 Finally Lays an Egg,
 The other evening woman boarded a cable car with Il basket. All went well until suddenly loud cacEling came from her burden. The woman was nat urally much embarrassed, and, while blushing painfully, pretended to ray no attention to the obstreperous chicken which was being carried home. The caclSling continued, much to the amuse- mcnt of the passengers, who were con yulsed with laughter Nor did they att tempt to conceal their amusement, which embarrassed the woman even more. She failed to see anything funny in being made the butt of fun for ten or fifteen passengers. The caclsling chick en seemed to have no compassion on her owner, for she persisted in keeping up q continuous noise, notwithstanding the gentle shaking and the frequent "hush' which the woman gave her. As the caclling kept up, says the Pittsburgh Dispatch, the embarrassment of the woman wore off, and q faint smile il- luminated her face. When the chicken had been cacliling proudly for ten min utes. she concluded to open the basket to see what was the matter. Imagine her surprise and the amusement of the passengers when she picked up a trand- new egg which the chicken had laid in transit.

Feud Settled by Marriage.

A feud lasting over ten years, in which blood was twice spilled, once on a church step, has ended by the marriage of William Hyland and Jessie Potter at Maidstone, Ont. X decade ago William began to court Jessie, ard her parents seriously objected, even to the point of kicking Hyland from the house, setting the dog at him, blazing away at him with shotgun, and later attacking him on the church steps. The church, even, was divided on the affair: families were set against each other, and two or three court cases grew out of it. Hyland had perseverance and Jessie was constant. and, despite the combinations of clubs, shotguns and fierce dogs, they succeed cd in ending their ten years courtship. When Jessie's father and brother heard of the ending they decided that IIy- land had fairly won his bride, and sent word to him to come over to the house, that all was forgiven. Maidstone peo- pie are singing psalms of rejoicing over the happy culmination of the long fight

MEN WORSE THAN APES,
Revolting Customs of Some of the African Irlhes.


 The cannibalism of the black secret society known as the Human Leopards, in the country near Sierra Leone. dis. closed by the recent trial, brings forci- bly before us the difference between the East African and the West African hab- its of eating human flesh. The Sherbro canntbals waylaid and killed their vic. tins and afterward feasted on their flesh. The cannibalism of the east coast is of q very different kind. The flesh of the old pcople-the grandfather and grandmother of q family-is dried and mixed with condiments and DOT tion of this is offered, with dim sort of sacramental meaning, to travellers whS become guests of the family. To re- fuse it would be deadly insult. To ac- cept it is passport to the privileged position of a friend of the house. Many Of our travellers in East Africa have eaten thus sacramentally of the nn- cestors of some dark-skinned rotentatc
 The cannibalism of the west coast is, hs has just been seen, of more horrible kind. The Sherbro case seems to be connected with fetichism, tho worst de- veloPments of which are peculiar to that country; but there is a hidcously genuine appetite for fresh human flesh still existing among the negroes of West Africa. This cannibalism mani- fcsts itself iH refinement of gluttony whicn has its mild analogy in the tastes of Europeans. Young boys are brought from the dark interior, kept in pens, fattcned upon bananas and finally killed and baked. To these Thycstean fcasts come not only the savage chiefs of the interior, but also, it is whispered. black merchants from the coast Men who appear at their places of business in English territory in broadcloth and tall hats, who ape the manners of their white masters, are said to disappear an nually into the interior, where, we are told, they might be seen, in naked say agery, taking part in the banquets on plump boys, in which they delight. Be this as it may, somehow the native of the west coast and it's IIinterland is unlike the East or South African native in the deep-lying savagery and the ex. traordinary facility for returning to il which are his leading and very unplcas- ant characteristics. The subject claims the attention of the anthropologist, and certainly suggests a curious reason for questioning the relationship of the black man and the ape or the gorilla, seeing that the race of monkeys seems 10 be singularly free from anything lik" cannibalism. - London Saturday Re view.

 Steamers.
 Those of our readers who have had the curiosity to examine the appoint ments and equipments of excursion boats such as ply about the bays and harbors of the Atlantic coast, says Busi- ness, may have noticed on the main deck weighted and suspended pointer, so arranged as to indicate by its swing ing movements the deviation of the boat from even keel. Some weights on wheels, commonly termed "chain boxes" are at hand for use in evening the load of the boat. As the boat lists to ono side, when the eager sight-seers rush pell-mell to secure some special view, the chain boxes are quickly rolled in the opposite direction, and when, by reason of change in point of interest. the crowd runs to the opposite side of tho boat, the chain boxes in turn are wheeled to the contrary direction. The pointer or indicator, hanging against . post rear the center of the boat, serves to direct the movements of the deck hands with the boxee.

EARLY HISTORY OF CAST STEEL.
How the Secret of Its Manufacture Was
 Revealed to the World.

How the Secret of Its Manufacture Was
 Revealed to the World.
 The history of cast steel presents curious instance of a manufacturing secret stealthily obtained under the cloak of an appeal to philanthropy. The main distinction between iron and steel, as most people know, is that the latter contains carbon. The one is converted into the other by being heated for n considerable time in contact with pow ,lered charcoal in an iron box. Now steel thus made is unequal, The middle of n bar is more carbonized than the ends, and the surface more than the center. It is, therefore, unreliable. Neverthe- less, before the invention of cast steel there was nothing better. In l73o there lived in Attercliffe, near Sheffield, Q matchmaker named Huntsman. He became dissatisfied with the watch springs in use, and set himself to the task of making them homogeneous. "If," thought he, q can melt a piece of steel and cast it into. .an ingot it's com position should be the same through out" He succeeded. His steel soon be- came famous. Huntsmap's iDgots for fine work were in universal demand, He did not call them cast steel.
 That was his secret. About 1770 a large manufactory of this peculiar steel was established at Attercliffe. The process was wrapped in secrecy by everyone within reach. True and faith ful men were hired, the work divided and subdivided, large wages paid, and stringent oaths administered. It did not avail. One midwinter's night, as the tall chimneys of the Attercliffc steel works belched forth, traveller knocked at the gate It was bitter cold. the snow fell fast and the wind howled ucross the moat. The stranger, ap- parcntly plowman or agricultural iaborer seeking shelter from the storm, awakened no suspicion. Scanning the wayfarer closely, and moved by motives of humanity, the foreman granted his request and let him in.
 Feigning to be worn out with cold and fatigue, the poor fellow sank upon the floor and soon appeared 10 be asleep, That, however, was far from his inten- tions. He closed his eyes apparently only. He saw workmen cut bars of steel into bits and place them in cruciblcs in n furnace. The fire was urged to itsex treme power until the steel was melted. Clothed in wet rags to protect them selves from the heat, the workmen drew out the glowing mold. Mir. Huntsman's factory had nothing more to be dis. closed. The making of cast steel had been scovered.-Iuventive Age.

Sea voyages are usually deemed pro- motive of health. So they are in most cases. But it may well be doubted if the shaking up aboard ship, which people of very fragile constitution and weak nerves get, is not prejudicial if it's effects are not averted or nulli- fled by a medicinal safeguard. The best, if we are to believe the testimony of ocean travellers, whether they go abroad for health, pleasure or busi. ness, is Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. Inyalids, commercial travellers, sea captains and yachtsmen concur in rec ommending this fine defensive tonic So do emigrants to the frontier, the inhabitants Of malarious regions, and all who are opposed to hardship or rigors of climate. For malarial, rheumatic or kidney trouble nervous. ness, dyspepsia, liver complaint and constipation, it is eminently efflca. cious, and commended by the medical fraternity far and near.

BILIOUS PILLIOUSNESS.
Why Some Bilious People Take Pills
and Others Don't.

Bi!ousness is much misunderstood.
SO many people have it, that It's worth
understandings, the more SO as it is easy
enough, if you begin right
Liver secretes a fluid called bile. Bile
goes TO the intestines where it performs
important work in digestion Sometimes
bile passages in liver get clogged. This IS
biliousness.
"Tilliousness" is the idea that by taking
a pill which stimulates the liver, we may
cure biliousness. 1t is only an idea
Pill-taking relieves but does not cure it.
The cure can only come through the
stomach.
Why?
BiIiousness is caused by the poison Of
undigested food, irritating the liver. To
cure biliousness these poisons must be got
out of the stomach. The only sure way to
do this is with Shaker Digestive Cordial.
Shaker Digestive Cordial is a pleasant
tonic aid to digestion, prepared from
roots. herbs and wine by the Shakers Of
Mount Lebanon. It helps the stomach to
digest its food, and sweeps out OF the sys-
TEN all dangerous poisons
In this way it cures biliousness, head
ache, nausea, dizziness, bad taste, stom-
loss OF appetite, etc, when other remedies
only give temporary relief.
