this put the whole business of the

The Policy OF Worry.

If a great government Is intent on
some project Of importance and is re-
sisted by another great government. ii
tries to make itself unpleasant to that
government in every quarter of the
world. threatens its rival s plans. abuses
its rivals agents, and even condescends
TO irritate its statesmen by otherwise
purposeless delays.
One state displeased with another will
try to prevent the subjects of the other
from obtaining concessions, or will
put on annoying little additions TO its
tariff. or will try to defeat it at some
third court in obtaining some trifle upon
which its heart is supposed to be set. II
will raise embarrassing questions purely
forward arms to rebels or savages mere
ly in order to make its opponents ex.
petition more sanguinary or expensive,
or will stir up some small outlying
power to plead claims of which it had
never previously thought.
Above all, an irritated government in
these days will turn on sort of press
tap and while its accredited agents re.
main as impassive as before, will.
through "semiofficial organs, utter
menaces which 40 years ago would have
been considered preludes to war. and
would have drawn from a man like
Lord Palmerston the toughest of re.
Dukes. In plain English, the govern.
ments. like Irish Nationalist, have
learned to regard worrying as part OF
their stock in trade. London Spectator.

inches long, filled with straw; an IN

of the family, each member apparently
having his or her private chest bearing
the name, place of abode and date OF
birth of its owner, along with some
more or less barbaric design. On row
of pegs placed not far from the ceiling
and extending nearly round the apart
ment hang the Sunday clothes Of the
family, suit to each peg, the trousers
legs dangling down, and, late on IN the

people had hung themselves in row.

An African chief explained the other
day TO me that now the consul was put
ting down the killing of wives and
slaves az funerals. chiefs life was
not worth five minutes purchase. be-
cause a dissatisfied wife or q vindictive
slave would now put poison in his food,
thing they were less inclined to do
when the danger of being killed them
selves at the ensuing funeral was be-
fore their eyes. 1t was also told by q
we'll educated native Christian minister
from the Gold Coast that the govern
ments were practically preserving ver-
min in preserving witches. IL seems
the Gold Coast witch lives by sucking
the blood of young children
In old days this was risky for the
witch. Now that the governments say
witchcraft is silly superstition. and
you must not go out and kill people be-
cause of it, the witch. feeling safe.
blackmails and terrorizes over anxious
parents, threatening to suck their chill
dren's blood unless they are bought off.
Every one says it is all nonsense, but
unless the witch is bought off the child
withers away and dies, case of poison
again, perhaps. but both of these cases
illustrate the strange element of COM
mon sense in apparently rank supersti-
tious folly, and save in the inexplicable
trick certain tribes have of killing twin
children, l have always found. in every
Ju-ju superstition. this common sense
element. Whether it or the superstition
mixed now with it came first into the
negro mind l cannot say. but there it
always is. and am sure, even in the
twin case, it is there, and hope some
day in the Hinterland to find it out. -

remarkable relic in the shape of a hu.

1t appears that Shelley, the poet. feared

should be removed Immediately after
death. The queer relic may still be seen

Electric Bitters is a medicine suited for
any season, but perhaps more generally
needed when the languid, exhausted feeling
prevails; when the liver is torpid and slug
gish and the need of a tonic and alternative is
felt. A prompt use of this medicine has
often averted long and perhaps fatal bilious
fevers. No medicine will act more surely in

Fusion IN West virginia.

As a last hope for lost cause the
Democratic politicians In West Virglnla
are ready to hook up with the Populists.
This Is not surprising. They have no
chance to held the state. 1t Is case OF
any port in a storm.
But why should the Populists fall In
with these overtures? The Democratic
idea is that the PopulIsts shall furnish
the votes and the Democrats will take
the plumber. The Democrats are swing
Ing round to the Populists. Their party
is becoming more and more Ropulistic,
After their national convention they
may be nothing more than bob to the
PnpulIst kite.
The proper thing would be for the
Popullsts TO stand their ground and
swallow the Democrats II they wish to
be swallowed. Then the Democrats
would furnish the votes and the Popu-
lists would take the booty, Il they car
rled the state. This would be much
more in accord with the eternal fitness
of things.
