SONG OF THE LOCOMOTIVE.

Blackness out of the blackness.
Fronted with dazzling light,
with a demonish groan and a vomit of
flame
1t teareth through the night.
Splitting the vale with mighty shrek,
Flying o'er glipts of steel,
With whlrl by the edge of precipice
Or lunge whore the marshes reek,
Aud the ooze is under the wheel.
High in the air like a wounded bird,
Spanning the trestle's thread,
Ere it plunged through the mountain OF
rock with roar
To glide by the river bed
Ever and on like haunted thing,
Trembling and crazed with fear,
With fire at its heart that is eating deer
And the speed of a dragons wing,
AS 1t crosses the plain and mere.
Black out OF the blackness,
Monster Of steam and steel,
Yet thing that is living and human as
man,
soul In the shaft and wheel.
Servant Of man that abides his will,
Child of his Drawn and brain,
1t has made Of the earth but a little place
1t has levelled the granite hill,
Till the ends of the earth are plain.

DR.. W. NJ. F. Petrie's recent dis
coveries in Egypt prove conclusively
that Egypt was inhabited bymen pre-
vious to 1000 B. c., the date which
has hitherto been the starting point
of known history.
Excavations between Nagade and
Ballos show that some foreign race
must have driven out the early inhab-
itants of the country, for in the thou
sand of graves that have been opened
by DR.. Petrie not a single object of
the usual Egyptian type has been
found.
DR.. Petrie thinks that this pre-his-
toric race in Egypt fourished about
5000 B. c., or possibly even earlier.
The people were probably of Libyan
stock, with some negro mixture, judg-
ing from various objects discovered in
the course of excavation at Nagade.
These relics consisted chiefly of statu-
cites, games, slate palettes for grind
ing paint, beautifully ribbed flint
knives of extreme delicacy, forked
.lances, arrows, carved spoons, har-
poons, earrings an1 combs. London

WISE WORDS.

Good nature is the very air of a
good mind, the sign of large and
generous soul and the peculiar soil in
which virtue prospers.
You cannot give an instance of any
man who is permitted to lay out his
own time, contriving not to have
tedious hours.
Whatever we are that is good We
owe in great measure to the opinion of
those with whom we associate.
In the treatment of nervous diseases
heis the best physician who is the
most ingenious inspirer of hope.
Generosity often follows the posses
sion of riches, but riches are slow in
coming to the generous.
Loving kindness is greater than
laws; and the charities of life are more
than all ceremonies.
Negligence is the rust of the soul
that corrodes through all her best re-
| solves.
Why are we always most blue when
we so ardently desire to be most happy?
We will always find good when we
look for it with a good heart.
The man who controls himself may
hope to reform other men.
Let no one falter who thinks he is
right.

SLAVERY IN ZANZIBAR. Z
Under the British Flag, But Over 2OO,-
900 in Bondage There.

Zanzibar is British protectorate
under the nominal sovereignty of an
Arab Sultan whom the British Govern
rAe~t plaoud thu thI vne, auu Une
administration of the island is almost
entirely in the hands of British Off
cials. In the vast population it is
estimated that some $50, 200 persons
are still in state of bondage, although
when Zanzibar came under British
control one of the earliest judicial
acts was to abolish therein the legal
status of slavery. Recently in Lon
don the subject was taken up and has
of late called forth some pulpit
orations. The British and Foreign
Anti-Slavery Society and the Anti
Slavery Committee of the Society of
Friends appealed to the Under Secre-
tary of State for Foreign Affairs to
end the deplorable state of affairs.
The officials of the Government reply
that if they forced the slaves to be
free untold destitution and starvation
would result and the industries of the
island would be ruined. There is said
to be no analogy between the institu-
ton of slavery in Zanzibar and that
which has ever existed in any other
part of the world. The Zanzibar slave
has house of his own and plot of
land. He and his family are clothed
his children are educated and cared
for, and the master and slave both
holding the same religious belief, the
al va 10 irrI, 70
are both recognized and respected.
These personal rights Of the slave in
clude the fixed tenure of his bondage; /;
in other words, he cannot be sold to
another master and transported else
where at the cost of separation from
his wife and family and the breaking
up of his home. The Government
officials argue that should the Zanzibar
slave be emancipated at once and at a
single blow he would be deprived of
every material advantage which is
now his. The majority of th0 fIo0d
blacks near the coast are said to have
voluntarily returned to bondage. The
Government sums up it's reply to the
nti-slavery societies aboutas follows:
"Before we confer uyon the slaves of
Zanzibar the sentimental boon of
liberty we must take steps to provide
them with the means of utilizing that
liberty as wage earners; and SO far
nothing has been done in this direc-
ton. To set them free without this
condition would simply mean the
wholesale pauperization of the whole
population of Zanzibar.

Sousa's stirring "Stars and Stripes
Forever" march
AS yet the men in the ranks had
seen nothing except the low, red-tiled
roofs and the crowds of swarthy ma.
tives. On and on they marched until
the first company came almost abreast
of the little building with its grimy
ensign. Then, with a uuanimity that
was almost perfect, the hundred men
broke into a cheer, thrice repeated,
while every hat was doffed. AS each
company passed the flag these cheers
were repeated and the salute!given,
much to the amazemento of the natives,
who had had never heard an Ameri-
can soldiers cheer before.
The lesson in patriotism was quick
-, leqrgedi h9yeTer 6l for the =, next
little Hotel Frances, noticed that
every time native passed that starry
flag he doffed his hat. Perhaps he
didn't know why he did it, but he
knew it was an American custom, and
that was sufficient.

MEXlcO'S SIGN LANGUAGE.
Gestures With a Meaning Understood by
Every Tribe From Guatemala to Texas.

Mexico is land of many tongues;
but above the Indian dialects and
Spanish there is one universal Ian
guage-the language of signs. It is
the most expressive of all; the Mexi-
can eye and hand are eloquent men,
bers. 1t is capable of infinite varia.
ton; its shadings and suggestions are
beyond all translation. But there are
certain gestures that have fixed
meaning, Specification well under
stood by every nation and every tribe
from Guatemala to Texas.
A general upward movement of the
body, shoulders shrugged, eyebrows
raised, lips pouted and palms out
spread, varies in meaning from II
don't know and | don't care," to a
most respectful, "Really, sir, I do
not understand you"
The index finger moved rapidly
from right to left, generally before the
face, means 'No more" or simply
"No." To move the right hand palm
outward from the body toward another
person means "Just wait, I'll be even
with you yet"
The index finger on the temple,
moved with boring twist, means
"He's drunk"
The right hand held TO the lips,
three fingers doubled, thumb and
little finger erect, varies from "He
drinks to "Have one with me-"
To nloro tho open hand over the
cheek in imitation of o razor, has
reference to the idiom playing the
barber" and means ''to fatter"
All four fingers and The thumb held

The right hand held before .he
face, the two middla fingers my7ing
rapidly, is a familiar salutation

NO. f.
what Bloom Is Fer.

The white powdery coating seen or
.ome fruits and the leaves of many
plants is known to botanists as bloom
tt is of a waxy nature, and, according
To experiments recently made at Ober.
lin College, its chief purpose is to
prevent water from passing too read
lly out Of the leaves. When the bloom
was removed the Transportation Of

in some cases being in a given time
two and a half times as much as be-
fore the removal.

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR.

A rolling heart gathers but dross.
A bride tries to look as if she knows
more than she does; a bridegroom
less.
Not even truthful looking-glass
can convince vanity that it is not
beautiful.
At twenty q wife is sorry for her
husband; at twenty-five for herself; at
thirty for both.
The man who is disappointed in
himself is generally a lot too well
satisfied with other folks.
The bravest man is the husband
who doesn't envy the man who might
have married the woman he married.
No woman really appreciates new
dress unless she is sure some particu
lar woman she knows can't afford to
get one like it.
If there were no weakness there
would be no delusions; if there were
no delusions there would be no i'm
posters.
When a woman enters wedlock she
| wonders how high it will elevate her
afterward she begins calculations on
how far it will drag her down.
When a wife is more pleased with 6
bunch of violets given with loving
word than she is with sealskin
sacque, it is generally in book.
To be fascinating to young man
woman must never admit that he il
not in love; to be fascinating to an olC
man she must never admit that she is

Medicinal Soap.

The use of soaps containing a disin'
fectant of some kind has become Sc
general, says the Medical Press, thai
observations on tho. nra ntiH" "a llia
,cs.. umDlnaJlOns cannot fail to be OF
interest. DR.. Reithoffer has recently
published the results Of some expert
nents carried out by him with various
kinds Of soap, having for object TO de
!ermine their value as microbicides
He used the ordinary mottled soap
white almond soap perfumed with no
.robenzine, and hard potash soap. He
.ound that these soaps were very in
mical to the cholera mivrobe, al pei
ant solution killing them in a shori
lpace of time, while a 5 per cent solu'
ion of the potash soap killed them in
i've minutes We are, therefore, al
liberty to infer that, as in washing tht
lands the strength of the soap solution
never less than 5, and may go as
nigh as As, per cent this method ol
iisinfecting the hands, as well as tht
clothes, etc, is fully trustworthy Mos
stronger solutions are required, how
aver, to destroy the bacili of typhoid
he coli-bacillus, ETC., not less than II
Der cent being sufficient. None of th'
,oaps experimented with appear II
have any effect on pyogenic microbe
rhe practical result of these inyestiga
lions is that it is always preferable
% use soap and water first of all, rims
.ng the hands in the disinfectant solu'
lion afterward, This is an importan'
point, which merits to be generally
made known.

A Horrible Mistake.

The husband of an acquaintance of
mine had rather an odd experience the
other day in one of our large combina-
tion stores.
He had stopped at the hat counter
to purchase a little railroad cap, and
as he stood bareheaded awaiting the
right size an elderly lady approached
him and asked:
"Where is the silk Department."
To which he replied:
'I don't know, madam.
"Then why don't you know?" asked
the elderly person sharply. IT'S your
business to know. What are you here
for, anyhow"
81 to~', the liberty of coming here
to buy a Is, was his meek reioinder.
Then there was confusion and apollo
gies galore.

said later, land she wasn't far out OF

no sooner nad tney moved IN tnan
fancy linen made its appearance.
The very next step in the triumph
ant march of civilization was Lee Toy.
Lee Toy came originally from China.
For living he washed shirts and
other things.
There was not a sign of cloud on
the horizon of reform when Lee Toy
camet to town. We hadn't had shoot
ing or robbery OF even domestic
quarrel in months. So Lee, who was
for peace, first, last and always, well
coined himself effusively when he
moved in and settled down to enjoy
life.
Lee built himself a wonderful little
hut on the very outskirts of the town.
1t consisted of one room, divided by a
red cloth curtain. In front Loe had
his Office and did his washing. Be-
hind the curtain he kept his bed of
pinon branches and the comforts of
his life, his pipes and his cooking
utensils.
Lee hung up his shingle and went
to work. He washed we'll and would
stand any amount of credit, and so he
had good business and thrived.
He was a little bit of runt of
man, bent in the shoulders; decrepit
and weak, with a skin like SO much
parchment and no more fight in him
than in q dead broncho. So that all
the men had to do when they wanted
to have some fun without paying for
it was to go up to Lees shanty. Then
while they pulled his queue and kicked
and cufed him Lee simply smiled
and looked happy and turned
the other cheek. The same aforesaid
merry makers never bore any grudge
against Lee for his accomplishing
good nature and had no false pride
about them when they wanted clean
shirt on credit. Lee gave them their
fun and their shirts and never COM
planned.
Except to one.
In the town lived Joe Johnson's
widow. Joe lost his life up in the
Superstition Mountains, and his
widow took up his claim where he left
it of. She had one child, Little
Bess. There wasn't much about Bess
except lot of skirts and fluffy hair
and freckles. She wasn't pretty
child, but she was all that Joe john
sons widow had and all that Lee Toy,
the laundryman, had in this world to
love.
And to her Lee complained. When
her mother was away in the even
ings Lee used to watch the little
girl for her and then he used to
pour out his heart full of sorrows.
Bess didn't understand much of what
he said, for Lee didn't want her to
think he was too unhappy, and so he
always jabbered the worst OF his sor-
rows in Chinese. Bess couldn't un-
derstand the words, but Bess had a
little heart in her breast, and that
heart used to get tight and hurt when
Lee jabbered in Chinese, until she
couldn't help letting out a tear or two
Then she would pat Lees ugly face
with her little hands and tell him sh'
wouldn't love the men who made hin
unhappy.
