There is a curious spring Jacket closa

basque skirts which stick out so straigbf
that they actually curl upwards
There is a bretelle bodice of ribhops

There is new wide lapel, whose point

point ever did before, to match the dro6p.
ing sleeve.
And there are-but let us make il a stu.
ry: There was once a young woman and
she had 1865 silk waists, one for every day
in the year. But one day she made
fatal mistake She went to a shop and
she saw the brocaded silks and the wa.
tered silks and the glace silks and silk
and chiffon combinations-silks red and
green and blue and all the shades be-
tween, silks with roses, lilies, corn flow
ers, vines, stripes, checks and clan tartan
plads. So she cried This is lean wear
and 1 must have one more for the 366th
day" And because it was impossible 10
choose she bought twenty
Perhaps this story isn't true but Il
might be. You will see for YOURSELF No
where else along the line has the modista
made such skilled and resolute attacks
against the best defended purse as in
the silk waist stock.
Not everybody will wear a silk waist

took down his testimony in writing. The
existence of such race is firmly believ-
ed in by most of the gold coast travellers,
and, among others, by Sir Francis Scott.
Unfortunately, owing to the fact that
the reckoning of the progress of the cara

spot cannot be located. Al Hadti says it

AFRIcA's WHITE NATIVES.
Further Reasons for Relieving There
is Such "a People.

From the London Daily News.
There have always been vague tradi-
tons of white race locked up in the in
terror, but when the tales have come to
be tested the white race generally turns
out to be merely a tribe of lighter colored
Arabs keeping all the characteristics of
the race and having none of the white
mans. But in this race we have some
thing much more correct and precise
Capt barrymore, a present A. d. c. to
Sir Francis Scott was sent up to Koran
"a on a mission, and stayed a considera-
bic time in the capital. He took advan-
tage of the opportunity TO inquire about
this comparatively unknown race and its
neighbors, and was surprised to find that
there was an accepted tradition that there
lived, in indefinite number of days
marches to the northeast, a tribe of white
men. Further inquiry ELECTED the state
ment that they lived on the skirts of a de-
cross. Attempts had been made to avoid
this desert by passing through their coun-
try, but they were found to be so fierce
and so absolutely devoid of fear that the
caravans preferred the dangers of the
desert to the hostility of the white tribe.
Such circumstantial statement induced
Capt. barrymore to make inquiries. and
al length he found a AIohamedan
priest and Hadji, a man of great integrity
and considerable influence. He had been
to Mecca, and it was on his way there
and back that he actually saw with his
own eyes one of his white tribe.
The man in question was armed only
with bow and arrow, but such is the

| EVERY MAN HIS OWN TELESCOPE.
The Wonderful Powers of Vision of
Tribe of African Bushmen.
From the Pittsburg Dispatch.

From the Pittsburg Dispatch
There is a race of men who can see as
far with the naked eye as an ordinary
man can with a telescope. Every man his
own telescope" might be applied with pro-
priety to these fortunate persons. They
live in a wild state in the south of Africa,
among the tribes of Bushmen. The name
"Bushmen" is an Anglicism of the Dutch
word ''Bjoseman," meaning man of the
woods
These human telescopes have derived
their extraordinary power of vision, ac-
cording to Mr.. Herbert Spencer, through
necessity. If it were not for this they must
have long ago become extinct. They are
remarkably small in stature for wild men,
and they offer an easy prey for the large
fierce beasts that infeSt certain parts or
Southern Africa And, on account of Their
diminutive size, they are not able to ngnI
