Strange stories are told of the Dokos,
who live among the moist, warm bam-
boo woods to the south of Kafa and
Susa in Africa. Only 4 feet high, of a
dark olive color, savage and naked, they
have no fire They live only on ants,
mice and serpents, diversified by 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 fayorite snakes. The Dokos
used to be invaluable as slaves, and they
were taken in large numbers. The slave
hunters used to hold up bright colored
clothes as they came to the bamboo
woods, where these human monkeys still
live, and the poor Dokos could not re-
sist toe attractions offered by such su-
perior people. They crowded round
them and were taken in thousands. In
slavery they were docile, attached,
obedient, with few wants and excellent
health. These queer people have one
fault-a love for ants, mice and SER
pents and a speaking to Yer with their
heads on the ground and their heels in
the air. Yer is their idea of superior
power, to whom they talk in this COM
ical manner when they are dispirited or
angry or tired of ants and snakes and
longing for unknown food.-Popul1

One day, at the dinner table of 4

seeing an incredulous smile play around
the features of the ambassador he added.
"Will you bet that, before we rise from
the table your watch or some other
valuable Will not be taken from your
persona"
The ambassador accepted the wager
for the fun of the thing. and the grand
duke telephoned to the chief constable
asking him to send at once the cleverest
pickpocket he could lay his hands on
The latter was to receive the full value
of every article he managed to annex"
and be allowed to go unpublished.
The man came and was put into liv.

him to give him a sign as soon as he
had accomplished the trick. But he

What right has the Westinghouse

PENDANTS there can receive one man
brought there by his friends, may they
not by the same right receive another

IF any institution in the city may
without judicial commitment restrain
man because he is troublesome through

causes, all the way from discoursinh

welded BY ELECTRICITY.

From Alpha TO Omega tho Affair WaH
Run by Chained Lightning.
At a wedding in one of the mideast
cities, just before the entrance of tho
bride, the room burst into a flood of
light from the numerous multi-colored
electric lamps hidden among the dec
orations. The entrance of the bridal
couple was signalized by the auto
matte ringing of electrical bells and
playing of electrical musical instru-
mcnts. During the wedding breakfast,
after the first course, the light faded,
and then suddenly there glowed illumi-
nations from q swarm of electric lamps.
Hidden among the masses of flowers,
glowing from the hearts of jellies and
from translucent vases it seemed as il
the genii of thelower world were every
where Mt work.
In this magical entertainment it fol
lowed that the bride herself must moi
be left out. In her hair cleaned nr
untwinkling star, and, at the first toast
two serpents slowly uncoiled them
selves altogether too suggestingly-
from the bottle standing before the
happy couple. Coffee was prepared in
view OF the company by an electric
heater, and congratulatory speeches
were applaudcd rapturously by an elec
trio kettle-drum placed under the ta
BILE. Upon the dispersion Of the com
pany the electric current set off n move
pyrotechnic display.
