounts are lar
more savage and bloodthirsty than the
men. From their earliest years they are
carefully trained to cruelty, and the pri-
vate sacrifices of the palace, where thew
alone ofticiate as torturers and execution
ers, are believed. from what is known of
them, TO exceed in diabolical sayagerv
anything that is ever seen in public.
Human sacrifices and the practical cell
bacy of so large number of women have
reduced the population of Dahomey, once
believed to exceed 5000, 600, to less tf,an
100000, and the decline is still proceeding
at very rapid rate.

HIS LITTLE ROMANCE.

How 1t Was Crushed by the Words She
spake to Him.
The De Blair ball is midway over.
Bright eyes outshine diamonds in webby
laces. Soft cleaning silks mirror rose
colored lamps. Lights twinkle, maids
whisper. Half gay, half sad strains melt
on the ear. A blue eyed girl, dreamy
slim and tremulous Tipped, is floating in
the arms Of young Arlington. He whis-
pers to her now and again, and she an
swers with a smile or a glance.
Waltz after waltz wooes them into the
circling maze. The siren music steals
away the hours, and the poetry of mo-
ton charms them into forgetfulness and
wakens their feelings into a tenderness
that is not yet love. In the dreamy
pauses between he is ever by her side
They linger in alcoves and where the tall
ferns make screens of themselves. The
incense of flowers intoXicat"s and in the
intervals of silence love weaves an airy
fabric. Oh, the crimson that comes and
goesl Oh, the eyes that say to other eyes,
"Come WOO mew Oh, the tender com
mands and sweet yieldings Oh, the
words that tremble on the lips! Their
world is the ballroom; for her there is
but one person in it, and he has forsworn
the other woman. There is no past
and no future.
The ball has too soon passed into the
mists of ball that has been. The night
is shivering in its death sleep. She stands
in fleecy white wraps awaiting her car
rage, and from the stone step beneath
the portico he looks up at her, tender
light in his eyes. The blue eyes answer
the silent question, and he bends over
her hand.
Good night he says softly, and with
a half sigh she echoes;
Good night"
A fortnight later he sees her again
She is seated near him at theater
party. He gazes upon her as she watches
the stage. What expression in her face!
What lovelight in her eyes! "She is
thinking of me, he says exultantly to
himself. Now she is remembering that
waltz, how the music died away and |
still held her in my arms. Now the time
she lifted her eyes and l saw into her
very soul. Her sweet face shows all her
thoughts. She cannot look at me. She
must know that | too remember" Bend
ing toward her he whispers:
II can never thank the De Blairs
enough for that ball!'
A faint surprise is in her eyes as she
turns her head.
'Oh, were you there" she asks lam
guidly. Dreadful crush, wasn't it?"-
