Slavery in
Zanzibar.

And yet the anti-slavery societies
cry wildly that slavery must be Grad
icated in Zanzibar, and the civilized
world. between wars, re-echoes the cry,
so the British consul and his officers
work industriously to that end. 1t is
not an easy task, either, with the num-
Der OF cruisers supplied. The territory
TO be watched is so wide that the con
sui could make use of a small fleet.

is most difficult to suppress. Just now
Tin December), when the monsoon
sweeps the Indian ocean, it is active.
The lean dhows from Muscat steal
along the coast, and, concealed in many

agents inland to bring them a cargo.
Then, Selling a moment when the war
ship is engaged elsewhere, they slip
out and dart eastward. The favorite
girls are those captured from the Ma
sal and the Boran Gallas, whose
charms appeal to Arabian Moslems

women do to the Turks. The Borans
are particularly renowned for their
beauty, and a slave thief will risk his
life to obtain one. This tribe, which
occupies the northernmost district of
the prOtectorate. is altogether swathed
in romance. White men have never
reached its capital, where the stockade
of the royal palace is said to be Of pure
ivory. The BOran warriors are the
only ones in Africa who fight on horse
back. and such is their valor that they
have time and again repulsed the fierce
Somalis from the border. Tie Nasal
girls are considered the equals of their
Boran sisters in attractiveness. but not
in refinement; the latter. rumor has II,
practice the rites Of Abyssinian Chris
tlanity and the lost arts OF centuries
past. The Nasal girls are easier to
capture, and are, therefore. more COM
mon. The tribe was formerly cele-
brated for its vast flocks ard herds
but a devastating famine some years
ago left it almost destitute. The war
riors thereupon began a system of
raiding on all sides, and another fierce
tribe, the Wakikuyu, took advantage
of their absence to descend on the Ma
sal, kill off the old men and steal the
women and girls. These are now being
disposed Of at comparatively low rates
to local Arab or Swahili middlemen,
who retail them at big profit-Allen

Scandalously in
the South.

Of debauch for month or six weeks
without its having some effect on him.
Robin soon. loses his self-respect,
grows ragged, neglects his bath, and
appears generally disreputable. He is
a very ssd-looking bird, and northern
visitors who don't know about China
berries can't understand what has
he must-that is, when the China Der
ries are all gone, but until then he ap-
parently never thinks Of 1t. With the
disappearance of the China berries the
birds begin to think Of their northern
homes, their family duties, and a more
berries and, angle worms. In February
they gather in countless thousands in
the cane brakes OF Tennessee and Ala
bama. apparently waiting only for
warmer weather before beginning their
migration. At this season the visitor
from the north, who would about as
soon think of eating the pet canary,
finds robin pie a common dish on
southern tables On inquiring he
learns that the robins are slaughtered
by the thousands. Men with torches
and clubs visit the roosts by night and
knock the dazed birds off their perches
in great numbers. They are brought
to market in grain sacks. The writer
heard of one man bringing into mar
ket at one time $50 dozen, single
nights murderous work. The robins
are sold on the streets for from 20
cents to 80 cents a dozen. There is nc
law against the wholesale slaughter,
but many people in the south are in
teresting themselves in securing such
legislation as will put stop to it. One
reason for the Indifference with which
our favorite is regarded is that he is
only a winter visitor and doesn't COM
pete as a song bird with the cardinal
and the hooking bird, both OF which
are common and great favorites. Much
OF this pot hunting is done by negroes
for sport. The robins are also shot,
but the slaughter in this way Is small
compared with the wholesale destruc-
ton of the torch and the club-De-

Many of his northern friends will be
shocked to learn that Robin Red
breast leads a double life. Well
dressed, jaunty, trimming over with
good nature, devoted to his wife and
babies. he is model Of responsibility.
It's true we do not like to share with
him our very earliest peas and choicest
cherries, but he Is so great a favorite
and his thiev:ng is carried on with
such calm assurance that we readily
forgive. He has no enemies but the
family cat. All this here at home.
When Robin goes south for his win
ter vacation he is tempted and falls.
1t happens in this way: In December
and January the robins find on the
gulf coast q climate that suits them.
They also find an ornamental tree
bearing q hard, yellow berry about as
large as a small pea-China berries
OF which they are extremely fond.
Now. the China berry, while innocent
in appearance, is a very dangerous
food for robins. 1t contains some mar
cotic principle that affects a robin just
as alcohol affects a man. 1t makes
Robin drunk. and when he is drunk he
acts precisely like a drunken man.
EXhilarated at first. he dances about
and sings in go-home- till
morning" sort Of way. This happy
condition is soon followed by drunk
en- stupor-the bright eyes grow dull.
the head droops, and the bird loses
all sense Of danger. While in this
stupid state the negro boys easily pick
the birds from the low branches.
where they are perched. After a lit
tie the birds recover. but only to hunt
more China berries. AS long as there
are China berries Robin is consistently
and persistently drunk. He apparent
ly eats the berries for the single pur-
pose OF getting drunk and because he
likes it. He isn't hungry, for he is
gorged with the berries to such an ex-
tent that when, as sometimes happens.
he misses his drunken hold and falls
to the ground he bursts open SO stuff
fed is he. Now it must not be thought
that even robin can undergo this sort

PETTY ECONOMIES.
Many of Them Are Highly Amusing to
the Ordinary Observer.

Many Of Them Are Highly Amusing to
the Ordinary Observer.
A great majority of women have the
instinct Of economy very highly de-
veloped, although not always in the
right direction. Some of the economics
Of well-to-do women are very funny.
Take Irvine, for instance. In the mind
of many opulent housewives it is a
sign Of wicked waste to cut the string
of Q parcel. and they will carefully
and laboriously unite every knot OF
at the cost Of much time and patience.
they will do it up in neat little rolls,
which are carefully put away. as il
they were valuable possessions. Every
time that string is needed in the house
hold they produce one OF these preci
Gus rolls from their hoard, with glow
OF satisfaction over their thrift. Now,
a large ball OF Irvine costs about 6
cents, and contains enough for a year,
at least, and yet not one housekeeper
In a hundred, 1t is safe to say, will
ever buy ball of Irvine. Rubber
bands, too, are felt to be invaluable
and are put by religiously, for the idea
OF buying a comfortable box of as
sorted bands ready for use would never
be thought of, although the cost would
be infinitesimal. Yet these very wom-
en- will squander hundreds of dollars
in useless fineries and overlook wastes
In their kitchens that would, II
