A Kaffir,,,
Fairy Story.

Here is a Kaffir story. 1t is called
"Demane and Demanza," and is a very
good example of the kind of story cur
rent among the dusky "boys'' of South
Africa.
Demane and DemanZa are husband
and wife, living together in a cave.
Demane day goes out to hunt, but
tells his wife before starting that on
no account must she cook any food
during his absence, lest the c%annibals,
attracted by the smell of the cooking,
find out the cave and carry her off and
eat her.
Demanza, directly her lord had
gone, commences to prepare a meal,
with the result that one of the canni-
balls knocks at the door of the
cave and demands admission, says the
London Mail. This is refused him.
So the cannibal goes and consults with
his tribesmen, and they burn his
throat, which changes his voice to a
very smooth tone, like that of a girl.
He returns to the cave and is this
time admitted. The cannibal at once
ties DemanZa up in a sack he has
brought with him, and takes her away
to his own h~abitation. Demane, re-
turning home with a swarm of bees he
has found, discovers his wife's alb

A Precious TruSf

You are so good! l shall now feel
perfectly safe about my little darling.
l shall Don be back!".
Then she disappeared and Merrivell
found himself staring down upon the
big, covered basket she had thrust in
his hand. Halo! What kind of a
game is this? Her darling Snowf1ow-
er! Her precious trust! Was the child
in the basket? Was the child dead?
Was he to be involved in an. ugly
mystery? His face blanched. A cold
sweat broke out on his forehead. He
could feel it trickling down his cheeks.
He glared wildly around. He sank
weakly down on the bench. never re-
laxing his grip of the heavy basket.
Should he cut for it and run? Would
not that arouse suspicion? Or-mer-
ciful heavens! Here was Iona Wray
homecoming directly towards him,
and looking sweet as a rose in her
thin summer gown and big leghorn
hat. He was wildly anxious that she
should not see him, but she did. She
paused in some establishment? Are
you ill?" she asked. 81 have never

Guided.
He staggered to his feet, still hold

his left hand and jerking off his hat
with his right.
Mono! I'm all right-at least"
Here something in the basket moved.
He glanced down in a panic. Iona's

CHINESE BOYS.
Long Hours In School and Sports Of
the Vacation,

the Vacation.
Among the representatives of the
celestial kingdom in this city are Lee
Way and his cousin. All Foon, says
the Ogdensburg Journal. They are
bright and intelligent, and are inter
esting characters. Of their earlier life
In China they give very lucid accounts.
Lee Way has been in the United
States about twenty years, first locat-
ing in New York city. In his native
country he has a wife and son, and
he has made frequent visits to them
since he first came to America. Lee
received instruction in English before
ne crossed the Pacific, and he also at
tended school in New York. Both he
and his cousin receive weekly i~nstruc-
lions at the hands of teachers of the
Baptist Sunday school, and Lee espe-
cially has become proficient in his use
of the English language. All Foon has
been in America only a few years, and
has resided in Ogdensburg about a
year. He is married, and his wife was
left behind in his native land. Before
coming to America All Foon was in
school until he was is. with English
tutors, but his knowledge of the Ian
guage is meager. Until a few years
ago there we're no woman teachers in
all China. Now there are many, and
students are received until past the
age of So. There are many native
teachers. as we'll as the missionaries,
who come from foreign lands. The
scholars sit on high stools at desks
and study aloud. At 10 and IL years
years the Chinese scholars can read
and write very we'll. Every lesson is
learned by rote. The teacher always
retains possession of a furnishing stick,
and occasionally lazy or tardy scholars
receive a few sound raps with it. The
scholars are at school early in the
morning. and it is not uncommon for
boys to study ten hours a day. That
would seem a long time for American
boys to devote to study in a single
day, but, according to All Foon, the
Juvenile Chinaman never grumbles at
the long hours, and he and his COM
panions climb upon their stools and
sing out their lessons all at the same
time as loudly as they can. Vacation
is always during the rice harvesting
season. Then the boys fly kites and
enjoy many other pastimes which are
similar to those seen in America, such
as walking on stills, playing hide and
seek, blind mans bluff and leap frog.
1--WE have great fun fighting beetles,
too,' said All Foon. "In China there
are no bad boys like here. All boys
are respectful to all older than them
selves. They do not think it fun to
hurt other peoples feelings. One thing
I have seen here is a very old trick in
China. You see boys place a package
on the sidewalk and when some one
stoops to pick it up it is gone, for
there is a string tied to it, and a little
boy at the other end of the string"

To make a safe and sure dye for the
hair from the husks of walnuts, pro-
coed as follows: Break the husks into
an earthen jar, and add enough water
to barely cover them. Cover the jar,
and let it stand in a rather hot oven,
but do not allow it to boil. Repeat
the stewing for three days, then strain
off the liquid and add a little alcohol.
If a deep brown shade is required, use
a third of the alcohol; if a reddish tint
is needed, use equal parts of the liquid
and the alcohol.-F. N. T.

NOTED TRAVELLERS.
Two Sisters Who Have Made Many Trips
to the Holy Land.

to the Holy Land.
Living at Cambridge, England, are
two of the most noted women travel
ers and students of the century. Mrs.
Agnes Smith Lewis and her sister, Mrs.
Margaret Gibson, are twin daughters
of the late John Smith, lawyer, and
Biblical scholar, and from him they in
herit their love of research. Mrs.
Lewis and her sister have made many
trips to the Holy Land and have added
much in the way of priceless a
scripts discovered and copied by them,
in the history of the early church.
Mrs. Lewis writings and original re-
searches in ancient Syrian manuscripts
have won a world wide reputation for
her. Her latest discovery is the Sy-
riac Palimpsest, which gives to Biblical
literature the Syriac gospels of a date
not later than the fifth century. SchoI-.
ars concede this to be the most ancient
copy of the s%criptural writings extant.
A famous old German university has
seen fit to honor Mrs. Lewis with the
degree of doctor of philosophy, honora
causa, and this is something to- cause
remark, for conservative old Halle has
only honored one other woman in it's
whole history. In comforting the de-
gree it is said, it is in token "of the
high esteem in which the authorities
held her learning and splendid scien-
tific attachments" The faculty gives
the following four specific reasons for
honoring Mrs. Lewis: F~irst-Finding
the Syriac Palimpsest; second, COM
pleting the translation; third, discov-
cry of the Palestinian Syriac Lection
airy; fourth, editing the dictionary
with the assistance of her sister.

native.

protested Merrivell in an agonized
wall. "A lady gave it to me to hold
until her return. l."
Lowering looks met his. A threat
ening growl arose.
that's all right, sir!!" grunted out
a man apparently, %panoplied with au-
thority. We'll attend to you. Officer,
keep your eye IN this fellow! I am
going to open this basket"
He whipped out a knife-bent down.
The curious crowd pressed closer. Not
one of that breathless mob moved as
the knife snipped-snipped along the
taut lines. Suddenly the lid was
jerked upward. There was a cry from
the basket-not the cry of a child. 1t
was a yelp. A woody white poodle
poked out his head and looked in
quisitively around.
The howl that went up from the OBJ
servers caused the hurrying suburban
ties on the iron staircase to stand
aghast. The big policeman burst into
a below. He took his hand from
MerrivelIs arm. Iona laughed through
her frightened tears. And, just when
the hubbub was at it's height, a fran
tic woman burst through the throng.
She plowed her way to the bench, to
the basket, her black eyes flashing
fire.
"You are a fine gentleman to trust!"
she screamed. She had turned on
M%errivell in a fury. Letting those
horrid railroad men see my Sun1ow-

away at a wonderful rate. 20, my

catching the drowsy canine to her
bosom, ''it's astonishing that he didn't
try to steal you'll"
I'll didn't know it was a dog!"
protested Merrivell weakly. She flung
fiercely around. What did you think
it was?" she demanded.
"Oak Park train-a-all a-b-oard!"
bawled the starter.
Merrivell and Miss Wray sat to-
gether all the way out. They laughed
immoderately. He was assured he
might call. He did-in fact, he is still
calling. To be explicit, there is a
rumor that-but this may be gossip.
Anyhow, the girls in the mail order
department smile when Iona's work
takes her to the cloth goods aisle. And

for taking down navajo blue when she

Irregularities, depression, and the
hundred and one ailments
which affect women only, has
found in Pe-ru-na a bright star
of hope, which has changed
her misery to joy, her suffer
ing to health.
No woman need suffer from
the arrangements peculiar to
her sex, if she will give Peru
ma a fair trial.
The majority of weaknesses
which make woman's life a
burden, spring from a simple
cause. The mucous membrane
which lines the pelvic organs
becomes weakened and in
famed owing to strain, cold,
overwork, etc. This causes
catarrhal congestion, infam-
nation, painful irregularities,
depression of spirits, irritable
ity, weakness and suffering. It
shows in the haggard lines of
the face, the dull eyes, the sal1ow
complexion and angular form.
For the prompt cure of such all
7nents try Pe-ru-na. 1t drives away
'the blues" clears the complexion,
brightens the eyes, changes thin
ness to plumpness, and cures pains,
aches and drains, because 1t imme-
diately strikes at the root of such
troubles and removes the cause.
