before that great entrance, with those won,

thousands of just such timid women as l

as though were in the little country store
where my people have traded for nearly a

to this great store as the brightest part OF my

Tricked by the Jolly Tars.

A pretty good story is told Of the
way in which the officers of certain
sloop-of-war of the North Atlantic
squadron succeeded in getting their
ships slow and Anticipated steam
launch replaced by one of later and
more fashionable type. 1t happened
that the vessel hauled into maynard
for its periodical repairs While there
the launch was loudly complained OF
as too heavy and unwieldly for sloop-
of-war to carry, and a careful weigh
ing by the yard authorities verified the
complaint Thereupon a new and swift
little craft which cost Uncle Sam ever
SO many hundreds of dollars was sub
stituted, and the sloop-of-war steamed
exultantly away. But when the old
launch was sent to the boat shop for
overhauling the workmen found snug
ly slowed away out of sight along the
keelson nearly thousand pounds Of
superAuous ballast iron. The appar-
emily unaccountable weight of the re-
jected boat was readily explained. -

at West Harrisville, Mich, is in the race Tor
the post Office in that village and is using all

The MInnOcence of the Eve"

Painters cultivate what is called the
''innocence of the eye" trying to see
nature simply as forms and colors as
child sees it, without reference to what
reason and experience may teach them.
No two of them see exactly the samo
way. One painter in New Yotk says
that he is ostonished to find how gray
everything is-even sky and foliage.
Another finds the streets full of reds
and puppies. A younger artist says;
"When began to paint everything
seemed to me dark The longer [ look
at nature the more light [ find in it.
My great trouble now is to get my
pictures as light as nature seems to my
eye. I find more yellow in the land
scape than l used to. But, after all,
these things are subjective, and man
paints what is inside of his head, not
what he sees outside of it. Chicago

Life Preseryers for Wells.

The East India coolie is a fatalist;
thinks as little of killing himself as
the Chinaman or Japanese. In point
of fact he entertains a marked prefer
ence for self-destruction as a means OF
showing pique at a real or fancied IN
Jury. In the city Of Bombay this
tendency has long been a source OF
considerable inconvenience and danger,
as the favorite method of the Eastern
suicide is to Jump into well, and it IS
stated that there is scarcely well IN
the city that has not, at some time,
been used for that purpose. An In
genious native East Indian has met
this difficulty by inventing simple
and durable appliance, 'Shich has tho
merit of not only preventing suicide,
also accidental drowning in wells. So
excellently is this device adapted for
this purpose that it has obtained the
approval of the Royal Humane Society
of Great Britain. 1t consists OF a
hoop of wood or metal, over which IS
stretched a net of light tarred rope
with four-inch 1neshes. Metallic
drums support this net just far enough
under the water of the we'll to enable
the buckets to sink and dip, but there
is not enough water above the net tc

Slaves That DO Not Work.

Fnclishmen are apt to confound
African slavery with the forms OF
slavery known to European Nations.
One OF the curiosities of domestic
slavery in darkest Africa pointed out
by the St. James's Gazette is that,
while the native slave owner can, by
custom, compel his slaves to fight for
him and possesses other extensive
powers over them, he cannot legally
compel his slaves to work for him. On
the Congo and its aihuents native mot
Mohammedan) slave owners pay wages
to their own slaves whenever the latter
are required tc transport ivory and
produce to the coast. Even Tippoo
lib pays his numerous slave soldiers
under such peaceful circumstances.
The explanation of this anamOly seems
to be that war is a far more ancient
and primitive institution than labor.
When domestic slavery was First IN
troduced" into Africa regular labor
WAS unknown; the right to monopol'
ize the slaves labor was therefore never
incorporated among the Shareholder s
privileges and prerogatives. 1t is
white men who have really introduced
and acclimatized the idea of work or
'1abor" in Africa. When Pharaoh
compelled the children of Israel to
"work" for him he was considered q
dangerous revolutionist by Egyptian
conservatives. The Spaniards first In
troduced labor slavery in the western
world. We moderns have completely
forgotten that the slave was originally
in the main fighting retainer, nor
working man.
