WEIRD MUSIC OF TIE KArFrRs.

Then the Kaffir choir sang hymn in
their native tongue. No one knew what
It was all about, but it was very impress
siye, the chief characteristic being the
quick changes from diminuendo to
crescendo aud the addition OF another
phrase at the moment when those &C.
customed to tho air OF Christian hymns
were quite sure 1t was all over.
Then the Bushman and Hottentot
Brownies" sanga duet Each studied
the toes OF his Christian shoes until the
organ gave the cue and then they ad.
vanced and stood together at the edge
of tho platform. The hymn was ''0h.
Say, viii You Meet No at the Foun.
tain ?" and in order that they might get
tho air right the Bnshman accentuated
the turning points with his chin, which
tho Hottentot watched reiig.oualy out
OF tho corner OF his eyes. Their voices
are shrill and OF great power.
The seven tribes joined ia tho chorus
and assured the brownies" that thoy
would indeed meet them at the fountain
with astonishing power. Tho bassos,
with vibrant following, and tho so.
| pranos, with a sound suggestive oil o
cruisers siren, rather than converted
one from kRtEiF land.
That done, Brownies" and all sang
the Lords Prayer ma it was never aung
before in Brooklyn. The Kafhr tune

audible by turns. and the peculiar in.
tonation suggests the monotony OF in
cantation one moment and d battle
hymn tho next.
The KaiIirs had TO sing in another
church and 30 couldn't wait to hear the
sermon. They return TO Africa next
month. A missionary conceived tho
idea OF sending them to Europe and
America to show civilized folk what has
been accomplished among the heather
Of Southern Africa, and after much
patient search and hard trimming tho
choir was organized aud sent to Eng.
land, and after an extensive tour there
they came 10 America.

REPRESENTED SEVEN TRIBES.

The Kafirs wore clothes Of the civil
lied sort. They sat on the platform be.
ado the minister, where the congrega.
ton had 0 good view of them and
could compare the raw material from
Kaffirland with the regular choir, which
was ranged just behind the pulpit.
One of the Katfir gentlemen, Fingo
tribesman, who wore pair OF copspic.
uous yellow shoes OF generous size, and
Bapedi soprano displayed a pair OF
sleeves big enough to show that she
had adopted the style as well as the
faith OF tue Chri stan. There were
fourteen OF the singers in all, including
Koortu Kenedoi, q diminutive Hotten.
tot boy, and Cert Breda, whose head
was only rs high as the ministers
watch chain, although the little Bush =
man is nearly full grown.
The company represeted seven tribes
the :Amaxosa, Fingo, Cape, Basuto,
Tembo, Bapedi and Zulu. They were
not handsome from the Brooklyn
standpoint, but when they sang you
heard them and understood them,
though the harmony swelled from mo-
notonous and scarcely audible supplica-
ton to power suggestive OF Dattle
chorus.
It was odd to see the trim Christian
choir's inspection Of the Kafiirs and tho
Kaffirs' inspection Of tho Christians.
The music was as dissimilar as the sing
ers.
The Rev. Mr.. Carson told how David
Livingstone labored to save the Hotten-
tots and than cried:
"Where is the Hottentot"
That was Master Koortu Kenedoi's
cue, and he stood up, trim little chap
with great deal OF complacency and a
face which gave his tribe new stand
ing in the City OF Churches.
There" the minister cried, sis an
example OF the saving power Of Jesus
Christ"
Breda, the Bushman, was called upon,
too, aud whom the minister smoke Of his
conversion the little fellow smiled upon
everybody as only bushman can.

No Virtue In Whole Grain or Bran.


Among the ancients the "toothless nag"
was stock figure. Homer was bald,
Diogenes was bald. Ulysses was bald.
How did they become so on bran or whole
grained bread, such as was used in their
times? The miller of this day is making
no mistake in his work. No civilized
nation, with mixed diet, is in any dan
ger from the use Of white flour. The
"sweet and pleasant favor" of bread
made out Of old buhr flour or ruder
meals was due TO no wholesome, nutri-
tious quality in the fours or meals used.
1t was simply the dirt-that is, the
nonAoury parts Of the wheat berry in
corporated in the product Of rude milling
that gave that flavor. The bread is more
nourishing without it and more digesti-
BILE without it. Modern milling is all
right. The human intestines are not in
tended for mere bran conveyers. The
bran shouldgo to the bran bin, and from
there to the animals that can digest it.
Man is not among those ,animals.-Mill,

1t has been the current opinion for CEN
turtles that places OF burial are haunted
especially after nightfall with specters,
ghosts and other apparitions. Persons
who have investigated this matter de-
clare that the ghost idea was prevalent

that spirits occasionally left their sepul

An Original Theory of Education.

Count de Lesseps has always had the
cries on the education Of children. Part
of his success in the Suez canal was due
to the help of Abbas Pasha, who had
been a pupil of the count. Abbas was
very fat and luxury loving boy, but with
more than ordinary intelligence. At the
end of the first month of De Lesseps' d.
rection Of his education his tutor, with
some pride, brought in the boys reports
"Do not bring me reports of lessons" De
LessCp5 said, "but his weight I desire
you to weigh him at the beginning of
every month. If he has gained in flesh,
punish him and see that it does not hap
