Nature Paints of Negroes.

A writer in Progress Artistique, in discussing the music of south Africa, says the races living there possess to an astonishing degree the faculty of assimilation ara imitation. They re- produce with surprising fidelity the songs of birds. cries of animals and the various sounds Of nature. Child people, they receive in their otherwise obtuse brains impressions of freshness and vivid intensity Their long solitary wandering upon hills ard prairies, unit ed with tieeting association with for eigners, results in a species of melodic nature plaints, as one might imagine, a developed monkey music.

THE TAPER,
Keeps Up an Industrious Racket During
 Absence of Workmen.

A man fell from the housetop in the city of Aberdeen, and was brought into a hospital with broken bones. He was asked what was his trade, and replied that he was tapper. No one had ever heard of such a thing before, says the Amateur Emigrant; the officials were filled with curiosity; they besought an explanation. It appeared that when a party of skaters were engaged upon roof they would now and then be taken with fancy for the public house. Now, a seamstress, for example, might slip away from her work and no one be the wiser, but if these fellows adjourned the tapping of the mallets would cease, and thus the neighborhood would be advised of their dereliction. Hence the career of the tapper. He has to do the tapping and keep up an industrious hustle on the haesetop during the ab- sence of the skaters.
 When he taps for only one or two the thing is childs play, but when he has to represent whole troop it is then that he earns his money in the sweat of his brow. Then must he bound from spot to spot, reduplicate, triplicate, sextuplicate his single personality, and swell and hasten his blows, until he produces perfect illusion for the ear, and you would swear that a crowd of emulous masons were continuing mer- rily to roof the house. It must be a strange sight from an upper window.

UNPROTECTED GAME.
Suggestions for Sportsmen Who Want to
 Shoot Near Cities.

A good many shooters are puzzled to know how they can get practice for bird-shooting near the cities during close seasons without paying for prac- tice at the traps.
 There are several kinds of birds which fly in such manner as to require skill ill the killing, and are not protected by law at any time. Of course, small gauge gun is best for such practice, as it takes more skill to kill with it than with a big gun, and the more skill re- quired the better the practice.
 The kingfsher is a rapidly y-darting flyer, rather shy and hard to kill. With a 2S-gauge gun a. shooters abilities would be we'll tested.
 The English sparrow, if put up badly scared, will give considerable sport, and the man who can get three with two shots out of small flying flock may regard himself as a good shot. Of course, a man wouldn' t aim at the center of the flock, and pull. He aims at par ticular birds, and. if he misses the ones aimed at, he calls the shot miss. Red winged and crow blackbirds fly rap idly, when their nests are not near by They are not protected, and may be found in partly wooded pastures.
 Some sportsmen may object to this as heinz useless slaughter, and it would be if the birds were thrown away. He would dress them all, except the king fishers, which taste fishy, and the pot pie they make would be followed by another before long. The English spar rows make fine stew. as the flesh is al ways hard and sweet.

But, notwithstanding they are now in tn city itself, there are few lots for sale yet at prices corresponding with the "Sound Money Doctrine" of President Cleveland and his cuckoos, which means that kind of a dollar which will buy two dollars worth of property. These lots are near the new elec- tric car line which is now in operation. The lots are in the city and their occupants do not need to ride into town, but the presence of electric street cars is popular and adds market value to the property. Inside of five years this will be business property. Buy lot now for residence and when business crowds you out the rents will SUD- port you in house outside in some addition where you can keep horse and drive into town and collect your rents. Terms, cash in one year, in two years at 10 per cent interest.

The Silent Drummer.
TAge of Steel.

IAge of eyeel.I
 The greatest commercial drummer o1 the present age is the rightly placed advertisement. 1t never tires, hes no hotel expenses, needs no mileage ticket and finds its way everywhere. A slight charge pays for it's transmission from ocean to ocean, and from the Canadas to Mexico. It travels to the outposts of civilization for the merest trifle of cost. It tis 8 vertiable globe tretter. An ad. printed in St. Louis, New York, Chicago or Cincinnati can ba read, thumbed and noted in Cape Town, Cal cutta, Melbourne. Tokio, Hongkong and everywhere else. The carrier pigeon fails to travel so far, the navigator cannot over take it, and even the ubi- quitous telegraph wire has it's terminal behind the footprints of an ad. Nor is this Q useless race with distance, or mere experiment in testing postal facilities. There is money in it. It has commercial value. Itisthe living seed of the future business crop.
 The most successful business men of today recognize this fact and keep the silent drummer in perpetual motion. Those who neglect this means of soli- citing trade are the losers thereby. in not fad, nor can it be g failure. if due prudence is taken in putting the right thing in the right place.

Since 1878 there have been nine cpl denies of dysentery in different parts of the country in which Chamberlain s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy was used with perfect success. Dysen- try, when epidemic, is almost as severe and dangerous as Asiatic cholera. Heretofore the best efforts of the most skillful physicians have failed to check it's ravages, this remedy, however, has cured the most malignant cases, both of children and adults, and under the most trying condition, which proves it to the best medicine in the world for bowel complaints.
