DWARF LIFE IN AFRICA.
African dwarfs, writes or them as fol-
lows in the Independent.

African dWarfS, writes or them as IoI-
lows in the Independent:
Most of these people are smaller
than their Bakoko and Mabeya neigh
bors, but not a., as the dwarf women
are sometimes married into these
tribes. They deserve the name dwarf
more from the similarity of their hab-
its to the true dwarf further inland.
They live q wandering, Indianlike life,
hunting. They have nets 120 feet long
and three or four feet high, number
of which they stretch across the bush,
and the men, women and cnhuren
drive the game into these nets. They
are experts in trapping, too. They do
not stay in one place long enough to
plant, so they trade their game to
their agricultural neighbors for veg
etable food. These Mabeya head men
have a certain kind of ownership over
them, sometimes furnishing them with
powder and guns and nets, and a very
little cloth, for their game during the
time they are in that community. When
not successful in the hunt tho must
depend upon the wild plants, nuts,
honey, which they know so we'll how
to find. hey often have feast and
more often a famine.
Their sheds are from Is to so feet
long, the leaf roof touching the ground
on the side and being about four and a
half feet high On the other side. When
there are high trees the roofs are made
of the bark of one, four or hve feet in
diameter, and often do not have time
to crack and leak before the dwarfs
want to move. Under these sheds are
the pole beds, supported by forked
sticks four or five inches from the
ground. There Is q space left for fire
between every two beds. If they have
any boxes or small tin unKs, LEY
keep them hid In the bush; there ls
nothing to be seen unless they have a
pot or bowl or basket, net or gun,
or native AK; no man Is rich enough
to possess all of these. ] iey can move
all of their possessions on fifteen min
utes' notice; maybe living here today
and two miles away tomorrow. Three
moves do not equal one fire with them.
For amusement a man goes through
violent forms of exercise, trying 10
move as many Of the muscles in his
body at one time as possible, the spec
tators clapping their hands and calling,
beating on sticks and their drums dur
ing the performance. They seem to
believe in one tupreme being who is
good and kind, Lut, Of course, have no
definite knowledge Of him.
They fear the spirits of the departed
and are said to move at once from a
place where one of their number died.
They fear and try to appease many evil
spirits, one of which takes dreadful
form for his punishment.
Among the Mabeyas l know of but
one blind man; yet it is a rule to find
one blind man In a community Of from
fifteen to lily dwarfs and sometimes
as many as three blind ones, made
blind some night by the agent Of this
evil spirit as punishment for some Of
fense.

what ,he 20, Should uavs Said


"No," said the mau with the large
head, "I can't say that 1 think very
much of the fox in the old fable of
The Fox aad the Grapes. Tt is re-
corded Of him that after trying to get
the grapes by every way that his in
genuity could suggest he finally
turned up his nose and said, oh, I
don't care! they're sour anyway
"Now, if that fox had any really
commendable wisdom in his triangular
skull he would have looked at the
grapes blandly, and then have an
nounced to the world that they were
sweet, but that sweets didn't agree
with him; that owing to the condition
of his stomach he considered it mad
visable to eat anything containing
saccharine matter, and that, besides, q
properly philosophical fox believed in
'self-denial and in taking things that
were easily at his disposal, instead Of
trying to climb trellis to secure at
tractive but deleterious grapes.
'If he had done that, instead OF be-
ing the laughing stock of succeeding
generations, he would have stood a
good chance of being appointed pro-
fessor of philosophy ill q subsidized
university, and of living OH yellow
legged chickens for the rest OF his
natural life. ."-Tit-Bits.

A Good Roads League has been

~ a COOu IeOSltS icaSuS LUIS D6eu
formed in Colorado, and is actively
agitating highway improvement needs,
means and methods.
A sample piece of five hundred feet
of steel roadway, the plates being laid
on cement, is to be put down on the
Brecksville road near Cleveland.
8 Over five thousand citizens signed
petition for better street paving and
repair, and presented it to the Mayor
and Board of Public Works of Denver.
To keep down the cost OF repairing
macadamized roads as low rs possible,
they must receive constant attention,
and oil ruts aud depressions be filled
up as soon as they appear.
Sweep off the mud and dust as fast
as they are formed, and fill up the rut:
and bad places with new materials az
soon as they appear, are all that is.
necessary in order to ensure good
roads all the time:
A farmhouse near Osnaburg, Ohio,
took fire the other night, and burned
down, because no engines could reach
.on account of the condition of tho
roads. An old man, who was alono
in it, perished in the flames.
Removal of ruts from tho highways,
says Governor Mount, Of Indiana,
will be the initiative step in getting
out of the ruts in the methods of our
farming, and bring farm life to a
higher plane of intelligent progress.

A Good Roadinaker.

Edwin Mcintyre, who lives q her
nit life in tho house near Warren
where DR.. Pilton r. Baker was shot,
has queer hobby. One of the pret-
tiest and best pieces of road in Maine
passes in front of his retreat. 1t has
been built by Mr.. Mcintyre, who for
tine past twenty-three years has been
picking up the stones and rocks near
his home and pounding them into
pebbles, which he has put in the
highway. In twenty-three years
time he has pounded 100000 stones
and made them ready for road use.
The town authorities, recognizing the
value Of the work, for years have COM
pensated the man by giving him his
road tax. He estimates that he has
placed on the road twenty cords of
these manufactured stones. Other
towns might envy Warren such a faith

GOOD ROADS NOTES.

Good Roads in NIaryIand

To-
II has required much demonstration
to convince the Maryland farmers that
good roads are aproGtable investment.
The work of the agricultural expert
ment stations in this regard has been
Invaluable. Experiments with broad
and narrow tires conducted under the
eyes Of the farmers have definitely
shown the folly of maintaining the
present system of small-tired wheels,
rs long rs the roads are Indifferent or.
positively bad in quality. There, are
two points from which to view the re-
lationship between the, tires. and the
quality Of the road. The experiments
have shown first that as long as the
roads arc in poor condition, subject to
much moisture and thereby liable to
become heavy and muddy at short no.
tice, the use of the narrow tire issa
positive hindrance. It requires more
power to haul a wagon so equipped,
for tho tire sinks deep into the ma
terial of the road and thus forms for
itself constant obstruction that must
be overcome. But the broad tire has
q use other and indeed better than
that of minimizing the labor and
therefore tho cost. of hauling. It cures
the bad conditions that have been
largely caused by the narrow tire,
serving rs a compressor and gradually
compacting the material and greatly
improving it's condition. Thus the
use of the broad tire means double
gain. It saves in the cost of hauling,
by permitting heavier loads to be
hauled by the same agencies and in
less time, and it saves, too, in the cost
of road making and in repairing. 1T
is believed that if all road users could
be persuaded to change the tires of
their draft vehicles, especially in the
districts where bad roads are the rule.
rather than the exception, the ultimate
cost of bringing the country thorough
fares up to q modern standard would
within a very short time be so lowthat
the most comprehensive road improve
ment laws could be passed without
difficulty, The present movement!inl
Maryland is concentrated in an effort;
to secure the enactment by the Leas-
lature Of certain pending bills that aim
at the construction of good roads by
authorizing the people to bond them
selves for this purpose. In some
States much has been done by grant
ing exemptions from road taxes to
those road Isers who have adopted the
broad tires and likewise to those who
have adjusted their vehicles SO that
tho front and rear wheels will not
'tract," thus minimizing tho chances
of wearing the surface of the road. 1t
has been found that with broad tires
in use the amount of surfac:ne ma
terial needed is comparatively small.

A Queer I,nse.q

Ten miles west of Aurora, Ind,
making her homo with her mother on
small farm, lives Lizzie Windhurst,
aged thirty. About five years ago she
experienced most singular dream in
which her death on certain day was
foretold. She related her dream TO
relatives and persisted in regarding it
as q revelation of Ler approaching
death. AS the time was near at hand
she prepared her burial clothes, then
took to her bed and awaited the dis
solution, which she believed would
take place on the 14th of the month.
The 18th passed and she still lives.
Her friends tried to persuade her that
she was not going to die, but she in
sisted that she was, and said it would
occur on the 14th Of the next month.
She continued to lie in bed prepared
for the end. Another 14th passed and
she insisted that it would be the next.
She has refused to leave her bed.
Her faith in the revelation is not, how
over, shaken in the least, and she re-
fuses to leave her bed for even IN
hour. She has prepared ali of Ler
shroud for burial while lying in bed,
and numberless times has Mrs. Cart
wright, kind neighbor, washed and
ironed the garment to humor the poor
girl. -Four times she has worked it
over, but still the faith in the dream
is unshaken. She is seemingly very
rational on every other subject, but
any allusion to her revelation irritates
her and she suffers physical pain.
Her relatives and friends have at last
decided to let her have her own way,
fearing that excitement might kill her.
Fer malady is considered monomania.

EATING Rcfnre S1cepIn-.

A short time since physicians held
the eating of food Immediately before
retiring almost n crime. The old
theory is quite exploded. One NELL
cal journal, in commenting on the sub
jeca recently, said that while it is not
good, as matter Of fact, to go to bed
with the stomach so loaded that the
undigested food will render one rest
less, still something of light, palat-
able nature in the stomach is one of
the best aids to quietudo and rest.
The eprocess of. digestion goes on in sleep
with as much regularity as when one
is taking violent exercise to aid it, and
SO something in the stomach is very
desirable for the nights rest. Some
physicians have declared, indeed, that
q good deal of the prevalent insomnia
is the result of an unconscious craving
of the stomach for food in persons who
have been unduly frightened by the
opinion that they must not eat before
going to bed, or who have, like many
nervous women, been keeping them
selves in state of semi-starvatipn.
Nothing is more agreeable on retiring
for tho night than to take bowl of
hot broth, like oatmeal grucl, or some
good, nour1shing soup. 1t is posi-
tive aid to nervous people, and induces
peaceful slumbcrs. This is especially
the case during cold winter nights,
when tho stomach Graves warmth as
much as any other part of tho body.
Even glass of hot milk is grateful to
the palate on such occasions, but a
bowl of light, wcll-cooked Cruel is bet
ter, and during the cold months OF
winter should be the retiring food of
every woman who feels, as many do,
the need of food at nigLt.-Ncw York
