A typical Nonheliever.

"DO believe in SIGNS ana luck, and
super3titions and all that blooming non
sense? Of course not, said fat and jolly
Henry Thornburgh at Hurst's hotel to a
group of philosophers. 'I have some
sort Of respect for the people whose SUI
perstitiOn is a religion. The Egyptians,
who worshiped the dog and cat and even
the crocodile; the Romans, who put their
faith La divination and oracles and ma
g1ca1 powers Of amulets; the Greeks. who
deified bees and ants; even the mysteries
and absurdities OF astrology and alchemy
all have my sympathies and at least re-
speotful consideration.
But the horrors of the dreadful figure
10 and the fears some people have of
making one of that number; the refusal
to start journey or undertaking on
Friday; all sorts of ghosts and spectral
warnings, with second sight, etc., have
my supreme contempt ! have known
men to shudder upon seeing two mag
pies at the same time; friend of mine
left my table not long ago because one
of nay children spilled some salt while
moving his plate; one of the firm in our
house would rather suffer fine and inn
prisonment than to put on his left shoe
first when he gets up in the morning.
And ia most respects these people are all
sensible people.

it? Why, don't you know it is a sign

But you are so forgetful, George,

The hos ON the Niger.

Ivory anklets, often very heavy, are
only worn by the Tbo women Of wealth
and Importance, but the metal anklets
worn by others may be many pounds in
weight. and some Of them wear huge
brass plates, perhaps a foot in diameter,
which, once fixed to the ankles, are never
removed. The men wear a single strip
of cotton cloth, but those who come
much in contact with the Europeans are
now learning to wear trousers. Their
weapons are flintlocks, bows and spears
the latter both for hurting and thrust
ing.
The huts are built of mud and mat
ting and are quadrangularin shape. The
center is an open courtyard, at one end
of which is the apartment of the head OF
the house, while the wives and family
are accommodated in other rooms on the
right and left of the courtyard. There
is no furniture or ornament, and but a
few household utensils and weapons

Bags full of roses, baskets heavy with
roses, carts laden with roses; roses, roses,
a feast of roses, a surfeit of roses, if that
is possible. The women stick roses in
their long, braided hair, the men in their
belts. the children pull them and play
with them and leave them on the road to
die.
There is roseleaf jam to eat--very
fresh and sweet it is-and there is rose
leaf sirup to drink. Every vase and yes
sci is full Of roses; they drop on you
from unexpected places; great punches
Of bright pink heads lying Il the ground
gdmonish you as you walk; you can
make bed of them if you will; go to the
granary- rosary, suppose it should be
called-and there you will find as soft
and sweet a couch as was ever laid IN
the Arabian Nights" for eastern princes
to dream upon.
This is how it came about that I saw
such a multiplicity Of roses. We full
filed a long cherished scheme and went

Balkans, once the famouse rose garden
