SLAVERY IN ZANZIBAR.
Girls Stolen Despite the Vigilance
of British Cruisers.

From Ainsee's Magazine.
And yet the anti-slavcry societies cry
wildly that slavery must be eradicated
at Zanzibar, and the civilized world,
between wars, re-echoes the cry, so the
British consul and his officers work In
dustriously to that end. II Is not an
easy task, either, with the number OF
cruisers supplied. The territory to be
watched is SO wide that the consul
could make use of a small fleet, In
stead of which he usually has one ship.
When | was there last summer the
Barossa had the station, but two days
after she sailed north to MomhasSa II
courier rushed into the consulate to
report that two dhows with twenty
girls had slipped away 20 Arabs und sr

was no ship to make pursuit.

most difficult to suppress. Just now

monsoon sweeps the Indian ocean, it is
active. The lean dhows from Muscat

the warship Is engaged elsewhere they
slip out and dart eastward. The faN-
orite girls are those captured from the
Nasal and the Boran GaliaS. whose
charms appeal to Arabian MoslemS
somewhat as those Of the CtrCasSidn
women do to the Turks. The Borans
are particularly renownei for their
beauty, and Il slave thief will risk his
life to obtain one. This tribe, which
occupies the northernmOst district or
the protectorate, is altogether sWathed
in romance. White men have never
reached its capital, where he stockaie
of the royal palace is said to be OF pure
ivory. The Boran warriors are the only
ones in Africa who fight on horseback,
and such is their valor that they have
time and again repulsed the fierce So
malls from the border.
The Nasal girls are considered the
equals of their Boran sisters in attrac-
tiveness, but not in refinement; the
latter, rumor has it, practice the rites
of Abyssinian Christianity and the lost
arts of centuries past. The Nasal girls
are easier to capture, and are, there
fore, more common. The tribe was for
merly celebrated for it's vast tiocks and
herds. but a devastating famine some
years ago left 1t almost destitute. The
warriors thereupon began system OF

IN THE AIR.
The Germs Of La Grippe Are Con.
veyed Through the Atmosphere.

NO one can escape the La Grippe
germ, because when an epidemic OF
the disease Is prevailing the air is
laden with It.
The reason everyone does not have
the disease at the same time is be-
cause the persons who are enjoying
perfect health are able to successfully
resist and throw off the infection.
while those. who for any reason are
not In the best of health, fall ready
victims.
The first symptoms are those OF
acute catarrh, resembling a hard cold,
and if prompt treatment is applied at
thls time 1t can easily be broken up;
one of the best remedies at this stage
is ftuarts Catarrh Tablets. sold by
druggists everywhere and If taken
freely, say one tablet every hour or
two for two or three days. the danger
of pneumonia and serious complica-
tlons will be averted.
The Rev L. Il. Palmer, Baptist
clergyman of Ceresco, Mich, makes u
statement OF interest TO all catarrh
and grip sufferers. He says: "Stuarts
Catarrh Tablets have certainly been u
blessing to me. | have used them
freely this fall and winter. and have
found them n safeguard against La
Grippe and catarrhal troubles, from
which | had suffered for years. ] feel
that ] can freely and conscientiously
recommend them"
Persons who suffer from catarrh OF
the head and throat are very suscept-
ible to La Grippe, and such will find
a pleasant, convenient and safe rem
edy in this new catarrh cure.
Stuarts Catarrh Tablets are COM
posed entirely of harmless antiseptics
ana may be used as freely as neces-
sary, as they contain no cocaine, OPT
ate or poisonous drug or any kind.

ABOUT HUMAN HAIR.
Some Interesting Facts That Are

off 1t bleeds, and the natural vitality

] think people have often been shown
the hollowncss of hairs when they have
looked at them through a microscope.
If you can overcome your conviction
that all this world affords is hollow
and unsubstantial and are able to un-
derstand that most people looking
through a microscope can see exactly
what they are told they will see, you
will be pleased to hear that the human
hair is a solid bundle of epthelial cells,
the inner ones being rather more loose

air bubbles in their outer layers.
GRAY hairs have air bubbles in their
