NORMANDY FISHER WOMEN.

of face is distinct from that which we see in English fishing ports, although very much the same influences tor so one would suppose) must have gone to form 1t, and there must be some al
 liance in blood between the races. Yet the type is distinct. There Is a pecu- liar glow of health in the ruddy color of the cheeks of the men and women alike, and herewith the skin O the face is apt to be worked into innumer- able small wrinkles, for all the world like those that you see on the skin of shrivelled apple. And, curiously, we are given to fancy that this Is to be seen more in those that live in an ap- pie country than elsewhere. This may be merely fancy, or it may be that the juice of the apple and the consumption of cider have really tendency to make the skin assume this distinctive and not at all unpleasant appearance.
 Again, you may take 1t, if you like, that this wrinkling of the healthy and wuddy skin is due, in 8 measure at le st, to the salt breezes which the faces catch; and the keenness of the salt breeze, with the sting of the sea salt in it, is in all likelihood the cause that the eyes are so often narrowed, so as to be little more than slits. and are, at all events, screwed together at the corners, with continually gazing into the eye of the wind You may see this mostly the faces of the men, who have been on watch on their fishing boats, hour after hour. looking put in the gales teeth; but the women have it, too. If it pleases your fancy to do so, you will have no difficulty in reading into the faces of the latter all the pathos. all the hope deferred of the return of their fisher lovers. and hus- bands, that Pierre Lott has told of so gracefully, or that a greater and earlier master of the truths that are called

 And tongues! One does not know what the intellectual grasp and range of these good people may be, but one may conjecture it to be limited, ex- tremely limited. Yet, within that re- stricted range it is very certain that their minds range with 8 great quick ness, as is evidenced by the exceeding volatility of their tongues if any sub ject of dispute arises One hardly knows whether their vocabulary is very large, but, at all events, 1t Is very ready at hand for use when wanted That, there is no doubt of And the want arises often, as it would appear One does not like, as good patriot. to confess any inferiority for ones own people, but 1t is hardly to be claimed even for Scottish fshwife, though she is a clamorous dame, that she has the same fuency. nor an equal shrill- ness of vituperation, as will come, on little provocation, from the lips of the hsherwomen of Normandy.

BRAVERY UF WOMEN.
An Instance Which Goes to Prove 1t
 Is Not Inferior to That of Men.

MT. James Barnes, the war correspond ent, a man who has seen many battle fields ana other scenes ot danger and dar- ing, tells ln V. c. ot what he deems the bravest deed he ever saw. The bravery was the bravery of women, which men saw but did not share. It was in Kansas on the line oI a newly-consLructed rall- road. The wIte ot one ot the contractors eooAed for 50 men In a little house ot sod and timber overlooking the railroad em- banhment. In a shach against the side ot the house 50 or 40 kegs ot glant pow- der had been temporarily stored. Two or three men were down with lever, and the boarolng house keeper had tahen them to the house ou the embank- ment.
 MT. Barnes had been out driving with the contractor. AS they ascended hill mile and half from the settlement they loohed back and saw the corral afire. It was full of dry oat straw. and the flames were sweeping toward the sod house.
 The powder!' cried the contractor. There's enough to blow the hill to smithereens!'
 Another instant we were tearing back, for all the world like an engine going to the fire.
 "As we neared the scene we could see the men running toward the building, that had now caught fire on the side near est the burning sJacks. But no one came farther than the spring in the little hol- low at the bottom of the hill. Evidently the news of the powder being there had become known. But suddenly, as we watched, while our horses tore over the rough and heavy ground, we saw two women running up the hillside toward the building They were the contractor g

4 wife and sister-ln-law. All at once we saw third figure appear in the door, way of the house, over which the smoke was pouring. It was another woman. and she was helping man, who was evidently almost too weak to walk. Be- fore the leader of the two women who were running up the hill got near her she had appeared with another man, wrapped like an Indian in blanket, and both men started down the hill; but the women did not stop. Without hesitation all three turned back into the house.
 "The house was plain in sight when we reached the top of the bank. Every minute we expected to hear the explo- sion that would mean horrible catas- trophe. Strange to relate, not a man of all those grouped about had gone for ward to the rescue. They stood there watching at safe distance.
 Suddenly at the doorway appeared one of the women again. She rolled out one of the small tin kegs or canisters of powder. Another followed, and then a third. Before we had reached the bot tom of the hill they had rescued every pound of it: and when at last some men approached to help even the stills of the windows of the house were on fire-one of the women stood there pouring water from a dishpan on the heat-blistered tins of giant powder. Even after that space of time, when placed my hand on one, found it still hot to the touch. The hands and hair and clothing of all three women had been singed and burned"

DREAM COMING TRUE
Another Link in the Cape to Cairo
 Railroad Nearly Completed.
Center of Africa Being Pierced by Steel Road-RaiIs Laid Almost to Victoria Falls on the
 Zambesl River.

Another link in what many peu~ pie have called the visionary Cape to Cairo railroad is about completed. Within the next three months, at the present rate of track laying, the road from Bulawayo in Rhodesia, South Africa, to the Victoria falls on the Zambesi river, will have been finished. 1t will then be possible to travel by rail from Cape Town northward over 1.700 miles. The line to Bulawayo was completed in 1897, at which time 1t had taken 38 years to build the road to that point Since that time over $50 more miles of road have been con- structed, and at that rate of progress the prophecy of Henry M. Stanley that by 1925 the line between Cape Town and Cairo would be open for traffic will be realized. that is if the long stretches of navigable lakes and rivers along the projected line be taken ad- vantage of.
 The section of country through which the road is now building is said to be perhaps the most interesting and richest portion of the entire route. The gold district of Mafungabusi and Lomagundi is traversed and the Sen. give coal area is skirted by the road 1t is said that within very short time the coal mines will be opened up and superior fuel provided for the engines, which are now burning wood The Victoria falls, which will be the terminus of the line for the present ak least. is one of the grandest natural wonders in the world. It has been called the Niagara of Rhodesia- A sheet of water over 1000 yards wids plunges down rocky abyss 360 feet to the river below. Livingstone was probably the first white man who ever looked upon this magnificent bit uf scenery. There are also in this part of Rhodesia touched by the railroad many interesting and ancient ruins, the origin of which has puzzled the archaeological for years. These will be made more accessible. and discov-l cries may be made which win reveal

NEGRO DIALECTS.
More Than Fifty Varieties Spoken by Co1ored Folks in Different
 Parts of the South.

A patron of cahewalks or an admirer of cakewalk music might be justif in not thinking so, but the fact is that there are more than 30 separate dialects among the coiored population of the south, says the New orA Sun.
 Anyone who has travelled through the tidewater count of Virginia is aware that the speec1 of the n gro popu- lation there differs Il. -erially from that used in the cotton fielGs of labama. The singsong speech ofAthe camp meeting negro from the hilly part of northern Georgia differs essentially from the soft CT and more meiodious speech of the Louisiana negroes from the region of canebrakes and rice fields.
 The negro race in the south is es- sentially imitati-e and in Louisiana, where the remiT of French occupa- tion are many rench accsnt and intonation are served. In South Carolina, which has, relatively, the largest negro population, there are found in the tidewater counties the Guinea negroes whose dialect is has been found difficult for many visitors to un- derstand.
 In southern and southwestern Mis- souri the negro dialect differs entirely from what it is elsewhere in the south, and in the Indian Territory, where there is considerable negro population, many Indian phrases and Inoian methods of speech have become Incorporated in the speech of the colored population.

MAP OF AFRICA.
 Showing Route of Cape to caire Railrrad ana
 Complsked Portions.
 facts in regard to ancient civiliSa&i0n which once existed in the heart o1 Africa
 The Cape to Cairo line as projected beyond Victoria falls will extend to Lake Tanganyilka, distance of about 800 miles. This lake Is 400 miles in length From the northern end of the lake to Albert Nyanza 300 miles mere of road will have to be built, when 200 miles of navigable water will again be reached, and which. will take one to Duff, on the Nile. Here 126 miles of rapids are encountered, around which the road would have to be built Then 1000 miles of navigabls river bring one to Khartoum, from which point railroad is now in operation to Carlo.
 It is probable that the sections Of the road between the stretches nf navigable water will be conStruotnd first. thus practically realizing the dream of Rhodes of a continuous r5ufe from Cape Town to Cairo. although it was the purpose of the South African Colossus to have an unhroken rail route extending through the entire length of Africa. This gigantic scheme of Rhodes has fascinated his country men and won popular favor. William Stead, the journalist, has enthusias- tically reviewed the possibilities and probabilities of the project. and even went so far as to predict that the en- tire line would be completed by 1909 But it has had it's foes as well. and many men whose judgments and opin- ions are worthy of much weight have pronounced the dream of Rhodes as impracticable and impossible
 But, despite the severe fire of criti- cism, the public has been interested. It has faith in the ultimate realization of the scheme. Money has been easily raised for the pushing of the road northward, and the last 60 miles of the line to the Zambesi are being rapidly laid through country which Henry M Stanley declared seemed to have been created for railway making. Thus, link by link, the road may be completed and the dream of the man who gave an empire to England come to be an accomplished fact

HONEY WELL INVESTED.
How a Prosperous Woman Physician Obtained College
 Education.

The name of Rosa Weiss, says the Washington Post, ought to be dear to every ambitious Amerlcan girl. Not content with Lne ordinary education which she received, she was anxious to get collegiate education, and one day spoAe to her brother about it. He told her he could not anord to pay the fees, but, taking a nic4-el out of his pocket, he, jesringly, said: ''Go on that' Even a jest will sometimes serve as an incentive, and the girl took her brother at his word. She took the nickel and went out and bought yard of calico. With it she made sunbonnet
 which she sold for quarter. The quar- ter she invested in more calico and more sunbonnets. Then she sold them to buy still more calico for still mere sunbcn- nets. She also made aprons. In this way she soon had little pile of dollars at her command Her brother was so pleased that he gave her some land on which, with the assistance of a little boy, she cultivated potatoes. In the first year out of that little patch she made $40, and as she got on she was able to pay her ex- penses at the college by her exertions, and she entered the wom en's medical college at Baltimore, where she paid for her tuition by nursing and to-day she is a physician with an excellent practice
