GEOGRAPHICAL FRIENDSHIPS,
Those which Depend Altogether Up-
on Being Located I'm the Same
NeighbOrhOOd.

A true friend of course, is one
whose bodily presence, agreeable
though it be, is not essential to the
continuance of the relation, says the
Weeks Progress. Such a one we meet
after a ten years separation with as
little awllwardness as if we had parted
yesterday. We need not even write
to each other, except as we desire to
know the facts of daily progress or
retrogresslon and satisfy our pride in
the others achievements or express
our verbal sympathy over his disap-
pOintments. Such friendships are few,
one or two for every man or woman
who is capable of deep feeling, and
that is usually all. But there is
larger minor grade Of friendships that
are based upon propinquity. The man
we chum with because we go to the
same college, or travel with on the
same train or boat, or stop with at the
same hotel, or sit near in the same
office, OF chat with at the same club be-
longs to this geographical class. Some
one of him may become a deeper
friend, but as a rule our relation with
him depends entirely upon certain
common interests, business, social or
intellectual, and does not extend be-
yond the qualification or the desire to
talk to or merely be some one who will
not jar. That desire, truly, is the foun-
dalton of all the common human in
terrelations; without it, social rela-
tons would be purely sporadic.

A POETIC LANGUAGE.
MaIagasses of Africa Have an Express
sive and Appropriate Name
for Everything.

The most pOetical of savage Ian
guages is that of the Madagasses, or
Malagasses, Of Africa. They call ev-
erything by a name that expresses its
appearance or its meaning perfectly.
Thus a hill is mountain child" in
the mouths of these people. Rivers are
"water mothers" A mVch-used path
the Malagasse calls a ripe path"
The brain is the heads innermost"
and the pupil of the eye is the "eye
king" The grinding teeth are the
teeth princesses," and the fingers are
called hand branches" If a man
lives carelessly the Malagasses say
that he "is eating his soul" "a jun
gle of boys" is the way the youngsters
are described when they gather in
numbers, and a very short space Of
time is denoted by the expression,
while one could roast a grasshop-
per-"
A selfish man is said to be "embrac-
ing the crocodile" and miser is said
to be a lover of the scorpion" If a
person is vain the Malagasses say that
he is grass that is trying to grow
bigger than a banana" The saucer
is the wife of the cup"

THIS MAN OWNED 900 WIGS.
for Collecting Odd Pieces
of Headgcar.

Continuing the hist of curious paral-
lels which the new claimant to the duke
dom of Portland alleges to have existed
between the fifth duke of Portland and
Mr.. bruce, the London Express gives
some facts about the mania for wigs
which is said to have been common 10
both men. A representative has had
an interview with the perruquier, who,
for about II years, was in constant at
tendance on the fifth duke.
THE first time l ever saw the duke, >"
this man stated, was about the year
1850. I was sent around to Cavendish
house by Mr.. Truefltt to supply the duke
with a new wig. These he was perpetu-
ally ordering. There was a small wicket
window on each side Of the front door
When I rang the bell l noticed that an
old butler was peering at me through the
glass.
AT last, after tremendous lot Of I'M
boiling, the door was opened, and I was
admitted to the house and conducted
upstairs to a room about 20 feet square
The walls were honey-cOmbed with pig
eonholes, and each one of these con-
tanned a wig There must have been at
least 600 of them"

INTESTINAL INDIGESTION.
Condition Drought On by t"llure
of the stomach to Perform
Functions.

The stomach was formerly supposed
to be the chief agent concerned in oiges-
ton, and all dyspepsia was referred to
some defect or temporary weakness IN
that organ, and treated by means OF
remedies intended to supply the as
sumed deficiency in the supply Of gas
trio juice.
Important though the Office per-
formed by the stomach is, it has now
been found not to be absolutely essen
tial, since it has been shown that the
food can be digested and made ready
for the uses of the body in the intestine
alone, says Youths Companion. In
deed. it is now known that the action OF
the intestinal secretions is the really
essential part of digestion, the office OF
the stomach being merely to prepare
the food and to start the chemical
changes which are completed by the
bile, pancreatic juice and intestinal
secretions. Nevertheless intestinal d.
gestion may be greatly disturbed by the
failure of the stomach to do its share,
and it is very necessary before attempt
