Vanity In s.alaIIiand.

If you wish to mako Somali woman absolutely happy, you give her look ing glass. She will never before have seen one, but feminine instinct will teach her how to use it. Mrs Alan Gardner. on one of her big game shoot ing expeditions in Somaliland, gave a native woman looking glass for a Christmas present. She was so delight ed with the first clear sight of her dusky countcnanco that she zs through two tutiI. days and nights outside Mrs. Gardncr's tent gazing with rapture at her own reflection.
 On the morning of tho third day the fame of the looking glass had spread through the country, and row of 40 Somal women. collected from far and near, was engaged in taking an admir- ing turn at the magic mirror. When Mrs. Gardner came on the scene, she was greeted by 40 feminine Somali voices joined in chorus and each beg ging for a looking glass "all to her. self" But. alas. for the Limitations of a sporting outfit, the dusky bellies were obliged to content themselves with the one communal mirror. And the woman with the looking glass remained for many weeks the most important person in Somaliland. Illustrated NewR

A robaccoIe-s Tobacco Heart.

"You have" said a physician, "the tobacco heart" The patient made an- swer, Doctor, 1 never smoked but once. and that was when was boy" This happened in Germantown. Both men laughed, and the physician pre- pared to examine the patient again, so as to make another diagnosis.
 After a half hour of hard work the tobacco heart still seemed to resemble the mans disease, and the physician said, What do you do for a livingT The man replied. q am tobacconist."
 "well, then. of course, you've got the tobacco heart. whether you're a smok- CT or not" said the physician. "All day long you breathe in tobacco. The dust of lt fills your lungs, clrculates with your blood all over your body and Is dlgested with your food. have had | number of cases such as yours, and l prescribe eight hours day in the fresh air. You'll find 1t hard to follow this prescription. Away from the to- bacco laden air of your shop you will have the uneasy. restless longing to get back to 1t which the smoker, after few hours of abstinence, has for a cigar. That is strange, but you'll find It true. You have unconsciously ac- qulred the tobacco breathing habit and it's a habit harder. believe, to break than the smoking habit itself."- Philadelphia Record.

In blissful ignorance of this little fact the knight of the ra- For opened fire.

 "where's that assistant of yours. the one with the red hairf"

 "Pity" growled the portly gentle man. "I liked that young fellow. There was something about his conversation l thoroughly enjoyed. He was one of the most sensible takers ever met. and"-

evident from what the Southern Demo
Gratis have declared, only few colored
Southern republicans will be permit
ted TO remain or appointed. The
policy Of the democrats is that South

hold places of honor and trust, but
will not object to their holding subord

not be distinguished from a white

Hon. b. Devaux, the colored repub

this party will be able TO carry the
Southern states, but when the time for
