Small Enemies.

Henry M. Stanley, In describing his
journey through 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-
ton, were the Wambutti dwarfs.
These diminutive men had only little
bows and arrows for weapons, so small
that they looked like %children's play
things; but upon the tip of each tiny
arrow was a drop of poison which
would kill an elephant or a man as
surely and quickly as a 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 care
fully 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.
The account of these small people and
their successful warfare influences one
to remember the small enemies we all
are apt to encounter in habits, SEEM
ingly harmless, but dangerous to well
fare and happiness.

AN AMBASSADORS PRIVILEGES.
His intercourse with the Sovereign
Is Peculiar.

His Intercourse with the Sovereign
Is Peculiar.
A curious privilege of an Ambassa-
dor is that he, and he alone, when dis
missed, may turn his back to the SOW
ereign to whose court he is accredited.
The mode of procedure is as follows:
When the Ambassadors audience is
over, he waits to be dismissed by the
sovereign. When dismissed, the Am
bassador bows, ~retires three PAGES, bows
again, retires another three PAGES, bows
a third time, turns on his heels and
walks to the folding-doors.
But it Is felt that more polite meth
DDS should obtain when the reigning
sovereign Is a m To turn his
back is to be discOurteous, to walk
backwards is to resign a privilege; the
Ambassador retires sideways, like a
crab; be keeps one eye on the sovereign,
and with the other tries to see the door.
He thus shows politeness to the SOW
ereign and at the same time retains one
Of his privileges. AS the Ambassador
is usually an aged man, often short
sighted, he sometimes fails to reach the
door, and comes into collision with the
wall.
Another privilege of Ambassadors is
the right OF being ushered into the
royal presence through folding-dooss,
both of which must be flung wide open.
No one except an Ambassador can
claim this privilege; the most any non-
Ambassadorial person can Yne ia

of nature caused the sudden death Of
thousands of these ancient people and
their burial in the strata where by
chance they were exhumed by the peo-
pie of a far-distant age.
1t was out a short time @ thai the
excavations were begun which result
ed in these singular and extraordinary
discoveries. The finding of the re-
mains In the first place was quite acct
dental. II. j. Simmons, superintendent
of the Arizona and New Mexico Rail-
way, was making excavations along
the lines of the railroad near Clear
Greek, Galveston County, when bones
were found in the earth removed. On
examination of the contents of the
steam shovel, skulls and human teeth
were noticed, and further search led
to the discovery Of skeletons Of whole
families, together with ivory beads and
other objects of human handiwork.
Realizing the valuable and scientific
character of the discovery, a systemat-
&c search of the strata In the vicinity
was made. Biologists say the whole
section of the State was once covered
by the Gulf of Mexico. The idea at
once came to Mr.. Simmons that in far
distant ages a tidal wave had occurred
at the time the gulf covered more Of
that part Of the country than at pres
ent and that these bones were the re-
mains Of the thousands of human be-
ings who had been drowned in the

entiSts.

LOST RACE OF K
Prehistoric City Near Galveston En-
quilted by a Tidal Wave.


Relics Of a prehistoric race were dis
covered in Galveston, Texas, just previ-
GUS to the storm that flooded the city.
Nearly 1000 human skeletons were
found, and scientists who examined
the excavations had just given the
opinion that an ancient city had been
submerged by a tidal wave that drown
ed all the Inhabitants, when the calam-
ity of centuries ago was repeated.
The bones were discovered in a
search for relics for the archaeological
exhibit at the Pan-American EXPOSE
ton, which is to be held i'll Buffalo, n.
u, next summer. The skeletons are
beyond a doubt several thousand years
old, and the character of the people
who occupied the coast of the gulf at
this period Is an interesting subject for
speculation. Whoever they may have
been and whenever they may have liv-
ed, the remains found show beyond a
question that some terrible outbreak
