PYGMiES IN AFRICA,
They Are Found in the Mysterious Re-
 Eiops of the Unner Nile.


 EiOns of the Upper Nile.
 It is no longer possible to class as myths the pygmies of whom the poet of the Iliad speaks in his stories of their wars with the storks. They are found in the mysterious regions of the Upper Nile. The antique literature of Greece has achieved brilliant triumph. Stan icy revealed the existence of the lit tie creatures. At first they attracted the attention only of a. small number Of anthropologists who began investi- gations concerning the dwarfs. Now they have become interesting to all. It is believed that the Wambouttis of the dark continent are brothers of the Accas of the Batouas, who live in the shadows of the Mountains of the Moon, and of the bushmen of Cape Colony. By mingling with other tribes, the lat ter have added to their stature. Cousins have been discovered in other portions of the earth. Dr. Ernst Haeckel, pro- lessor of the University of Jena, writ ing of the primitive inhabitants of Cey- Ion, shows points of affinity between the last survivors of the Weddas in the forests of the Island of Paradise" and the dwarfs recently discoveredin Afri- ca. Investigations undertaken in the neighborhood of Schaffhouse, 800 years ago, have led to the discovery of skele tons of five fossil pygmies. Prof Beech Ter says it is impossible to deny that a race of dwarfs existed in Europe dur ing the second half of the stone age, or neolithic period. The African pyg- mics are superior to the Weddas in in- telligence, but inferior in virtues.

No trouble is more common or more misunderstood than nervous dyspap sia. People having it think that their nerves are to blame and are SUI. prised that they are not cured by nerve med icine and spring remedies; the real seat of the mischief is lost sight of; the stomach is the organ to be looked after.
 Nervous dyspeptics often do not have any pain whatever in the stomach, nor perhaps any of the usual symp- toms of stomach weakness. Nervous dyspepsia shows itself not in the stomach as in nearly every other or gan; in some cases the heart palpi- tates and is irregular; in others the kidneys are affected; in others the bowels are constipated, with head aches; still others are troubled with loss of flesh and appetite, with ac- emulation of gas, sour risings and heartburn.

BREEDS SNAKES TO SELL


The Peculiar Discovery Made by an Eng
lishman In India.
The bounty given by the Indian gov
eminent for snakes heads in order to
exterminate these reptiles has led to a
few of the dishonest natives breeding
them for living.
An Englishman recently travelling
through central India made peculiar
discovery.
In the heart of dense jungle he
came across a rude hut. and close at
hand was a large pit covered with a
tight fitting wooden cover. He found
the occupants of the hut, two disreputa-
BILE looking natives, and asked them the
meaning of the peculiar pit.
They informed him that they were
breeders of snakes and put them i'll the
pit, the bottom of which was covered
over with dried grass and leaves.
They kept the snakes there some six
months, feeding them on all kinds Of
small animals and birds.
They then filled a large earthen pot
with poisonous herbs, lighted it, low
cred it into the pit and secured the
tight fitting wooden cover, and thus
smothered the reptiles.
The cover was allowed to remain on
for few days. 1t was then removed and
the snakes were taken out by means of a
long pole with spike at the end of it.
Their heads were then cut off, and
one of the rogues set out for the nearest
government agency to obtain the boun-
ty, while the other one caught fresh
snakes for the pit.
The snakes very often devoured one
another, but the mothers generally man
aged to bring up their young, though it
was marvel they bred at all in such
place, it being, one would think, con-
trary to their nature. Core

A LIGHTNING STROKE.


The Many Things 1t Did Besides Curing
Dads Rheumatism.
ga few years ago Dad Wright of Sal
visa, this state, had very remarkable
experience with lightning, said gen.
tleman from Garrard county, whose
stock of good and true stories is always
large "His escape from instant death
at the time was miraculous. While
Fastening on foot through an open field
toward his home during terrific thun-
derstorm he was struck squarely on the
head by an electric bolt. 1t stripped the
hair from one side of his brainpan, tore
the clothing from his body and made a
crooked black stripe an inch wide down
his left side from head to foot When
struck, he bounced several feet in the
air and fell back upon the ground as if
dead. The shaft entered the earth,
throwing up shower of mud.
cat the time Wright carried in his
hip pocket loaded revolver Every
chamber of the weapon was discharged,
the woodwork was burned, and the
metal partially fused by the heat. His
left shoe was ripped from his foot. The
unfortunate man lay senseless and
naked for several hours in the drench-
ing rain, but, incredible as it may seem,
finally regained partial consciousness
and began to stagger uncertainty about
over the field. He was in this pitiable
condition when discovered.
He was soon recognized, taken in
charge and conducted to his home,
where he was clothed and given proper
attention.
"As result of the stroke his teeth
and toe nails were loosened, his scalp al
most denuded of hair, and his hearing
permanently impaired. On the other
hand, he reaped an unexpected and de-
cided benefit. For years prior to the oo-
currence here outlined he had been a
great sufferer from muscular rheuma-
tism, but never afterward felt twinge
of pain from that disease, being COM
pletely cured of it by the terrible shock.

left side of his body, indicating the
SCARED path of the electric current,

though various methods were tried for
this purpose. In very short time
Wright was up and around and as cheer
full as bird. From that time forth he
was famous in that section as the hu-
man Lightning rod. Louisville Post.

A large part of the charm of the alto.
gether charming city of Washington is
found among the blacks. The drivers,
for example, of the various dilapidated
vehicles, which are by courtesy called
carriages, are thoroughly amusing. One
who drove a large, lank animal built
on the lines of wooden horse and with
little more spirit in him sat ON the
box of four wheeler that would have
disgraced the stables of country inn.
The flourish and elegance of that coach
man, however, were as fine as if he
wore the liveries of the president and
held the ribbons over the most prancing
steeds. He kept his eyes inf1exibly fixed
upon the ears of his horse and drew up
at destination with the air of refining
in a mettlesome charger. When his car
riage was emptied, he passed on with a
flourish and sweep, headed around and
at once put his entire outfit at sharp at
tention. The ceremony of approaching
the curb, on seeing his fare reappear,
was equally imposing. His green driv-
er's coat was ragged and shabby, his
hat was slightly battered and knew no
shine, his whip was as destitute of
springs as were the seats of his brough-
am, and the rough coat of his steed
was all that saved the animal from
gaunt emaciation, yet over the whole
establishment that inimitable darby
contrived to throw an air of elegance
that was as serious as laughable.-

scribe one of their officers a young man
whose self possession in a time of dan
ger saved his men from defeat and
probably from death The circumstance
which gave this officer his reputation
is related by Rudyard Kipling in The
Westminster Magazine. He writes
A very young officer, who had gone
almost straight from school to the army

company through rocky pass on re-
turning from scouting expedition.
They were beset by the enemy, who
fired at them from behind the rocks,
and the men were growing very I'M

impatient and shouted to the men in
front; Hurry up. What are you wait
ing for there?''
The young officer answered quite
coolly: "Hold ON minute. I'm light

And he struck match and lit it,
There was a roar of laughter, and a sol
der called ont, "Well, since you're so
pressin, think I'll have a pipe my
self. " And he too, struck a match and
began to smoke. This bit of fun steadied
the men, and they came through in
good order.

OLD sMoKEsTACks.
An Article For Which There Is Always q


Demand.
Among the very great variety Of
things that may be bought at second
hand are smokestacks of iron or Of
steel. 1t may be that an establishment
puts in bigger boiler and wants big
ger stack. If it is using a steel or an
iron stack, the old one is taken down
carefully and a new one set up. The old
stack may be sold to dealer in second
hand boilers and machinery, or the
owner may keep it and sell it himself
to somebody that wants a secondhand
smokestack. If it is sold to dealer, he
may remove it to his own yard, or it
may be that the original owner keeps 1t
on his premises until the dealer has
sold it. A manufacturer may move from
one place to another and sell the old
plant, or parts of it. Here would be a
secondhand smokestaok. Secondhand
stacks are bought by various users. 1t
may be that the smokestack of an estab-
lishment is worn out and that the boiler
is not and that a secondhand stack
would last out the life of the boiler. In
such case the user would get second
hand stack if he could find one suitable.
Secondhand stacks may be used with
various temporary plants set up by con-
tractors and Others A smokestack may
be blown down in windstorm and the
user supply the place of it with one
bought secondhand.
A steel or iron stack costs about half
as much as brick stack A secondhand
iron stack costs about half as much as a
new one. Stacks of metal are made now
usually of steel. The steel used costs
now less than wrought iron. There Is
an increasing use of steel instead of
brick stacks. Steel stacks up to and
feet in diameter would be classed as
portable stacks; larger stacks would be
of more or less permanent character.
Steel smokestacks are now made up to
Is feet in diameter. Very large smoke
stacks may be lined with brick.
Secondhand smokestacks up to feet
in diameter are likely to be found in
stock in the yard of the dealer in second
hand boilers and machinery. and he is
likely to have stacks of larger sizes else
where. There is always demand for
secondhand smokestacks. York
