A Queer African Peonle.

Strange stories are told of tho
Dokos, who live among the moist,
warm bamboo woods to the south of
Kaffa and Susa, in Africa. Only four
feet high, of a dark olive color, savage
and naked, they have no fire. They
live only on ants, mice and serpents,
diversified by a few roots and fruits.
They let their nails grow long, like
talons, the better to dig for ants, and
the more easily to tear in pieces their
favorite snakes. The Dokos use TO
be invaluable as slaves, and they wers
taken in large numbers. The slave
hunters used to hold mp bright coloral
clothes as they came TO the bambo
woods, where these human monkeys
still live, aud the poor Dokos could
not resist the attractions offered by
such superior people. They crowded
round them, aul We taken in thou
sands. In slavery they were docilc,
attached, obediont, with few wants
and excellent health. These queer
people have one fault-a love for
ants, mice and serpents, aud speak.
ing TO Yer with their heads on the
ground AMI their heels in the air
Yer is their idea OF superior power,
TO whom they talk in this comical
manner when they are dispirite or
angry, or tired OF ants aud snakes,

1t was strange then and it seemed
stranger afterward when they thought
about it, although none of them sus-
pected the truth. Davy's lather took
it for granted that the boy was play
ing that he had an angel visitor, Just
as children play "house" or ''com-
pany" to amuse themselves. Once he
had stolen on Dsvy unawares, not to
surprise any celestial visitor the big,
healthy man would have laughed at
such delusion-but to make the boy
scream with the happy surprise of see
ing him. And he had heard strange,
low singing, something like the sing
ing of a bird, but of no bird he had
ever listened to, and it surprised him
greatly. When he pounced on Davy
from the door of the arbor the boy
was alone, but there was a strange
rustling of the leaves and bushes, as
if from some invisible presence.
"Were you singing, Davy?"
''No, papa"
"Who then, my boy?"
CANCEL" and the child hung his
head.
And Mr.. Pond did what he was sorry
for long after. He shook the child
angrily, and insisted upon a descrip-
tion of the angel who was supplanting
father and mother in the heart of the
boy. But Dsvy would only sob and
say, as he had often done before, that
his angel was ''boo'ful, an Davy loves
him."

his father and mother and few sor-

famed him incessantly to keep the
breadth of life in his frail little body.

suddenly broken by the sweet song

The astonished parents looked at
each other. Then, before they could
speak or move, a strange thing hap
pened, so strange that I, its historian,
will not ask you to believe it without
the evidence of stranger things that
have previously occurred. A long,
sinuous, brilliantly-marked snake dart
ed in through the open window and
sought Davy's bed. Those present
fell back in a fright. The next mo-
ment it was clssped in the child's
arms, was caressing every line of his
wasted face, singing that weird song
that sounded like harp's vibration
and twining itself about the frail body
with loving clasp. And Davy was
restored before their very eyes, say
ing over and over again in his blessed
baby patois: 'tMe love An9el-me SO

How the snake came into the pos
session of the circus can only be
guessed. In its long search for its lit
tie human playmate it had probably
been captured, when its beauty and
tameness made it an attraction. Natu-
ralists familiar with the species as
sured the child's parents that the
snake was as harmless as kitten, and
as it caused the little fellows speedy
restoration to health, it was endured by
them, if not loved. That it had found
Davy by some powerful occult faculty
seems certain. 1t was soon known
that this was the attraction that had
escaped from the circus, but the cir

Increased Activity and Definite signs of
 Ssiil Better Times

Stiil Better Times
 NEW YoRK. Nov. 24.-R. c. Dun & Co.'S weekly review of tradc says today.
 There are some changes for the better. The gain Is slow and in some dir ,ctIons not very distinct but tho signs Of it are . little more definite than last week The most important Of them Is larger employ rnent of labor. answering better demand on the whole for manufactured products Much of this is due to the unnatural de lay of orders for the winter which result cd from prolonged uncertainty. but 1t means actual increase in earnings and purchasing power of the millions and so gives promise of larger demand in the future Prices of farm products in the aggregate do not improve. but the pre- vailing hopefulness is felt In somewh hat larger transactions.
 A little premium on gold, for the first time since 1878, naturally excites some comment, even though 1t is only the smallest fraction and apparently due to temporary causes. Undeniably it reflects a disposition to hold gold, which answers to the desire of the goternment to get gold without redeeming Its notes. About S5, goo, 900 has been drawn from tho treas ury by redemption of notes. and 1t Is sup posed that much moro will be withdrawn perhaps after the award of bonds. so that the first payment may not raise the gold reserve higher than 1t was a week ago. The upward tendency of sterling ex- change points the same way: The admit tod need of borrowing docs not increase confidence. But after the treasury re- serve has been replenished greater confi- dence may follow. It Is expected that q syndicate will bid for the full amount of bonds at prioe making the rate 3 per cent or a little less. and that other bids will also be large, but how much gold the treasury will get or keep is problematical.
 Textile industries have added few factories to the working list, against only one or two withdrawn. and tter1 has been some improvement in tho demand for woolens. More supplementary orders for spring have been received, and colder weather has increased the demand for heavy goods Yet on tho whole the mar ket Is not active. and tho manufacture is r,l,..h k.l...x. th.. car.....it.. ..E s,.-.-l-.
