A ROMANCE FROM AFRICA,
The story of . Treasure-Ingenious and
NAV he True.

Englishmen are pedatory creatures,
and the London papers do not hesitate
to express annoyance because the expe-
dictionary force recently sent against
King Prempeh found at Coomassie
only a meager number of gold orna-
ments, and hollow ones at that, says
the New York Times. The value of the
loot taken from the royal palace" was
only about $4,000 and made a poor
showing when exhibited in London, as
compared with the results of ore 'ous
raids. Now a correspondent writing
from Accra tells story which il true
"a very large "f'-will make the
British officers wish they had not left
the Ashanti capital quite so soon. He
says: "Sonce years ago slave girl OF
surprising beauty-of the Ashanti type
bein entendu-had the misfortune to
attract the tickle fancy of a chief,
whose head wife tolerated no rivalry.
To reproach a husband 10 generally
useless; in Coomassie it is dangerous.
The lady, wise in her generation, fore
bore to risk her head, but sent for the
executioner and caused the ears and
lips of the too fascinating maiden to be
removed. rendering her such an object
as can only be seen in savage king
doms. History does not say il the ex-
pedient answered the purpose OF re-
storing the chiefs wandering affections
to their rightful owner, but the slave
girl developed, not unnaturally, into
woman with an undying thirst
for revenge Lately she sought an
audience with the governor, and
she informed him that the real
treasure of the Ashantis lies buried
some fifty feet below the soil, in dis
used shaft of a mine near Coomassle,
and readily undertook to point out tho
spot. Digging is being vigorously car
ried on, already more than fourth OF
the depth has been cleared, and should
the treasure amount to anything ike
the rumored value, the cost of the ex-
petition will be fully betrayed, making
the Ashanti war record one, as not
only bloodless. but free of cost"

you do to your bathing.

That brings me back TO the pei sonal
attention night and me rnirg. Every
girl and every woman-every man for
that matter-should bring all the mus
Giles of the body into action with few
simple exercises as regularly as they
awaken in the morning and retire for
the night. This should be dore before
the bath. To devots forty-five minutes
to yourself in the mcrning is a small
part of the day, and then you are ready
for anything and everything and glad
you are alive.
Here are some simple exercise: First
in importance is the liver. Destroy its
sluggishness by raising first ore arm
and then the other above the head, as if

twenty time and press with all your
strength against the imaginary barrier.
Then with your toes in line and your
knees firmly together. turn your body
from the waist up, from side To side, as
far as it will go. twenty times. BY this
time your heart will be galloping, and it
is better to take a quick cold sporge
bath, and not tire yourself with other
exercises until you get accustomed to

personal attention. but try these liver
exercises with the throat and neck exer-
cises, and will tell you more at another
