Dwarfs and Poison.

Henry M. Stanley, in describing his
journey though the forests Of Africa,
says that the most formidable foes he
encountered, those that caused the
greatest loss Of life to his caravan and
came nearest to defeating his expedi-
tion, were the Wambutti dwarfs.
These diminutive men had only bows
and arrows for weapons, SO small that
they looked like children's playthings,
but upon the tip of each tiny arrow was
a drop of poison which would kill an
elephant or man as surely and quickly
as rifle Their defense was by means
of poison and traps.
They would steal through the dense
forest, and waiting in ambush let fly
their arrows before they could be dis
covered. They dug bitches and carefully
covered them over with sticks and
leaves. They fixed spikes in the ground
and tipped them with poison. Into these
bitches and on these spikes man and
beast would fall or step to their death.
One of the strangest things about it was
that their poison was mixed with honey

IL Looked nad.

A certain young lady against whom
appearances certainly looked dark once
had an amusing experience of unjust
Judgment. She went ont on stormy
day and was unfortunate enough to
have her umbrella turned inside out
Her two sisters were equally unluoky,
and on the following day the young
lady volunteered to take the three UNI
bellas to be repaired.
Promising to call for them before she
returned home in the afternoon, she
went about her business, part of which
was to do some shopping in large city
establishment. On rising to leave the
shop she mechanically put out her hand
to take possession of an umbrella that
was close by. 1t looked like her own,
and for the moment she had forgotten
the accident. She was soon brought to
her senses.
That is my umbrella, said sharp
voice at her side, and hand was laid
on her arm to detain her.
Apologizing for her thoughtlessness,
she left the shop, did the rest of her
business and called for her umbrellas,
In the street car she met an indignant
pair Of eyes. Where had she seen them
before? They scanned first her face and
then the burden she carried "Three of
them ~ muttcred the owner of the eyes,
and it was evident that she referred to
the umbrellas "Three She's din no
bad the day
AS she spoke she grasped her own
umbrella tightly and moved farther
away from tho dangerous young lady.
The color came into the cheeks of the
latter. The speaker was her friend of
the morning and she evidently believed
that the umbrellas had been stolen. -

Gratitude.

When Lord Charles Beresford was a
midshipman, he performed gallant act
for which he subsequently received a
medal. His vessel lay in the Mersey
and numerous visitors came on board
in order to look over the ship. AS a
boat containing man weighing $50
pounds was getting alongside it was
suddenly swamped, when Lord Charles
jumped overheard and seized the occu-
pant just as he was sinking. The gal
liant rescuer kept the man afioat until
help arrived, and both rescuer and res
cued were taken on board the man of
war.
The man whose life had been saved
maintaining a glum countenance and
showing no great enthusiasm for his
preserver, some one remarked to him,
"You don't appear very pleased at hay
ing been rescued from drowning"
''Ugh" he exclaimed in tone of
disgust, CHANGING first at his own portly
proportions and then at his rescuer
He was such little uni"

Smoking cigarette the ether night
in the north ] heard story which, so
far as I know, is new. A proud old lady
swept Indignantly up to the door OF a
railway carriage at York station. A
schoolboy was leaning half way out Of

cigarette, and. after the fashion Of the
English schoolboy, not caring for any
body. Is this smoking COMPARTMENT

Using New Files.

An expert in files has given some d.
rections as to the best ways to use these
necessary implements. He says that a
new file Of very high temper should
first be used on brass or cast iron. After
the first sharpness is gone from it it
answers quite as we'll for wrought iron
and steel. Sometimes new files will tear
the surface of wrought iron and steel to
such an extent as to become very an
noying and cause additional work. Very
few mechanics thoroughly understand
the use of files and the methods by
which they are utilized to the greatest
advantage. Files bite rolled metal much
more quickly and easily than cast, there
fore it requires sharper file for brass
and cast iron than for the wrought ar
ticles or for steel. If files are gradually
adapted to their best uses, they will
give much longer service than when
they are unfortunately employed.

PLUMBING And GAS FITTING

All who contemplate having plumb
ing or gas fitting done should consider
that little saving in first cost is not
always economy. We buy our goods
at first hands, strictly for cash. We
have expert plumbers and will guar
antee all work, at prices as low as
consistent with first-class material
and workmanship, We will be here
to protect our work as long as gas
lasts and people use water.
This is point worth considering.
Remember everything first class and
work guaranteed to be according to
the most approved sanitary regula-
tions.

THE JOINT HIGH COMMISSION CLOSING Up
ITS WORK.

Washington Feb. 3-The work Of the Anglo
American Joint High Commission to-day In
cluded session Of the subcommittee on the
Alaskan boundary and meeting Of the Amerl-
can members Of the Reciprocity Committee the
Boundary Committee is still examining material
evidence. and has had several experts both
Canadian and American. before it. with maps
photographs and field notes. 1t was Impossible
to examine any Of these to-day. and they were
left for future sessions. while the committee con-
fined itself to a general discussion Of the sub
tect.
The indications are that the work on the reel
procity clause is drawing rapidly 10 head. The
difficulties encountered in this discussion have
been great but 1t is thought that compromise
Of some sort will be embodied In the treaty.
Some Of the American members feel that 1t
may be possible TO get a vote on the treaty at
tho present session Of Congress, although the
final ratification by the English side will be de-
layed several months. 1t is understood that the
President is in close touch with the work of the
Commission. and Will be informed in a few days
when the treaty may be expected to go TO the
Senate.
