REAL BROWNIES IN America
Sullivan Finds Tribe
Pigmies on Orinoco River.

Eben J. Sullivan, a South America
explorer, claims to have discovered 7
race of living brownies near the hpsi
waters of the Orinoco River in tbI
wilds of Surinam. In describing hi
find, Mr.. Sullivan says:
'The queer child people are aborA

head to foot is a brilliant reddish

stomachs are big, out of all proportion
to the body, and distended back as wei

those of Palmer Cox's brownies.

In all times of political or diplomatic
unrest the old injunction, Don't pro-
phesy unless you know" is good one
to keep in mind. 1t is eighty years
since Napoleon Bonaparte declared that
within fifty years all Europe might be-
come either Republican or Cossack.
Men now living remember when Theirs
said, Railroads will never be Of SER

It was this continual persecution of
the Quakers, in the west of England
particularly, that at length moved the
council to emphatically interfere on
their behalf. In November, 1857, a
remonstrance, signed by five Friends,
was presented to the council, specially
complaining Of the prosecutions at Ex-

Artificial Beauty Laws.

During the reign of Charles II. in En-
gland, laws with regard to artificial
aids to beauty were very strict. It is
interesting to note this curious act Of
Parliament which was passed in the
year 1870: "That all women, Of what
ever age, rank, profession or degree,
whether virgins, maids or widows, that
shall, after the passing Of this act,
impose upon and betray into 1natri-
mony any Of his Majesty's male sub
jects, by scents, paints, cosmetics,
washes, artificial teeth, false hair, Span
ish wool, iron stays, hoops, high-heeled
shoes or bolstered hips, shall incur the
penalty Of the laws now in force
against witchcraft, sorcery and such
like misdemeanors, and that the mar
rage, upon conviction, shall stand null
and void"
