EXHIBITING AFRICA.
White InterIOpers Are Wrestling the
Continent from the Hands
of the Blacks.

It is fitting time at the end of the
century to exhibit Africa, and now I'M
der the new masters. Like poor Poland,
it has been fully partitioned, though,
unlike Poland, not torn limb from limb,
says the independent
What political changes the next cen
tury Will bring in continent which has
~
interested the world for thousands Of
years cannot be foreseen; but there is
no probability that a great native ne
gro kingdom will rise. The control is
likely to continue where it is now
placed, in European hands. The few
states that may be called native have
no promise of permanence. The destiny
of the two Boer republics is absorption
in British South Africa. Independent
Morocco and semi-independenl Tripoli,
on the Mediterranean, have no future
of their own. Sooner or later they will
go to swell the possessions of France
and other European powers.
We must regard Africa, therefore, as
an appanage of Europe. The white
races which pushed back the natives
and settled and control the American
continent, from Cape Barrow to Cape
Horn, dominate all the other CONT
nents, and the black tribes of Africa,
as we'll as the brown and yellow of Asia,
are subject to their rule. The greatest
of the Asiatic Kingdoms is in process of
decay, and its partition has already be-
gun. 1t seems terribly unjust for the
white -interlopers to wrest two conti-
nents, America and Australia, from the
aboriginal men and make them their
own; to take another from the Asiatic
races and erect their standards over it,
and, finally, to take Africa from the
blacks and subject it wholly to their
will.

The women of Japan have often been
misunderstood. BY these who have
known them they have been pro
nounced the best part of Japan. They
have been described as gentle, graceful,
beautiful and self-sacrifcing. Not only
in those gentler virtues, but also in
some sterner aspects of life, the jap
anese woman has shown time and again
what she is made CT. Anyone who
speaks against the purity of the Jap
anese woman knows not whereof he
talks, or is vile slanderer who would
deprive the woman of what is most
precious to her. AS the mistress of the
family, she has as much real authority
in the family as her western sister.
AS mother she is paid great Difference
by her children. In society, a lady is
always treated with respect. There are
some respects in which changes are
desirable, but, on the whole, [ have no
hesitation in saying that the position of
woman in Japan is very high one,-

COLLINS CoNCEIT.
How an InsuGerable Egotist Tried to
Give Glory to the Tomb of
Washington.

Human conceit was the theme of
little group of men the other day, and
one reliable citizen told this remarkable
story;
"I've known conceited men in my life
time, but there is picture somewhere
in this town which illustrates an excess
of self-approval not often encountered.
| have not seen the picture for several
years, and would like to show it in proof
of my story, but to borrow or steal it
would doubtless beimpossible. A num-
Der of years ago, when the Mount Yer
non association had been organized to
reclaim and preserve the old home of
George Washington, this acquaintance
of mine-Collins by name-went on
summer excursion to the national cap
ital. While there he made trip down
the Potomac river to Mount Vernon,
and happened to be on the grounds
when the Mount Vernon association
was having photographs taken of vari-
Gus points of interest, including the
old tomb of Washington, the new tomb,
etc. When the new tomb was photo
graphed, various men of national prom
inence being in the group standing be-
side the mausoleum under the fine trees
which shade it, Collins, unlimited, by
some hook or crook, managed to slip in
among the bystanders, and thus be-
came figure in the photographs. This
was bad enough, but the sequel is
worse. He brought the picture home
with him and, unless the enraged gods
have destroyed it, it still hangs in his
parlor along with other monstrosities
of bad taste, bearing under the photo
graph this legend:

ICE CREAM CENTURIES AGO.
T,,a ua,,c,ous summer COnfectioa
: First Manufactured In AtaiY-
How 1t Originated.

Early June days generally see the ice
cream and soda parlors doing a stead
lily Increasing business. Ice cream is
a much older sWeetmeat than many
persons suppose. In the beginning of
the seventeenth century goblets made
Of ice and also iced fruit-that is, fruit
frozen over were first brought to
table. The limonadiers, or lemonade
sellers, Of Paris, endeavored to increase
the popularity of their wares by icing
them, and one, more enterprising than
the rest, an Italian named Procope
Couteaux, in the year 1860, conceived
the idea of converting such beverages
entirely into ice, and about 20 years
later iced Hquors-that is, liquors
changed into ice-were the principal
things sold by the limonadiers. BY the
end of that century iced liquors were
quite common in Paris.
Ice. cream, or iced butter" as it was
first called, from its supposed resem-
blance to that substance, soon followed.
1t was first known in Paris in 1774.
Due de Chartres often went at that time
to the Paris coffee-honses to drink a
glass Of iced liquor, and the landlord
having one day presented him with his
farms" formed in edible ice, this kind
of sweetmeat became the fashion. Ger
man cooks at once took up the new art.
1t was not long in reaching England, for
in 1776 a French cook resident in Lon
don, named Clermont, wrote "The
Modern Cook" in which sweet ices were
first described for the instruction of
English cooks. The ice cream of
these days is an enormously elaborated
sweetmeat compared with that of the

Homes of the tn.hracite Miners.

Each little house, with the boxes,
cubby-holes, and fences about it, has
been built by the man who lives in it.
And he is a laborer, struggier for
mere existence, not deft in the use of
tools, nor with an eye for the sym
metrical, nor with an appreciation for
anything beyond the most primal facts
of living. The roofs of the buildings
slant at all angles, with no two sides OF
the same length or detection. One por-
tion will have caves, while its compan-
ion will seorn the luxury. The same
incongruity prevails everywhere. Sone
Of the small openings used for windows
are high, while others are low. One
door viii open in, and another out.
The hinges have evidently come from
the company scrap-pile, and the staples
and latches and locks from the same
source. Some of the roofs have shin
giles, others weather-boards, while
others are formed of great pieces of
rusty sheet-iron.-Ja cambridge, in

ont of Left-Handed Guns.

A man gave a dinner recently at a
fashionable restaurant. A man from
Minnesota was one of the guests. When
the coffee was brought on the Mirneso-
ia man engaged the attention of the
waiter. Il beg your pardon" said he,
politely, "but am left-handed. Won't
you kindly bring me cup with the
handle on the left side?" Certainly,
sir" replied the waiter, and withdrew.
A few minutes later he was seen to re-
enter the dining-room and whisper to
the head waiter. The head waiter i'm
mediately hustled out. Presently he
returned. He was visibly distressed as
he made bis way to the Minnesota man.
I'm very sorry, sir" he said, apolcget-
ically, "but we haven't any cups in the
house with the handles on the left side.

serve the reputation of the house, you
see, sir, we have so little call for them

troubles from a Lucky Grave site.


When the former minister of law, Cho
Pyeng-sik, was governor Of Chungchong
province he was told by geomancer
that the site of one 0 Hen-keun's house
was the luckiest spot for a grave. Gov.
Cho asked 0 to give him that site, but
the latter refused. Then the governor
changed his tactics from diplomacy to
force. He issued proclamation cbarg-
ing o with being the most undutiful son
in the province, and his whole family
as immoral. The law requires the gov
ernor to exterhinate such criminals
from the face of the earth, and he (Cho
Pyeng-sik) dispatched a company of
the governors bodyguard to the town
where the o family lived, destroying
every house in the village, anil killing
eight persons and injuring six. After
thus exterminating the O's the governor
appropriated the site of their house and
built a vault on it for his future grave.
The court has now restored the proper
ty to the lawful heirs and made Mr..
Cho pay an indemnity of 900 for the
murder of the eight persons.-

LIZARDS WHICH WALK ERECT.
widely Separated Members of This
Curious Little gaamiIy Have
Same Habit.

When drawing attention about a year
ago to the bipedal movements of GER
tain Australian lizards, notably the
comical little chlamydosaurus, or
"frilled lizard" whose photograph is
now familiar, Mr.. Saville-Kent referred
to an unconirmed rumor that the
Mexican iguanoid lizard also possesses
the power of running on its hind legs,
being led to this by the correspondence
in general structure of the creatures,
especially the abnormal length of the
hind limbs. He publishes letter from
a gentleman living in the West Indies,
which shows that there also all the
lizards, from the large tree iguana five
feet long, down to the tiniest mites
\
are accustomed to run erect on their
hind legs when hurried, says Nature.
The correspondent adds the interest
ing Information that on the.rocks about
the watershed of the Guiana are old
drawings Of lizards running erect. Mr..
Saville-Kent points out that this pc
culiarity, which year ago was doubted
by many naturalists, but which has
now been shown to be common, de-
serves attention as pointing to bipedal
locomotion in some remote ancestor.

SHIPPING FISH ALIVE.
Delivering Finny Food
Far Inland.


A new method Of transportation for
live fish from seaports into the interior
has just been patented by Danish fish
dealer Of Copenhagen, and the system
is so simple and yet SO perfect that one
wonders why it has never been thought
of before, says the Philadelphia Rec
ord The inventor had a number of
large bags made Of Waterproof mate
rial, strong oilcloth appearing to give
the best results These bags, after be-
ing filed with water and the fish to be
sent inland, are laced at the top and
either suspended in the cars from hooks
in the roof of the car or from folding
frames taking almost no space and al
lowing the close hanging of these baSse,
SO that there is but little movement be.
tween the bags. They may also be set
upright alongside each other, but sus-
pension has been found to be prefer
able, particularly for long distances.
Several transports of fish made over
long distances have shown the splendid
features of the new system, for the fish
arrived III excellent condition after
