cuch n question as that of continuing the
Fair until January | is not to be decided with
cat a careful consideration OF all the factors
involved The success of the undertaking
would depend a good deal upon the weather
durinp November and December The pro-
posal has some attractive features, but unless
the Exposition we're complete-that Is, unless
all the exhibitors were willing TO remain-peo
pie would not be strongly attracted. The CO.
operaton of the railroads would also be neces-
sary. for without low fares the attendance OF
many persons from a distance could not be
secured.

INSTINCTS OF A POET.

Col. VIII Visscher, a poet without be-

without being q poet, were playing
cards in Black Hills saloon when .

he had just shot out mans eye and
was therefore gleefuL Whom he en-
tered the place he struck tho bar with

take a drink. Wild Bill said that he
didn't mind taking something. and
visscher made no objection whatever,
but Crawford remarked that he did
not drink. But" said he, ito be soci-
able, l will take cigar with you"
The swashbuckler looked at him
scornfully and said: "No, you'll not

THE WORLD OF LONDON.

In Shakespeare's day there were
three private and four public theaters
In London.
ELECTRIC lighting spreads gradually
over London. Now Hampstead plans
its adoption.
OVER thousand children are an
nually suffocated in bed with their
parents in London.
LONDON music halls are more pros
porous than ever. Theaters droop, but
music halls flourish.
The national portrait gallery has at
last some prospect of taking possession
of its new home Part of the building
now being erected will be fit for use by
next spring.
II is seriously proposed to bring Lon
don and Edinburgh-a distance of five
hundred miles-within six hours ride
Of each other. The locomotive with
which it is hoped to achieve the feat is
in progress Of construction by Glas-
gov firm
AT three of the large London railway
notwithstanding Cross, Cannon street
and London bridge-as many as 80, 969
movements for signal and point levers
have to be made every twenty-four
hours, quite apart from the telegraphic
communications.
THE art of ragpicking is understood
in other places beside Paris. The rev.
enue from the rubbish from the streets
of the city of London last year was
s1, 1873; bottles, boots, knives, iron,
corls. string, paper, rags, tins and
other odds and ends each contributing
their quota. An unopened letter, con-
tanning a check of great value, was
found among the refuse and was for
varded to the address on the envelope.

African village Awakened ut Midnight BY
Murdsroua Raiasrs.
Some evening you look around tho
village and see the people at their
usual occupations. and later on retro
to rest, writes DR.. Laws. in the ZenanA
Record. Suddenly the midnight still
ness is broken by a distant call, and,
alert you raise yourself to listen. Tho
call comes nearer, and is taken up and
passed by other voices, and soon you
are convinced it is the cry OF alarm
war. warl A few minutes more and
the village is astir, the people rushing
hither and thither, seeking to find
safety in the thickest bush-a mother
calling for her children, or child for
mother, but unable to find each other
because of the alarm and scare which
have separated them.
You spend wakeful and watchful
night, not knowing where the enemy
may be, nor where his attack may take
place. After long, anxious, weary
hours You are thankful to notice the
first slimmer of dawn showing itself
in the cast. A dangerous hour passes
by ard the enemy who has been ex-
pected is not seen: but later on you
see smoke rising from village miles
awa-. and in the course OF few hours
you may see men, women and children
with terror-stricken faces, torn limbs
and bleeding feet hurrying past, or, it
may be. coming to you to get their
wounds dressed. As you seek 10 re-
lieve their pain you hear Of how one
child is missing, another has been car
ried away captive and . third muir
dered. and the homes Of all, with their
stores Of grain, have been burned to
ashes

ODD AND CURIOUS WEIGHTS.
How the Habitues OF tho Soudaa Settle
Their Purchases with Gold.


Their Purchases with Gold.
Money used by natives in occidental
Soudan consists of small univalve
white shells called cauries, derived
from the Maldives and Laquedives
islands, and also from Zanzibar. For
several centuries past ships have
brought to the mouth of the Niger or
to the Guinea coast, as far as Liberia,
entire cargoes of these shells, the
value of which runs from twelve cents
to forty cents per thousand, according
to the part of Africa Cauries are only
used in countries where gold is scarce.
In the whole area between Kong, Bon
doukau and the sea, cauries are not
used; natives settle their purchases
with gold dust or nuggets
To weigh the gold.they use as cur
rency they employ small copper scales.
Weights are extremely varied in shapes
and sizes. Most of them are in brass.
Many of the weights exhibiting human
figures, animals. tools, ludicrous scenes,
etc. says the Jewellers Circular, are mod
eled with wax and cast in brass. Afri-
cans may have learned this process from
Europeans who visited their country,
but their art exhibits a native char
acter thoroughly novel These black
artists have evidently reproduced what
they saw or imagined, and they have
done it in style Of their own: their
works are peculiarly humorous and
fancifuL
Each native who has pair Of scales
has also special weights which he alone
understands how to use He knows,
for instance, that giraffe weighs one
or two mitkals Of gold; that such
weight in the shape of bird repre-
sents one-half or one-third mitkal Of
gold, etc.
