BIRTH OF A NEW LANGUAGE.
influence of Indian Soldiers on the Inhab-
itants of Central Africa.

itants of Central Africa.
In a recent issue of the British Cen
trail Africa Gazette a correspondent
gives some interesting particulars of
the progress made in the district at the
northeastern end of Mount Mamie since
it's occupation by the administration
and the building of Fort Lister, which
Il. H. johnson planted in that region
to command the route frequently taken
by slave caravans from the interior to
Quillmane. Among other matters
which he notices as due to the presence
of the Sikh soldiers who garrison Fort
Lister is the beginning of what is prac-
tically new language where the
Indian soldiers are to be found there
will also be found most extraordinary
language, a mixture Of Hindustani,
Swahili, Yao and Chinyanja. This is
most remarkable near Fort Lister 1t
is one of the newest languages on
earth; it cannot be more than a year
old, but is well understood by the peo-
pie. The vocabulary is limited, and as
for the grammar it is as yet uniformed,
but am confident that should the In
dian soldier remain in this country
another five years the philologist will
be delighted to study the Indo-African
language of the future and to trace to
their origin the marvellous words COM
posing it. The same correspondent
notes that with the advent of the Sikhs
a wonderful change has come over the
habits and manners Of the native.
Where formerly his wants in the mat
ter of clothing were confined to suf-
ficient calico to clothe his family and
himself, he now requires boots, tur-
bans, trousers and coats, and at dis
lance it is said to be now difficult to
distinguish the half-naked savage of a
year ago from the Sikh soldier in his
ordinary dress. Another matter in
which the African initiates the Sikh is
in the military salute, with which the
native now frequently accompanies the
greeting of Europeans, the result being
more amusing than correct"

NEW FOR AN ALARM CLOCK.

Employed by tho Old Man to Send His
Daughters Beau Home.
A young man stood in the portico of
an apartment house in Washington
park, Brooklyn, the other evening, and
on the step above him stood pretty
girl, says the New York Sun. 1t was
late and the street was deserted. De-
spite the darkness it was apparent to
the occasional passer-by that the young
man had the daintily gloved right hand
of the young woman within his own,
while his left hand rested over it like a
cover to keep it guarded. The young
man was apparently trying to say good
night and the young woman evidently
could not hear him, for she was bend
ing her head close to his. They stood
in that attitude for nearly fifteen min
utes and might have been discovered in
the same pose by the gray dawn of the
morning had not something interviewed.
That something was round and bright,
and it came out Of sixth-story win
dow. It descended slowly, the moon
light shinmering Oh it's silvery surface
and making it conspicuous. Soon it
could be seen that it was on a string
and was being lowered by an elderly
woman. When it dangled over the
portico there was a sudden bur-r-r-r-r-
r-r-r-r-ring and the young man and
young woman parted like an over
strained hawser. The young man
seized the round and bright object,
which was still ringing, and held it's
face to the electric light. The hands
on the alarm clock were clasped at mid
night. He raised his hat to the young
woman, nurmured two words in low
tone and disappeared. The alarm clock
was hoisted up, but the young woman
was upstairs before it finally reached
the ODen window

Birmingham age-herald., 1895-01-04

It Is of peculiar interest to the people of the cape, us he is a native O tho county. He went from Yarmouth boy. His am bition led him to the generally uninyiting country of Siberia, the land of suffering, the dumping ground of Russians conyicts.
 Mir Emery has now resided in Russia for 27 years, where he has established an extensive general merchandise business, with headquarters at Moscow. He has made Il tours of the world, always via Siberia, and naturally has had many thrilling experiences while travelling through this country. While en routc from Mini -Noysorod to Vladivostok ho has changed his horseA as many us 600 times.
 He has become greatly interested in the construction of the railroad across Si- bera which he describes as ono of tho greatest projects undertaken. Tho road, he says, will probably bo completed about 1898 and will result in the rapid dcgelop- mont of the Siberian territory. Tho line, wien completed, will be- 6, TOO miles in length. Its starting point is Chcliabinsk, on the western extremity of Siberia, where it connects with an English system of railways running to St. Petersburg by way of Moscow. About 25 COO men, most ly cxiled convicts, gre being employed in tho construction of the read, which is en- tirely under the supervision of govern lnent commission, of which tho czarowitz is president, and will of course be operated under the direction of tho government when completed.
 Since MT. Emery went to Russia from this country he has accumulated a largo fortune. His stories of wild sledgo rides by night over the ice and snow and of the tigers of the Obi and Amur are ill the highest degree interesting. Hc met George Kennan the first time ho went to Russia and has ever since maintained close ac- quaintnnceship. Although he is 0 Cape Cod Yankee, from his long residence in Siberia he has become throughly Russian ized H has a Slavonic accent and dresses after ti style of the Russian He is tall, spare distinguished looking gentleman, with flowing beard, parted in the middle Mir. Emcry's lifo and experience arc a striking example of what tho adventurous ardor of an American can accomplish in the face of almost insurmountablo diff culties. Hc says that he has lived so long in Russia that he ut times almost doubts his identity with the litto Yankee hoy who loft his New England homo so many years ago.-Provincetown Beacon.

Something About the Social Life at Fort
 Meyer and the Navy Yard.

Something About the Social Life at Fort
 Meyer and the Navy Yard.
 There arc two phases of social life at the national capitol about which people in civil life know little or nothing. Theso are the army social life at tho barracks Fort Meyer-and the naval circle at tho navy yard. In many respects they arc similar, ilasmuch as they constitute lit tic worlds apart from tho general society of Washington. Tho life is free from struggling jealousies and heart burning which characterize the outside world. There is simplicity of life, sociability and refinement which make an army or naval station peculiarly attractive Tho hospitality is unbounded. People arc ex- pected to live within their means. They know exactly what they arc going to get, and they gauge their expenditures accord ingly.
 It is moro like family than a social circle. The bonds which bind army and naval men to each other are among tho strongest. There is always a feeling of comradeship among them all which does not obtain in civil life. Tho high stand ards of character, courtesy and duty re- quired officially have their effect upon the social life. Men cannot live beyond their pay, beat their creditors or islander brother officers without being brought to book and held to account. Tho code of manners and morals, therefore, is higher than it is in most soical life and among commercial people.
 Thero are always lot of friendly and informal little entertainments, in which people arc thrown together in q charming way, free from tho conventional buckram of the grand functions of society. To young girls the life i1 particularly attract i've and charming. They havo the society and attention of well bred and well cdu- cated young fellows, who arc always at their service and never fail to do every thing in their power to contribute to their pleasure. Tho married couples havo pret- ty, tasteful establishments with all tho modern comforts and conveniences and without tho fear of burglars, tramps, book agents and thioving servants Tine rela- tions among tho families arc kindly and neighborly, and in times of sickness and sorrow sympathy and assistance are prompt.

T..e Story Telling Meter.

It has for long time been tho belief thht meters for gas and water were not as reliable as the companies would like to have consumers believe. Interested per sons at Mannheim, Germany, have been Investigating meters, with results not at all favorable to tho meters themselves Many of them have registered far moro than was consumed, and, as q rule, they were neither accurate nor regular. The vibrations duo to bad plumbing and other causes accounted for some of the waste, ard check valve and air chamber were recommended in order to equalize the pressure. It is said that very sudden shut ting off of either gas or water will cause the meter to oyerrcgister Thcce should be some simple and effective way to regu- late meters. As matters now stand the producer has things all his own way, and tho consumer has no redress whatever.- New York Ledger.

How Young Dent Said Grace.

Ono of tho best stories Mrs. Grant tells is not of her husband, but of her brother, Grants friend and roommate at West Point. While shc was still Julia Dent he came home on furlough with real boyish longing for homo fare and home delicacies. He petitioned particularly for corn dodg- CTS, but cook was cross or the oven was out of order, so that only two of tho de- sired cakes came to table. Young Dent eyed them calculatinely and then sur pr;sed his mother by asking permission to say grace. Whom this was accorded, the harum scarum lad folded his hands, and lowing his head reverently said:
 Two corn dodgers for four of us.
 Thank the Lord there are no more of us.

 A certain earl whose disregard of dress is quite proverbial called at his tailor's to pay his bill A new manager came for ward to receive the cash, and not knowing his lordship took him for servant He examined tho account and after reccipting 1t slipped sovereign into the supposed servants hand, at the same timo saying confdentially:
 That Is sovereign for yourself, and you know if you had only been a little bit sharper it would have been two. You don't get your masters clothes worn out half quick enough. In that time he ought to have had double the amount on that bill, and it is really worth your while to get harder brush.'
 With half grin the earl replied, Well, I've always thought my brush uncom- monly hard and anyhow his lordship complains of it.

Drawing a Line,

A young Virginian in frocks had been scolded by his grandfather for taking pre- serves from tho dining room closet with out permission. Tho old lady, with much impressivcness of tone, told the little fel- low that it was wicked to take things without asking for them, and that all though he might have thought there was nobody near him when he took tho pre- serves God was really watching him and keeping an account of his actions The boy looked solemn and made no comment on tho lecture. Later his mother saw him standing near the back porch in an atti- tude denoting meditation. The household dog, big Newfoundland, was romping near him. He was not in a mood to play and walked away from the dog, which followed him. He turned, shook a chubby finger at tho dog and exclaimed:
 ''Go way, Jack. It's bad 'nough to have bod follering me aroun, let alone you. '-Ncw York Sun.

The Laundrynan.

There is ono branch of trade which runs on in an even tenor regardless of prices and crashes. That is the laundry business. People who patronizo laundries never econ omize on their linen. A man will average about so many shirts collars and cuffs a week when he is cutting down on his drinks and cigars and his theater tickets. And this observation recalls the fact that tho laundryman never has any innovation in his business. He will ruin about so many shirts and collars and cuffs every threo months and never say a word about it or make any deduction-if you keep Quiet.-Chicago Tribune.
