The African Pygmies.

Few anthropological questions are
of so much importance as that of the
African pygmies. Their height is
about 1.25 meters, the head round,
the nose fiat, the face very prognath-
ic, the hair spiral woolly and brown,
the skin light brown, with an under
tone of reddish yellow. The beard
is scant, light, downlike hair covers
the whole body, and the efiiuvium of
the person is penetrating and disa-
greeable. They differ very much,
therefore, from the true negro race.
Mentally they are cunning, cruel,
with keen senses and thieving pro-
pensities. They use small bows with
poisoned arrows, live in slight tenn.
porary shelters and wear light cloth
ing OF leaves or strings. Their Ian
guage has no numerals and is related
to that of the Wambuba tribes. They
appear to have no ornaments, nor to
tattoo the skin, but they occasionally
bore two holes in the upper lip. They
seem to have some religious notions,
as they are careful to bury the dead
in a particular position. They have
some form of marriage, and canni-
bahsm is not general.-Science.

How Deer Was KIIlsd.

The Weaverville Journal tells of a
Trinity lad who shot, at a deer and
found two dead after he fred. We
can't tell any double deer story, but
we can relate q single deer shot
fully as remarkable. Billy Franck of
French Gulch says that a hunter
from that place was out hunting deer
the other day and followed the tracks
up to a clump of thick brush. Not
caring to break through the brush,
he heaved a big rock in To scare the
deer out, No deer appeared, but
there was some tall kicking in the
bushes. The hunter went in and
found his deer dead. He had knocked
its eye out with the rock. One deer
killed with rock ought TO beat q
pair killed by a bullet. SHASTA Cou-

Cold and Electricity.

That extreme cold paralyzes every
vital function is of course piece of
everyday knowledge. But it has
been left to Professor Pictet, who
has been conducting some expert
ments on this subject, to discover
that at temperature of $50 degrees
below the centigrade zero there is no
chemical action between nitric or
sulphuric acid and potash, between
oxygen and potassium, though, un-
der ordinary circumstances, the af-
fnity of the latter metal for oxygen
is so great that twill burn if thrown
into water, owing to its combination
with the oxygen in that fluid. But
if the electric spark is played on bod
les which have thus lost the power
of chemical affinity, some new and
curious combinations result The
latest investigations, the conclusions
of which, however, have been theo-
retically presaged for some years
past, may require us to reconsider the
question of the temperature of outer
space and the possibility of an at
mosphere composed of gases in COM
bination existing there.

Can Plants See?

The mysteries Of vegetable life are
not all yet explored. An Indian
botanist has made experiments which
induce him to say that some plants
can see. Whether the inference can
be accepted or not, these experiments
go to show that the plants made an
effort to reach supports placed at a
little distance and grew toward the
supports wherever placed. The plant
was convolvulus, and when pole
was placed near it and in such way
that the tendrils would have to turn
away from the light to reach it,
they invariably did SO and within a
few hours twined about it. That
certain plants have the sense of
touch is well known. Medical Times.

The Tower of Pisa.

The famous leaning tower of Pisa
is a campanile or bell tower. The
building, which is cylindrical in
form, is 1917 feet high and SO feet in
diameter, made entirely of white
marble. 1t is called the leaning tow
er from the fact that it inclines some
80 feet from the perpendicular and
it is not generally known that this
inclination, which gives the tower
such remarkable appearance, was
not intentional. At the time it was
about half done the error in meas
urement was perceived 1t was
guarded against by the use of extra
braces in the further construction of
the building and an adaptation of
the stone in the highest portion.
There are seven bells on the top of
the tower, the largest of which
weighs 1000 pounds, and these are
so placed as to counteract as far as
possible the leaning of the tower it
self.-Fire and Water.

An Arizona Incident.

During the night coyote came up
to the ranchhouse of D. S. Thomas
near Arizola, where the families of
the men employed on the ranch, 81
mon West and Manuel Marino, were
sleeping out of doors, the Wect fam
lily on the east side of the building,
the Marino family on the north. The
tracks of the animal showed that it
passed the cot where the Vests were
sleeping, Going to the north side,
the voracious beast seized by the arm
a little girl about 6 years of age,
dragged her from the cot and around
the house in the direction whence he
came.
The outcries of the child quickly
aroused every one, and they were
not long in determining the cause,
Mr. West ran into the house and got
a pistol. AS ne came out of the door
Mrs. West called that the beast was
passing her cot. The cries of the
child, however, were sufficient to To-
cate it's whereabouts. Going close,
Mr. West placed the muzzle of the
pistol against the beasts side and
fired. The animal released its hold
and fell dead The child was severe
ly bitten, and her face was consider
ably bruised from contact with the
ground as she was being dragged

They Are Variable, Intricate and Require
Study and Practice.
Nothing is more disconcerting to
persons who are not privileged to
closely follow the changes of fashion
than her vagaries in the way of hand
shaking. Just how and when and by
what mysterious processes the new
handshake is evolved, the old elilni-
mated, it is difficult to determine, but
true it is that unless you are quite up
to date and know tho very latest Jerk
Of the hand, curve of the wrist and
angle of the elbow you mightas well
be decade behind the times.
Indeed those of the elect who as
siduously practice these muscular
feats and reigiously note the slight
est change in the fashion take it upon
themselves to be more personally ag-
grioved if one shocks their tender
sensibilities with last years shake
than if they attempt the old pump
handle, which has no pretense to
modishness. Now, when two of those
whose brilliant feminine intellects are
focused upon these great social ques-
tons meet, they fly at each other as
if they were going to tear each 9TH
ers eyes out, take firm hold of
hands, which is the only redeeming
feature Of the handshake, lift the
hands about on q level with the shoul-
der CAST year it was just an inch be-
low the tip of the nose), and with a
little sideways motion and another
lingering clasp it is over. When both
understand about it, of course it
works to a charm, but when some
body blunders the result is disastrous
like handling warships according
to an Independent code of signals.
The handshake masculine is very
much the same, only the woman be-
comes objective instead of aggressive
allows her hand to be taken and
held fondly in deferential fashion
suggestive of the coultly salutation
which climaXes with kiss. Every
thing but the kiss is the same, for
the hand is lifted, the gentleman bows
over it for moment, and with fond
clasp it is done. 1t looks easy, but to
the intelligence of the society swell
it is really wearing to keep up with
the fastidious etiquette of the ever
changing salutation. New York

crease in value that picture ac.
quires after an artist has become fa-
nous, the following is interesting
A dealer once went to the studio of
David Cox and purchased a painting
off his easel for 910. A few days
afterward the old man went to him
and said:

and children. think have charged
you too much for that picture, and 1

Not many years after that same
painting was sold for 45O guineas.

Thin silk worn under flannel adds
greatly to the protection afforded by
the latter against chills and likewise
prevents the unpleasant sensation of
friction. Thin flannel socks worn
under merino or woolen ones form a
good remedy for cold feet.
The principal conclusion to be
drawn from the foregoing paragraph
may be thus briefly stated:
AS protection against cold, wool
en- garments of equal thicknesses arc
much superior to either linen on cot
ton, and should always be worn for
underclothing. Furs and leather arc
serviceable against great cold, and
especially against severe wind. Wa
terproof clothing should be reserved
for very wet weather, and generally
for persons who are not taking exer-
else when exposed to it.
The value of several layers Of
clothing as compared with o single
warm garment should be borne in
mind. An extra layer even of thin
material next the skin is often very
valuable.
AS a protector against cold gar
ment should not fit closely to the
body, but should be comparatively
loose and easy, so that layer of ali
is interposed between it and the
skin. A loosely woven material is
warmer than one of an opposite
character.
For wearing at night woolen
clothing is not generally desirable.
Cotton or linen is far better. The
blankets constitute the woolen Gov
e1ing and ought to protect the body
sufficiently.
Lastly, it must always be remem-
berod that the source of heat is
within the body itself. Proper food
coupled with due amount of exer-
else will produce heat. The func-
tion of clothing is to retain the heat
thus generated. Nineteenth Cen

for the absolute truth of it. Sir

in well known suburb of a provin-
cial town. In answer to his knock
the housemaid came to the door.

"Oh, yes, sir. Come in, please, "
replied the girl, ushering the visitor
into the dining room. But instead
of leaving him alone she rang for an
other servant, whom she desired to
bring writing materials.
The gentleman wrote his note, en-
closed it in an envelope, addressed it
and left it on the table.
This being done, he departed with
a profusion of thanks to the maid,
who escorted him to the door.
On returning home Mr., P found

Bobby Burns associations with
Carlisle were of an active personal
character, as there are interesting an
ecdotes to prove. 1t was at Carlisle
that he fell into the company of three

Burns to try their hand at versemak-

crown ON the table for the one who
wrote the best. Burns, by the way, on
entering the room, was welcomed by

"InoorricibIe IIlsntomania. Z"


Some days ago in Palermo a well
dressed, pleasant hammered young
man who was ushered into the pres
ence of one Of the leading specialists
in mental disease explained that his
dear wife" had, during the few
months since their marriage, devel-
oped an incorrigible habit of klepto-
mania. After listening to the dis
tressing details the doctor requested
the visitor to bring the patient. Dur
ing the interview she conducted her
self like a high bred woman Of the
world, except for the unfortun nate
failing she labored under-pocketing
articles of value when she thought
she was unobserved.
Among these was a photograph
framed in brilliants and statuette
in gold The doctor also remarked
that just at the moment of bidding
him good day the sufferer relieved
him of a valuable cravat pin. ''You
see yourself" groaned the unhappy
husband in an aside, "how possessed
she is with the thieving instinct. Oh,

cles tomorrow at any hour you may

wise me what to do. Tomorrow"
