A recent traveller on the Niger writes:
81 was anxious TO buy some fruit from
n native woman who came down to the
ship, and to this end / produced a
handful of coppers which l had
brought out from England. l first
showed her five, then six, seven and
eight, but she pushed them all aside
in most unceremonious manner.
More by way of joke than anything
else, l then produced three penny
piece, which she at once accepted, CIV
ing me in return just twice as much as
l had asked for my eight coppers.
also discovered that she had a great
partiality for white glass bottles. !
happened to have about half dozen
empty soda water bottles, for which
she gave me the same number Of eggs.
l afterward found that any white glass
bottle had this purchasing power all
over Nigeria. The natives send them
to Bida, where they are melted and
made into rings about three or four
inches in diameter, to be worn either
as armlets or anklets."

In conclusion Mr.. Mitchell says:
4 regret to say that there appears
to be no immediate prospects OF set
tlemcnt but with the support of our
fellow unionists we feel confident of
our ability to continue the contest for
an indefinite period and feel sanguine
that the mine workers will yet secure

able them to maintain themselves and
their families and place them i'll a
position where they can repay i'll part

The Bark of n Dog.

Strangely enough, barking, which
seems to us SO characteristic Of the

more remarkable, If dogs are isolated
for long time from their human mas
ters they seem to lose the faculty.
Thus a number Of dogs turned loose
on Juan Fernandez island were found
In thirty-three years to have complete

Nature has just one pigment on her
palette with which she produces all the
marvellous tints of beauty. and that one
pigment is the blood. The shell-like
pink beneath the finger nails, the deli
cate rose on the cheek, the cherry ripe
ness of the lips the irridescent brillance
of the eyes are all produced by the
blood. Just as the permance of a
beautiful painting will depend upo puri
tY of the colOrs with which it is painted,
so the permanence of beauty depends
on the purity of the blood Paint, pow
der and cosmetics won't avail to pre-
serve beauty. Beauty begins in the
blood. DR.. Pierces Golden Medical
Discovery is true beautifier, because
it provides for nature that pure blood
with which alone she can paint. The
use of this medicine will cleanse the
skin, heighten the complexion, brighten
the eyes, and give to face and form that
radiance of health which is the greatest
charm of beauty. DR.. Pierce's Pleasant
Pellets are very effective in ridding the
system of clogging residuum, which ac-
cumulates with constipated habit.
