Curious Beothuk Indian Legend About

when God made the world he swept the
universe of the refuse and cast it into

Newfoundland might easily be taken

Penguin, perhaps the most curious of
all his tribe. Says NJ. Racovitza:

back is OF somber color with blue spots
and on his vast breast extends white
apron with golden luster. He bears
proudly an orange. colored mark on
either side OF his head, and two small
black epaulets are fastened to his
shoulders. Solidly planted on the tri-
pod formed of his large palmate feet

Progress
IN Africa

Rev. j. N. Cowley, missionary to
the Congo Free State, Africa, talking
on the condition existing in the dark
continent, recited some interesting
facts showing the uncivilized state of
the natives, and exhibited articles
made and used by them in war and in
peace. He showed the scant clothing
worn by the high officers of the tribes,
made from grass. woven by the wom
en-. The implements of warfare, the
principal weapons used, were made of
iron. one OF them having a handle of
ivory. This, Mr.. Cowley said. required
the greatest amount of skill. The iron
ore is taken from the hills, melted in
a pit in the ground, from which small
trench leads out through which the
metal runs when melted. Then it is
beaten into the shape desired with
stones. These articles gave evidence
OF intelligence, the speaker thought.

Mouse as Fashionable Pet.

The mouse is rapidly becoming a
fashionable pet. Society people are
taking it up, and dealers in animals
and birds now keep on hand a large
supply of mice. comprising many va
rieties, and some of them well trained.
This little rodent has the merit of
being clearly, cheaply fed, no trouble
and intensely amusing, because of his
queer antics and the entertaining
tricks he can be taught. The natural
feminine aversion to the mouse is said
to be easily overcome on close ac-
quaintance.
TIE singing mouse and the Waiting
mouse are already offered for sale.
The "spiny" mouse is new variety
which is becoming popular. 1t has a
rich fawn color, with markings of
white on the chest and behind the
ears to the neck. The tail is CORFU
gated like a screw.
Mouse clubs are being organized and
the indications are that fancy mice
will take front rank among daily
household pets.

Grapes are recommended for the dys-

said to be a cure for equity and rheu-

VIII Not Insure Cubans.

Cuban who applied for insurance
from a local company the other day
almost wept when told by the examin-
ing physician that he could not insure
him, but that he should call again in
about two years. The agents had as
sured the Cuban that he would be a
first-class risk. In despair he went to
New York and confided his woes to an
old friend who is the head of the
firm for which he is the Philadelphia
representative. The friend said: Since
the Spanish war, when so many young
men from Cuba and Porto Rica have
come here to engage in trade, l have
seen scores of cases like yours. Yon
are killing yourself by insisting on liv-
ing in Philadelphia as you did in Ha-
vana. Persons who come to the United
States to live, no matter from what
part OF the world. must make certain
concessions to climate. You drink as
much black coffee and smoke as many
cigarettes here as you did at home.
Very well, it will kill you if you keep
it UP. Your insurance man probably
thought you were consumptive. Stop
living like Cuban in Philadelphia;
eat, drink ard smoke as men there do,
and ] will guarantee you an insurance
policy in less than two years. ''-Phila-

So it went on, and Trotter kept add

had accumulated almost enough to

About that time Trotter escorted his
1adylove to a public reception given in
honor of one of the royalties. who came
to open a big bazaar in the town.
They were ushered into the crowded
room, and awaited their presentation.
Finally the time came, and Trotter
whispered to the man who old the an

But the first half of the whisper was

For moment he was overcome;
then his stock of courage asserted it
