One tribe, the Shukuriehs, not long ago
were the possessors Of $4,000 camels,
whereas they now have only 1000, and
similar illustrations abound. The
Hadendoas suffered worse than many
of the other tribes, immense numbers of
them dying of famine in Osman Dignas
camp where they were collected by the
Baggaras and not allowed to leave. Ex-
cept on the Abyssinian frontier, near
the Gallabat and Bach country, Lord
Kitchener reports that public security
is excellent everywhere, and travelling
safe without guards. He met the
sheikhs Of the different districts who
are cheerfully doing their utmost to re-
pair the damage done during Dervish
rule, and collecting all the scattered
people as far as possible. If there are
good rains this year they hope to make
fair start and rapidly improve. In
some parts of the country which Lord
Kitchener passed through the soil was
very rich, but wells and roads were
greatly wanted to open up the district.
Work has already been begun in this
direction.

THE BULLDOG.

A real lover of dogs is apt to have a
preference is to type, but he is apt also
to be fond of all good dogs, no matter
what the class or their special purpose in
the world. The dog lover is very like in
this regard the truly gallant mamie
may prefer blue eyes and fair hair or the
opposite, but his heart goes out to all
women who are good because they are
women and because they are good. To
the unlnitiated an affection for bull
dog seems a perversion of taste, for the
bulldog is not symmetrical, is not grace
full, and sometimes appears to lack in
telligence. About his intelligence, how
ever, there is more than one opinion;
about his affection and his loyalty there
can be no doubt whatever. His affection
knows neither hesitation, wavering or
change, and he is loyal to the death
Then, again, he is a rare comrade. He
is not noisy. he is not nervous, and he is
not given to demonstration. He fills the
requirements that Emerson formulated
as to perfect companionship. He does
not need to speak to show his sympathy.
He can tell you what he wishes to say
with his little eyes, and he can be elo-
quent with the waggings of his stumpy
tail.
This kind OF a companion is not such
as commends himself to all persons, for
there are those in the world who like
chatterers and consider the unending
small talk of the drawing room the
highest and most pleasurabe expression
of human wit. For such as these, the
bulldog is not likely to have the greatest
attractions. Let such nave frolicsome
dog or a kitten that will chase its tail.
But the bulldog is good companion for
a quiet man of a thoughtful and phlo-
sophie cast of mind. The bulldog will
not disturb his musings, the bulldog will
not say the wrong thing at time when
silence is precious, for the bulldog rarely
speaks. When he does he is short,
though not sharp, in his communications
and very much to the purpose.-Criteri-
on.

1NOTH FER SIDE.

Some noble and philanthropic womer
have come to the conclusion that they
can mitigate the servant-girl problem
Their idea is to take INDECENT women
and train them in domestic service, a
home being provided them while they
are being taught This scheme will, ii
is pointed out, provide immediate relief
for the dependent and put them in the
way of being useful and self-support-
ing.
There are at least two sides to every
question, and one of the sides to the
servant-girl question isn't made promi-
nent by the noble and philanthropic
women above mentioned. 1t is, how
ever, made prominent by the Cincinnati
Times-Star, which says: The side they
are neglecting is the side in which they
can do the most and best work They
purpose dealing with the employed, ut
terly ignoring the employer They de-
sire to manufacture more servants SO
as to be able to get them and disregard
the equally important matter Of how to
keep them, once they have them. Per-
haps some day the servants of the big
cities will organize a club and educate
employers in matters concerning which
they are sadly ignorant If servant
employing women, instead of getting
up clubs and societies, attending meet
ings and running college settlements
would learn a little something about
their own homes and their management,
n surprise would be in store for them
at the nearness of the solution of the
servant question.
There is more truth than poetry in
what the Times-Star says, but the
truth isn't to be heard at ill times.

ALADY DE nnA1rn,,

AT the Hyperion last evening a young
gentleman of Yale, flown with insolence.
If not also with wine or beer, sat in a seat
near the stage and made himself an
noying to Miss Arthur, who was play
ing "A Lady of Quality" She showed
her quality by stopping the perform
ance. requesting that the offender be
carried out and waiting until he had
removed himself. Then, her action hav-
ing been warmly applauded, she went
on with her work.
The episode was an unpleasant one in
some. ways. 1t was unpleasant that
any member of New Haven audience
should act as the young man did. 1t
was especially unpleasant that the
young man was a Yale man. 1t was
unpleasant that the audience, which
was deeply interested in the play,
should be disturbed by such an incident.
But it was pleasant that Miss Arthur
had the courage and the decision to do
as she did. 1t is but fair to say that
the behavior of most of the students
who sit in the front rows at the Hy
perion is all right, and 1t is also true
that the goats who get in among the
sheep are not as numerous and goatish
as they have been in times past. But
once in awhile there is one who needs
to have his attention called to himself
both for instruction and reproof. The
lesson so thoroughly administered last
evening will have a good effect, and
another like it will probably not soon be
needed

stays on the farm. These officials, who
must have passed through the govern
ment agricultural schools advise the
farmer as to the draining, manuring,
etc, of his boys and fields. Certificated
dairy-maids are also provided to teach
him how to feed his COWS nationally and
to make butter which is one of the
chief articles of export. Education is
at high standard in fact, and schools
are plentiful and well supplied with
high-class and well-paid teachers.
Nearly all peasants can read and write
They cannot be married by a priest
without receiving the sacrament, and
must be able to read in order to be ad-
mitted to the Holy Communion. Hon
esty is one of the national Characters
ties, except among the population in
habiting the frontier districts bordering
on Russia, where bad example has had
its usual effect. The law is administer
ed with remarkable impartiality, and
bribery and corruption are almost I'M
known among government officials. The
writer says that the Firms dislike and
despise the Russians, whom they re-
gard as their interiors, but, neverthe-
less, have never wavered in their 10y

those seen on women are rarely un-
slightly, but a delicate gray cloth, all
soiled about the hem, is about as untidy
thing as can be imagined.
A very becoming form of overdress is
cut to point that hangs to the hem
of the skirt in front. From the point
trimming of braid goes straight up
the front of the overdress to about the
knees From here the sides OF the over
dress slope away, the braid trimming
dividing and following the edges, which
This long curve from the hips down to
the knees gives a fine effect of slender
ness and height. The underskirt shows
where the overdress is thus cut away,
and at the foot the overdress Is cut
into points a little shorter on the sides
than the front one, again dipping down
at the back.
An extension flounce may be added
to the best petticoat of last season with
excellent results, and the taffeta petit
coat is not going to be downed entirely.
The petticoat Is merely slashed up five
or six inches at intervals, the fiounce
being set under the slashes. The founce
has a lot Of frills at its edge, and when
adjusted the skirt has all the flare and
train that is needed and is brought right
up to date, while the new petticoat costs
three times what his renovation will
cost. The flounce need not be the same
color as the rest, nor of the same ma
terial. FLORETTT.

CUTTING ICE IN THE TROPICS.

Since young General Funston, of
Kansas and the Philippine islands, be-
came so famous there has been much
searching for the motives that have
governed his adventurous and highly
successful career, 1t is related that
when he went to Cuba two or three
years ago to aid the insurgents he told
companion: willis, l have no ambi-
ton to get rich. I wouldn't go into
politics for anything. 1 am afraid L
have no settled aim or clearly seen am
bition. But nevertheless want to cut
some ice In the world, and I intend to
Keep hustling until my time comes"
He has certainly cut much ice, and a
man that can cut ice in the tropics as he
has done Is very uncommon man.

Tho dawn is gray
And nights dark shadows fade away;
Sing low, sing sweet, the lullaby,
The little one lies still and sleeps,
While softly through the easement creeps
The light of day,
And night winds whisper ere they die
The lullaby.
Would we could tell
what happy thoughts and fancles dwell,
As baby's cradle rocks away;
Wide open are the dear ones eyes,
An unknown world before them lies;
Yet come what may,
The mother weaves her tender spell,
And all is well.
And Morning brings
The soft unfolding of the wings,
The steps of tiny feet,
The pratte none may understand
Save those who dwell in Babyland;
While lips repeat
The nursery songs of childish things ~
The mother sings
The Moons bright rays
Shine down on books and chldhood's plays
And vanished one by one,
While now Is heard the fun and noise
When school Ii done.
And yet we miss the baby ways
OF other days.

Though day Is done

There comes the moaning of the bar,
While Iife's bark glides along.
Long years have turned the tresses gray,
Yet dear ones cheer the onward way
With happy song;
And Love still reigns while shines afar

And Old Age waits with folded hand
The long, last sleep.
