1t is rather an odd circumstance, as
showing one of the many differences be-
tween the two sexes. that when Il rich
man dies he generally leaves all of his
property in one. two or three Jumps with
out detailing trif1es, whereas when rich
woman dies she will split all her prop
erty into one, two or three Jumps, us the
case may be, but will invariably leave q
number of small legacies, and particu-
larly will she make requests of all man
ner of trinkets-jewels, fans, laces and
gems-to people whom she has liked in
life. 1t is mark of the same difference
between the sexes which makes a hus-
band forget all the dates of the chill
dren's births, the date when he first saw
his wife, their wedding and other ami
versaries and which makes his wife re-
member them.-San Francisco Call.

THE MAsHONA RISING.
A Young Prospector Relates His Name
of Escape with His Life.

Young PrOspector Relates His Manner
of Escape with His Life.
w. E. Brand, young prospector III
Mashonaland, was one of the earliest re-
ported to have been murdered by the
rebels. A little later, however, he ca
bled his safe arrival at Fort Salisbury.
His parents, living at 1nstow, Bideford,
North Devon, have just received from
him the following graphic description OF
his escape to the fort:
"Groves and myself started from Lo
Magundi on the 10th of June, two days
before the war broke out, with seven
boys, two Mashonas and five Zambezis.
| met two policemen on the road, forty
five miles from town; next morning
both were murdered. | reached the
store on the 18th and met Groves there.
We left the store next morning and
started for Angwe, thirty miles off. AS
we passed along we thought there was
something suspicious, as the niggers all
had guns, and We're hiding in the long
grass. | went up to kraal to ask for
my things which / had left there five
them up; so | cleared. We finished
our work at Angwe and came back.
When we got to the store we saw four
men who had been brutally murdered,
evidently by battleaxes. They were all
lying on their stomachs, and had been
dragged out of the store into the veldt.
They were blown out to a tremendous
size. and when we turned them over their
faces were eaten away. We walked to
Jameson's camp to see if we could find
any more bodies. It was five O'Clock
when we arrived, and had been walking
all day.
''Then we walked. on to Ayres farm,
twenty-five miles, where we thought we
should be safe, but had to shoot both
my Mashonas for safety, and lucky for
me that | did. We arrived at Ayres at
Z a. M, where we thought we were go
ing to have good breakfast, as we had
had nothing to eat for two days l
rushed up to the huts like mad, and just
as I reached the first the brutes jumped
up all round us, with battleaxes and
knobkerries, and yelled. They fred
about twenty shots at us before we
cleared. All the boys were shot, and
they they chased us. One gave me a
blow on the back with a battleaNe, but
only cut through my coat. We shot six.
and ran across q place like the Bur
rows WESTWARD Ho! Golf Links, bull
let's tearing up the ground all round us,
but fortunately never hit us. One bullet
went through my hat, which was not
pleasant. At last we got away. There
must have been 800 or 400 of the brutes.
We cot into a wood and lodged them,
and then my legs gave way and could
go no farther.
''We arrived at Fort Salisbury like two
broken-down tramps, where they had
been in laager fourteen days. They
cheered us as we came in. There have
been some awful murders. Women
with their insides cut out. and legs and
ears torn off. $ s. I have been out

PICKING CHICKENS TO MUSIC.
Customs of the Italian Poultry Dealers
of San Francisco.

The sailor has his musical shanty to
which he keeps time as he trots about
the capstan until the anchor is hoisted
to the peak, the farmer trills lay to
tighten his labors as he pitches hay into
the wagon, and these songs are familiar
to many, but whoever heard or saw a
gang of Italian chicken pickers sing and
denude fowls to the time of music?
Such a scene can be witnessed any Fri
day evening at the Clay street market,
while the employees of the big poultry
houses that have their places of business
there are preparing for sale the chickens
that the housewife buys for the Sunday
dinner.
The men seat themselves in a half cir
Gle and each takes a fowl One stroke OF
a sharp knife across the throat puts the
unfortunate squawking broiler out of it's
misery. and then the foreman of the
gang starts his song. AS they catch the
air and the time the others chime in,
and in an instant the plucking begins.
With rhythmic motion the nimble
fingers grasp the feathers and pull them
out during all the time of the song.
Feathers fly in all directions, but the
song goes on until the last pin-feathers
are removed and the carcasses are tossed
into pile, ready for the man who puts
on the finishing touches and prepares
them for the inspection of prospective
purchasers.
The rapidity with which a chicken is
stripped of it's feathers is astonishing to
the uninitiated who has tried it but a
few times, and so adept have these men
become that they finish their fowls al
most simultaneously, and the process is
repeated in unison. Three dozen birds
are not considered heavy nights work
for one man, and when pressed for time
they manage to compass even more than
that.
The song they sing is remarkably live
ly and sweet. and much resembles the
song of the fishermen as they row their
boats. though the time is much faster

SUFFERING SISTERS.
Curious Coincidence.
From the ErDress. aurora. Ill

From the Express. Aurora. III
"Two years ago." said Mrs. Harry
Rhodes, whose home is at No. / Black
hawk street, Aurora, Kane County, ILL.,,
my life was one of misery because Of
rheumatic affections which the host skill
ed physicians of this city were powerless
to cure. My Affections were of a sciatic
nature, which affected not only my hips
but both legs and feet to such a degrae
that l did not dare to step upon the
ground for fear of bringing on the most
eXcruciating pains.
'"Ihe several physicians to whom I ap-
piled we're DoWerless to aid me, and

almost without hope, when one day !

Shercr's drug store is just across the
street from my husbands place of BUSH

did.

for me. l might almost say that the first
half dozen produced very noticeable eff
feet, for that night obtained sleep with
out the aid of opiates, and with the Sec

the prescribed doses, for several weeks,
when I found myself entirely cured.
MY sister. Mrs. Bert Scott, whose
home was at Duluth. Mimi, was troubled
with rheumatic difficulties similar to
mine. Her trouble was the principal rea-
son for the removal of the family to Chi
cago, where Mr.. Scott is in the plumbing
business. and their home is now at 10
Teale court. They expected the atmos-
phere of Illinois to assist in a cure which
the physicians could not bring about in
the climate of Superior, but my sister be-
came no better, with the very best Of
medical attendance, until l recommended
Dr. Williams Pink Pills to her. AS in
my case, they worked a speedy cure, and
Mrs. Scott is now entirely free from all
rheumatic disorders, and she is as con-
scientious as | am in her praises of the
remedy which has done so much to make
the lives Of two families far happier than
they were two years ago.

WHAT MAKES IRON RUST.
Popular Fallacy that it is Oxidated in
Water Exploded.


Water Exploded.
The old idea that iron rusted or oxi-
dated by uniting with the oxygen of
water and setting free the hydrogen is
now exploded. In the first place it has
been noticed that iron will not rust in
dry air or chemically pure water. Thus,
for instance, in Arequipa, in Southern
Peru. not only will iron not rust in the
open air, but rusty iron brought UP from
the coast will become clear again. II
now seems certain that carbonic acid is
necessary to the rusting of iron, he re-
action seeming to be as follows: First,
ferrous carbonate is formed. This is dis
solved in the slightly carbonate water
and becomes ferrous bicarbonate. This
in turn decomposes in presence of air into
magnetic oxide and this last makes,
with the water, the hydrated ferric-oxide,
or reddishbrown powder, which is known
as iron rust. Electricity, again, seems
to have something to do with it. If Of
two metals soldered together one be cleo
tro-postiye to the other, the oxidation or
rusting will be slower in the positive and
more rapid i'll the negative.-St. Louis
Dispatch.

Chapped Skin i'm the Tropics.

Travellers in Africa tell of a custom al
most universal among the natives-that
of amounting the body with oil. At first
thought to those who have
never been in Africa-it seems dirty
habit 1t seems, however, that the Afri-
cans use the oil to prevent chapping of
the skin. The hot winds of the Nile
region will chap so badly as the North
err of the colder climates and it is not
an uncommon thing-if something is not
done to prevent it-for the skin to crack
open until the blood flows.
