GIRAFFES IN AFRICA.
4 Few Specimens Have Been Found
I'm the Central Part of the
Dark Continent.

From time to time it has been ru-
mored that giraffes existed in British
Central Africa, on the Loangwa river,
but, although that river valley has been
frequently visited during the last ten
years by Europeans, no authentic in
formation on the point has ever been
obtained says the British Central At
rican Gazette. Recently, however, a
giraffe was shot on the east bank of the
Loangwa, in the Marimba district, by a
European prospector, and its skin Tin
completely sent in to Capt. Chichester, in
Mpezeni's country The hinder half of
the skin is being senf> to the British
museum, and it is hoped that a com
plete specimen may now be obtained.
The existence of giraffes in Marimba
is remarkable; the area in which they
are found is extremely restricted. and
their number appears TO be very few.
The one shot, however, was in a herd of
about 35. The nearest country north
of Marimba in which giraffes are known
to exist is north of Mareres, where the |
Elton-Cotterill expedition met with |
Them many years ago. 70 the south |

they cali the Legitimist Jacobite
league the members of which make Sc
ditious speeches on certain occasions,
as, for example on the anniversary of
the death of Charles l., which in almost
any country but free Britain would land
them in prison. They declare that
Queen Victoria has no good title to the
throne; that there are at least 600 per-
sons with better; and they do homage
to an obscure Bavarian princess, whom
they designate Queen Mary Ill. and
". of Scotland and England" All this
is very amusing to the average subject
of her majesty.
One of the most crazy of the Jacobite
leaguerS in Scotland, says the Chicago
Record, is Theodore Napier. Curiously
enough, he does not happen to be a high
lander, and was not even born in Scot
land, hailing from one of the Australia |
colonies, but summer and winter he /
wears full highland dress of the Mont
rose period. When he marches along
the streets of Edinburgh with his Jacob
lite nose in the air, everybody turns to
look at him, which he regards as a
great compliment. Though in private
he is the most mild-mannered and gen
tie of elderly gentlemen, when he is on
the Jacobite war path he makes speeches

was really the case until some of the
buildings on his plantation had been
burned. Then he decided that Heu-
reahN was right and he sold out to a
German syndicate and retired from the
island, to await an opportunity for re-
yenge. He thought this chance had
come when the war with Spain broke
out. Under the preteXt that he was 60
ing to organize an expedition to fight
for Cuba libre, he was allowed by the
United States government to pack lit
tie steamship, the Fanita, with some
San Domingo refugees and set sail from
Mobile. But instead of going to Cuba
he went to San Domingo. One dark
night he landed there with his cargo
of refugees expecting to find 900 in
surgents under arms awaiting him.
But his letter Of plans had miscarried.
the raid was unexpected, and no revolu-
ton had been started for him. He fired
a few shots, but was forced to beat

bassador since 1893 to the United
States, in which capacity alone he has
rendered his country excellent service
by his tact and judgment, and he has

Great Britain at the recent internation-
al conference at The Hague. The new

he was attorney general of Hong Kong,

He was made chief justice of the Lee

Brown, was born in Iorrington the 9th
day of May, 1900"
The weather-beaten building, which
is known for miles around as "the
John Broua house," is about one mile
from the First Congregational church,
which is also historical, inasmuch as
young Brown and his parents attended
service there up to the time when Owen
Brown emigrated with his family to
Hudson, 0.
The house was built in 1854, and is in
a better state Of preservation than
would be supposed. In summer, and
when the roads are in good condition,
the birthplace of John Brown is often
visited by the summer residents of
Litchfeld county. There seems a sort
of irony of fate in the fact that the
house is rented to and occupied by col
orde people, the race that Brown loved
and for which he laid down his life.
Now the place is oyerrun by dogs and
very dirty and unkempt children, and
the doors are not opened nor the m
terror of the house shown unless some
thing in the way of a Zee is forthcoming.
As the centennial anniversary of
Browns birth approaches the old farm
house acquires a new interest especial
ly to the admirers of the famous aboli-
zionist, and next spring and early sum
mer will probably draw many visitors
to the "house on the hill" To-day the
visitor is shown the room in which John
Brown was born, but all that remains
Of the original furniture owned by the
Browns is a pair of ancient andirons,
which are exhibited with no little pride
by the tenants. In fact. these seem to
go along with the house, and they are
said to have been there for the last

women do NOT Don Their Prettt08t
Frocks to Win Masculine Smiles.
There is a fallacy-confined, though,
to the masculine half of society-and
that is that women dress for men. OF
course all women know better than
that and laugh at it in their sleeves as
the most ridiculous of ideas. Most OF
them would like, though, to let men
go on thinking so. but I don't care, Sc
I'm going to tell, says woman in the
ST. Louis Globe-Democrat. 1 think any
creature who belongs to such a stupid
sex ought not to be allowed-if there
is any way of enlightening him-to go
on thinking that any woman would
throw away time and material to dress
for him. Let me tell you, please, what
1 heard once. 1t was this: A woman
of my acquaintance was clothed in a
new and most beautiful dinner suit,
which had cost hundreds of dollars
She wore it for the first time with an
air of a queen-ah, me, who couldn't
have worn it so?-and looked as if
she had just stepped down out of the
latest Partisan fashion sheet. man
looked at her-a man who had reached
an age when he ought to have had dis
erection and who was still not in his
dotage-looked at her and said:
That's your last winters suit, is it
not?" 1 don't think 1 need to tell you
more, but 1 will Another human adult
of the same sex told me once that my
gown was very beautiful. 1t was
ten-cent lawn that l myself had made.
So, of course, all women save up their
best clothes for people who can APP
preciate them, and those people are not
men.
