The gossips in the neighborhood Of
Webster and Waller streets are in costa

neighborhood with blood in his eye and a

How to Make a Savage Your Friend.
NJ. De Rougemont, the modern Rob-
inson Crusoe, whose story of adven-
lures in the wilds of Australia and else
where is just now the talk Of London,
has been telling, among other things,
how white man may become persona
grata to savage. M. De Rougemont,
who has lived SO long among the abo-
rhymes that he learned to understand
them thoroughly, pleads against the
ignorant habit which white men have
of shooting at black men as soon as
they see them. All that it Is necessary
to do, if you wish to make a savage
your friend, is to clap the hands smart
~ on the back of ones trousers, at the
same time putting out ones tongue.
This is universal sign, in the sign
language which all the blacks under
stand, that the stranger wishes to sit
with them. to eat with them and to
hobnob with them generally. If to
these signs the stranger will only add
a few steps of lively jig, accompany
ing himself, if possible, upon whistle,
the severest savage will be instantly
placated and will abandon his hostile
attitude.-N. Y. World.
