His First Glimpse Of the Sea.

King Prempeh, of Ashantee, never
saw the sea until the other day, when,
as prisoner Of the English, he was
brought down to the coast and EN-
tarked on the war ship that had been
designated to take him to the place
of exile, where he must spend the rest
of his life. The beach was crowded
with dense throng of natives, who
shouted and sang, and made a tremen-
dous din, when Prempeh and his com
panions came in sight The expression
on the kings face when he first beheld
the ocean was one of blank astonish-
ment, not unmixed with alarm, but he
soon recovered himself and talked vol
ubly in the farewell interview which
he had before embarking. A detach-
ment of the West Yorkshire battalion
entert surf boat, and Prempeh was
placed in their midst. The chief inter
prefer followed closely in the wake Of
the boat conveying the king, whose
every movement was plainly visible.
His novel surroundings evidently made
great impression upon Prempch, and
when the Raccoon was reached and
boarded, he was quite lost in wonder.

NOW HE HATES DOGS.
Compassionate Man Takes Care of u Collie
and Is Berated for Thief.

anu lb IOT u lnicis
Somehow or other Scotch collie got
OH Northwestern train at Melrose the
other morning, and as that was the last
stop coming in the poor dog--though
against the rules-made an unwilling
trip to the city. She didn't understand
the game at all. She put her paws up
on the door and looked out to the right
and the left at the rapidly-rushing, fa'
miliar objects, and then at the country
she never had seen, and then she stood
down and looked through the crowd OF
interested but unknown people, and
couldn't find friend.
However, there was man in the car
who deserves the Mohammedan's
heaven, because he is kind to all dumb
creatures, and he volunteered to take
care of the collie. He pettcd her and
coaxed her and held her by the collar
when she got restless, and all the pas
sengers laughed at her. He took her
TO his place of business and tied her to
the foot of the safe, and brought in a
sandwich at noon and sent the boy down
Tor mucliage pot full of milk, and then
I'D her to the station in the evening.
"You can't take dog in the car"
Laid the brakeman.
The compassionate man tried toexplain
yhe circumstances, but it was asking too
r.uch of the brakeman to expect him to
understand, so the collie went into the
baggage car, and as she whined when
re turned to leave he went back and sat
beside her on trunk, paying her fare
IL, well as his own, and led her out tc
ss,e steps as the train reached Melrosc.
Now, it happened the owner was right
tl,ere at the depot, never dreaming of
HIS dog, but he recognized her as the
train slowed up, and, leaping to the
platform, tore her collar from the hand
Of the compassionate man.
"You COMPOUNDED dog theft" he cried
The compassionate man smiled and
tried to show how kind he had been.
''Ill break your jaw!" yelled the
owner. "I'll have an officer here next
time you go through this town, and
| nj"
But the train started, and the angry
dog owner clipped off" regretfully.
What wounded the compassionate
man most deeply-eyen more deeply
than the chilly glances of the passen-
gers-was the spectacle of that I'M

rnse man and telling him she loved

South African Grains.

They have crab out there that
climbs the cocoanut trees and bites off
the nuts and let's them fall to the
ground. Then he backs down the tree
and eats the fruit. The natives who
inhabit the regions infested by this i'll
conditioned crab are well aware that
the lower portion of the crabs anatomy
is soft and sensitive, and they believe
that the crustacean was thus con.
structed in order that he might know
when he had reached the ground, and
when, consequently, he might with
safety release his grasp of the trunk.
So what they do in order to stop the
depredations, which often ruin the
cocoanut crop, is this: While the crab
is engaged in nipping off cocoanuts
they climb half way up the trees and
there drive row of long nail, RICH.
around the tree, allowing an inch or SO
Of the nails to project. The crab has
no knowledge of disaster, nor vet of the
fitness of things. AS he descends the
sensitive part of his body suddenly
touches the nails. Thinking he has
reached the a1ound he naturally let's
go. Instantly he falls backward and
cracks his own shell on the ground

FEMININE FASHIONS.
Pretty Accessories to the Costumes Of the
Season.

behAOns
Trim, taut and prominently smart
are some Of the new spring coats that
are shaped to suit every form and every
fancy. Some are belted, others finished
with strapped seams and gay lining.
Some are tight-fitting in the back,
with loose box-fronts, and again are
open-fronted styles with immense re-
vers that continue into spreading cape
collars, the revers and collar covered
with velvety white cloth, stitched with
rows of white silk, or the facing is Of
white satin, wrought with colored
beads and spnngles.
The very elegant Louis coats are lined
with Persian satin or brocade, but the
cloth jackets, as rule, have plain silk
or satin Innings. White Liberty satin
is Partisan fancy for Innings for tan,
gray, brown and black coats; but these
soil quickly, and more durable jackets
are of dark-green cloth, with lining Of
light cress-greeh, those of golden
brown with pale amber, gray coats
have violet or old rose Innings, etc., and
the short ruffle skirts of these jackets
are so shaped that they reveal glimpses
of the pretty lining. A number of the
black jackets for youthful wearers
have handsome plaided satin Innings.
but there is no decoration ON the out
side but the costly buttons.
Among pretty and novel Access
series to the toilet are quaint little
frilly neck decorations made of white
and also of colored satin. They are put
at the top of the straight neck-band
and stand well away. from the throat

used on many styles Of dress. Gal
looms both wide and narrow are made
great use of, and are to be found in al

Alpaca and mohair used to be count
ed an economical purchase, and per
haps they deserve the reputation
they have acquired, but as now solC
they can by no means be called cheal
fabrics, and shoppers are often sur
prised to find them quite as expensive
as silk, excepting, perhaps, the yer.
finest qualities of silk. 1t must, how
ever, be said for them that these ma
terials are double width, and the fac
that mohair is one of the most fashion
able dress fabrics, if not quite the mos
fashionable, must not be overlooke'

One Insect Pulled Phenomenal Load of

l recently performed an experiment
In rather crude way to test the draw
ing powers-not lifting, but pulling
of the common katydid. Seeing the
katydid and noting it's well-developed
muscular system. suggested the idea
of testing its strength. From the want
Of something better / took sheet OF
ordinary note paper (size Sx10 inches)
and folded it once. The corners of one
end were folded together and piece Of
ordinary thread Is inches long was at
tached TO it. The other end was tied
around the mesothorax, passing be-
meath the katydid. The first trial
proved that it was no task at all to
pull this paper on smooth-topped
table with no covering. Next IL
pieces of heavy paper, 3x4h inches in
size, were added one after another, and
large screw, two steel pens, small
stone weighing about two ounces, were
placed on the paper. These were
drawn without any great effort on he
part of the katydid. After giving il
short rest | added new lead pencil
having tin tip with rubber on it
This was drawn easilyi a second LEND
pencil was added. 1t required some
effort to start The load, but after it was
in motion it was drawn slowly, tlnrd
lead pencil was added. The katydi6
was unable to start at first, but resort
ed to somewhat curious expedient, a,
is crawled to the edge of the table and
pulled, while it's left feet were on top
of the table and its right feet were or
the edge, with it's body directly over
the corner. In this position it was
able to move it's load slowly for a short
distance. | then laid half lead pencil
on the paper. 1t was unable TO move
the load at first with this additional
weight, but after moistening each one
of its feet in turn by placing them al
its mouth and exuding some sticky
substance it was barely able to move
the burden. The entire load pulled il
the last trial was the original sheet o.
paper, on which the other things were
laid; 10 sheets of heavy paper, 3x4K

"If l were only able to flirt, l could

Of late, after the many social func-
tions we had attended, had noticed a
disposition on the part of my wife to
answer only vaguely to my inquiries
as to whether she had enjoyed herself
at Mrs. So-and-So's musicale, or Miss
Somebody's reception; but never sup
posed for a moment there was any
thing serious on her mind, as the above
somewhat gloomy expression indicated;
SO turned all attention to hear what
might be called a confession.
Maybe you would not be averse to
being given an opportunity to use my
insurance money; or else judge in the
divorce court might be prevailed upon

But here my remarks were cut short
by demonstration that would hardly
look well in words-in fact should be
at loss how to express such mani
festation of feminine protestation.
When she had resumed state that

forth:

IN THE TORRlD ZONE.
The Difficulties of Tropical Climates for
Europeans.


Europeans.
In America it is the uplands Of Mex
leo, Peru and Bolivia, or along the arid
coast of the Pacific, and not in the
real tropical climate of Brazil, where
the Spaniards have succeeded most
fully. They have also done well in
Cuba, to be sure, but the cases are en-
tirely dissimilar. And to reason, from
the French success in Algeria, that tho
same would ensue in the Congo basin, in
Madagascar, or in Cochin China, is to-
tally to misconceive the real limitations
OF q tropical climate. The relative diff
cultics to be encountered in these sew
eral cases may be roughly indicated by
the mortality of soldiers. In Cochin
China it is almost exactly double that in
Tunis; and this is, roughly speaking,
measure of the difference between
mere torrid climate as distinguished
from one which is very humid as well
as hot, for humidity means that mala-
ria is superadded to all the other diff
cultics inherent in climate alone.
The heat in n tropical climate be-
comes important but indirectly, be.
cause it is the cause of humidity and
generally accompanies it. In the TEN.
perate regions humidity goes with cool
weather, except in the dog days, whilo
within the tropics heat prevails just
when radiation through perspiration
is most retarded by moisture in the at
mosphere. This, in combination with
the enforced lack of exercise and it's at
tendant excretion, forms the double
cause of physiologic disturbances. The
blood is not properly purified and an
aemia ensues, if the more immediate eff
fects do not manifest themselves in
intestinal disorders.
Everything which conduces TO give
a variety to the climate of the tropics
affords relief. The alternating sea
and land breezes of islands make them
more amenable to European civil
ization. Especially when these is
lands are volcanic or mountainous Is
the strength of these tempering ele-
ments increased.-Prof.W William 2. Rip
Icy, in Appletons Popular Science
Monthly.
